Uninhabitable apartments and they don’t care

I recently moved into a property with Dexters and unfortunately have had a bad experience. I’m 45 days into my tenancy with them and 13 of those days I’ve gone without hot water and heating.During my viewing I was told many things like that the boiler was new and I shouldn’t expect any problems (I had voiced about my worries with my previous flat regarding water pressure etc). They also tried to pressure me into a 3 year contract without a break clause even though I voiced my concern over my previous rental and how the water problems were not fixed and a break clause after a year was the only way I was able to move out of my previous bad situation. I’m afraid of the same thing happening here as I am already living without hot water for 20% of my tenancy to date and Dexters property management is not showing sympathy for my situation - in fact they just keep saying it’s not their fault the 3rd party contractors don’t show up, accused me of lying and not reporting my boiler issues when I have call logs AND emails to prove that I did and overall saying they are busy and my property is not the only one they are managing. I’m accommodating for multiple engineer visits which are at any hour, any day and have impacted my work as I work from home and they are so frequent. The engineers are just scratching their heads and openly telling me they don’t know how to fix it and they’ll come back the next day to try again.Steer away from Dexters if you want any security with your rental as I have a 2 year contract with no break clause and Dexters property management are too busy to give me timely updates or deal with their contractors.

Rubbish

Rubbish, Modern theives, I haven't viewed any property, I haven't sign any forms, is it Lawful just to widraw £430 in one of my account and say its a payment for wasting your time? They sold my personal details to a company with bad reutations and bad reviews. Ask for proof and I will post my statement with dexters witdrawal of £415. Sebastian rubbish is typical.

Fix the hot water issue for one year and still the same

My shower releases hot water every 3 minutes and then cold water and I wait for the hot water comes back by luck. I moved in one year ago and the director of property management Georgina McConell sent at least 5 times to fix the boiler and the issue remains. I explained to her again and again it’s only shower has issues and other taps are totally fine. But she insisted she was right and yesterday she told me she will keep sending boiler engineer to fix it but the point is not the boiler! I already explicitly told her many times she just ignored and claimed she will send boiler engineer and charge me if no issue. So more than one year I haven’t had a full hot shower since I moved in. Of course the issue is still here, this is my second winter no full hot shower because I have 2 year lease! I already seek legal advice, property ombudsman and council to intervene. They will come inspect the issue and prove it is here. Very crazy

Renting out a flat for many years

I rented my flat in SE London, for many years, with Myra Mettam, being my contact at the estate agents. She was just right for the job. She always understood my needs and ensured that my tenants were well looked after and happy. She was always responsive to any problems that arose and would sort it out to everyone's satisfaction. I would definitely recommend her to others.

End of tenancy nightmare

As a tenant, Dexters were largely fine as a management agency - issues were (mostly) sorted relatively quickly, although there were a couple of occasions where we reported an issue, someone came to have a look, said they needed to order a part, and no follow up ever came. Trying to get through to someone was often quite painful as you get bounced from department to department. The low rating comes from their behaviour after we gave notice to end the tenancy. The flat was advertised for about six weeks and we had constant requests for viewing over that period, often with less than an hour's notice. We asked repeatedly for more notice for viewings (and we were extremely flexible so this wasn't a case of us offering 30 mins' availability per week). They seemed to interpret this as 'give the same short notice but apologise for it being short notice'. When one of us said we couldn't accommodate a particular time, they'd try calling the other tenant. They turned up when we'd said we couldn't accommodate a viewing at such short notice. The concept of making block viewing bookings didn't seem to occur to them - when we suggested this via email it was ignored. They also turned up late on several occasions for agreed viewings and gave garbled excuses - if they'd have just given us a heads up that someone was running late it would have been fine, but they genuinely seemed to expect us to slot them in at their leisure. On several occasions after viewings the agent left every single light on in the flat (including for viewings in broad daylight) - no thought for our electricity bills.

Positive Experience

I had a really positive experience with Dexters - Bill Dench, from the Chiswick branch, helped me find a place within days and went above and beyond to maintaining an excellent customer service. Thank you Bill.

The house sale process was made easy…

The house sale process was made easy throughout, the advice was clear and communication at each stage was very good with regular updates on progress. We were kept updated as to who would be viewing the house and when. All the people I dealt with were helpful and personable. My only other comment is that different people were the contact point at different times which was a function of the holiday period which I understand but not ideal.

review for the New Homes Team in London

This is a review for the New Homes Team in London and to the sales agent Jake Turner, this person will say all the right things before the sale and once that is complete doesn't actually delivery on the promises.sold me a NEW property with many defects ie broken tile, broken bed legs, broken chest drawers, toilet that has plumbing issues, bath tub with scratches and chips, missing complete set of keys, also with electricity that is -£40 in arrears so when i moved in it had no power. just inspects every detail and part of the house closely, test everything and make sure its all fixed before completion.

Monika Piszczyk - Property Manager

Monika from Dexters Property Management team has been very helpful in chasing the building management company and get things that are under the responsibility of the building management company taken care of. She was also helpful in maintaining communications and update with the landlord and tenants and demonstrate great level of responsiveness to look after the issue with great level of ownership.

Troubles managed with patience

In my personal experience, I had some problems finding the person to share the apartment I wanted with, thus there have been various changes in the second tenant for the apartment, but all of them have been handled real-time and most importantly with patience and professionally by my agent Nadia that was managing the deal. Also all details of the property have been explained clearly and multiple times.

Our move-in day was shambolic

Dexters Battersea told me two weeks before my move-in day that I could get the keys from 8am. After hearing nothing more, my fellow tenants followed up the night before at which point Dexters moved key collection to 1.30pm. Then, at 11am on move-in day itself, they delayed it to 4.30pm. By this point I had already started moving out of my previous house and had to return those keys, so had nowhere to go the whole day. I had to spend £20 on parking fees in the interim, which Dexters refused to refund. It ruined my family's plans too - they travelled four hours to help me move in the morning. The cause of the delay was Dexters not arranging for essential works to be done until 2am the night before, and Dexters not arranging a professional clean and inspection until the move-in day itself. Dexters did not accept responsibility and refused to refund the parking fees or provide compensation. A disappointing experience that caused much unnecessary stress. Ironic given they asked me to write a five-star review after we agreed the offer.

Excellent service!

We ran into a weird problem with the sunroof at the property we are renting. Poppy, our property manager, followed up on this for us many times, most of the time without us asking for an update. She kept the communication very tight on this, giving us constant updates. As a renter who reported an issue, seeing the follow ups and the communication on the issue we raised is almost as important as getting the issue itself fixed. And we appreciate Poppy for all she did for us!

Dexters regularly spams our building with junk mail that all ends up in the bin. PLEASE STOP. So annoying. Update - In Sept and Oct 24, I've received 3 different junk mail letters from Dexters. Please stop wasting paper. Don't use Dexters if you don't like junk mail.

The Maintenance Team are professional, efficient and helpful (Tenant)

I have dealt with a few members of the Dexters property maintenance team (as a tenant) and they have been excellent. I have found them to be always prompt and professional. Most recently Chloe assisted me with the replacement of a toilet. She understood the problem and took ownership of it. Chloe resolved the issue promptly and I'm really grateful to her for going above and beyond to help. I would recommend their services.

Great property manager! 5 stars

During our 3.5yr tenancy in a house managed by Dexters Twickenham we had various property managers handling our queries, however our favourite agent, who always went above and beyond for us was Harley Baker. He was so professional and efficient. Always keeping us informed on the progress of our queries and nothing was ever a problem for him. His friendly mannerism was always welcoming and he really understood our point of view. Any tenant or landlord would be lucky to have him manage their property.

The best estate Agent I have dealt with…

The best estate Agent I have dealt with so far. Genuinely nice people. Alexandra, very politely and welcoming lady. Emanuel, his name sounds like Emanuel, he showed me a property, very calm and nice young man who was immediately trying to get me to see another property because I complained the house I was viewing is too small. Finally John who I also spoke to at some point is such a lovely human being. Not sure what Dexter office these guys are based in, but I viewed property close to Kensington Olympia/ West Kensington area. You would be in good hands if you come across them !
