I made the mistake of trusting Dexters…

I made the mistake of trusting Dexters again after an initial incident where pure profit over people made me wish I never encountered them, but I loved the look of a place being advertised and couldn't help but at least attempt to see if it was right for me. In the end not only was it a "bait and switch" the property being advertised was already off the market but I 1- got inedadted with irrelevant properties in my inbox 2- was stood up at a viewing that was scheduled and 3 had all of my communication preferences ignored. I won't fall again for the trickery and horrificly unprofessional conduct of Dexters again.

Completely ghosted by the agent…

Completely ghosted by an agent after we had already started looking at properties together. Tried to follow up via phone and email multiple times, no reply. A simple email saying „this property isn’t available anymore“ or whatever the reason might be is simply the professional thing to do, and it’s not hard. Will not be contacting them again for my next home search!

A 5 star service!

Dexters have looked after the management of our property for quite some years now, and I would like to take this opportunity to mention that in the past 12 months the attention to our needs and the management of our property has become a 5 star service. Our appointed property manager, George Bromage, is polite, helpful and efficient and ensures that all our needs and requests are taken care of in the best way possible way. I feel sure that our tenants are equally pleased with any dealings with him. His service is 5 Star!

Jadasa Andjadiumi (senior property manager at Dexters)- is absolutely amazing! She handled our apartment inspection in a professional and attentive manner and helped me address several issues that needed to be resolved for a while. She also responds to my emails the same day and makes all needed appointments quickly. On top of all that, she is super friendly and an absolute pleasure to speak to!!! I feel so grateful that I am able to contact Jadasa with any question or issue I may have.

Great contract management

Dexters got me excellent tenants in no time, there was only one week between the previous tenants leaving and the current tenants arriving! But I particularly appreciate the management of the tenancy agreement that they provide: Thank you, Myra, for your excellent inspections and for providing me with the right contacts whenever a problem arises. It matters to have confidence in an agent who is always responsive to the needs of the landlord and the tenant. I would recommend Dexters for both finding suitable tenants and for efficiently managing the ensuing agreement.

I must admit, I had reservations at first. I changed Estate Agents to have Dexters take over the listinf of my property - as I was promised a quick sale. Unfortunately I had to lower the asking price due to lack of offers/viewings. Luckily I didn't lower the price as much as Dexters advised and eventually received a fair offer, which I accepted. Once this happened I was passed over from the sales team to ‌Alistair Maclean, Sales Support Manager. I can not fault Alistair. He was a great support throughout the selling of my property. I would highly recommend him.

We were approached by Dexters after a previous agent's purchaser dropped out and we were told the market was 'dead', Toby at Dexters convinced us otherwise and within a couple of weeks we had two offers at the asking price. We are very happy with the service from Toby, Conor and Alistair together with their colleagues at Hampton, between them they kept us informed from giving us names, times and dates of each viewing through to following the progress of the purchaser and their solicitors, surveyors and lenders. We have now exchanged contracts and eagerly looking forwards to completion.

We are in the process of buying our new home with Dexters and must say that it has been an absolute pleasure working with them. A special mention and thanks to our Sales Consultant - Katie Cribb who has been very helpful, professional and guiding us through the entire home buying process. She is also proactive in ensuring that the tasks are completed on time with her rigorous follow-ups through calls/emails with all the parties involved in the chain and exchanging of contracts.

We had a pleasant experience selling with Dexters recently, particularly with Jessica at the Hampton office. She made things super easy and her honesty and transparency is much appreciated. Also want to mention the whole team who has been helping us on this, they can be fully trusted. We went on holiday for a good period of time and left our property to them for photo shooting and viewings. We came back to see that they have taken a good care of it, and followed our advice/request. Really pleased that we made the right choice when choosing an agent. Thank you Dexters!

We have had the best experience ever with Jessica McCarthy of Dexters in Hampton and have just had an offer excepted on a property. The negotiations were tricky, but Jess dealt with them in an honest, transparent and efficient way. She is a talented negotiator and is also extremely personable, friendly and open. She's one of the best estate agents that we have ever dealt with and we have dealt with a lot! Well done Jess - you're a real asset to Dexters.

As a tenant

As a tenant, I would like to commend Bryan Crail (Bloomsbury Office) on his communication, problem solving and attention to detail in property management. Recently, following a planned visit to the property, we have identified a number of issues that had to be repaired. Bryan clearly and promptly communicated with the landlord as well as myself. He was able to professionally negotiate and quickly find the solutions to these problems, while keeping the interests of both the tenant and landlord in mind. Great work!

In a word it is the personal attention…

In a word it is the personal attention that my wife and I get from Natasha Bedenik. Our properties are managed from two different offices and tasks delegated to different people, accounts, letting, maintenance. With people standing in during absences at times, we get messages from about 9 different people and at times there are inconsistencies. For us the answer is to ask Natasha . Starting mid-August this year there was confusion amongst staff and estate management companies sending notices and invoices inconsistently to Dexters or directly to us such that some invoices were overlooked. Natasha sorted it out and now it seems to be running smoothly

Dexters (kentish Town)​ Avoid at all costs.

I wasted five months of my time trying to sell my property with them. Day one branch manager values my property with all the usual speil estate agents use to get you signed up. He valued my property between £400k and £475k which was to large a range!! I think this is done to offer properties too investors at the lower end of the range they know will be interested before it goes live on right move to the general public. I think these property investors are in cahoots with Dexters from the start? After signing you up the pressure starts to get you signed up with a solicitor they recommend on a no sale no fee deal, I'm selling a property with no chain so all the hard work is done by the buyers solicitor, there recommended solicitor quoted me a fee of £2.4k, this is when the dodgy alarm bells started ringing, I later appointed my own solicitor for less than £1k. The day before my property goes live on rightmove he recommends a starting price of £450k, that's £25k price drop from his maximum valuation two weeks earlier? After my property went I live I got lots of interest and viewings from rightmove, then I noticed something strange, after any potential buyers had viewed my property Dexters took them straight into my next door neighbours property? What Dexters failed to tell me was they where also marketing my neighbours almost identical property at a starting price £5k lower than mine. It sounds unbelievable but true! After a few weeks Dexters call me with an offer from a first time buyer who they say has a deposit ready to apply for a mortgage, after excepting their second offer I get pested by Dexters to appoint my solicitor before the buyer has there mortgage in place to buy? What a big mistake I made, always get proof of funds to buy before appointing a solicitor. After appointing my solicitor the buyer's details are sent over, It turns out the buyer is a buy to let property investor. Dexters later denied telling me he was a first time buyer and the staff member who told me this had moved to another branch. (BS) The same staff member answered my phone call two days before the sale fell through? The investor buyer then had his first mortgage valuation declined, After the buyers second mortgage valuation he claimed the lenders mortgage offer wasn't high enough too complete the sale and asked me to lower the price buy £30k???After several phone calls with a different Dexters staff member I agreed a price cut of £15k with the buyer stating he could find short fall amount with the help of friends and family to complete the sale. (ALL B.S.)Sale back on track (I thought) until the branch manager returned from holiday the next day and got involved again stating it was his sale and the other staff member was only covering? He told me the buyer was having a third mortgage application for the original selling price with the £15k price cut I agreed being allocated for property repairs? It sounded dodgy but had nothing to do with me (I thought). The next day the buyers solicitor emailed my solicitor to say that I'd agreed to register the sale at the original selling price but receiving £15k less and asking me to confirm this dodgy deal. This would of also meant me paying capital gains tax on £15k more than I was receiving for the sale. They thought I was born yesterday with the word mug tattooed on my forehead. A few days after his third mortgage valuation the buy to let investor pulled out. Dexters recommended remarketing my property which they'd already had removed from right move, I've no idea why they done that when contracts hadn't been signed? I thought proper agent practice was to mark adverts STC? From start to finish the whole deal stunk, this review is one hundred percent true, I have no reason to lie, recorded telephone records and emails would back me up on all of this but I doubt very much if Dexters keep them? Dexters say before you sign you can pull out of the agreement at anytime which is true, but don't forget to read the small print, you actually have a too give them 28 days notice before you're free to find a trustworthy estate agent. Take my advice and save yourself some time and money and stay clear of Dexters.

Great service.

Great service.As a tenant I have had no issues whatsoever with Dexters. They have been my agent now for three years.Whenever there has been an issue with anything within the property, there has always been a quick response from my property manager, Myra Mettam. Whether it has been a broken fridge, a leaking shower door, a new washing machine, etc, a professional trade has been called quickly and the issue has been rectified, usually within a week of the problem being highlighted. In fact, today I emailed Myra at around midday to report a radiator not working in the property and by 2.45pm someone had been sent round and the radiator was fixed. Amazing!It also helps that my landlord appears to be very quick to respond as well, and very understanding. You hear of many horror stories for tenants, but my experience with Dexters couldn't be further removed from those. Very satisfied.

Avoid at all costs.

Avoid at all costs.They pressured us into reducing the property's price within seven days of marketing it. They screamed at me that the property needed a complete refurb, which was invalid. They took really bad photos and included that the property needed updating in the property details, which was false. After a few weeks, they advised us to accept an offer way below the property's value. The whole episode stank of insider dealing. On top of which, they were stressful to deal with. Luckily, I changed Estate Agents, and we sold the property for £35,000 more than the offer they told us to accept.
