We have just reserved our new home with Lyndsay. She’s been wonderful from start to finish, nothing was too much bother and went through everything to make us feel at ease.

Credit where Credit is due, Shawfair

I had previously left a review to reflect the annoyance we had at the start.
When we moved in, a young assitant Site manager was supposed to look after our Road and those of us who had just moved in. Long story short he was overwhelmed and we ended up waiting and waiting to get snags fixed, with other plots experiencing the same issue.
However Dundas listenned to our complaints and put a new Site manager in charge of the houses on our Road. Richard is a real gem at Dundas. We see him checking on progress on other plots reguarly, he stops for a chat and ask how things are and most importantly once he was in charge things got fixed.
Now with the changes Dundas has made, I would certainly recommend Dundas Shawfair site.
We are surrounded by greenery, 20 minute drive from Edinburgh city centre. The Plots have large Gardens and Houses are well planned out.
Dundas has now, certainly stood out to us by making changes where needed, by listenning to residents and by their hands on approach.

Easy to deal with.

Very pleasant to deal with and with a willingness to help. I've dealt with Dundas customer care a few times and although some problems do take a little time to resolve, they do get done. Many thanks.

Great experience from Erin

Our experience was made great by one person employed by Dundas Estates. That person is Erin the Senior customer care supervisor. The communication from Erin was very clear and precise. Our communication with Dundas Estates was an unusual one as it involved a long term new build holding fee. We didn’t have much luck with communication until we contacted Erin. Once Erin got involved it opened up a good line of communication. Which lead finally to a reimbursement of our holding fee. Thank you Erin. We can’t thank you enough.You kept is in the loop all of the way.

Terrible customer care

Terrible customer care, longstanding issues with completion of roads and handover to the local authority where we are unable to get repair work completed or any path to a resolution as they will simply not engage or respond. We have loose manhole covers causing noise nuisance and health and safety issues outside residents homes and their customer care team appear not to care at all. In another development where I have family living they have left drains which are overflowing and flooding the carpark when theres rain which Scotland gets plenty of. Their quality of finish in their homes is also substandard compared to other completed homes I have seen from other developers. 0 stars really but I cant give that as a review so have to reluctantly give them 1.

I am not getting any response from them at all.

Great customer service

I contacted Dundas to see if they could help with paperwork required for a house move. Erin called me back and was extremely efficient in finding what I was looking for. Excellent service especially as we bought our house 8 years ago! Very grateful.

Shirene was very helpful

Shirene was very helpful during the process of moving to The Wireworks development. Particularly in assisting me to choose & arrange to have flooring fitted before we moved in.she is personable, efficient & kind. Shirene is so suited to her work.

Very positive experience

Contacted Erin at Dundas Livingston (West Lothian) regarding a grounds query at the Letham Mains (East Lothian) site. Was very impressed with the speed of response & clarification on the issue concerned. Very helpful & positive experience.

Dundas took over responsibility for the Stewart Milne homes at Letham Mains. They quickly completed some of the unfinished roads and pathways as well as finishing the remaining homes. This was a very unsettling time for us at Letham Mains, so we were very grateful that Dundas stepped in to finish things off. The homes are now mostly finished too & available. They look really beautiful on the outside (not seen the insides) & are in a lovely location in Haddington. So if anyone’s interested in buying a new Dundas home in Haddington - you will probably need to be quick !

Reserving a Dundas home

We recently reserved a Dundas property. The laid back and no pressure approach is what attracted us to Dundas. Laura has been friendly, knowledgeable and ready to help while also giving space to make decisions at our own pace.

Dundas has responded to all queries quickly and has been a friendly check in as we are in the process of selling our property. There has been no negatives to date with our experience and hopefully this continues over the next few months!

We are in the process of buying a home from Dundas. We have now been dealing with Laura (@Dargavel Bishopton) for approx 6 weeks. During this time the level of service we have received from Dundas has been 1st class. Quite simply Laura has done as much as she can to help us every step of the way so far and I have no hesitation in recommending Dundas to anyone looking to buy a new home. Now, that said, we aren't in our new home yet as it isn't complete so this review very much relates to the service, attention and care Dundas give to prospective buyers. Thank you Laura, we think you are doing a great job!

I contacted Dundas Estates …

I contacted Dundas Estates via their website 'contact us' - this was not a sales query. This was quickly followed up by an email from Erin Hearne, Customer Care Coordinator within the appropriate department (passed across from sales) and also a prompt telephone call from the site manager to which my question was associated. Willie, the site manager 'owned' the 'issue' and has taken details away to investigate further. This was later confirmed by email and Dundas Estates will get back to me once an answer has been obtained - prompt and efficient service from all involved. Hoping for a satisfactory outcome but at least my question has not disappeared down some rabbit hole. Thank you for great customer service.
