Bad experience as first time buyers. Very unfriendly and pushy.

Hi Imogen We are really sorry you weren't happy with the way we progressed the sale to you - We are very pro -active and in this instance the sale had been slow to finalise on your end. The seller was on the brink of withdrawing and we had to up the anti in order to keep the sale together. I'm really pleased our actions worked in the end and that you now have a lovely home to call your own.

Not worth the 4.8 rating. They are nice at the beginning but they were very dishonest and one-sided. Avoid them if you can.

Hi Manny - sadly you didn’t leave the property as agreed and the owner has claimed from your deposit. You have the option to dispute this with the independent dispute service, TDS, which is a free service if you don’t agree with the owners view, but you haven’t yet done so yet. We have reminded you a few times to start your dispute. Please do this as we would prefer your concerns to be addressed correctly and fairly.

I would not recommend this company because when I reclaimed my property from DC Lane, it was left in such a terrible condition that it was completely unrentable and required thousands of pounds worth of work just to make it habitable again. They’ve attempted to shift the blame onto my previous management agent, but when the property was transferred to DC Lane, it was fully rented and in good condition.

DC Lane has mismanaged my property to the ground and have ended up having to sell my property as a result. After a claim for misconduct, I was finally compensated by the Property Redress Scheme. Do not use this company!

My experience with DC Lane, a property management company that I would strongly advise against dealing with. Their communication and customer service practices are extremely poor, and they have a tendency to prioritize profit over tenant satisfaction. Here are some key points to keep in mind if you're considering doing business with DC Lane: Prompt Reporting of Damages: Document any existing damages upon move-in and report them immediately. DC Lane has a history of ignoring or delaying repairs. Maintain Your Own Inventory: Keep a detailed record of all your belongings. This will be crucial in case of disputes or property damage. Persistent Communication: Be prepared to follow up on your communications multiple times. DC Lane often takes weeks or even months to respond to inquiries. Set Clear Boundaries: Establish clear expectations and boundaries from the beginning of your tenancy. Be firm in your communication and do not tolerate neglect or disregard of your concerns. It's important to note that your deposit is a significant financial investment. DC Lane might and will withhold deposits, even for minor issues that might not nesssarily be 'out of your control' I urge you to proceed with caution and consider alternative property management companies. Your peace of mind and financial security are worth it.

Dear Elliott. DC Lane have been trading for 5 years, and in that time, we have received 104 Google reviews in total. Of those 104 reviews only 5 of them are 1 star, and 97 are 5 star. All of the negative reviews come from the same group of individuals - those being tenants whose Landlords have made claims against their deposit due to them leaving the property dirty and/or damaged with significant costs to put right. Your review adds another to that small group. Over 600 tenants have left homes arranged by us in that time, and less than 1% have been unhappy. We do not profit from arranging remedial works needed to get the property ready for the next occupier. All security deposits are fully protected by the DPS so if you do not agree with the charges your Landlord has claimed, it will be looked at by an independent adjudicator and the funds will be distributed on their instructions. Others can indeed read our reviews and make a decision if they would like to use our services. To those reading, all we would say is – Tenants, do enjoy your stay and please treat the property with the same respect you would your own - and to Landlords we will protect your property if tenants don’t.
