Dixons Erdington Letting Services
Dixons Erdington, are a subsidiary of Countrywide run from their Warwick office. They provided abysmal management of my property. They missed 10 inspections over 5 years, lost the original contract, failed to handle tenant communications and their convoluted processes lead to repeated mistakes. Manager Raza Muhammad ignored my correspondence, was borderline aggressive when spoken to on the phone (the single time he spoke to me) and failed to provide the requested Terms of Business or confirm a move-out inspection, leaving me unaware of my property’s condition for re-letting. The branch was inexplicably closed during opening hours when I arrived to collect my keys, despite prior notification. The complaints department then made a series of derisory compensation offers putting their own interests before their customers. Completely unprofessional, always act like they’re doing you a favour, despite the fact you pay them for services they fail to fulfil. Use the lettings services if you are content that the Terms of Business you sign will be lost and misrepresented at every opportunity so they don’t have to do their job. Terrible.

Harassed my sister with multiple relentless calls after we went with another local estate agent for the sale of my mother’s house after her death. Despite telling them we were in a contract with another estate agent they did not stop and my sister blocked them.
Lack of care and respect for customers
Had arranged two viewings through Dixons (Quinton) - for the first viewing the agent told me only 15 minutes before the viewing that she was going to be 15 minutes late (I was already on my way), I arrived only to find out eventually that she was actually 45 minutes late, when we called to try and find out where she was our calls to the Dixon’s office continually rang through to voicemail. We (stupidly) arranged a second viewing a week later - this one was in my work lunch hour which I had made clear, I only had a small time frame to view the property. Once again the agent was 15 minutes late and once again my calls went unanswered - she eventually rang me to tell me she had arrived at which point I had already given up and started walking home. We received no apology. An overall atrocious customer experience with a lack of care and respect for people’s time.

Poor service
Very unimpressed with Dixons service in our recent house sale. First buyer they found wanted a buy-to-let mortgage but couldn’t get one so dropped out. We then dropped the price of our property for a quick sale, as we had already committed to an onward purchase, and we got 5 good offers as a result. Despite telling us that they were ‘working for us’ and that ‘the highest offer isn’t necessarily the best one to take’ Dixons proceeded to go with the highest offer - without even asking us if we were happy with that - a client who we soon realized had no real intention of going through with the purchase and we asked them to move on to the next highest offer. Dixons refused, saying we needed to “give him time” even though, after having been approved for his mortgage he had refused to sign it off saying that he wanted to view the property once more, which should have started alarm bells ringing for them too given that we had already expressed our concerns that he would not proceed with the purchase. Another week went by with him ignoring requests to come in and complete the paperwork before he finally admitted he wasn’t going to proceed, as we had suspected all along that he wouldn’t. Only then did Dixons try to contact the other 4 people who had made offers but, with more than three weeks having now passed, they were unsuccessful in contacting any of them. Then, they recommended an investor of theirs, presumably out of desperation to complete their target of finding ‘a buyer’ so they could claim their fees, who said he would purchase but at a much lower price than it was advertised for. Because we didn’t want to lose our onward purchase we reluctantly agreed to sell to him but, had Dixons ‘worked for us’ as they claimed to do, and acted on our request to move on to other clients we would likely have sold the property for a lot more. Often, email questions we asked about the process went unanswered and then, two days after we finally moved, we received a phone call from Dixons sales progressor asking when we were going to drop off the keys as the buyer was waiting to gain access. We had to explain that we had dropped off the keys and deeds on the day of completion. We were somewhat dismayed that she had called us without first checking with the other staff if we had brought them in. Because of their handling of our sale we feel like we were cheated out of tens of thousands of pounds. We certainly won’t ever use Dixons again and wouldn’t recommend anyone else do either.

Moved into a tenancy recently managed by Dixons Yardley. The property management team are very professional especially Sharon Allen and Harry Richards, who have been very helpful and prompt with their responses.

Ripped me off
Ripped me off! They took my deposit and then refused to give me it back when we didn't get the property - said I provided misleading information when that was absolute rubbish! Bunch of thieves - don't go near them

Poor
Not happy with the service provided by Dixons for our house sale. At the outset they told us that they were "working for us" and that "the highest offer isn't necessarily the best one to take". Yet, after receiving five good offers for our property, we were pushed to go with the highest one, from a client who it was obvious to us was a timewaster yet, when we suggested moving on to the next offer they told us we should give the client the opportunity to complete his paperwork. He later pulled out of the purchase and by then the other four people who had offered had either found something else or didn't reply to enquiries and because we were in a hurry to move as we had already committed to another purchase, we ended up having to sell to one of their recommended investors, at a loss of around £40,000. Staff often didn't respond to emails and trying to call them was very hit and miss. Definitely would not use Dixons ever again.

Excellent Estate Agent
The best house viewing I have been to so far. Really struggling to find a property at the moment and Sophie Hodgson has been absolutely brilliant. She is very informative and knows her job role very well. My viewing was very pleasant and friendly. She comes across very happy and very welcoming.

Disgusting Company! - AVOID!!
I Wouldn't even give this place 1 stars! They are the rudest estate agents iv had to deal with (Selly Oak Branch), iv recently just moved out of a property which I rented through Dixons & id definitely AVOID now if I was going to rent again . Timothy Reynolds was nothing but rude about me leaving threatening extra charges for leaving the property as he couldn't be botherd to read my tenancy agreement and see that under the break clauses I ended my tenancy in the correct way. All he cares about is getting his commission at the end of the day from there over priced properties. Daniella Lawmon also rude from this branch, questioning me about why I was leaving the property & also trying to threaten me with additional charges which where NOT in my agreement. They don't push the landlord on getting any repairs done they just fob you off on the phone with aload of rubbish to make sure you keep paying that rent every month so they get their commission!!. AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!!

Worst estate agent I’ve ever had the…
Worst estate agent I’ve ever had the misfortune to employ. They were completely uncontactable. The same day our house went up for sale, it sold for over the asking price. We had no chain, buyer wanted to move really quickly, it was a slam dunk you think, nice easy commission for Dixons? Nope, this was May, our buyer wanted to move in July. We finally got in touch with the agent in June and he hadn’t even called her. Needless to say we lost our sale. My feeling is that they probably will put in the work if your house is £1mil, if it’s less, don’t bother with them. This was the Shirley, Solihull branch just FYI
