Can't say anything negative about Dunpark. They were helpful throughout the application process, liaising with the landlord to make sure it all went smoothly, were welcoming and extremely thorough at the signing, and were overall more than pleasant to deal with.

The only negative was the tenant profiling company they employ (UKTenantData) being quite expensive and not the best to use.

Dear Junio, thank you very much for your review. Thank you as well for your feedback on the referencing process. We felt the same way about the referencing company and have since made the switch to Sure Tenant who are easy to use and quick to respond. Now that you are settled in the flat, if there is ever anything we can do to help please just get in touch. Best, Dunpark

We’re sorry that you were not able to secure a viewing for the first scheduled appointment we had for the property at the Causeway. The property first went live on Thursday 21st November. By the time you contacted us on Sunday afternoon, 24th November, the viewing was already full as it is a very popular property. We schedule viewings by appointment and as this is a smaller property, there is only a limited number of spaces available on each occasion, so as not to overcrowd the property and pr ...

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. ...

Dear Roberta, it's unfortunate to hear that you had a negative experience as one of our tenants. However, we would like to clarify a few points that you have raised regarding the condition of the property upon exit and the fact that no renewal was offered. Firstly, having reviewed the check out photographs (which are always extensive and document as much of the property as possible in case of a dispute), the property was not clean upon exit, there were red wine stains on the walls and a bag of r ...
