GoogleFirst off, let me express my thanks to Monica and the rest of the team in the Blandford Office who have been amazing since the very first moment My Mrs and I approached them about a letting they had available.
The team in Blandford contacted the Landlord of the property expressing how much interest we had in the property, they not only managed to convince the landlord to hold the property for us but they also helped us with advice on how to get setup in the property and have pointed us in the right direction for utility's and insurance.
if i could rate the team any higher i would do as they are absolutely amazing and very helpful!
i highly recommend the team here for a top service!

GoogleI had been looking for a property to rent in Dorset, which was particularly difficult as I have a dog. Grace from Dorset Property was extremely helpful in securing me a viewing of a bungalow, which the landlord originally wasn't going to allow pets. As I was only in the area a couple of days a week, Grace was extremely accommodating and flexible.

GoogleExceptional Letting Agency! I have been with Dorset Property for years, and they have consistently provided top-notch service. Despite the office relocating from Shaftesbury to Blandford, they have remained highly organized and efficient with all paperwork and communications. Their dedication to keeping everything up to date is truly commendable. I have always felt supported and informed throughout the rental process. I highly recommend Dorset Property to any property owner seeking a reliable and professional letting agency. Thank you for your outstanding service over the years!

FacebookAfter renting through Dorset Property, Weymouth branch, for the last five and a half years I would like to take the opportunity to thank everyone in the Weymouth branch for their friendly and professional service. All my, not too many, complaints and faults were dealt with extremely fast, they were never intrusive in their management and the final βcheck outβ was stress free! Also, I would like to say that my deposit was refunded within one working day. Many thanks and highly recommended!

GoogleI have been a landlord now for 10 years plus with Dorset Property managing my property. Always efficient and professional but above all very friendly and personable. The move of the office out of Shaftesbury has not changed their management style. Elisha particularly who has recently taken over managing my property is excellent. Very forward thinking, a real problem solver before you knew there might be a problem! 10/10 from me.

We would like the opportunity to correct some factual inaccuracies contained within this review.
This property in question is an Annexe and as such, specific requirements determine if the local authority treat the accommodation separately for the purposes of Council Tax liability. This was the circumstances around this let. Dorset Property were instructed by the Landlord to find a Tenant on an Introductory service. This means the Landlord is responsible to set up utility accounts for their Tenant and liaise with the Local Authority.
Maintenance issues throughout the tenancy are the responsibility of the Landlord when managing their own property and not that of the Agent that advertised the property for let initially.
The Tenantsβ Deposit was protected within a Government Scheme on behalf of the Landlord at the start of the tenancy. Any negotiations relating to dilapidation and deductions are the responsibility of the Landlord at the end of the tenancy on an Introductory service. Dorset Property were not responsible for any proposals in this specific case.
Whilst we are sorry to learn that this Tenant has had a negative experience after agreeing to rent a property through Dorset Property earlier in the year, the circumstances around the outcome are not as a direct result of specific actions taken by Leon or any other Employee of Dorset Property.

Throughout that time they have been highly efficient, friendly and always available to help with any situation that has arisen .
We would definitely recommend Dorset Property to other Landlords and Tenants.

I was trying to find a property for renting with Dorset Property.
Jana Β· 12 July 2025
Agent replied Β· 23 February 2026
Dear Jana, Thank you for taking the time to provide details on your experience. At Dorset Property we use a third party to carry out referencing whom also provide the pre-application forms you refer to that ask about the rent you are happy to pay. The reason for this question is not to encourage a bidding war, far from it, this is so that we have an understanding of your budget should the property you are applying for be let to another applicant. We can then successfully match you to other properties that suit your requirements. From the information you have provided I can see that you enquired about a property we begun advertising in June and the following day were contacted to provide your details and a viewing was arranged in the same phone call. We can see since your review, you sent in a further enquiry for another property we were marketing and a viewing was arranged with you. In fact, you were accepted for a tenancy at this property, once we had begun to set up the prospective tenancy, you then advised your circumstances had changed and you withdrew from the offer. If you would be happy to contact us directly regarding the other experiences from friends, we will be happy to resolve any issues.

GoogleWhen Grace worked here it was the best letting agent in town, by some margin - she would actively pair prospective tenants with properties. However now Iβve been in to update my search and details itβs clear that the staff arenβt interested in helping. Itβs a shame, itβs just another βcheck rightmoveβ letting agent.

FacebookTakes ages to do anything. Tried to take around 95% of deposit when TDS went in my favour and awarded me around 90%. Did not communicate well as could of reasoned with me whilst the claim was going through. Did not look at evidence from check in inventory and check out inventory as many similarities. Used poor quality inventory reports from unregulated company. Would steer clear from this company.
Paul Β· 7 November 2019
Agent replied Β· 22 February 2025
We are sorry you did not have a favourable experience when moving out from one of our managed rental properties. However, as Dorset Property is ARLA registered, we follow a strict code of practise in handling deposits and if there is any dispute at the end of a tenancy we have to work through each stage of the process meticulously to ensure the dispute is settled fairly for both tenant and landlord.
When there is a dispute, we always attempt to mediate between the landlord and the tenant but ultimately, if an agreement is not possible, the dispute has to go to arbitration. At this stage the dispute is beyond our control.
In addition, it is our policy to always use professional third-party inventory companies, who provide first-class comprehensive inventories and schedules of condition. We are confident that the inventories for this property were of this standard.
As you can appreciate processes as outlined above can take some time and we can only apologise for any unpleasant experience you may have had.
Where the same review appears twice we show it once. We leave out reviews that name another agent or another of the brand's offices.
