After months of trying to sell my house with another estate agents, I thought that Dawson's were the right people to help us move on, however, I was wrong. They valued our house a lot lower than other estate agents, granted their valuation might have been more realistic. We had many viewings in the beginning and led to an offer which we accepted. I hadn't heard anything off Dawsons for weeks regarding the sale and we were under a little pressure as we wanted a house up for sale but the seller wouldn't except our offer until we were further along in the chain. I asked Dawson's if they would just contact our buyer to see how things were but unfortunately, they said they don't work like that. Therefore, I took matters into my own hands and contacted the buyer (As they left me their number) only to find out they pulled out weeks prior which we wasn't informed. This made us angry, especially after a lady knocked our door the week before to ask if the house had sold because Dawson's had been turning her away for weeks before we even accepted an offer! This made us wonder, how many other people they turned away?! Apparently, if they don't have other bookings booked in, they will refuse as they like to do block bookings. In the end, I started showing viewers around no matter what time or day in the week, so basically doing their job for them. Anyway, I got back in touch with the lady who knocked the door and we agreed a sale between ourselves and once Dawson's found out they were adamant they were taking over and still expected the fee. I understand we were still in contract but they didn't do anything to sell our house as they actually turned our buyer away and I believe if she didn't knock my door, the house would still be up for sale today. Luckily, everything went through in time to get the house we wanted but Dawsons nearly cost us our new home. A part of me wish I stayed with the original estate agents as I believe we would have had more for the house and the communication was so much better and more frequent. Dawsons get 2 stars for listing the property and taking some good quality photos.

Good afternoon Daniel Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We are grateful you have taken the time to share your views of your experience and regret that it didn’t meet your expectations. As you may recall, we worked together in July of this year to resolve the issues you mentioned, and at that time, we believed everything had been addressed. As you kindly note, we aim to provide realistic valuations for all our clients, allowing them to make informed decisions on their forward property journey from the outset. Our team proactively handle all buyer enquiries, following our viewing procedures at all times, both to protect the vendor, prospective purchasers and a smooth transaction at all times. Whilst our procedures were discussed at length in July with yourself we would be more than happy to clarify these once more should you wish. It was a shame there was a delay in your initial buyer communicating with ourselves that they were no longer proceeding with the purchase, causing stress to yourself during what we know is already a challenging time, we were however extremely pleased to be able to support you through to completion of sale, ensuring everything went through in time to get the house you wanted. Thank you for trusting us to list your home for sale. We take on board all feedback received to ensure we refine our processes to move forward and improve on our client experience where possible. We hope you have settled into your new home and should you wish to discuss this further, please feel free to reach out to me directly. Kind regards Sharon Mayes
