Utter incompetence, no shame, shocking lies in written correspondence

Edit: Below reply from Dexters perfectly illustrates everything I state below as I have already emailed that very exact email address and they confirmed receiving my formal complaint but here of course say that they cannot locate me. Classic Dexters.Original review:For 4 years renting through Dexters and despite multiple poor experiences over the years where things are mixed up, forgotten, incorrectly submitted, referred etc, by far the most despicable act was recent when they lied to me in written email correspondence, claiming to be negotiating on behalf of my landlord for a 31% increase in rent. Turned out my landlord never asked for this and never instructed them to do this or wanted any such increase. So I guess they were counting on us not talking to eachother hoping that I would decline the increase move out and they get fees to get someone new. Separate to this at least 10 other cases where all branches of dexters from maintenance to admin have failed to follow the simplest and clearest of instructions which cost time and money of both me as tenant as well as the landlord.

Great service again

This is the second time I gave a review to this company. Same good service as my previous review. I would like to give a shoutout to the Senior Property Manager, Petros Giorganios, who promptly helped me to fix my apartment closet after a phone to him. The issue was fixed after 2 days of the phone call.

Dexters Notting Hill continue the great work

Have posted previous great reviews of Dexters Notting Hill office, but just wanted to say again how well they've worked in finding me my new tenants and giving a me a lot of help sorting out some urgent works which needed completing over the difficult Christmas period. I've found both their Lettings Agents and Management Depts continue to go to great lengths to smooth the way for landlords!

Harassed and threatened by this company. Do not use!

The police are currently investigating my landlord for threatening behaviour and harassment. I have never dealt with or spoken with Dexters company before, yet they emailed me twice, claiming we'd conversed and agreed on a tenancy termination date. This is libellous, we have never spoken in this capacity! They have even issued an invalid eviction notice. I fully intend to add them to the original police report against my landlord and his agent and report them to Property Ombudsman. Trading Standards next!Do not use them!

Louis Preston and Natalie- 10/10

I have had the pleasure of dealing with Dexters property management over the past few years and have been delighted by the service provided by Louis Preston- who is always swift to lend a hand and make me laugh on the phone.In recent months, Louis has introduced me to a new member of his team- Natalie- who has been polite and respectful in my experiences so far.A great experience!

Nice people but they don't do anything…

Nice people but they don't do anything unless you constantly chase them. For example they've owed me money for over 4 months now, every time I chase I get an excuse followed by a statement that it'll happen in X days. It doesn't happen so I chase again, repeat, repeat. Was similar when I was in one of their flats, the first visit for an issue or maintenance would be arranged quickly, then follow ups to actually fix the issue would not happen until I chased them.Pretty disappointing

I have always been pleased with my…

I have always been pleased with my local Douglas Martin in Hendon, but I didn't realise they have been taken over by the large company Dexters. Now it seems to be more about their own performance than customer satisfaction. As a landlord with rising prices I was adamant that I only wanted a fixed priced one year contract, while they kept pushing two years. Not that I am unreasonable and overpriced. But I need the option to slightly raise. Yet somehow I ended up with a two year fixed contract. How? I was travelling with bad WiFi and on the day they sent through the contract to sign I was on a boat and could only click quickly and return. I didn't realise I'd signed for two years! Nor did they tell me until a two year bill arrived. Now I have a tenant who phones regularly about everything and anything and I'm stuck for two years! I spoke to another landlord who was also unhappy as he ended up with two years. They also pushed like mad for extras like management etc. To make matters worse after taking the first month for their fees they hounded me for another £125 threatening a debt collector. Sadly I would not use them again.

not competent, lack law knowledge

I would definitely not recommend Dexters, as their service is terrible and far from respecting the law. The employees seem to lack expertise and knowledge.We have rented out an apartment in Ada Place near Broadway Market. It happened several times when the flat was about to sell, that the agents illegally came to the flat with potential buyers without notifying us in advance, or telling us only a few hours in advance. Once, I have been working from home and the agent came to the flat without 24-hour notice and tried to kick me out of the flat for the time of the viewing. I did not call the police as I couldn't bother because I was busy. Not only did he proceed to the viewing when I was working from home, without our permission, but he shouted at me, and disturbed my normal life and work. Moreover, the place wasn’t maintained by them, as required by law during our tenancy when things were broken or in bad condition like moulds, rusty handles or paint coming out of the wall. Now, when together with my flatmates we moved out from that flat on 19 Dec, as we found a much better place, we still didn't get any deposit back for more than month after moving out. Also, Dexters agent, Fahima Miah doesn't want to provide us with any information about the deposit scheme, which is also illegal.Dealing with Dexters is just such a pain, and if you don't want to be involved in any legal cases, I would recommend you stay far away from them.

Professional Services

David Hughes, Anthony Barnes and Lily in Lettings were exceptional. I am looking for a property to rent and all the above were extremely helpful, professional and reassuring. Thank you so much. I would highly recommend.

Professional and tenacious

Most people think that estate agents take photos of their houses, show a few people round and then sit there and wait for the money to roll in. As an agent of 20 years' experience I can assure you that is not the case. Getting the buyer is the easy part. The hard part is holding a chain together and working with everyone else to get to an exchange. I was recently in a chain with Alistair and, had it not been for his tireless prodding, nudging and cajoling, the sale would not have happened. In estate agency we play the long game so if you want a professional agent use Dexters.
