Illegally withholding a deposit

Illegally withholding a depositI have left my flat 1 month ago and Dexters were contractually supposed to send my deposit back within 10 business days but they are simply refusing to do so. Every time I contact them I have to wait a few days in order to get a response which always dismisses my request and they say they need to confirm things that are already confirmed. My landlord has already confirmed the deposit can be returned in full but they still refuse to give it back to me. They have asked to deduct fees twice for things that are not receivable. From next week I will have to involve my attorney since dexters are clearly abusing their power and are in full breach of the contract that has been signed by all parties. They have of course been reported for their action.

I could give a zero star review if allowed. The worst experience I have ever had. Imposing unjustified costs to tenants due to not taking the responsibility of their mistakes, for being completely disorganised, totally unprofessional and in complete dissarrangenent. The contract we signed was wrong in terms of dates, putting me in trouble without any reason, they cut the deposit amount based on false information, not based on contracts and inventory and trying to avoid all responsibilities, claiming that is not their fault. This is insane. Unprofessional and crooks!

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.

Waste of time

So many of the properties I've called Dexters about have already been sold, are under offer etc. To the point where it just seems like a waste of time to call about their listings. Property hunting is already time consuming enough. I complained to a Dexter agent about this and he said it keeps Dexter's housing stock looking high. Yeah right, good for Dexters, lousy for customers.

I recently contacted Joshua Evans while searching for a property in the Kingston area. From the outset, him and the team was very professional, listened to all my requirements and went above and beyond to organise the viewings. Communication was seamless, and the office team always available to answer any questions or concerns. Overall, a hassle-free and positive experience with Joshua and Dexters in Kingston.

I am a landlord and as their client, they provided me with a very professional service and I found a happy tenant very quickly. A special mention must go to Ms. Kelsey Hagan, she was very professional and efficient and I couldn't be more pleased. I think I will renew my contract with them.

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!

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!

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.

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.

fully managed carefree letting with Dexters Kingston office

We have been letting our property on a fully managed basis through Dexters Kingston Office. Sonia De Abreu and her term have helped us managing our property for almost two decades by now, and when they say its fully managed, they mean it. It is basically carefree for us, and they tidy up all the loose ends associagted in dealing with tenants requests. Differents sections of Dexters work seamlessly, valuable advice and solutions seems just a phone call away for us.
