TrustpilotThanks to a fabulous team.
Just a quick note to pass on my thanks to Terri, Brendan, Samantha and Clair. Over several years now they have secured me new tenants and managed any issues or concerns while at all times keeping me abreast of changes. A really helpful and great team who help to make renting my apartment as simple as possible.

TrustpilotGreat communication and assistance but a lot of paperwork
We got constant detailed communications and assistance through out the whole process from viewing till we moved in which was really helpful. Was just annoyed with some of the requests especially for a scanned copy of ID, well the purpose of the ID is just for identification and shouldn’t really matter what format scanned, picture or anything as long it’s clear to see the details. The paperwork seems just quite a lot and cumbersome for a rental process. I would think the key element is the ability for the tenant to pay rentals.

Thank you for leaving a review and we are sorry to hear of your frustrations with the paperwork side of things. We require a true copy of the original document before proceeding with any rental agreement. Thanks again for the review and we’re sure you’ll be very happy in your new home.

TrustpilotThe best sales person we have ever met!
We have bought two properties from Dandara through Katrina de Jesus. Katrina is so professional, knowledgable and not pushy like most sales persons. We would only ever recommend Katrina to friends who were purchasing from Dandara and we would only ever contact Katrina direct if we were to purchase from Dandara again, she is simply the best!

Carmela has been an absolute diamond from the first moment we spoke to her. Make us feel so at ease and comfortable. Very overwhelming process but Carmela just made it all so easy for us and stress free. Nothing ever feels rushed or a problem, even with my 1000 questions each time we see her!

Our move to our new home in Drayton, Portsmouth was very good, minimal troubles. The Dandara sales staff at the site were very professional and gave us all the help we needed. Full marks to them. We are very happy in our new home, it is warm and comfortable with all we need. Well done Dandara.

TrustpilotOutstanding Service- Property Maintenance
My balcony door got damaged by strong winds a few weeks back. I called Dandara and they were very swift in organising repairs through the property management company. I was particularly pleased that they kept me posted on developments until my door was fixed. Special mention to Terri and team for a fantastic job.

TrustpilotDandara Jersey's Professional Rentals Property Department
During my recent review of Dandara Lettings Jersey, I was particularly remiss in failing to mention and sing the praises of Samantha Patocka, Rentals Property Inspector, who has provided me and my tenants with excellent, essential. professional service for many years. She provides regular inspections of the properties, organises essential statutory electrical testing and certification, attends to all maintenance problems and organises annual maintenance for the windows, doors, fan filters and hot water cylinder. Both landlords and tenants are blessed to enjoy the dedicated and professional services that Samantha provides year in year out. Thank you.

TrustpilotHalf completed jobs and broken promises
In terms of the house build we are satisfied just.. .. However the surrounding areas of the estate have been left and uncompleted at the Buntingford keepers chase Estate. We have a park that is unsafe for children to use. When I mean park I actually mean a pile of mud that they have plunked a slide on top of.Other areas that have just not been completed around the estate not to mention the front of the estate where they have grassed half the entrance and left the rest as weeds. Many things were promised such as noise barriers which was part of the planning application but yet they have somehow managed to wangle their way out of that too.Whenever you try to call customer service it's oh I will look into that and nothing never gets done. Quite frankly regretting the decision to move into a dandara property if my children can't even play safely outside the front of their house.

Thank you for your review. We value all feedback but are sorry to hear that you're not happy with the surrounding areas. The public area (LAP, local area of play) was implemented in line with the approved planning drawings and signed off post installation by a third party accredited company. The external areas on phase one are maintained by Premier Estates, however a number of areas could not be completed until the compound area had been vacated. Now that they have vacated we are liaising with the groundworker to schedule in the completion of all outstanding on site works with a view to start works in the Spring.We remain committed to delivering and installing the acoustic fencing as soon as agreement can be reached with Hertfordshire Highways in terms of the position and specification of fencing that they will accept, this is due to the fact that fencing is to be erected on highway land and as such cannot be completed without highways consent. Monthly meetings are scheduled with highways to encourage them to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.

TrustpilotTake it with a pinch of salt
I absolutely loved working for Dandara & pay was good. I was a welfare officer on site maintaining toilets, kitchen, canteen, dry room etc......only down fall was site manager was full of promises stating I'd have a Job here for the next 8 years as building over 500 houses. Worked a week in hand to find out via text message it was my last day on site. I was absolutely devastated, I'm a loan parent & wasn't even given a weeks notice. I feel Dandara don't support with Mental health either even though they advertised this on they're site. I feel very let down. I even supplied heating for workmen as this wasn't supplied by Dandara. Workmen were very cold when they were on they're breaks. I'm utterly devastated as I met great people.

The Sweetings development has finally become our new home after a frustrating and complicated sale with our previous house, taking over a year to resolve! My husband and I felt compelled to write this review because Emma and Andrew, both sales advisors for Dandara, were exceptional in their care from the beginning process right up to our completion to be honest! They were both extremely supportive, kept in constant contact and could not do enough to make sure our experience was as pleasurable and stress free as possible! Thank you both so much for your professionalism. It was a pleasure having you there for us through it all. Jackie and Philip

I rented a westmount apartment with Dandara. Terri and Brendan were always polite, efficient and helpful. I have rented properties with agencies but the team at Dandara made the move in / out process as smooth as possible, providing references for my future landlord. They were also attentive for the duration of my tennancy.

TrustpilotExcellent help in our choice of home by Susan in Aberdeen
We have reserved a home on the Dandara Grange development in Aberdeen. We first met with Susan Gordon who spent a lot of valuable time with us to help understand what houses were available in our preferred site location and go through the detail of finishes that are available and what incentives Dandara were offering. She is friendly and professional and has shown great patience in answering our many questions and helped so much in making the choice of our future home. Susan has kept in touch throughout the whole process and encouraged us to visit the show home regularly to ensure we are happy with our choices and updated with the status of the build.
