Joel is the best estate agent I've ever come across. No question. When I last sold a house he liaised between buyer and seller and both solicitors. I have no doubt that he sped the sale up and made it much smoother than it would have been.... Read more

My son Reuben Constantine and I had a really positive experience with Dickenson & Bowden and specifically with Joel, who went out of his way to be helpful to us when we were looking for a flat for Reuben who will soon be relocating to Dorchester. We were very impressed with Joel’s commitment to helping us-something that went far beyond all the other estate agents we contacted. This time we were unfortunately unable to take the flat that was shown to us because we simultaneously received an offer of alternative accommodation but we will not hesitate to return to Joel at Dickenson and Bowden when we need to look for a rental property next year. I would give him 10/10 for service-thank you Joel.... Read more

I called in with my mum just as they were closing, but a very kind gentleman called Joel offered to stay late and take our details. I’m an 18 year old student moving to Dorchester to work in DCH (hospital) and it was proving extremely difficult to find suitable accommodation, especially since we currently live in Shropshire (5 hours’ drive away). Amazingly I received a call the very next day regarding a property which they offered me and essentially set aside for me, providing me with many photographs and even a video call tour of the flat provided by a lady called Dawn. The flat was extremely clean, light and modern and would have been perfect.
At this time however I was actually offered hospital accommodation which will give me more of a ‘student experience’ so I ended up turning down the flat, but want to say what a great experience we had with this estate agent: easily the most helpful and polite staff out of all the ones we spoke to in the area....

Joel will restore your faith in estate agents. He’s without a doubt the best agent I’ve ever come across. He’s meticulous and dedicated. He’s personable and switched on. He stayed motivated in the face of obvious frustration. I didn’t regret that we chose Dickinson Bowden to sell the house.... Read more

Dickinson Bowden really do set themselves apart from other estate agents I have dealt with.
From the moment we looked at the property, Mark really couldn't do enough for us.
It wasn't the most straight forward of purchases either, with my family and I moving from Birmingham and the vendors based in other countries.
But this didn't put Mark or Joel off. Whether it be chasing people in different timezones, probate lawyers, or the usual suspects (conveyancers etc), or just going that step extra to make my life easier whilst I was a 200 mile drive away.
Would recommend to anyone looking to sell/buy in the Dorset area.
Thank you Mark, Joel and the team!... Read more

Very impressed all around with Dickinson Bowden.
From the moment we asked to see the property all the way to exchange, we were helped quickly, advised and responded to at every query. I never had any problems speaking with Joel and he always returned my emails quickly.
From the word go, Joel and the team tirelessly chased the sale with all the solicitors. That notion of 'going above and beyond' really does apply to Dickinson Bowden. Joel was more or less in constant communication with me and the solicitors involved. He even chased up and kept me in the loop on the sale of my own house, which my own estate agents largely failed to do.
Joel and the team offered a lot of free advice that really helped in the process. It's clear they have a lot of knowledge and you genuinely feel like they're looking after you.
My only regret was not selling my property through them!... Read more

We were more than happy with the service from Dickinson Bowden! Mark was the estate agent who showed us around our first beautiful house we looked round and that is the house we have now exchanged on and can't wait to move in to as our new family of three! Thankyou also to Joel for helping answer all our questions. We would highly recommend this estate agents. Excellent quick service. Thank you again . Victoria, lucas and hunter x... Read more

We first contacted Dickinson Bowden about our new home and, because we were coming rather a distance to view, they wanted to be sure we knew about potential major issues, which was good. We knew there wasn't going to be something nasty to put us off when we got here.
Lucy saw us first to show us around. We decided to buy immediately but waited a few days to be sure. The next time we saw the property Joel. showed us around. Joel was our main contact throughout the purchase.
I have to say that the company that we used to sell our old house were excellent. I thought their communication was spot on. Joel, however, was a notch above them. He rang regularly to be sure we knew what was going on. He made brilliant efforts to find out silly details for me from the vendor (such as what type of locks were on windows and doors and measurements that I'd got wrong when I went to measure up).
If I were buying or selling in this area again I'd use Dickinson Bowden without hesitation. They're really good.... Read more
