Dishonest and a complete waste of time

Phoned to enquire about 4 different properties listed on their website. All 4 have apparently "recently accepted offers" despite none of them being listed as "under offer" on Dexter's website.Megan told me the sellers asked them to keep the properties as avaialble in case their agreed upon sales fell through. As a buyer, it is a complete waste of my time looking at properties that aren't actually available and that have already been sold. How am I meant to work with an agency that displays a complete lack of regard for its clients or their time?Buying a home is usually a significant decision in the purchasers life. Being dishonest from the outset is not a good way of establishing trust and this makes it almost impossible to use Dexters for my property search. I would advise sellers to bear that in mind when making the decision about who they want representing them and the buyers they are potentially losing out on as a result.I'm am sure that Megan is an excellent agent and I hope that one day she wakes up to the unscrupulous practices Dexter's employ and recognises that these are actually detrimental to hers and her clients relationships and (as a result) her long-term interests.

NOT HELPFUL

Dexters took my flat in march.Despite good Communication weekly they failed to gain any offers.Their strategy seems to be , for you to keep reducing the price.I appreciate the market is tough but to get a call saying we do not want to sell this flat anymore left me flabbergasted.Clearly must look bad on their stats!They have removed my listing without any notice period at all.Such poor service from an agents that claims to be one of the best.Poor customer show from George and the team at the twickenham sales office.

Q2 HR Solutions (QQI)

More than ten of us were made redundant by this company. We previously worked for Howsy until it was acquired by Dexters, and we were fortunate and grateful that Dexters absorbed us after the acquisition. We have been working for them under Q2 HR Solutions (QQI) in the Philippines. However, at the beginning of June, Dexters decided to discontinue outsourcing work offshore, resulting in our redundancy.The issue is that Q2 HR Solutions (QQI) has not yet provided us with our final pay, which exceeds the time limit allowed by labor laws in the Philippines. Most of us have worked for the company for over four years, dedicating our time and working hard. Based on the information we have gathered, the delay is on Dexters' part, as Q2 HR Solutions is waiting for their approval to honor our tenure. We are simply requesting what we rightfully deserve as mandated by Philippine labor law.Kindly expedite Q2 HR Solutions (QQI) release of our final pay, as it has already exceeded the timeframe permitted by Philippine labor law. Despite our patience, our queries and concerns have been ignored. We believe it is time to resolve this matter promptly.

Thank you Alistair Maclean

I am a commercial property solicitor and usually have no time to leave reviews! However, in this case and on a busy Friday morning I have the pleasure of writing this review for Alistair Maclean at Dexters. Great agent! Assisted in progressing the sale for my client, in a professional and courteous manner. Kept communication open and pleasant. Chased otherside (buyer's solicitor) when needed to. I would recommend Alistair and look forward to working with him again in the near future.

Monika Piszczyk handled the replacement…

Monika Piszczyk handled the replacement of the boiler in my flat which is being rented out. From the outset, Monika was extremely professional and also had a very affable way about her which made the whole process, which could have been very stressful, manageable. Monika definitely gave me a "sleep easy" factor as I felt very assured that this big and costly project was in good hands. Furthermore, Monika dealt with a post-completion error quickly and with minimal fuss which really sealed it for me.

Years of mould issues finally sorted

We have been renting our current property for almost 5 years and have had mould issues since the beginning of our tenancy. It was not until Monika Piszczyk took over the management of our property, did we finally get our severe mould issues sorted. Monika, with her determination and hard work, managed to get our landlord to finally agree to put in the money to install proper ventilation, get mould treatment and redecoration done. She saw through the whole process and made sure things were done well. Thank you Monika for fighting for our rights to live in a safe and comfortable home.

Alice Simpson is not to be trusted at Dexters. I sent my holding deposit which is meant to remove a property from being seen and allow me time to sign a tenancy contract. Then she hides behind her manager who calls me to let me know the flat was actually sold however they didn’t even have the decency to let me know that it was even for sale. Now three weeks later I am receiving emails from Dexters about my “upcoming move” to which I’ve emailed and called about asking to stop and have not even received a response from Alice. Everything about this process has been unethical and completely unprofessional.

Very happy with Dexters

We rented a property with Dexters a month ago. The process was very smooth and quick. We’ve now settled in and Dominic Glover has been very helpful in resolving all the issues faced when first moving in. Dominic is extremely proactive and a great problem solver. We hope this level of support remains for the full length of our contract, but from what we’ve seen so far, we are very satisfied. Thanks so much Dominic!

Great service from Olivier!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Olivier to renew my lease, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Olivier was incredibly proactive, ensuring that everything was handled efficiently and that I secured the best deal that perfectly suits my current situation. His extensive knowledge and honesty throughout the process were truly refreshing. If you’re looking for an estate agent who genuinely has your best interests at heart, I highly recommend Olivier!

Excellent Property Management Service

I am very happy with the property management service provided by Dexter and I would like to give a special shout out to the Senior Property Manager, Petros Giorganios. There was an appliance broken in my apartment and needed repair service. Throughout the process, Petros followed up my case closely, give me clear instructions and options on what I could do/choose to get repair done. He would give me phone calls to clarify and explain the situation, like how I should arrange parking space in my property estate and make sure I got it right. During the phone call, he is very polite and explain things to me patiently.

Excellent work George Calderara and Isabelle Strack

My self and my husband had made the decision to value our property by 3/4 local estate agents. By far Dexter’s was the best so professional and I knew at that stage I wanted to instruct with them. George at the Hendon branch and Isabell were the two individuals we had the pleasure of dealing with. As much as I didn’t enjoy the process of selling and buying they could not have done any more to be supportive and professional. It’s a very emotional process and takes time and patience but like I said they were very professional, kind, patient and always there for a chat. Well done Dexters. Thank you George and Isabelle for everything. Trust them they will deliver and you will be impressed with them.

Louisa was incredible! The rental market can be overwhelming but Louisa made it as seamless as possible. She listened to what we wanted and showed us really great properties. I wish I had met her sooner in the search process! As for the application and getting approvals in order, Louisa was incredibly attentive and made sure everything was completed swiftly. I couldn't recommend Louisa and Dexters highly enough. I have already passed on her information to a friend for their future search.

I had raised few issues with my rental flat, Carl Tettey was extremely helpful and followed up with me on a weekly basis and provided update and assured me all issues will be resolved. He was very caring and he does actually care about the tenants. Carl is easy and friendly and he is quick to respond and easy to talk you. I'm grateful to him for sorting all issues out with the property in a timely manner. Thanks Carl. You deserve the 5 star!

Hendon property

We have been with Dextors for a few years since they took over Douglas Martin's and to be honest, initially it was very difficult as there didn't appear to be clear lines of communication, with various names being involved.However more recently, Monika has been front and centre for all of our enquiries, complaints and coounication in general and things have improved greatly.I look forward to hopefully giving 5 stars this time next year.

First tenancy experience

First of all I have no previous experience to compare with but I as per my opinion Dexters really tries to provide good service. There are minuses and pluses, but in general I have a good opinion about this company.I was checking in my apartment but it was not clean at all. Dexters could manage cleaning service of the carpets on the 24 of Dec right before Christmas.But after check in I have been receiving a good assistance from Property Management as well as Maintenance teams.Many thanks to Jada Palmer for her willingness to help, address the issues and quick communication with the owner of apartment.

Need a home? Dexter's will help

Dexter's have patience, perseverance, andPanache. I found interacting with them very easy and they were clear and helpful all the time. Tyanna is fantastic! So willing to help and was answering my questions before I'd thought of them! Great sales style, not pressured but clearly wanting to ensure it's the right fit. I felt in confident Dexter's. They have excellent properties on the books and all 3 staff members had great personality and a willingness to help. Easy to contact, kind and know their stuff

High quality property management from Donalina Gargrupe

I have worked with Donalina Gargrupe, who has been an excellent property manager. I really like the fact that she has always consulted me quickly about any problems that arise in a calm and professional manner, as well as making sure I get reasonably priced quotes for work that needs doing. I have appreciated her advice and feel she has helped me to be a good landlord. I have not always had the communication I want from property managers in the past and wish there were more like Donalina!
