Fantastic job dealing with letting. Made moving into a flat from distance very easy. Polite, responsive, efficient, helpful. Would recommend highly. Interfaced largely with Harriet, whose patience and persistence knows no bounds. Extremely kind and helpful.

I had an outstanding experience with Connells in Dorchester. Both Dawn and Harriet made my moving process incredibly easy and stress-free. I received regular updates on progress, and the systems utilized by Connells were efficient and user-friendly.
Having rented for over 20 years, I can confidently say this has been my best experience to date, thanks largely to the exceptional work and attention to detail provided by Dawn and Harriet. Thank you both for everything!

I obtained 3 quotes from local estate agents and decided on Connells in Dorchester as they appeared good value for money and staff were open and friendly. I utilised their conveyancing team for selling my property and also my future purchase, as I hoped that this would make things easier during the process.
Although all the team were professional, friendly and helpful, I would like to give a special mention to Samantha Bright (Sammy) who was the main agent dealing with the process.
Sammy was always cheerful and positive in her demeanor and kept me informed every step of the way, especially during the unexpected things that can happen during what can be a very stressful process.
I would highly recommend using Connells and would have no hesitation in using them in the future.

Dawn and Harriet worked incredibly hard to match good tenants to my property and to me as a landlord. They managed to get tenants moved in within a few weeks and while some of the “company procedures” are over complicated, Dawn and Harriet more than made up for it. Thanks both, one of the best letting experiences I’ve had in a long time!

Never having used an estate agent before, i wasn't sure what to expect, but needn't have worried, the experience was 5 star all the way.
Lily and the team did an amazing job selling the property, and advised us every step of the way, keeping us up to date, and finding solutions to little niggles on the way.
Lily especially went above and beyond sorting out paperwork, which was a huge help and certainly minimised the stress of moving, which even on an easy sale, cant be underestimated.
Communication was very good, and time was made for the endless questions we fired across, and they were dealt with promptly and professionally.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Connells to anyone moving, and to show our appreciation we even took cakes in for the staff, they deserved it.
Thank you Lily and the team, you were amazing!

Recently bought a property through their services, as a first time buyer, buying a home is very stressful, however Lily and the team here at the Dorchester branch of Connells really did everything they could to reduce my anxieties and stress and I learned a lot through them and this process. Will definitely recommend to my friends if they're thinking of moving into the area

I wanted to share the wonderful experience I had with Cornell's in arranging a rental property that too in a very short time span despite the very limited options in Dorchester. Special thanks to Dawn Tipton and Harriet for this. I was in an Air Bnb as had moved into the Country with my family recently. Dawn worked out of office hours to arrange for the exact property that was in our mind. Everything was done smoothly and she has been supportive throughout my tenancy tenure

This is my 3rd time using Connells, Dorchester as a landlord.
The process of selecting prospective tenants and the following administrative process is very straightforward. should I have and questions or concerns both Dawn and Harriet (Lettings managers) are just a phone call and email away and respond very quickly in a professional manner. Other departments such as the check-out/accounts department are also very helpful if any queries arise.
Highly recommend!

I’ve have been kept up to date on matters in a very timely matter, and she has gone above and beyond to help out with making sure the experience of purchasing has not been stressful, but smooth running and enjoyable.

For your sanity, safety, and financial security, please stay WELL CLEAR of Connells.
Here are some reasons:
1. Dangerous Houses: We rented a house through them for 12 months while the sale of our property is going through and we look to purchase elsewhere. On moving in, we found the boiler to be leaking oil and was unusable - the air was absolutely filled with noxious fumes and we both had blood coming from our noses. Being pregnant, we couldn’t move in for weeks until it was all fixed. We still have not received recompense for this.
2. Incompetent & Threatening: The landlord requested that we change the bank to which we make payments, which we immediately did. Connells then began issuing us with CCJ threats - and would not stop, despite them knowing we were paying our rent. While they eventually apologised, this caused a lot of stress given we were about to embark on a new mortgage and that this would affect our credit rating.
3. Inhumane and breach of covenant of ‘quiet enjoyment’: We have a rental agreement for another six month for this property, however the landlord wishes to sell it.
Needless to say, no one wants to buy the place when there’s an active tenancy for another SIX MONTHS. However, someone has requested to do a viewing next week - on the very day our baby arrives.
Up to now, we’ve said that viewings are possible if pre-arranged (which is not incumbent on a tenant to do and was us being kind), but have always been very clear that September and October were 100% out - this was agreed well in advance with Connells and the landlord.
Tenants pay a lot in rent and part of those terms is a right to ‘quiet enjoyment’ of their property. At no time is this right more sacrosanct than during those first precious months with a newborn, and for me while recovering from major surgery. Personally, I’m not even having my family to visit until November, so to have strangers walking around my home while I’m remembering how to breastfeed, the baby and I are trying to sleep, midwives are changing dressings etc. is filling me with horror and dread. I would have thought in this day and age everyone would understand this.
Both Connells and the landlord originally said ‘of course’ to this stipulation, but now they are going back on their agreement and have said viewings must continue.
So the fact that we are now having to prepare for someone to view our home rather than the arrival of our child gives you a taste of the kind of agency they are! The correspondence we received about it yesterday told me that I need to ‘stay in the bedroom’ in the attic, as if I belong in a Brontë novel, or should somehow feel ashamed of new motherhood.
So, to conclude, if you are thinking to sell with Connells, please think again, their level of competence means I wouldn’t touch them with a barge pole.
If you are thinking of viewing a house with Connells, expect to encounter tearful tenants banished to attics who are in no position to have strangers look around their homes - you will not be welcome!
And, most crucially, if you are looking to rent with Connells, expect dangerous houses, no privacy, breach of agreements, and potential life-long consequences to your financial security!
…And if you might put me down as a ‘chronic moaner’, this is the very first negative review I have ever had to write on Google, so hopefully this conveys the strength of feeling!

We had a great time with Landsea Tours! Our tour guide, Alex, was very knowledge and answered all questions that people had. The experience was great! We went to Stanley Park, Granville, Vancouver Lookout, then headed a little north to the Capilano Suspension Bridge park - absolutely worth it! We went near the end of November, so it was a bit rainy and damp, but it didn’t stop us from having a great experience.

Connells, particularly Robbie, have been fantastic. We went in the market initially with another well known agent in Dorchester. After very few viewings we parted company and we went on with Connells, Robbie got us more viewings in a week than the other agent did in a month!
We have just exchanged after only 6 weeks since accepting an offer.
We’ve been updated regularly, the team is always available and they have worked tirelessly on our behalf to get everything done. Nothing
Robbie is helpful, utterly professional and reliable. He’s made the selling of our house and purchase of another very easy.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Connells and Robbie!

Absolutely fantastic service from the highly professional team at Connells Dorchester led by The manager Lily, right from the get go they were truly professional and delivered everything they had promised from a fast efficient service right to the very end.
One of the team would contact me every week with an update of either potential buyers or reports on people that had viewed my house giving excellent feedback. My house sold very quickly due to the professional canvassing of my property, I personally don’t think I would’ve got the service attention to detail from any other estate agent. I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank each and every member of staff. Thank you

What a team! Our legal support was sadly lacking but the team at Connells fought our cause every step of the way, in particular Robbie Wills, new in the role, but a terrier on our behalf. We eventually completed on the purchase today, only because the team at Connells understood how frustrating it was to buy our forever home and the challenges attached to dealing with a housing agency! We got there - but only because Connells stood fast to support us, very refreshing in this current climate! Cannot recommend them highly enough.

As a couple, that have always been disappointed with the service provided through our own negative experiences with the service received from estate agents, on the numerous occasions that we have moved home.
I can confidently express that you will not be disappointed with the Service from Lily and her team at Connells in Dorchester. The tireless effort, from Lily in particular, chasing solicitors, on both sides, as we sold privately and had no estate agent to act on our behalf. Lily has in the words of our solicitor 'been truly amazing' . Her efficiency is to be commended. No matter what we asked, she not only dealt with it as quick as possible but also made us feel that we were the only customers that she had!
How she has managed to maintain that kind of customer service in these most challenging times, baffles us! I would highly recommend putting your trust in Lily and her team - you will not be disappointed. Please keep up your amazing commitment to making what can be a most stressful time as easy as possible.
Thank you, to all at Connells Dorchester for making our buying experience so much easier.

Just wanted to say a big thank you to Andy for his time this morning, in a difficult position and needing rental prices for a solicitor he took the time to generate a Rightmove report covering the area I was looking for and made me feel at ease. Very professional service and I would definitely recommend.

Andy provided amazing service and went above and beyond to help me through the process of renting a new home. One hundred percent recommend Connells for professionalism, efficiency and support!

I called into Dorchester Connells with no experience of letting a property, the office was inviting and seemed to be a great buzz with sales and Lettings. I was directed to Andy who gave me time and talked me through the lettings journey from start to end. What a great experience and a pleasure it was to speak to someone with so much knowledge of his trade. 5 stars is not enough! Thank you

Anthony was brilliant taking charge to get my sale through and he wasn't even my agent, his client was buying my house, when my agent just kept coming up with more excuses for delays, Anthony got to the bottom of it and got an exchange through within hours, would totally recommend Anthony and Connells Dorchester for a smooth fast sale of your home.

If I could give no stars I would , nick (from lettings in the Dorchester branch )is absolutely awful, I waited 30 minutes outside a property for him to arrive, before being told he couldn't get the keys . I tried rearranging numerous with no luck . Every time I called the office there was whispering and he wouldn't come to the phone . I've never been treated so badly , luckily I found another house . Disgusting behaviour , he shouldn't even have a job in customer service.

I would definitely use Connells again. I am thrilled I have acquired the property I wanted especially with the views of Salisbury Fields. Super stars!

We wanted to thank you and all of your team at Connells for making it happen for us, we are really grateful for all the encouragement, advice and support you’ve given us throughout the process. We would recommend your services to any family or friends looking to make the move. Thank you all once again

Dear Anthony. Thank you very much fo all your help during the viewings at our old home and for literally opening the door to our "forever home". We have a mountain of works and renovations ahead of us, but we are so happy to be here! Very best wishes to you.
Mr M, Dorset MARCH 2019
Dear Lily, thank you so much for all your time and help over the past few months! This has been one of the most stressful things we've had to do but we were always reassured knowing you were there to look after us. You have gone above and beyond keeping us informed and chasing solicitors and we couldn't have been more impressed by your professionalism. Thank you very much for everything. The Connells team are lucky to have you!

We recently purchased our dream home in Dorset. Gareth the Branch Manager was incredibly helpful with advice & helped us over every hurdle we encountered & as we were relocatiing to the area Gareth''s knowledge & expertise were invaluab;e to us. The staff at this branch were very polite & helpful too. I would have no hesitation in recommending this branch of Connells.
Miss W, Dorset NOVEMBER 2018
A note to express my appreciation for all the work undertaken by Connells staff, particularly Anthony, Harvey & previously Clare in the marketing of our house.Issues have been dealt with professionally and with understanding and I am extremely grateful for that. With all good wishes for a successful future business in these difficult financial times
Mr N, Dorset SEPTEMBER 2018
As a property investor I have a detached house, in the centre of Dorchester which I fully renovated throughout to either sell or rent so I set up a full day of estate agents to come round, I asked for someone from sales and someone from lettings from each agency. 6 agencies came. The Connells team shone, they stood out. Clare Cross came for sales and Michelle Brown for Lettings. They both gave equally good presentations at the house they were confident and highly professional.
Ms C, Hampshire JUNE 2018
I have known Gareth professionally for more than 5 years and have always found his advice and local property knowledge to be of an extremely high standard. He maintains absolute professionalism throughout the property buying or selling process and is a pleasure to deal with.
Mr & Mrs K, Dorset JUNE 2018
We approached Gareth through a personal recommendation to act for us as an estate agent and quickly instructed him following our first meeting. The sale didn't go according to plan but everytime there was a setback Gareth's focus only increased, his attention to customer care was commendable. We ended up selling our house for well above the home report value which is very rare these days.Throughout the whole process Gareth was attentive, meticulous and professional.

A helpful and friendly team who went above and beyond to help me find my first home. I was added to their home finder service and they soon found me a property in the area I had requested! Highly recommend, would definitely use them again.

Very unhappy with this company ( Dorchester Office) , took over a week to be able to view a property , then found not only the decoration was totally different and poor compared to the photographs online , but a main selling point stated of a "Open Fire" was told it was decoration only .

I am very very impressed. As a property investor I have an executive 4/5 bed detached house with a detached double garage , in the best central location there is in the centre of Dorchester in Dorset which has been fully renovated to a new standard throughout to either sell or rent I set up a full day of estate agents to come round , I asked for someone from sales and someone from lettings to come from each agency. 6 agencies came. The Connells team shone , they stood out. Clare Cross came for sales and Michelle Brown for Lettings. They both gave equally good presentations at the house they were confident and highly professional. As a property investor I am very used to dealing with estate agents and out of the six agencies that came that day as I said the Connells team stood out. Plus I’ve had occasion to call the office and both Harvey Rawlings and Anthony Calleja were Very professional and very enthusiastic . None of the other estate agents offices where as good/ enthusiastic. Nothing was too much trouble ???????????????? very well Done Connells Dorchester Dorset.

Shane was generally useless, possessing limited communication skills or good manners. Whenever we ‘phoned queries could not be answered and ‘they will get right back to us when in the office’. On one of these ‘calls we were stood outside the branch looking at the person we wanted to speak too biting his nails (class!), yet were informed he was out on a viewing.
Avoid this bunch.

Recently bought and sold through Connells in dorchester and was thrilled with the service I received. Had an offer on my house £9000 above what the 2 other agents I had out valued it for and it was chased through by the whole team from start to finish!! Very professional and would recommend (already have) to anyone!

I have called to view 2 properties twice now and no one has bothered to get back to me. I wouldn't sell with these estate agents knowing this.

Please see below some of our recent customer testimonials
We would like to thank you for all the help and support you gave us in selling our house, after having it on with another agent for 18 months without success you were able to sell ours after changing to Connells within 6 weeks. We are so grateful to you, you were always there for me if I was unsure of anything, it was never any bother, you always helped me.
