We recently sold our house using DDM estate agents and also bought a property that was on the market with DDM! Great communication, friendly agents and great advice from start to finish! Would definitely recommend them if you are thinking of selling your house!

Hello, sorry for infringing your privacy. When I was checking some sport news on Facebook, I saw your beautiful profile picture. I tried sending you a friend request, but it failed. I thought it was your friend so I decided to write something awesome in your comment box. Maybe we can be friends. Well, if you don't mind, you can send me a friendly request and let's be good friends here, I'll love it

Marie was really enthusiastic - maybe a bit too enthusiastic about the price she could get for my house. Unfortunately I was not impressed with the rest of the service. I was told that it was preferable for DDM to show prospective buyers round, but I ended up doing the majority of the viewings. I did not get find back unless I asked about the couple of viewings they did manage to do. The lovely couple who did finally buy my house had sold their house through DDM, but DDM did not promote my house to them and only heard about it at the last minute. Really would not recommend DDM.

Hi Ruth, Thank you for your review and for choosing DDM Residential to sell your property. We always aim to price homes accurately and in line with our clients' individual circumstances. Having successfully sold many properties in your area, we were confident and enthusiastic about your home from the outset. Shortly after launching your property, another home on the same street came to market at a slightly more competitive price, which prompted the need to adjust yours to maintain buyer interest. Once this change was made, we were pleased that our sales team was able to negotiate the full asking price for you. We do appreciate your comments regarding viewing feedback. While we make every effort to obtain and pass on feedback from all viewers, there are occasions when some do not provide any, despite our follow-up attempts. We value your feedback and will take your comments on board as we continue to improve our service. Thank you once again for allowing us to assist you with your move.

This company doesn't rent houses to persons, it rents landlords properties.

Bit of a disappointment! Advert read vacant, only to find on the viewing it had long term tenants, there's also a 3rd party AML check which was £25 suddenly gone up to £30 overnight! The property had been on the market for 11 months , as soon I'd made an offer they had higher offers, very strange indeed. DDM please be honest with your buyers .

Hi City Lets, thank you for taking the time to write this review. We always appreciate constructive feedback. Would you be open to a quick call? for some reason we can't find what property this pertains to with our Scunthorpe Branch as we only currently have 1 property being sold with tenants in situ and it is clearly marked on its advertising. Our AML checks are also not £30? they are £25 and have been for a long while as we charge this out at cost to the client. You would only be asked for payment on this if your offer has been accepted. Without sounding condescending are you sure this is DDM Scunthorpe? happy to chat this through on the phone Kind regards David

The worst customer service I have received in a long time. Not one email was responded to. When I called staff were uninterested. I was told I had no paperwork to fill in, Im not sure how you apply for a house without any paperwork? I doubt our 'application' was even put forward. We then had to chase them for a week because they couldnt be bothered to tell us anything.

Totally utterly unprofessional & disgusting, the way of how they regard tenants when you moved out. Thanks to TDS intervention that we got a partial deposit instead of paying 3 times of our original deposit. This company DO NOT rent houses to people. It rent landlord properties Stay AWAY & AVOID from DDM if you want to get your deposit back.

Sorry to hear you had a negative experience Arinah, unfortunately not every situation can be resolved. Just for a bit of clarity, when we initially 'Let out' a property a full schedule of condition (inventory) will be conducted. When that tenancy comes to an end, the landlord and ourselves expect the property to be returned in a similar condition to when it was originally let out and this inventory will be used for cross reference for damages/cleanliness etc. If a tenant has unfortunately not returned a property in the same condition, then deductions will be sought by the landlord from the initial deposit and we will use the TDS to independently adjudicate, as in your case I can see that they had made these deductions in what is fair for all parties. We take great care in making sure that these properties are returned to our Landlords in a similar condition to when they are let out and always give tenants fair opportunity to rectify these issues before move out so that a full deposit can be returned.

After finishing my affairs with this agency they are still holding my deposit even if the landlord has agreed to have it released over a week ago and the expected date given by the agency has passed. No one is taking responsibility for it, the Grimsby office will pass it to their Scunthorpe branch, where Aaron is not replying to his emails and Lynne who actually is supposed to help me with this according to the Grimsby branch manager tells me to wait for Aaron to reply. Everyone is passing the ball, no one takes ownership of problems and lack of proactiveness. Guess I'll have to involve my solicitor to get back what's mine. Stay away from them if you want to get your deposit back!

Sorry for the bad experience Cozmolici, its never a great situation when we have a deposit dispute. Most of the time, when situations like this happen, its is usually because a tenant has left a property in sub-standard condition compared to when they move in or they are in rent arrears. Hopefully this helps shed some light on the situation.

Book a viewing with them to see one of there houses on sale in Scunthorpe , once there realize that nobody is coming to show us the house, I give them a quick call and they just said the house got sold but no email or phone call to inform me about this and made me drive 45 min, useless agencyNegativeResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Apologies for this Marius, that is definitely not our usual standard. Though its negative it's good feedback for the team for future training and service improvements. Thank you for taking the time to air your concerns.
