Dot Dot Dot Property Guardians

Unsure what the low scores are about! the property I wanted was a little rough on first inspections so I was worried, however they put it into good arrangement before I moved in. One of the 'issues' is that this agency DOES take longer than others to decide the tenants that they want in their properties and that can be off putting, especially if you are in need of quick accommodation. However, for myself that process coincided with my own personal timeline and now I have a great two bedroom property in East London. To explain the 'social' aspect of being a Dot Dot Dot guardian. There is an expectation that you would complete 16 hours of volunteer work per month. This was off putting initially as we are all busy! However, as I already do personal projects like mentoring these hours are covered. They also have an in-house desk o find volunteering roles if a tenant is struggling to find something. Finally, everyone in the office was kind and attentive and I was impressed with their friendliness when I collected my keys.

'Mandatory volunteering' and drastically hiked rent prices make this company one of the worst I have come to known so far. A failure of Katharine Hibbert's vision of an ethical social enterprise. It might as well be a normal property management company that pays normal taxes and at least there won't be forced volunteering.

I have been with DDD as a property guardian for over six years now and am but have recently left due to the company losing their contract with the council. I only recently discovered that they don't do DBS checks on the people they send into your property, and I find that alarming. I had a good relationship with the company until I was unable to find a new place within their eviction timeline as I am awaiting heart surgery. Since then there has been numerous threats of changing the locks, etc., to the point where I have gotten a lawyer. It's too bad, as they were a good company at the start, but have become untrustworthy since their legal troubles started last year. The founder of the company seems to be missing in action since being branded a slumlord, and the Senior "relationship coordinator" has proven to be a bit of a bully. Sad, but I guess all good things come to an end.
