Stranger walked into my room while i was sleeping

1. Dexters gave keys to ‘maintenance worker’ to check our bathroom without letting us know so I was sleeping naked when he walked into my room.2. Landlord attempted to charge us £500 damge cost for a small 2 bed flat 2 months after we moved out, some dents they showed us were already there when we moved in, clearly indicated in our check-in report.3. They claimed meters are professionally managed by Dexters but when the energy supplier charged us after repairing the electricity meter, Dexters refused the responsibility to pay us back. After my own investigation with the energy supplier, I found out that the landlord used a ‘substitute meter’ instead of a legitimate meter. We tenants clearly are not responsible for paying the replacement of a knock-off. We have moved out for more than 3 months and this issue is still not resolved yet.4. It has been more than 3 months since we moved out and still haven’t received our deposit back.(Once they phoned us early in the morning which woke us up, just to ask whether we have set up an account with Thames Water -6 months after we moved in)

Unresponsive landlord and no solution from Dexters

They need to be more selective with the landlords that they work with. We have been waiting for the landlord to approve something for 4 months. Apparently the landlord hasn’t replied in 4 months. Dexters says they can’t do anything without landlord approval. This has been an awful experience so far.

I am a tenant who rented a flat through Peter James. I would specifically say that Alica whom i communicated with throughout the process was very professional, understanding and down to earth. She was ready to listen to me anytime I call her, even when i had challenges with referencing from my previous landlord. She could understand the hassle of renting as a tenant. Also, I have experienced renting from various letting agents and the way they communicate with you seems to look like they are doing you a favour. However, I was highly impressed with Peter James (Alicia Ireson) who made the process of renting seemingly tireless for me. I will also suggest that previous landlords should not be the only options for providing references. It will be best to explore other alternatives in case the landlord refuses to provide their tenant with a reference.

I am a tenant that had complained since April , ( now it’s Christmas ), about a room that’s too cold even though heating full on . In November they fitted supressors to the window but nothing changed . Complained by mail 3 times . Workers finally came 2 weeks ago and said it’s the walls facing outside without insulation. I wrote to them after they came ( around 8 days later ) . They said they have not had workers come even though they did , and that if I wish they will allow me out of my contract ! Absolute joke . They do this so I will have a cold Christmas . The room is not inhabitable as the inside walls measured by there workman showed 12 degree , mold has got everywhere including bed linen . They should have offered me money off until room walls fixed so that room is usuable and discount as my heating has gone through the roof . I have been left no option so have instructed a solicitor to deal with it on my behalf

Great experience with Dexters and Konrad

Great experience with Dexters. Had a great first impression with the listings they had on the website. Got the flat sorted in just 4 days from the viewing date. Konrad has especially been helpful to me and my partner. Met him at the viewing. Easy to talk to and incredibly efficient. He was always available for any questions we had and kept us updated throughout the process. Amazing experience altogether. Highly recommend the service.

What a wonderful choice I made.

What a wonderful choice I made.I used Dexters Clapham (Abbeville Road) to sell my house. Jake, John and their team were highly professional, the communication was excellent (always available to help and to resolve some issues) with me, the buyers and the lawyers involved. I highly recommend Dexters!!!

Pockets of excellence

Like in most large companies, there are pockets of excellence and areas where improvements can be made. Overall, I enjoyed good service but I expected a bit more for the money I was paying, particularly in the communication aspects regarding completion of maintenance jobs. The highlights over the 15 years have been the check-in and check-out reports and the responsiveness of rentals director Sonia De Abreu. The main area for improvement? The three failed attempts to sell the property.

Awful for Tenants

As a tenant, don't go anywhere near this agency. We rented a property with viewings being managed by Dexters and never want to use them again. When we first got accepted for the flat they tried to push us into a 24month contract and would not negotiate at all via email or phone until we got a male (we're all young females) to reiterate our request for a standard 12 Month contract. Now, having to move out of the property, the viewings are being done by Dexters Hackney again and they've been abhorrent. They've failed to notify us of cancelled appointments and left us waiting with no word, they've lied to potential tenants about what is included in the contract (e.g. furniture that isn't the landlords & the type of furniture that would be provided) and even tried to tell the landlord how we've not let them do their job of conducting viewings (despite never turning down an appointment) because we've answered the potential tenants questions honestly and spoke up when the agents lied (as you would hope a decent human being to do). Some of the agents do actually want to do their job and have asked us questions to properly inform the viewers, however the majority just want to secure a sale and will lie to get there.

Disorganise

Have had an absolutely horrible experience with Nicole! I booked a viewing for a house in Mornington Crescent, for 1pm on Wednesday the 25th of November which she didn’t arrive to. When I called to ask where she was, she took 15 minutes to tell me she won’t be coming while I waited outside the property. I expressed my disappointment as my friend and I were really keen on the house and we don’t want to lose it and we e rescheduled the viewing for 1pm on Friday the 27th of November. When she was 5 minutes late for this viewing, I called and was told she’d be on her way and will call me back to tell me how long while I waited outside the property again. She called back to say an offer had been accepted the day before and then told me she had called my friend to cancel, which is a lie. She told me this three times even when I told her she definitely didn’t, and there is no proof of the call. Will avoid Dexters in the area after waiting outside a viewing twice for an estate agent who doesn’t show up, doesn’t know what’s happening, and liesUPDATE: Nicole’s manager reached out to get more understanding of what happened. He sent me brochures for properties that are not what I’m looking for and asked me to remove the review, but at least they’re taking on feedback.
