First class service

I have been letting my properties with Dexters for many years and I can not fault them. In particular Pam Simmons and George Taylor offer a first class service. They are super efficient, very responsive and have an ability to negotiate and solve all problems effortlessly. I would highly recommend them.

An Agency that Really Look After You

When renting there is a lot of reliance on an Estate Agency that actually look out for your best interest, for this reason I am very glad to have Zelda Carr looking after us. I highly recommend Dexters Agency, and particularly Zelda for always being meticulous and efficient with any issues.

Appalling service

Appalling service. Renting a flat in London from Dexters and they have neglected to carry out a mandatory gas/electric safety check to ensure the property is safe. Constant electric blackouts and heating / hot water cut outs. Chairs broken, damp because of inadequate ventilation systems and old windows letting in drafts etc. microwave rusted at the seal - totally unsafe. Blinds broken. Some electrical sockets do not work. No information where the boiler is situated or electric gas meters. Front door locks - only one works and letterbox broken so falls off leaving a gaping whole in the door and draft. Reported Dexters to H&S executive as that might wake them up to their legal responsibilities. Never use Dexters. That’s the message, as it’s bad for your mental and physical health the stress of trying to get them to do anything at pace and with compassion 🥲

Beyond Disappointed with appalling service

I rented a flat through. Dexters Wimbledon from September 2021 to September 2023, following personal recommendation. 

By day 24 after the end of tenancy, there was cause for concern. I had made contact with the agency repeatedly asking for updates, and had been told the landlord would not discuss the return of my deposit until they had received quotes for maintenance issue raised by the new tenants.I raised a dispute with Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS). 

The landlord in response sought to retain all of my deposit for alleged damage.

The TDS adjudicator fairly and reasonably deducted £80 for deterioration beyond wear and tear, but reverted the remaining 95% of my deposit back to me. 

Her conclusions pointed to 
• claims made for alleged damage 
not referenced in 
the checkout report
• amounts sought as “excessive” 
• amounts claimed which would, if 
awarded, have 
placed the landlord in position of
betterment 
• costs claimed for redecoration 
deemed to be
 the landlord’s responsibility. I am aware that my review here should be of Dexters and not the landlord, however the company cannot in my view be absolved of accountability for what I experienced. My one star review is for a contractual system which could allow this to happen. Dexters markets itself as “different”, claims “everything we do will give you an altogether better experience…”, and commits to “always go the extra mile for customers”. As such, it seems reasonable to infer promise of safeguard to tenants looking for fair treatment, and accordingly, to attribute responsibility for things going wrong as robustly as it self awards glowing acclaim for “exceeding its clients’ expectations”.

I would urge would-be tenants to balance Dexter’s marketing claims with rigorous vigilance. I will, going forward, be sure to ask an agent (and this will not be Dexters) for the history of the rental in terms of deposit return, and specifically any referrals to TDS and outcomes (in the same way, as a landlord, I should request corresponding information about tenants’ history with them). I would strongly recommend tenant referral to TDS where neither deposit or associated intentions are issued within reasonable timeframes, or where attempts are made to unreasonably retain deposit. 

The deposit amount is for me not a catastrophic sum to have to wait for, or to have lost in the event of the decision not going in my favour. It would however be much more serious for some people, dependent on return of one rental deposit to secure the next place to live. 

I hope Dexters reflect, and devote as much emphasis to the selection and retention of and communication with landlords as to corresponding efforts with tenants. I would consider this conducive to its claims of excellence in this crowded market space, to ethical professional conduct, and ultimately, to its reputation.

Dexters have been managing my property for 3 years and I’ve always been happy with their service.Special mention to Ricardo who has been very proactive in sorting out an issue with my flat. He acted quickly to address the problem, has kept me informed and solved the problem swiftly and satisfactorily.

I recently used Peter James to sell my flat in the area. They offered a fantastic personal and professional service from the start to the end. They made the selling process relatively easy by arranging viewings straight away and helped me negotiate with the buyer to get it across the line. Maria and her team were very helpful during the completion and especially as it turned out to not be the most straightforward move. They helped by communicating with the other buyers/sellers in the chain and also with the solicitors and estate agents. They also helped keep us sane throughout the process and alleviate some of the stress involved in buying/selling a home. I would certainly recommend using Peter James.

Serigne was both helpful and friendly when they showed us around 3 properties in south London. Having someone who was knowledgeable about the properties we viewed and the process of buying, as well as deeply personable, was incredibly useful for us!

Have recently just rented out our house on the fully managed service with Mark and his team at Peter James. They have all been extremely helpful, efficient and done their utmost to ensure the property was rented out quickly. Mark was always on the end of the phone whenever we needed him, and went above and beyond. Made the whole process extremely easy; would highly recommend!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Hi my name is Sean and my company is complete interiors and have worked for Dexters’s for the last 15 years in the Clapham area. One of my property managers is Tamara Chelsom who I do jobs for and she is great at organising and dealing with the tenants if we have any issues on site. She is always polite and friendly and treats the contractors the same as the employees at dexters, I hope she stays at dexters for a long time ! Best Sean.

Many thanks to Natalie for dealing with and resolving a lettings account query so quickly. Very much appreciated, as was her follow up phone call to ensure that I was happy with the outcome and to check that there were no other issues. Great client service.

Donalina Gargrupe, Property Manager

Donalina is friendly and helpful. Also efficient and prompt. I would go so far as to say she went above and beyond what was required. I've had a long relationship with Dexters, when I had a property to let to tenants. I warmly recommend Donalina and the Dexters team.

Dexters…another third rate estate agent

We have bought and sold a number of properties over the last 30 plus years with differing experiences. None of these have been particularly positive. We hired Dexter’s in London Bridge in April 2024 as they seemed to come across from the outset as if they genuinely seemed to know what they were doing. Being at the top of the chain in central London with no property to buy, the process should have been relatively straightforward. After some initial viewings we received an offer within the first few days although we had noted the complete lack of agent knowledge during the viewing process as we heard the answers provided to viewers over our Ring security cameras. An example: viewer asked how old our 1920’s property was. Answer…late 1960’s, and so on. Basic stuff and quite astonishing !I negotiated the offer with the agent who seemed to think a significantly lower price to the one we had set might have been acceptable. Having made it clear it was not, we accepted pretty much what we were asking for in the first place. I should not have needed to have held that conversation. As is the way in England & Wales a buyer can pull out of the process at any time leading up to exchange. Needless to say that after 6 weeks of engaging with solicitors and getting everything ready, our buyers pulled out of the sale with no reason given. We believe they couldn’t get their mortgage agreed and had not been vetted properly by Dexters. They didn’t agree of course. We accepted another offer 2 weeks later, in June. The buyers had their leasehold property under offer. The next few months were painful to say the least. Our solicitors did all the work and were extremely responsive, going above and beyond chasing the buyers solicitors who in turn chased at the bottom of the chain. The leasehold nature of our buyers property made things needlessly complicated with their buyers solicitors taking an eternity to get anything done. This was not helped by the shockingly poor leasehold management company being involved, L&Q. Our buyers were as equally frustrated as we were, having got everything into place on their side and wanted to be in no later than September as they was expecting their first baby that month. Notwithstanding this, throughout the whole process we were never kept updated by Dexters. We constantly had to chase them and they seemed to have entirely forgotten that we were their clients. Out fixed rate mortgage deal expired during this process resulting in significant additional mortgage cost plus paying double fees to our solicitors due to the first sale falling through. The silence from Dexter’s was appalling. It is high time estate agents were required to be both professionally qualified and licensed. It seemed to us that paying the estate agents (for doing very little) more than 3 times the amount of our solicitors not only grossly unfair but inequitable and nonsensical !Our solicitor did all the work, the agents didn’t appear to give a damn. After more than 6 months from the time our property went on the market, we finally completed in early October and we hope our buyers have recovered from an unnecessarily convoluted and stressful experience. So much for a “straightforward process”. Dexters “client service” was singularly absent. We would not recommend them to anyone.

Haydon from Dexters Blackheath is exemplary in all aspects of his chosen profession. I first met Haydon on a viewing about 6 weeks ago and am so impressed with his customer focus, peronability, professionalism, knowledge and most of all his dedication to both the client and the smooth progress of the sale. If you are looking for a property in the Royal Arsenal or any areas served by a Blackhdath estate agent then look no further than Haydon at Dexters Blackheath. To say outstanding is an understatement and to say asset to both Dexters and the reputation of estate agents in general only just touches the surface.

I always feel looked after with Dexters. I have been with them several years. The care and support is as great today as when I first worked with them. Truly. Their care is industry leading in my opinion, having used other estate agents before.Thank you to Mark Wiltshire and to Mariya Rizova in Tenancy Management.

Great experience with Dexters

We have recently used Dexters to find out next home and have had an offer agreed. Alice was our main point of contact and she showed us a few lovely places and helped us find the perfect home for us. We have had some bad experiences over the last couple of years with other agents and found Alice's honest and informative style a breath of fresh air.

Recently moved out of a Dexters property - very satisfied

I recently came off a lease contract for a property managed by Dexters. In the UK, the service you get as a renter is oftentimes sub-par, however, Dexters in my experience is a remarkable exception. Even though I was "just" a renter of a relatively low-cost property, I was treated respectfully by Dexters staff, and if there were disagreements, i.e. when it came to the deposit reimbursement, they did everything to resolve the issue quickly and satisfactory. I want to especially mention Monika, who was my primary contact for property management, and Paul, who was the letting agent. Both did their utmost to make the often unpleasant realities of renting in London much more enjoyable.
