Dey King and Haria (DKH) are the reason Estate Agents have a bad name. After over ten weeks of dealing with them we feel emotionally (and financially!) drained, and have been forced to live in our friend's spare room for many months longer than we'd hoped. We were shown a property that we were told was back on the market as a result of the initial purchase not being able to proceed as quickly as required. We were then told by DKH that if we were able to get everything in place then we would be in pole position to purchase. As such, we proceeded to put pull out all the stops and had everything ready on our side within two weeks, and were told that the contract for the original purchaser would soon be returned. For the subsequent eight weeks we made daily calls to DKH to enquire about when this would happen at the same time as our solicitors were progressing with the case (which DKH were fully aware of) incurring considerable costs. We were promised calls back with further information on dozens of occasions from everyone at DKH (but mainly Sam & Ben), and heard back only a handful of times,€“ even if there wasn't any particular news to update us with I simply don't understand how they can so brazenly promise to call us back on so many occasions and yet claim to offer such good service. Finally, after ten weeks, DKH rang us to say that the vendor had exchanged with the original purchaser. Everything now made sense.. despite their laughable claims to the contrary they had simply been using us as an additional option for the vendor, putting our lives on hold in the process and leaving us out of pocket of in excess of £1,500. A few weeks would have been acceptable.. ten weeks of lying to us with costs mounting up is a disgrace. At the very least they done a very poor job communicating with us, but they were very much playing the game. We feel that we have been treated absolutely despicably and would actively discourage anyone from dealing with them in the future. Avoid like the plague.

DKH provided an 8page checkin report with zero photographs of the property condition at movein. An 84page photographic inventory taken on the same day was never provided during the tenancy, only disclosed during the deposit dispute process. This denied us any opportunity to challenge preexisting ... Read Full Review

Please avoid renting with them at all costs! You will never get your deposit back. Our flat was 30+ year old and tired as you would expect, which we accepted when we moved in. We lived there only 11 months as the house was poorly insulated, we even had ice inside the house in the winter months, ... Read Full Review

Simply outstanding is the best way to sum up my experience. Could not have asked for a better service or result. Got really sound advice on value of the property and best approach to get the best result, which worked a treat, getting us well above the asking price. Sam Dey and the team were ...

Dey King Haria have been fantastic in helping us sell. Even though the housing market was/is strong, we were selling a flat which post- lockdown were not as popular. To make matters worse we had a difficult buyer. Sam Dey, Samantha and Caroline navigated us through the process and got the sale ... Read Full Review

I don't want to make this review so good that it appears unbelievable but the service we received from DKH has been unbelievable. Sam Dey has been brilliant. His communication style, professionalism and attention to us and the detail has been second to none. He immediately put us at ease, ... Read Full Review

I had my property on the market with a much more famous name and received appalling service whilst being locked into a seemingly endless contract. Ben, Sam and Caroline have restored my faith in estate agents. Throughout I received great communication and updates. The sale started with advice ... Read Full Review

These guys are shady, avoid if you are a tenant. If you’re a shady landlord, go for it, they’ll squeeze your tenants out of every last drop of their hard-earned cash so you can have someone else pay for your ... Read Full Review

Buyer beware. Estate agents are known for a lack of ethics but these chaps will continue to market a property well after your offer is accepted, and eventually sell it on to someone else (very easy in a rising market). As a buyer you'll be left with legal and served costs. About time the industry ... Read Full Review

Sam was my link person, and at all times he was informative and helpful. I had an awful 5 months waiting to purchase the house, as others in the chain appeared so slow. However Sam kept in touch with me and chased the slow parties to try and get a completetiion date. He was always pleasant ... Read Full Review

Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.
