What a bunch of sharks. I rented a flat from them in London Road for many years; they did absolutely nothing in the way of repairs, cleaning of common areas or general maintenance. If there is ever a problem, they deny it. Totally unhelpful, unreliable and not interested in anything except getting ... Read Full Review

The worst kind of old fashioned, pedantic estate agent office that should have died out in the 70s. They 'treat their email as post and will respond within 7 days', according to their own automatic email response. The rest of the world has moved on and any potential clients should too. My ...

The fees are not within the legally reasonable range according to the Leasehold Advisory Service.

Dawson Harden and Tanton were the management company for a block of apartments where I owned a flat. Thru are awful, true shisters. The residents pulled together to take them to court and we sacked them off. They are ruthless fraudsters do not go near ... Read Full Review

There is not a harsh enough word that can be used to describe this company. '*' does not even begin to scratch the surface.

I have rented from DH&T for almost 20 years and I do not have any complaint what so ever, I would suggest that the individuals making the complaints might take a long hard look at themselves in respect to what type of tenant they were. Landlord/tenant agreements are two way arrangements after ... Read Full Review

Took a number of weeks to fix a hole in one of the windows outside of my flat which was the size of a golf ball. Mr Earwaker is a very rude and unreasonable.

As a leasehold property owner, I am lawfully obliged to pay service charges to these managing agents and have done so for over a decade.

Dawsons have been charging very high maintenance, insurance and other charges for years for the small block where I own a flat. There was never any money in reserve because so much went on fees.

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.
