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 conditions. We arranged a professional end of tenancy clean before checkout. DKH refused to allow our cleaner to free remedial work under their cleaning guarantee, citing an internal Checkout Guide policy that does not appear in our signed tenancy agreement. They then charged £450 their own preferred contractor, a figure proposed six days before the invoice was even produced. A serious water leak from the upstairs flat occurred in July 2025. DKH declined to assist, stating it was outside their responsibility, and directed us to contact the landlord directly. Despite reporting on 27 July, an engineer only attended on 29 July, two days later, during which time water continued spreading across walls, ceilings and carpet. The resulting hallway damage was later attributed to us at checkout. A doorbell fault reported in August 2025 was referred to the building management company without followup. A fire door blocked the communal escape route from July to November 2025 despite notification to DKH. Mould present at movein, documented on day one, was later used as a basis deposit deductions. Note: The deposit is held under the mydeposits Insured Scheme. DKH retains funds directly. You must actively initiate the ADR process to recover your money. We recovered £192 of the disputed £532 through ADR. Be vigilant: request full photographic documentation at movein and keep all communications in writing.

    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

    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

    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.

    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 ... 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.
