Fabulous countryside development, Yapton

Great company to work with, from the outset Jo and Val worked really hard to make sure we got our dream bungalow, we love living here in the country.Sure there were a few items on the snagging list but they were soon identified and resolved. Sam the site manager knows his stuff and was always happy to help.We would buy from Dandara again, and would recommend to any new build buyers

So we have lived in our Dandara Home…

So we have lived in our Dandara Home for nearly 3 years and have been waiting for 18 months for a retaining wall to be fixed. The mortar is crumbling and there's cracks appearing. The garden is a bog and been part fixed with nasty grids that have now rusted. I am promised every time I contact Customer Relations that it will be fixed but it never is.

Move from North Devon to Drayton

Just moved to the Novo Drayton site in the last of the development here. Having bought new properties in the past I can honestly say that the staff at the marketing suite, Val and Tracy have been extremely helpful and caring at a difficult time. Although we had to wait longer than expected due to supply delays, it was well worth the wait with only a small number of minor faults which were sorted immediately. I would definitely recommend Dandara and after visiting other building developments Dandara exceeded them all with their customer service and build quality. We love the house!

I recently visited the new homes…

I recently visited the new homes complex at Paddock View in Yapton and was greeted with the best customer experience in a long time. The sales advisor was a great ambassador for the business and she knew everything that there is to know about the development, from construction detail to how energy efficient the homes were, which is critically important. I was so taken by the attention to detail and the high quality finish of the homes, it is without a doubt that I will be back soon!

Customer “Care”

Their customer care team is like talking to a wall. Speaking of walls, the new build walls are paper thin. I can literally hear every bang from my neighbours kids every single day and have done for the past year. When asking about wall specs, they can’t supply such information as it’s private to the company. That’s fine, but when making walls, I didn’t expect polystyrene to be their material of choice.

Dandara Jersey

I’ve been renting in Jersey for a few years, I’ve always been looked after by Brendan and his team ever since I come to Jersey. The team at Dandara have always been very helpful and professional. Throughly recommended.

Dandara Lettings Jersey

All dealings with Dandara Lettings have proved to be first class and problem free, from Brendan finding tenants to Terri, Liisa and Clair administering the apartments.We have had dealings with the Dandara Lettings Team for many years and have always found them to be fair and offer sound, practical advice.

Worst sales team and unfair process.

A nightmare experience with the sales and customer service. I had expressed interest in buying one of their properties at Saxon park, Bedford, well before they started constructing. Once they started releasing properties I went through their procedure of being “vetted “ by their mortgage advisor. However the process of reserving the properties is not transparent. I tried going to their office and was told to phone or book appointment online. I have contacted them to view an appointment via their website and have not heard anything back 5 days later. I then called the sales team and was told that someone will call me back but have still not heard anything yet. I’m starting to get the feeling that as also highlighted by another reviewer, despite having adequate funds , meeting all the criteria the process seems to be based on some sort of favouritism and have noted that some properties that have not been released suddenly yet appear as being reserved! I understand they have a choice to take on only those buyers they consider as best buyers, such as those not in a chain (we are not) but surely the process has to be fair for all those in that position. It seems ‘helpful staff’ (again referred to by other reviewers) again are only for those chosen buyers where they have made up their minds to sell to, clearly there’s a hidden criteria.

Victoria at Towerlands Park

My partner and I visited Towerlands park a few weeks ago and we were absolutely blown away. Victoria couldn't have been more helpful to us. Not only was she super professional, and really knew her stuff, we didn't feel pushed to make a decision in any way - Victoria simply had a genuine interest in us finding our perfect home, rather than it just being another sale. I would recommend Dandara to anyone!

Dandara=MOULD

Just had to get rid of a woven storage box that I have owned for at least 15 years- at my previous house I stored cushions in it. RIDDLED WITH MOULD. Six months of hell in this wet box. My advice- AVOID DANDARA HOUSES

Dandara should have no stars

Dandara should have no stars ! I’ve lived in Monarch Gardens for 3yrs and they still can’t sort out the issue with my guttering as it should run away from my house to the downpipe and instead it runs to mine causing dampness.Never buy a Dandara home.

Incompetent bordering on negligent

Horrific experience and utterly incompetent after sales team bordering on negligent. Customer support don’t action anything despite months of emails and phonecalls. Clear documented evidence of issues on handover and still 2 years on major issues with our doors, windows and bifold patio doors & our downstairs toilet. Promisee after promise given but never any substance to them. Soon enough the emails stop getting answered or you simply get a “no”.

Great customer service and quality homes

We've just moved into our home in St Michael's Park in Stewkley and have had a really positive experience with Dandara from start to finish, particularly the local staff working at the site. Belinda and Kelly have gone above and beyond to help answer any questions and support us through the process of our first new build purchase. This brilliant (ongoing) customer service, plus the top quality of the builds and finishes, is what sets Dandara apart from other developers and we're so happy that we went with them.

Excellent viewing by Jess at The Sweetings

We met Jess and Andrew at The Sweetings in East Malling and were shown around the stunning show home by Jess. We were so impressed with the Development and the care and attention the staff showed us. We think that the Chartwell suits our needs in particular because of the downstairs office and double garage. Jess and Andrew talked us through everything without feeling that they were being pushy. Great experience Dandara.

Fantastic!

We have had a great experience buying our new home from Dandara. After hearing lots of horror stories from friends and family about buying new builds, we had our reservations. However, Dandara have smashed our expectations. The team are helpful, kind and friendly and have kept in contact with us every step of the way. The builders we have met so far have been courteous and helpful. We have found limited snags so far (we have only been in a week) and the builders are all over them. Nothing we ask is too much trouble. I highly recommend Dandara!
