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.

Fake electrical certificate was given when bought a house through Dixons in Yardley

Bought a property through Dixons has a first time buyer and even decided to use David Smith for my Mortgage and I can say what a lovely man he is, he did all the hard work and running around, kept me updated at all times right until I had my house keys so thank you to him, will definitely be using him again and recommending him to all. When initially putting an offer on the house, I felt when it came to the price Zoe was playing on the fact I really liked the house and wanted it and so games were being played and I ended up paying £5k over the asking price which I really regret because when moving into the house, I found so many problems. When I spoke to Zoe about dodgy Electric work with a fake certificate given, she ignored it and said she can't do anything, even thou the person who sold the property is well known to Dixons. Highly advise everyone to paid and get a survey completed and not just rely on the Bank to theirs. Elite Properties LTD is the company that's sells house through Dixons with fake electric certificates.

Kings Norton Branch

I highly recommend anyone who’s looking to buy their future home, to go to the Kings Norton branch. From the start Korron and Amelia made me feel like I was family. Korron was with me every step of the way and help guide me on this amazing journey. She alway went above and beyond for me. Even going into work on her days off to help things so as smoothly as possibly. And for that I am truly grateful. Feel as though I have met friends for life. Thank you so much x

Do not rent from Dixons!

Do not rent from Dixon! I am currently suffering because of their lies. When viewing the property, Amber (Yardley branch) assured me certain issues would be fixed. She then called.me to say they had been. As soon as I moved in I realised she had lied. The shower floods and the kitchen has a leak which is now flooding the floor. It has been 2 weeks since I reported it, still nothing from countrywide. Avoid Dixon, Countrywide and save yourself future hassle.

Avoid renting from them!

Rented flat - Longley Walk, Chelmsley Wood. My partner rented a flat from Dixons for 12 months, on check-in the property had various marks and smudges and was far from pristine condition. I myself have worked in property lettings for 11 years and I deal with all aspects from check in, check out and releasing deposits on a daily basis, so I know exactly what is and is not acceptable. The flat had tiny electric wall heaters that were not wired in and did nothing to heat the flat, these heaters were not mentioned on the EPC as it had Blown air heating when it was carried out and would mostly likely fail a new EPC, you could see your breath in the flat it was that cold. Various repairs and the poor heating was reported to Dixons many times and even mentioned during an inspection but nobody ever got back to him even when he called up to chase. Before check out myself, my partner and his parents cleaned the flat, it was left in a cleaner condition than when he moved in. He then received an email from Dixons to say the landlord would like £190 towards cleaning. The deposit was on the insured scheme where the landlord holds the deposit and pays a membership to insure it with MyDeposits, this means MyDeposits always sit in favor of the landlord as they are the paying member not the tenant. With this in mind we disputed the deposit and sent photographic evidence of the cleaning and condition plus the emails shared, the deposit should have been released in full but they still took £145 of it and awarded the landlord. My advice is avoid renting from Dixons and always avoid signing up for a deposit on an insured scheme, the tenant will never be in a fair position.

Yardley branch outstanding

Used the Yardley branch to sell our property. We started discussing possibility of selling about 6 months ago but still had reservations as we hadn't decided when we wanted it to go on the market. Faye from Yardley branch was amazing, she kept in touch with us regularly and when we were ready to sell, she made the whole process so easy for us. Naomi from the same branch arranged viewings and she was so friendly and professional. We ended up with a serious buyer within 3 days of the house going on the market. Faye and Naomi are definitely an asset to the Yardley branch.
