Alistair Maclean was very helpful!

I recently worked with Alistair Maclean of Dexters in a complex leasehold sale (the client's previous solicitors had failed to registered documents from 2001). Locating and obtaining the unregistered documents, getting consent from the freeholder's new lender, and registering those documents with HM Land Registry took several months. During this time the buyer had three changes of solicitor due to staff leaving. Alistair did an excellent job of managing all parties' emotions and moving matters forward to enable us to successfully complete the transaction.

Must read, very bad experience

Very bad experience with Dexters.Previously I have rented property from small letting agency, and I can say they were Perfect. It is not the story if choose to rent from "trusted" Dexters CRICKLEWOOD.I collected keys of 5th of December, went to the house - entry doors was wide opened, no one locked the doors after their last visit.After I noticed that the house was not professionally cleaned. Kitchen tiles greasy, cooker hood with very big layer of old oil. Tiles behind sink had still dry food leftovers stucked in the tiles. Kitchen cupboards dirty and oily. Floors wasn't washed and 5 minutes after walking with my socks, our socks was black.I did request that carpet would be changed, on this they said it will be professionally cleaned.Carpet was filty and stinky, like a dog and poo, because previous tenants had a dog and they rented this place over 4 years so you can imagine state of this carpet.I have 2 small children, 3 and 2, after them crawling on the stairs, there little hands and feet are dirty (literally black) and stinky. It is very dangerous to have this carpet in the house, it is full with germs and parasites.In an agreement it was stating that bathrooms sink unit will be changed, because it is rotten. On my arrival on 5th of December I found the new unit in standing in the house still in the original packaging. Rotten furniture is still attached to the sink. And I noticed that this sinks pipe is blocked, it stinks like mould and it is visible that something is inside this pipe.All windows are covered with mould. They have left inside washing machine - stinks as mould and I checked under washing machine, all parts are rotten and covered with mould.We disconnected washing machine and brought it outside of the house, because smell that was coming from it and pipes inside house (all with black mould) was smelling so bad, that it gave as allergy and headache and we was not able to use this bathroom and bedroom.Also this house came unfurnished, however, they have left some furniture inside, which is all covered with mould and stinks musty. I have asked to be removed all of the mouldy furniture, but it hasn't been done. I CANNOT unpack for 17 days, because kitchen smells rotten, because rotten furniture is still in the house and I cannot put my own. ( i am in risk to destroy my own furniture, Because this house stinks really bad)Oven doors is not shutting properly.Electricity plugs and Internet cable - covered with rust.Some Electricity plus giving electric noise - very dangerous.Working light bulb cables - burned, nearly causing problem of fire.One of the bedrooms windows are locked and key was not provided, windows cannot be opened.Garage keys was not provided, when I asked - they probably don't have it, they said, but they couldn't update when the keys will be provided.Kitchen - all cupboards smells rotten, I cannot keep any food in the kitchen cupboard, because this house has a serious problem with damp, I am not sure if roof is leaking, but kitchen shelfs are not usable. We have been heating up this property, windows wide opened and dehumidifier is working 24/7 but it doesn't help the smell and all our clothes stinks musty and damp.I have asked to to fix all of that, rotten and mouldy furniture to removed.Behind dish washer - rotten smell is coming out, i am sure if I would see back of the kitchen unit - it would all be covered with mould.It is unsafe to be in this property and maintenance have to happen asap.There are more problems with the property, I will make a video and post it in YouTube, tik tok and instagram, so you can see what Dexter is allowing to their tenants.Will add links later under this review.I have complained about it straight away, all is written in our emails. It has been 17 days since we moved in, and nothing has been fixed or changed !Petros (greek man) is a person I would have to make a complains about the property. Yes, his manner and speaking politely is great, he has been doing this job for 15 years, there is no problem to train yourself to speak politely.But he have not resolved ANY of the problems.Always replying - no problem, I will speak with my manager about it, and every time I get to hold on him - his answer is the same.He is not replying to my emails.I have called to the office and asked to speak to him 17 times over 17 days, only 5 of my calles was answered, the rest of the time - he was busy, or in meeting ( which doesn't sounds true to me)Christmas is coming and Dexter have left us with all of the problems.I have spent so much of my time and energy. I thought it would be happy move in.Our rent is over 3000 per month and also they wanted us to sign the contract for 3 years ( no break clause)I have so much stress to be in such an unsafe property like this, I have small children and this is dangerous property to be in.

Service Review

Dexter has been managing my property for several years and I always received rent within reasonable time. However, I encountered a problem with this recently where the property manager insisted that the rent has been paid to me although the statement was not sent. I pointed out that no fund reached my bank account on several occasions. She failed to understand that the statement went hand in hand with rent payment, This went on for a few days. Eventually I called Property Management team and spoke to Gabija Pabalyte. She knew the problem immediately and was able to resolve the non-payment issue with the Account Payable team immediately. I received the remittance the next working day. Full mark to Gabija Pabalyte.

Great Work from Khadija!

As a first-year landlord spending half the year abroad, I was prepared for many blood pressure-spiking moments. But Khadija completely transformed my expectations. Her incredible responsiveness and reliability made being a landlord surprisingly effortless. Whenever unexpected situations arise, she handles them with remarkable professionalism. What truly sets her apart is how she maintains an excellent relationship with the tenant, ensuring smooth and clear communication at all times. Thanks to Khadija, what I feared would be a nerve-wracking experience has become stress-free. I can focus entirely on my own work without worrying about my property. What else could you ask for from a property manager?To Khadija and Dexter Tower Bridge team: My landlord experience has been enjoyable so far. Thank you for your service throughout the past year. You are absolute professionals.

A horrible experience

A horrible experience. Dexters arranged a viewing for us at the property when the previous tenant’s furniture was still in the flat. There was serious damp damage on the wall linings behind that furniture. They did not disclose this even though they were aware of a serious leak in the building and then failed to acknowledge their gross marketing practice. We made an offer. On the first day of our tenancy we discovered the damp on the walls, faulty electrics, faulty heating units and mold on the window blinds. Beware of trusting them

Very happy with the service received from George at Dexters. George is very prompt to respond and handled the letting process very well for us including arranging several viewings at very short notice, and also ensured that we got the house we wanted. Had a rather good experience dealing with Dexters in general as well.

The Dream Team

Before appointing Dexters to rent out the property I checked with both landlords and tenants who had experienced Dexters’ services - the reports were good so I went ahead.I have to say the Surbiton office and other departments involved have been nothing short of amazing.In particular Connor Rowan, together with Victoria Nugent, Annie Buckland, Codie Haddon, Hope Jones and Tom Lelyveld.All have gone above and beyond to support someone new to renting out a home and who knew nothing.Connor especially managed to do the impossible by retrieving documents that unexpectedly needed by the bank, clambering into the attic and extracting them with outmost efficiency.Having Dexters on my side has been a huge relief and negated worry about the whole procedure.The only comment I would make is that sometimes internal computer networks don’t always work but generally a few emails and the problem is overcome.Thank you team - you’re doing a great job!

Great customer service!

I moved into my new property on the 20th December 2022, just before Christmas which is a hectic time for everybody! However, with the assistance of Dexters (especially Bill) they have made my move very smooth and hassle free. Bill has been nothing but helpful, proactive and attentive. He has gone above and beyond to answer all of my questions and always gets back to me when he says he will (a lot of people don’t!). Bill has (and will continue to I’m sure) provided me with excellent customer service.

Our experience with Dexters has been exceptional. We've been with them for eight months, and they have consistently been responsive and helpful. From the beginning, Monika has been incredibly supportive, efficiently managing communication between us and the landlord and promptly addressing any issues. Her dedication and professionalism have made our experience with Dexters genuinely outstanding.

Dexters Dartmouth Park

We hired Dexters (Dartmouth Park) to market and sell our property in July 2022 and unfortunately our experience has not been to the same five-star standard that others have had. Unfortunately, our property remains unsold, we feel like we've had five months of wasted time in trying to sell our property and are the best part of £700 out of pocket as a result of their poor advice. When Dexters made their original pitch to market the property, we were really impressed with everything that George and the team had to say. One of the main 'selling points' for us was the promise that there would be weekly feedback, that they knew the area and would have little problem selling the property given they had sold other properties in and around our area. However, our experience was not what was sold to us. At first, there were a number of viewings booked in and this seemed very promising. In order to make things as easy as possible for the team, we agreed to give them a set of spare keys, so that they could more easily conduct viewings without needing either of us there to let them in. However, on the literal first viewing where they could use our spare keys, Lia lost one of them. Thankfully for us it was easily found and we were able to avert the need for locksmiths or anything particularly problematic happening. But from that point, we felt like we could no longer trust Dexters with a set of keys. It felt like they were careless with them and that we could not risk them leaving our home vulnerable after a viewing. As a result of this, we asked that Dexters only arrange viewings that we could let them in for. That provides important context for what we believe was one of the main issues that we experienced with Dexters, incredibly poor (and unsatisfactory) communications. Earlier in this review I mentioned that we were promised weekly feedback calls, after the first couple of months these just seemed to stop. Obviously as viewings began to become more infrequent, so did the weekly feedback calls. On more than one occasion we would have to contact the team in order to ask for feedback or an update on what they had planned next. In addition to this, as a result of the issue of the lost keys, we informed Dexters of dates and times when viewings would not be possible (for instance due to work commitments). The number of times this was seemingly ignored and viewings were booked in at times that would not work meant we felt like we were talking to a brick wall. Whenever we fed this back the response was 'sorry, we are busy'. I'd normally accept this, however it ignored the fact that by this point we were having to manage their calendars for viewings on top of our own work and personal lives. When you are paying for a service, this kind of poor management and miscommunication is just unacceptable. The final point I would like to highlight as part of this review is the terrible advice that we received, which as mentioned has left us £700 out of pocket, which given the cost of living crisis would have been useful to still have in our bank accounts. At the start of the marketing period we were informed by Raphael to purchase a pack from our local council that would help when a buyer was found. He had noted that in his experience there were delays with getting them and it could impact our sale. So, given that he and the team were the experts, we bought the pack for £200. However, we did not experience a delay and received our pack within the Council's service level agreement. Only upon reviewing the contents of the pack did we find out it would only be valid for six months. So, that will expire in February and we will need to purchase another one when a buyer (with a new agency) is eventually found. In addition to this, we were advised to bring a conveyancer and solicitor on board to get things moving there. Again, we took the advice and spent £500 on instructing a firm to take on the sale. Again, money lost given we are still without a buyer. On top of this, their advice around the pricing of our property was incredibly poor. We were initially given a price that was too high and wasn't getting people through the door, so we agreed to lower it. After about four weeks of the property being on the market, we were advised that we should adopt a strategy they've used with other properties where they would lower the price and use this to get a number of viewings to hopefully lead to an offer. Again, we agreed to lower the price and take their advice. Whilst they did get a few more viewings, it did not lead to any offers or significant number of second viewings. I'm unfortunately bound by a character limit as I could write more. But we received no offers, had two second viewings and feel like five months has been wasted in our attempt to sell. They need to improve their communication standards and how they advise clients.

Professional Service

Donalina Gargrupe is my point of contact as a property manager for the place that I rented via Dexters. I had previously rented from Dexters but Donalina’s service level is beyond my expectations. She’s responsive and helped me follow up closely for issues that I identified for a house that I newly moved in. For any issue I raised I’m confident that she will help me get it resolved.

I can’t recommend Maria, Olivia and the team at Dexters highly enough. After having the house on the market with Strike for three months with only one viewing and no support it was a dream dealing with Dexters. Within a couple of days they had 10+ viewings booked in and sold the house shortly after. They had a professional, dynamic approach and kept me well informed at all times.
