Very laid back attitude

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.

When you leave the rental property cleaner than when you moved in and they still withhold over £100 of your deposit for moderate cleaning. Scam!

Didn’t have a good experience buying or selling with Dawson’s, wouldn’t recommend to anyone. Friends have had similar experiences, disappointing.

By far the WORST estate agents ever known! Not one member of staff have any sort of customer service, avoid 53 PENTREMALWED ROAD at all costs! They don’t fix the problem they just paint over the damp. My daughters £1000 pram had to be thrown because damp issues weren’t solved. Along with numerous of other items. After we terminated our contract, handing the keys back on the 1st they think they can justify charging us 8 days until new tenants move in so the landlord can paint over the issues ????????? because that’s all will be done. 1.5 years we put up with it, you shouldn’t of received rent at all living in this, never mind trying to get money out of us when we’ve handed the keys back! INSPECTIONS every 3 months are a load of s***. Don’t know why you waste the time giving these people job titles as they just think they are doing you a favour (as they’ve stated numerous of times) “not like it’s there job or anything” AVOID AVOID AVOID

We have been reporting issues in our property for nealy 2 years now, at every 3 month inspection and several times in between. The main issue concerning us is a leaking conservatory, every single time it rains, it floods! Each time we are told 'a report has been logged', 'someone will be sent out soon', nothing has EVER been done and these issues have now escalate to the point where 1 room of our house is coated in black mould and the walls are falling off (photos attached). This is just one of the many problems we've reported and Dawsons has done NOTHING. Our 3 young children live in this house with us, it is unsafe for them and we will be reporting this to environmental health and our local councillor. Absolutely abismal, if this had be rectified when we first reported NEARLY 2 YEARS AGO, we wouldn't be in this situation. Stay well away from Dawsons.

Rented with them years ago always unhelpful and nothing ever get sorted but I should thank them as it pushed me to buy my own house, avoiding any being sold by them of course

Rude staff namely Lauren Sketty branch

My husband and I viewed a property recently. Lauren from the Sketty branch called for feedback, upon giving my reasons, i.e road layout, no entry on the street meaning poor traffic conditions to get to and from the house as the position of the street would mean travelling via the lights at the retail park for the school runs etc, she started arguing back stating we must have traffic where we are now etc etc! I was very surprised and needless to say will not be choosing Dawson's to sell our property if that's the way they badger potential buyers!
