Great service from Vanessa at Acton Dexters

I had a very positive experience working with Vanessa, a property manager at the Acton branch of Dexters who efficiently organized contractors for my flat. Communication with Vanessa was excellent as she promptly addressed my questions and concerns, and kept me informed of progress. She also handled a tenant issue successfully in a timely and diplomatic manner.Based on my experience, I would recommend Vanessa at Dexters for her competence in contractor management and tenant issues.

Jude was our agent when trying to find a flat in Islington. He was incredibly accommodating, he listened to our requests and took us to viewings that were exactly what we were after and listened to all of our concerns, and then helped us make the best offer. We finally went ahead with a different property for other reasons, but we will be coming back to Dexters for our next move!

Always ask for Nadia, she’s a star.

Always ask for Nadia, words cannot describe her tenacity in securing your dream property. After having to deal with a bunch of bumbling agents for months on end and getting nowhere, dealing with Nadia was a breath of fresh air. She was on the ball from day 1, she literally got me, the perfect flat in 3 days of our first conversation. 10 min walk from bank station, unheard off. She’s absolutely brilliant. She even put in so much time after hours to make sure things run smoothly, she was unbelievably helpful, charismatic, and just genuinely stunning all round. Definitely recommend.

Waste of Time

I was looking for a flat to rent through Dexter. Even the agent has already got my account number for holding deposit and asked me to fill out an application, they still arrange viewings and turn the offer into a game of blind bidding. Unless you have endless time and unlimited budget, property search with Dexter is a waste if time.

WOW I can't tell you how good Andrew Stavrou is at Dexters East Dukwich. Ultimate professional, keeps informed (most important) and selects clients who match expensive properties with the perfect client ! Cannot fault the research and the friendly professional enthusiasm which resulted in a sale that no other Estate Agent could achieve on our behalf. Would highly recommend him and Dexters should be proud to have him !!

My partner and I recently moved from Australia and had felt very daunted and overwhelmed with our property search that was until we met Jude. Jude was so knowledgeable and had endless amounts of helpful advice to share with us. He supported us throughout the entire process to secure an offer on our dream rental. He was very communicative, responsive, approachable and made us feel comfortable throughout it all. I cannot recommend Jude enough as an agent.

The overall experience is not good

The overall experience of dealing with Dexters estate agents is not very pleasant. I was looking for a new apartment to rent and after viewing the property sent in my offer on the apartment. First of all, I do not understand why they need my card details straight away - even when there is no certainty about which of the offers the landlord would choose. In my experience, it is not needed when dealing with other estate agents, up until the point your offer is accepted. What is more, I was not very pleased to receive phone calls asking whether I would want to offer more money for the property and confirming whether my reply is indeed "my best and final offer". Thirdly, never hearing back from the agents as to the landlords decision and just having to guess that since no one had bothered reaching out it meant I did not get the apartment. Overall experience is quite poor. There is definitely a sense of them trying to get the most out of you and not bothering to provide good service.Now that I have guessed that my offer was not successful, I am even more unhappy about the fact that they still keep my card details for no reason whatsoever.

Review for Monika Piszczyk, Property Manager

Even though Dextors was aware of several fixtures requiring repair for the past few years, the situation changed when Monika Piszczyk, the Property Manager, took charge. Thanks to her exceptional communication and understanding, we have now made progress in addressing these issues. I am thankful for her dedication and support in helping me to maintain the apartment that I cherish living in.

Thank you Monica

The inspection of my flat was carried out by Monica Piszczyk. I was impressed by her professionalism, which she matched with due understanding for long tenure, I have been in my flat for what will be 20 years in November and past experience has not always been as positive. The only issue I reported was dealt with swiftly and with complete satisfaction.

Great Agent

Just wanna say Archie from Dexter surbiton has been very patient and helpful in all ways possible. My mum is registered blind and some agents have given us properties hard to access .Archie has been nothing but supportive. He takes his time to explain why and how you have to go through certain procedures. Communication level is 10/10 .

Thanks to Anthony Grundy for excellent support

I want to thank Anthony Grundy for the excellent property management support he has given me as a landlord. Anthony is meticulous in paying attention to the details of property management, which can be quite complex in the modern era with all the regulation that surrounds lettings these days. He has the experience to anticipate potential problems and pre-empt them so that things run smoothly. On top of that, he is patient in carefully explaining the ins and outs of a particular situation, and why a certain course of action is advantageous. I would certainly recommend him, and Dexter's more generally, to anyone who is seeking help and support with letting their property.

Carl is assisting us with the refurbishment of our property and has been good to deal with. He is always on the end of the phone and if missed he responds in a timely manner. Carl has been really helpful in arranging quotes and contractors. He is always happy to help and a pleasure to deal with. Thank you.

Bad Service

We got assigned to Sam after Hadrick gave us a favourable decision from the Lanlord and left the organisation, then it went downhill from there. Sam was hard to reach and would give conflicting information. We went through a thorough reference check. For about a month we went through the rigorous checks and according to Sam, all references checked out. He said it was due to finances. We gave more information and proof of adequate funds and offered to pay 3 to 6 months rent in advance. We were honest and forthright, then he came back to say that the Landlord said no. We don’t know what game they were playing but it would have been nice if Dexters had told us from the beginning that they wouldn’t give us instead of stringing us along for a month. I found Sam most unhelpful as he seemed to always not know or wasn't sure or he would quote the wrong figures which were quite demoralising as these are very serious issues. At first Landlord said no, then he said yes then he said no again. What really happened? We were treated so unfairly. This flat was for my elderly mum but this has caused her emotional turmoil. Piece of advice - be forthright from the beginning and no one would feel bad. It really shouldn’t have gone that far knowing it wouldn’t be favourable to us after being told 'yes' for one month. We had a credible guarantor whom you asked to produce another guarantor. What then is the point of getting a credible guarantor? Just be honest and don’t trick people. You gave us false hope and kept us waiting :(

I have been with Dexters Estate Agents for the past 6 years, Myra and her team have been extremely helpful and very very professional in dealing with tenants on our behalf, I have not had any issues with agents or tenants so far, they are quick to resolve any problems with the property using only the best service providers on my behalf, I recommend Dexters if you are looking for a stress free property management agentsKamran

Horrible after service. Amazing sell at the start

The estate agents had done a great job of getting me convinced that it would be an amazing experience. All was fine till I rented my property. The property manager they assigned me was horrible - Lee Porter. The tenants had issues with heating and they complained to the estate agents and they did nothing for 5 days including telling me. I had to jump in to help even when I was paying them an arm and a leg so I don’t get bothered. Third, even after written communication that I checkin and checkout fee was a total of 288£ they charged me 144£ extra and just said it was a miscommunication at their end. And not even an apology for the miscommunication. Third - and the worst - after the tenants left, the property was in a horrible shape. No cleaning done. And the property manager kept saying this is domestically cleaned standard. Even when the checkout report said that further cleaning is needed at many places. Agent was outright rude and instead of us feeling like landlords - she made us feel horrible. Literally she told the cleaning agents to spend no more than 2 hrs on the property to clean and no more. The cleaning company had informed her that more cleaning is needed - but she said an outright no. We came home to a flat which was disgusting g and had to pay 15 hrs of cleaning. Mind it that while tenants were here we were paying for 4 hrs of weekly cleaning. And on top of it she getting 2 hrs as end of tenancy cleaning was outrageous. Funny thing is that none of it was supposed to be coming out of estate agents pocket. The tenant was to pay it and was ready to. Lee Porter somehow just wanted this to be a horrible experience. Such a shoddy employee. I would stay away from a company which lets their clients be treated like this. I am engaging a different agent for my further leggings and sale. And they are doing so much better.

I have been impressed by the Dexter Islington team in my rental property search. Louisa Carr and her team were excellent and very proactive in both understanding our property needs, and bringing the most relevant properties to our search as well as explaining things such as neighbourhood, amenities etc around a property . We were always shown very good quality places, and I would highly recommend working with Louisa for anyone looking to find a property.

Nabeel is hugely professional and easy to work with! I have worked with a number of Property Agents before and as we have entered Christmas we have run into a number of issues in the house with electricity, gas & a broken cabinet. Nabeel has quickly mobilized people to help us and remained communicative and effective through every step of the process. Easily the best agent I have worked with to date. - Ben

My son and I have rented an apartment through the Dexter agency for the past six years. The company has done an excellent job handling any issues that arose. Whenever we had a problem, for instance, with the washing machine or air conditioner, Dexter resolved it very quickly; they would always send a repair technician or replace the appliance if it was too old to fix.

Amazing experience- Thanks Nadia!

Dexters in general has been incredible but I have to mention Nadia at the Dexter’s City office who has gone above and beyond to find us a flat. She always kept in mind all of our needs and requirements and gave us the best options. She was extremely helpful and understanding throughout which we really appreciated. It would have been impossible for us to get comfortable with the whole process without her help. I would 100% recommend Nadia as she is absolutely amazing at her job.

Worst service ever

Would give zero, if I could, minus if I could. I have been with them for over five years, always paid on time, I’ve never called unless there was a serious issue (the last time there was a leak of carbon monoxide from the boiler), always kept the property in fantastic conditions (see report from visits).. The flat needs serious refurbishment and this is due to the fact, that is very old.. the last visit was in February 2023 when I was told that they will let me know after contacting the property landlord. I’ve been emailing them ever since, the only reply I had of the eight emails was that my property manager was on holiday and he would’ve reply to me once back after the 2nd of May. No contact from them. Around the 20th of May I called and I spoke to a lady, she told me that is actually my responsibility because I don’t know whether I want to stay or not, which is a fat lie because I specifically said to them, unless I have to move out I don’t wish to move out. However if the refurbishment takes months, I’m not sure I want to come back and do another move. The place is very convenient for me and is walking distance from work, There is also another situation I can’t disclose here, for me to stay . Once again, I was promised to be contacted within a week it’s been over a month and a half now and I had no correspondence. The lady also added that due to the amount of work will need to be done in the flat, They might need to move me out earlier than the end of the contract. This news has generated a huge amount of stress on me because I have a cat because it is very unsettling for someone receiving this sort of news, once again that was around the 20th of May. The flat has serious issues such as unpainted kitchen, looks like a garage(been for 5years, asked ever since I lived in), cracks in the floor tiles, the double ceiling used for the spotlight has not been done properly and there are insects in between the ceilings. Let alone the gate doesn’t close. The doors don’t close. The painting coming off the walls and the furniture is not existent (I rent a furnished flat) and where exists is very very old and no fit for purpose. The balcony is cracked and when the council came to check saw some suspicious ‘mold’ which they said could look like asbestos. Hopefully it’s not. They told the agency, I told the agency, nothing was done (council visit was around the 20th of March). I really don’t know what else to do to get them to give me an update. I appreciate the owner might not want to pay for all this works, but I deserve to know what’s gonna happen with me in my cat. Due to the circumstances, I’ve asked them if they could help me and put me in touch with the letting team, once again I was told it’s my responsibility to find a different place and contact the department even if they are moving out and it’s none of my fault. Obviously they have been very quick in putting my rent up last time I renew the contract.
