Great customer service

I have rented with Dexters since 2019, with the recent change in management I have had a pleasant experience and seen a huge difference in their customer service. Dexters property manager Lorraine Fisher is highly efficient and takes your concerns or issues raised very serious and acts on resolving them immediately. Extremely pleased with the service we have received. Stuti and Henry.

Water Leaking from Ceiling for Four Weeks, Unresolved Issue at William Court

I have had a very disappointing experience with Dexters as a tenant. I reported a leak in my top-floor flat at William Court on 22 October, and despite constant follow-ups, the issue has still not been resolved. Even after four weeks, I have received no clear communication, diagnosis, or action plan, and I have had to live in the flat with water leaking from the ceiling when it rains.

I got full asking price Bloomsbury Branch

I contacted Lok Bloomsbury Branch when I was ready to sell and Michael took over when Lok was overseas .Dexters efficiently arranged for a number of viewings of my flat when it was placed on the market. When those did not produce any offers, they gave me helpful advice about the level to reduce the selling price to which I then got the full asking price ,very happy (Thankyou Michael !)Highly professional and highly recommended .

Jamal has been very helpful in our recent flat search. He found us some great options and arranged a speedy viewing for the flat we ended up choosing. Having encountered some very pushy agents on this search, we have really appreciated the friendliness and individual service Jamal and everyone we have dealt with at Dexters has provided.

Had a great experience with Flick, who was a breath of fresh air when conducting viewings. Her sense of humour and easy going personality helped to put us at ease.

Property Managed by Dexters

Ledi is a great Property Manager in the Twickenham area. She has a perfect understanding of when to make executive decisions on my behalf based on best industry standards and then when to request my input. She is always so professional and I wouldn't want anyone to property manage my apartment.

A massive thank you to Ben Ablett from Dexter agency from Hampton office for his incredible support during our search to find a new property to rent. Ben was really professional at all times with a positive and kind attitude and went above and beyond to try to find us a new property to rent. Thank you!

Bad coordination and service

We dealt with the tooting branch to rent a place in the area. Agents were friendly welcoming and eager to find us a place. which sounds great but the snag is after you get the property. The agent showed us the place and was very quick with communication and doing checks and the property was robustly secured for us. Firstly, Dexters claim they have the best high finish properties. the property we got we discovered after living for few months was an old place with old carpets, with rats and mice, with loose window frames, so poor heating, and of course mold was appearing in the kitchen and bathroom. the contract stated the place should be deep cleaned , this never happened, the amount of dirt , hair on carpets and grease in the kitchen we cleaned cannot be described. the agents felt very annoyed when we were contacting them for issues in the first few weeks, and one of the responses was this is the property you saw and signed for so we can't help you. Although we saw the property at a time it was still occupied and supposedly will be deep cleaned.Moreover, the coordination !. when we contact the agency they say contact the landlord. when we contact the latter they say to contact the agency. no one knew or wanted to know what their role was.The contract stated a lot of stuff that Dexters did not comply to and we did not realize it immediately as we were new to the country and naive enough to trust we are dealing with a reputable agency. first as mentioned before the cleanliness of the place, second -we were never checked in by any agent or landlord, they asked us to pick up the keys from agent.- we never received any document with the inventory count which many agencies and private landlords provide and is nice to have. - we never received a proof for the deposit being held in a secure scheme as mentioned in the contract.When the tenancy ended, we were checked out by the landlord. and went waiting to be contacted for the deposit never heard anything after 20 days we contact the Landlord they say Dexters are dealing with the deposit. When we contact dexters they say that we need to reach an agreement with the Landlord and then they email them to realease the deposit. I asked if the landlord is aware of that they reply saying Oh they should maybe drop them an email. I would have expected a good agency to to this instead of asking me to !After we informed the landlord of the process which dexters should have explained to them. the landlord took time to feedback so we only heard back after sending an email highlighting their non compliance to deposit rules. The landlord replied and said they asked for deposit release, Dexters sent a notification after 5 days saying deposit will be released within 10 days. and we go the deposit after 3 weeks ! That was a long story. But our experience with Dexters was awful. maybe it is a coincidence. But for me they are the last agency to deal with on my list. After dealing with private landlords and now with an another agency I realized how bad our experience with them was.Take home message, read the contract well and be vigilant to ask about every point especially with DExters.

Looking after both landlords and tenants

Dexters has been my agency for a couple of years now and I have been immensely comforted knowing that the property is being well-managed. They bring any issues in the flat to my attention right away, and work with me on best and most cost-effective solutions. Thank you also for ensuring fair invoicing from contractors (Shout out to Mohammed Amin for sorting out one such issue very recently for me!)

I’ve recently re-let my property and have continued to use the letting and management services of Dexters. The service over the last 4 years has been exceptional with a hugely professional service received from all teams. Good communication during the viewings process and the ongoing management of the property. Great technology too making the process very simple as an overseas landlord.Thank you James and the rest of the Dexters team!

I cannot overstate how friendly and helpful Jonathan Walker has been. London renting is famously difficult, but he went above and beyond to help us out. Genuine consideration was given to our budget, communication could not have been better, and it’s really felt like he was looking out for us. We all feel incredibly lucky and grateful to have had his honesty, dedication and integrity on our side.

Big thanks to Kayleigh and the team for handling the sale of my flat so professionally and efficiently. This was my first time selling a property, and contrary to my expectations, the entire process was quick and relatively stress-free, with contracts exchanged in less than three months after the offer was accepted. Thank you

Would give a 0 if I could

Would give a 0 if I could. We went under offer on a property with Dexters (specifically dealing with Hannah Thelwell). There were tenants in the property and they informed us they were moving out in 3 months time. We started they buying process, paying for solicitor fees, surveys etc. amounting to nearly £1000. We then found out months after going under offer that that the tenants lease was actually a year long and they understandably did not want to move out which resulted in the sale falling through and us as first time buyers loosing out on nearly £1,000. Dexters did not care in the slightest and lied to us throughout the whole process, the tenants rented the property via Dexters so they knew fine well the lease length. Would actively avoid using them again and would not recommend Dexters to anyone.

I had a great experience with Dexters…

I had a great experience with Dexters Isleworth during my move-in and move-out. When I moved in 2 years ago, Munir was very helpful with every step of the procedure and he made our rental process very easy. During our 2 years at the property and on our move-out after 2 years, Connor was responsible and he also made every step very helpful. They all tried hard to find us a new property. It was a great experience after all thanks to Munir and Connor, and many of them in Isleworth branch.

The whole team is unprofessional

Jodie is absolutely unprofessional, not helpful at all and only cares about getting the deposit money but whenever there are complaints they aren’t replied to and re-directed to anyone that can deal with it. In our flat we have been dealing with a mold and we had to fix it ourselves and we have been waiting about 5 months if not more for the repairs to be done after our previous tenants and yet nothing has been done. The lady called Lydia has emailed us about an “inspection” that she didnt get into details of and told you that a colleague will come to our property on the day and time that none of us are available and are not replying to our emails asking to reschedule on a day that is suitable for everyone as we feel uncomfortable with a stranger entering our property when no one is home. Abhorrent.

Must read, very bad experience

Very bad experience with Dexters.Previously I have rented property from small letting agency, and I can say they were Perfect. It is not the story if choose to rent from "trusted" Dexters CRICKLEWOOD.I collected keys of 5th of December, went to the house - entry doors was wide opened, no one locked the doors after their last visit.After I noticed that the house was not professionally cleaned. Kitchen tiles greasy, cooker hood with very big layer of old oil. Tiles behind sink had still dry food leftovers stucked in the tiles. Kitchen cupboards dirty and oily. Floors wasn't washed and 5 minutes after walking with my socks, our socks was black.I did request that carpet would be changed, on this they said it will be professionally cleaned.Carpet was filty and stinky, like a dog and poo, because previous tenants had a dog and they rented this place over 4 years so you can imagine state of this carpet.I have 2 small children, 3 and 2, after them crawling on the stairs, there little hands and feet are dirty (literally black) and stinky. It is very dangerous to have this carpet in the house, it is full with germs and parasites.In an agreement it was stating that bathrooms sink unit will be changed, because it is rotten. On my arrival on 5th of December I found the new unit in standing in the house still in the original packaging. Rotten furniture is still attached to the sink. And I noticed that this sinks pipe is blocked, it stinks like mould and it is visible that something is inside this pipe.All windows are covered with mould. They have left inside washing machine - stinks as mould and I checked under washing machine, all parts are rotten and covered with mould.We disconnected washing machine and brought it outside of the house, because smell that was coming from it and pipes inside house (all with black mould) was smelling so bad, that it gave as allergy and headache and we was not able to use this bathroom and bedroom.Also this house came unfurnished, however, they have left some furniture inside, which is all covered with mould and stinks musty. I have asked to be removed all of the mouldy furniture, but it hasn't been done. I CANNOT unpack for 17 days, because kitchen smells rotten, because rotten furniture is still in the house and I cannot put my own. ( i am in risk to destroy my own furniture, Because this house stinks really bad)Oven doors is not shutting properly.Electricity plugs and Internet cable - covered with rust.Some Electricity plus giving electric noise - very dangerous.Working light bulb cables - burned, nearly causing problem of fire.One of the bedrooms windows are locked and key was not provided, windows cannot be opened.Garage keys was not provided, when I asked - they probably don't have it, they said, but they couldn't update when the keys will be provided.Kitchen - all cupboards smells rotten, I cannot keep any food in the kitchen cupboard, because this house has a serious problem with damp, I am not sure if roof is leaking, but kitchen shelfs are not usable. We have been heating up this property, windows wide opened and dehumidifier is working 24/7 but it doesn't help the smell and all our clothes stinks musty and damp.I have asked to to fix all of that, rotten and mouldy furniture to removed.Behind dish washer - rotten smell is coming out, i am sure if I would see back of the kitchen unit - it would all be covered with mould.It is unsafe to be in this property and maintenance have to happen asap.There are more problems with the property, I will make a video and post it in YouTube, tik tok and instagram, so you can see what Dexter is allowing to their tenants.Will add links later under this review.I have complained about it straight away, all is written in our emails. It has been 17 days since we moved in, and nothing has been fixed or changed !Petros (greek man) is a person I would have to make a complains about the property. Yes, his manner and speaking politely is great, he has been doing this job for 15 years, there is no problem to train yourself to speak politely.But he have not resolved ANY of the problems.Always replying - no problem, I will speak with my manager about it, and every time I get to hold on him - his answer is the same.He is not replying to my emails.I have called to the office and asked to speak to him 17 times over 17 days, only 5 of my calles was answered, the rest of the time - he was busy, or in meeting ( which doesn't sounds true to me)Christmas is coming and Dexter have left us with all of the problems.I have spent so much of my time and energy. I thought it would be happy move in.Our rent is over 3000 per month and also they wanted us to sign the contract for 3 years ( no break clause)I have so much stress to be in such an unsafe property like this, I have small children and this is dangerous property to be in.

Alistair Maclean was very helpful!

I recently worked with Alistair Maclean of Dexters in a complex leasehold sale (the client's previous solicitors had failed to registered documents from 2001). Locating and obtaining the unregistered documents, getting consent from the freeholder's new lender, and registering those documents with HM Land Registry took several months. During this time the buyer had three changes of solicitor due to staff leaving. Alistair did an excellent job of managing all parties' emotions and moving matters forward to enable us to successfully complete the transaction.

Delighted with Dexters…

I have always enjoyed an excellent service over the 2 properties that Dexters manage for me. We have had excellent tenants and there is prompt communication when problems arise. Christian Pengelly in particular has been most helpful in sorting out some pod the more difficult problems. He has a considerable knowledge of tenancy arrangements especially of a more challenging nature.
