Testimonials

Helen Jewson

Landowner

“I approached Dandor Properties to help me with my land. The site is a 16 acre field just a few miles west of Oxford in Farmoor. However, this is in the Green Belt and not likely to be removed anytime soon. I have owned the land for over thirty years and had been unable to do anything with it.

Dandor was able very quickly to find a large Housing Association who were interested in the site.

Within 4 months, they had an option deal signed, with a large upfront payment.
The housing association have an excellent reputation and experience of dealing with the local authority and successfully obtaining planning.

Dandor was incredibly efficient and helpful throughout the negotiations, and I look forward to doing business again with the company in the future on other deals.”

Samuel Macdonald

Senior Strategic Land Manager – A2Dominion

“Dandor have proven themselves to me as an organisation who deliver. In my first dealing with them I was approached with a site which met entirely our search requirements, the negotiation and legal process was painless and any issues or queries resolved quickly. Through a solid understanding of both planning and commercial markets Dandor were able to bring about an outcome for the landowner and ourselves which all parties can be happy with. I hope to continue to work with Dandor Properties and look forward to good working relationship going forwards”

Allan Ramsay

Director of Development (North) 2008-2020 (retired) – The Guinness Partnership

“I worked in partnership with Dandor in my role as Director of Development (North) for the Guinness Partnership from 2017 until my retirement in July 2020. During this period, Dandor introduced many opportunities to us, across the North of England, to help meet our acquisition targets. The largest of these was a c1000 home site in central Leeds – Points Cross, which Guinness was eventually successful in acquiring. This major regeneration project is now on site with completions commencing in 2023.

I consider Dandor to be unique amongst South East based Land Agents in their willingness to hunt down opportunities in the North and across the UK. They have an exceptional network of contacts (regularly supplying opportunities for Guinness across England) and once the brief is clear, will generate a high volume of credible options for consideration. They understand how Housing Associations operate and work with energy and tenacity to help their clients meet their objectives.

Their service is responsive and fair, and once an opportunity is identified as suitable, they leave no stone unturned in their efforts to make it happen. The pre-purchase negotiation phase on Points Cross in Leeds was particularly challenging and Dandor supported us all the way, going to extraordinary lengths to help us achieve a successful outcome. ”

Andrew Jewson

Director – SGJ Limited Land Promotions

“We had our first dealings with Dandor Properties in 2019 whilst trying to find a buyer for a 6 acre housing site in Kent. We had a number of potential buyers but were finding it difficult to close a suitable deal.

Dandor Properties contacted us and delivered to us a large Housing Association client of theirs who successfully purchased the site. At all times Dandor was an excellent agency and kept us fully informed of their client’s requests, acting as go between with their client. They were always available and chased every query until resolved.

We have since continued to work with Dandor and explore further development opportunities, which we would be happy to do in partnership with them.”

Nick Sweeney

Chief Executive – X1 Developments Limited

“Dandor Properties was introduced to my company by a third party who we had instructed regarding the sale of a complex development site we owned in Leeds which we were securing planning permission for 5 buildings comprising of over 900 apartments with associated car parking, commercial space and public realm. Dandor managed to agree a sale with a blue chip purchaser and then worked tirelessly with both myself, my senior management team and with our solicitors to finalise and complete a deal within a tight time frame we had set for the transaction.

I was greatly impressed with Dandors measured approach. They managed the transaction for both parties extremely well and I have absolutely no hesitation in highly recommending Dandor to any company involved in any property related transaction.”
