Personable, Professional, Knowledgeable

It has been a pleasure to deal with Sophie from the Kensal Rise office in my search for a new home. I found Sophie to be personable, professional and extremely knowledgeable about the property of interest and the local area (which I particularly appreciated as I don't yet know it well) as well as neighbouring and comparable properties when I enquired about the scope for development. What impressed me the most was that I enquired about the property months ago but access wasn't possible so Sophie kept my details and arranged for me to see it as soon as it was available to view. I will be glad to deal with Sophie and Dexters moving forward. Thank you for a really positive experience and great service.

Substandard service, use at your peril

I can honestly say, Dexters Acton is the worst Estate Agents I have had the misfortune of using, over my many years of owning and selling properties. I have to give the most ineffective and uncommunicative award to Julian Kroll, who is an ‘old school’ salesman, with little substance.I urge anyone wanting to sell or indeed Let their property, NOT to use this agent, as in my opinion, you will be very disappointed with the service…you have been warned.

In my 13 years of renting, having worked as an estate agent and now being a landlord with several properties myself, Dexters are by far the worst estate agency I've ever dealt with

In my 13 years of renting, having worked as an estate agent and now being a landlord with several properties myself, Dexters are by far the worst estate agency I've ever dealt with. Its been issue after issue but the worst part of it is that they screen your calls and never ring you back. I've lost count how many times they've cited "Covid" as their excuse for bad customer service. Its been over a year now since the pandemic started and its laughable they continue to use that excuse. To provide some context the rent is £2500 a month for a 2/3 bed so this is not a cheap run-down flat. Here is everything that has gone wrong:- We agreed to take the property on completely unfurnished yet the day we move it, the entire flat is full of furniture and even the previous tenant's belongings. We had to reschedule our deliveries and take more time off work to wait for them to remove the furniture. In taking all this furniture out they have scraped the walls but refuse to re-paint. - They left exposed wires hanging from the wall and broken plug sockets- Massive damp stain on the wall which has taken them 4 months to paint. -Broken door. Was told they were waiting for the exact replacement door only to come and fit an odd door after 4 months.- I've got a blocked toilet. Was told they would send someone round the same day. it's now 5 days later and every time I call up I get told someone will call me back, this never happens. - Blocked drains which meant the garden kept flooding. This took nearly 3 months of complaining for them to sort.-Broken washing machine. It took them 5 weeks to come out to sort. Try not having a washing machine for 5 weeks. - Blocked bath for nearly 3 months so we had to share the same bathroom when your paying for the use of two. It wasn't until I said we need to review the rent that they decided to sort things out. This is a classic case of being very proactive when you are in the buying stage but as soon as we are tenants, they are non-existent. I would strongly advise anyone looking to rent to stay well clear of Dexters, as they are unable to deal with their current workload.

Been renting with Dexters for the first…

Been renting with Dexters for the first and last time. If i see their logo when buying property i just walk away.AVOID THEIR PROPERTIES located on Chesson RoadAll journey since very start been unprofessional. Sales agent Jose promised us that property will be refreshed (repaint scratched walls, leak marks on ceiling) before our move in. As we moved in we been shocked of condition. Leaking taps, water leaks still present, property haven't been cleaned up at all. At this point i think its worth to mention that Jose email us that property is ready for us to move in day before.Now here start our 1.5 year long journey of constant email exchange with incompetent property management. That on the end exhausted us to the point that we decided to leave property DURING LOCKDOWN. Big thanks to Kim Mellor - property manager - that encouraged us to do so. That lady should not represent company as she cannot even keep her voice down in conversation. Her manners taking place from where shes from i suppose, as i did not get used to snorts in middle of my sentence or anyone shouting over while i trying to finish my sentence. At the moment she is holding our deposit for over 3 weeks, without any given reason besides her mental instability. Saying that 10 days given by government to tenant deposit is just guidance.- Shower on property did not work for 6months of tenancy, i been in contact with them every week.- Property was swarming with pests mice / moths that been reported. But not much has been done. - For another 1 month i could not use shower (same that did not had water for 6months before) since waste pipes under shower tray disconnected and we start flooding neighbours-On our report of black mould on walls we had reply to wash it off with water, even though all moist been going through not watertight balcony

Thank you to Petros

After we moved into our property, we were faced with a few maintenance issues, but Petros has been extremely helpful in resolving these by liasing with the maintenance teams and organising any repairs, and has really been on our side through the whole experience. Thank you Petros!

Excellent sales progression

Have recently been involved in a transaction with Dexters where Alistair Maclean was instrumental in ironing out the issues required to move the transaction forward to exchange. His input and diligence was extremely beneficial to the transaction, so i'd have no hesitation in recommending Alistair and would welcome his involvement in future.

Thanks Natasha & Dexters!

We've had a fantastic time staying at a property managed by Natasha over the last three years. Natasha and her team are always available, and any issues with the property are always promptly resolved. We can only recommend Natasha, as we know how much difference an attentive and competent property agent like Natasha makes! Alen & Margherita

Joe Read was quick in response and clear in the market response to evolving higher rental demands due to higher interest base rates. He was knowledgeable and very pleasant to talk to and gave me the assurance that I have put tenant finding in competent hands when my wish for professional corporate employees were adhered to. Thank you, Joe.Susie Heupel

Avoid this agency under all costs!

Avoid this agency under all costs!We rented 42 Connell Crescent for over a year and living there was terrible. The property has humidity issues and mould grows on all the walls. We had two dehumidifiers, opened windows all day long and had heating was on all the time but we still had mould on the walls and could barely breathe due to high humidity. We addressed this problem to the agency and they said that the property had an assessment done about this issue, as previous tenants had the same problem, and the assessment says that the property has no problems whatsoever. The agency refused to do anything regarding this issue and said it is only a matter of condensation, but it was not.At the end of the tenancy agreement, the agency asked us to clean the mould otherwise money will be deducted from the deposit. We cleaned all the mould except for one spot (which we did not see) behind a wardrobe. The check-out report came after almost 2 weeks of moving out and did not indicate any problems with mould. However, the landlady is aware of the mould issue and so she went herself to the property and checked everywhere for mould including behind the wardrobes. She found the spot and so the agency deducted £150 for it and for two small drilled holes in the wall (these holes were there when we moved in but we did not have a proof of that and check-in report did not mention anything about them).The agency initially wanted to deduct £450 of our deposit in which £200 was for issues that already existed in the property and thank god we had a proof that those issues were there from day one (the check-in report conveniently did not mention those issues but the check-out report did!). At the end I paid £150, not £450.This property also suffers from terrible insulation and we have reported this problem as well and nothing was done about it. Watch the video in my Google review as a summary for we had to go through.There were other problems which I will not mention, otherwise the review will be too long. Long story short, the agency will do anything to be on the landlord's side and to deduct money from your deposit. If you really have to rent from them then make sure you check everything in the check-in report, literally EVERYTHING even little scratches on and holes because you WILL be charged for them if you do not have a proof that they exist from day one. If you do not have to rent from them, then run away and never deal with them!

dexters made my parents homeless…

You guy’s at dexters did my parents over. Made them homeless in the middle of a pandemic. You kept the house they wanted on the market even though you accepted their offer. They are elderly and shouldn’t have to be in this situation right now. They could’ve pulled out of the sale of their house but they didn’t because they are decent humans with ethics. They wouldn’t do to their buyers what you did to them. Your a bunch of slime balls trying to make that little extra bit of commission at their expense. They paid for solicitors and missed the stamp duty. It could’ve been a smooth transition over Christmas but now in the freezing cold out of pocket and they have to put their stuff in storage, which isn’t cheap. YOU LOT ARE DISGRACEFUL CONDUCTING BUSINESS WITH NO MORALS. UNETHICAL ESTATE AGENTS STAY CLEAR OF DEXTERS PEOPLE!!!

Highly recommended for hassle-free property management

I have chosen Dexter, and never regretted it. Christian Pengelly’s team is so organised and excellent in keeping me post on all the legislation changes. They keep me informed and I felt at ease throughout. Highly recommended if you a looking for a responsible agent.

Really great experience. When we asked for approval to upgrade some kitchen appliances, our account manager Neil went out of his way to talk to the landlord, not only obtaining approval but also a split cost agreement and managing to find the same appliances at a cheaper discounted price. Thanks!

We dealt with Zen from the Battersea branch when we managed to lock ourselves out of the house (!) the other evening. We called the branch immediately, Zen was the only person left in the office and was just about to leave for the day, but she kindly stayed and waited for us to get there so we could pick up a spare set of keys. We were so grateful! Thank you - Highly recommended!

Great Experience as a landlord

We have worked with Claire Gallagher-Doherty at Dexter's to let our properties for many years. Things are run smoothly, rents paid on time and they have found good, solid tenants that stay for long leases. The tenants seem happy and well looked after as well as the properties. Appreciate you and the team very much.

Graziana & Angelo were super helpful!

We’ve been dealing with Angelo since a few months, who was very helpful in solving some issues and major repairs in our house. Recently, we’ve also dealt with Graziana, who was very quick to solve our issues at the start of our contract renewal. Graziana’s communication was great, over the phone and via email.
