Richy - an absolute legend

As with all new builds, we've had a few snagging issues to get sorted. Richy on site at Dargavel is an absolute gem - genuinely feel like if all Assistant Site Managers were more like him, the new build industry would have a much better reputation. Just a really lovely guy who wants to do right by new homeowners.

While we felt we were handed over to Customer care a bit too early, Erin in Customer Care has been really quick to respond to anything we've raised. She's obviously not in control of how quickly subcontractors attend, but we're happy knowing that Erin is doing all she can to get it done.

1 star off for a bit of overpromising and underdelivering by Management in the run up to moving in (but Laura in sales has been lovely).

Customer Service from Dundas…

Customer Service from Dundas (especially Erin) was very professional and communication throughout was excellent. Erin was very helpful in answering all my queries that I raised and I felt valued.

New buyer

When finally chosing which house was our forever home after Debbie kindly showed us a range of different layouts.
Nothing was a bother after this answering many a questions we had and guiding us on the right pathway for chosing the interior of our home.
Even still Debbie is a helping hand and it's nice to have a friendly face on site to answer questions we have still feeling like newbies.
Would recommend the sale of dundas to others. Over all a pleasant experience

This review is for poor customer service at The Wireworks Musselburgh

This review is for poor customer service. I feel it is a disservice to the public to NOT share.
From 8/1/25 to 30/1/25 I was without heat or hot water due to faulty boiler - due to misinformation and couldn't care less attitude from the top John Croal to the team on the ground .
I have never experienced such an arrogant regard to customer service . Thanks to Malcolm McArthur and Son it was eventually resolved. During this time weather exceeded lows of -8 which the team were aware of.
After several escalations I sought to speak directly to the MD of Dundas ....still waiting.
It would appear EVERY boiler may be faulty in the entire Wireworks estate something they wish to keep quiet.
I wouldn't wish this customer care team on my worst enemy.

Fantastic Service!

I contacted Erin in the Customer Care team on two separate occasions, both times I received fantastic service. Erin was very friendly, helpful and accommodating, she kept me updated frequently and dealt with my issues quickly and professionally. Thank you!

Excellent Customer Care

We moved into our new home in early November 2024. Like any new property, there’s a settling-in period where some issues (snagging) might need attention. Thankfully, we’ve had very little to address, and the concerns we did raise were resolved promptly and professionally. Erin Hearne, the Customer Care Coordinator at Dundas Estates, exemplifies everything you’d hope for in managing these situations. Whether contacted by phone, email, or text, she responds quickly and provides a clear path to resolution. Erin handles coordination with contractors for necessary repairs and follows up afterward to ensure everything is in perfect order.

Ask for Gillian @ Dundas Shawfair

Gillian provided outstanding service! She was quick to respond to emails and phone calls, attentive to every detail, and truly understood your needs when looking at new build properties. A true professional who made the experience comfortable and enjoyable.

If looking for a property in Edinburgh region, ask for Gillian at Dundas Shawfair.

Highly Recommend

As a tenant, it can be quite nerve-wracking having to report issues with a property. Dealing Dundas has been wonderful, and I have received excellent customer service.

On calling to report a fairly serious incident, Margo treated me with kindness and compassion. I have had ongoing correspondence with Erin, who could not have been more helpful. My issues raised have been dealt with quickly, efficiently and resolved to my satisfaction. Erin picks up enquiries with professionalism and good humour, and has been a pleasure to deal with.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Dundas Estates.

Dundas Homes Letham Views

Recently moved to a new house in the Letham Views development .
Graham Brown the sales executive for Dundas Homes was always polite and knowledgeable and kept me up to date with the progress of the house finish and possible entry dates .He was swift to respond to any queries and explained the various different steps to buying a new build in detail .
Once I moved into the house the site manager Jamie and the assistant site manager Richard were very helpful and remedied any snagging issues that came up . Richard is still helping with a few remaining niggles and is always very pleasant and jovial .
All in all a very positive first experience of buying a new build .

Dundas Experience - After Care

I will give my honest review of our experience in purchasing a Dundas property.
We moved into our home in March 2023 and the move in experience wasn't great with poor communication and having to constantly chase up for updated for our entry date that was delayed by 4 months.
Once we moved in there was the expected snagging required and again our experience of dealing with site team and management was poor to say the least.
However, after we made a formal complaint and where passed to the customer care team, for not just the handling of our case but also their own trades team, our experience was remarkably different and we where happy with the service and standard of work.
Erin, Margot and the team are fantastic and promptly dealt with our issues and at times went above and beyond to help us and resolve our repairs.
