Do not use Dunpark. Slow or late but usually both. Cannot (or will not) follow simple instructions. Do unnecessary works and then overcharge for them. Agreed refunds not repaid. Do a thorough check before engaging them. (NB. Cairnsmore Technical Ltd is NOT an independent contractor, but is wholly owned by the same husband and wife that own Dunpark and has a "Maximum Risk" credit score with Experian.) Lowest ethics of any business I have ever encountered.

    Inaccurate estimates. Inaccurate invoices. Grossly overcharge. Invoice same day, but respond (haha) sometime/never... Credit note? Forget it! Your worst nightmare.

    Dunpark is a no debt business. All client funds are held in an ARLA audited client account. Many agents have their own in house maintenance companies, we are not unusual in the industry in this regard.

    No debt? Really? Not according to the Dunpark balance sheets for the last three years. Dunpark's credibility on this forum is so low precisely because claims like "Dunpark is a no debt business" can be shown to be false and evidenced to be so, from public records. You have your own in-house maintenance company... sure, that's fine, but Dunpark cannot ensure "prices are fair and firmly negotiated" with Cairnsmore Technical when both companies are owned and run by the same husband and wife. Which makes "passing the benefit on to you" grossly misleading.
