I would not recommend Dowen to prospective sellers. They appeared good at the start - my house sold within days because it appealed immediately to my buyers, who had been looking for 15 months. Dowen's follow up customer care was very poor in terms of lack ...

To say I was shown around the property I was interested in would be hyperbole. Dawn Teggert literally stood in a corner and acted as if she couldn't wait to get us out of her sight. I understand that landlords have requirements and we may ...

Expensive admin fees. Quite extortionate when you compare with other agencies in Durham.

I've had an extremely disappointing experience with this real estate agency.
We arranged a viewing for a property in Newton Hall, Durham at 10.30am. We have originally informed the agent, Dawn Teggert, that we're coming all the way from Manchester, which is 2 1/2-hours driving distance ...

Hello, I had a similar experience with the same woman, Dawn Teggert. She seemed very rude and condescending without really having the right to be. She was unprofessional for someone so judgey and was late with us too because 'she picked up the wrong keys'. It's a shock that she is an estate agent and that her feedback is 'exceptional'. Maybe she should consider working somewhere where there is no people skill; it may be more suitable for her. As sorry as I am that you had to go through that, I'm ...

Awful experience at Durham Branch, rude staff member on telephone who blamed everyone for their mistake but themselves!!! Asked for all viewings to be accompanied (not that I need one, but a very good reason for that). First viewing, accompanied? Nope!! Rang the agent who ...

Upon moving in, numerous repairs were promised including broken guttering, a damaged back fence, the gate on the side of the property having fallen off and lots of exterior wood work needing painting to prevent rot. The painting happened after living in the property for ...

Comment on agent fees
‚£250 for an admin fee seems quite a lot, the 15 minutes we spent in your office couldn't have been that expensive for you

Dowen had my property on their books for more than a year and only one (not serious) viewing was arranged. I had to show the viewer around myself. Their idea of sales seems to be put up a sign, put it in the paper once ...
