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 .

Dexters Property Management

We have given our home thru Dexters for rent. This was our first time and there were some initial glitches like last-minute leaks. Khadija and team at Dexters made sure that to get some plumbers in immediately to fix the leak. They also gave us and the tenants regular updates. This helped us to go thru a difficult situation smoothly. Thank you khadija for your dedication.

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!

We highly recommend collab with Dexters. We are really grateful to the entire team especially Tyreek Ishael Burke, Edward and Adam Slaney.

Jeyda was so great and proactive when it came to finding a place for me. She provided multiple options for me to choose from and because she knew how much I wanted one flat in particular, she even put in extra effort outside her working hours to help me get it - Thank you so much!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Service Review

Dexter has been managing my property for several years and I always received rent within reasonable time. However, I encountered a problem with this recently where the property manager insisted that the rent has been paid to me although the statement was not sent. I pointed out that no fund reached my bank account on several occasions. She failed to understand that the statement went hand in hand with rent payment, This went on for a few days. Eventually I called Property Management team and spoke to Gabija Pabalyte. She knew the problem immediately and was able to resolve the non-payment issue with the Account Payable team immediately. I received the remittance the next working day. Full mark to Gabija Pabalyte.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Jeyda from Dexters to view a property, and I could not be happier with the experience. From start to finish, she was professional, knowledgeable and very personable. I highly recommend Jeyda for anyone looking for a dedicated and friendly real estate agent.

I struggled really hard to find the perfect apartment at the right price for myself. Usually, it's so much of an effort that we have to put in ourselves. However, Harry Lofthouse from Dexter's Canary Wharf was so proactive and helpful in my search. He would constantly reach out with new properties and if I had changed my mind about certain things, he would immediately get onto finding me new properties more suited to my needs. It was a refreshing experience, having someone actively helping me out. It certainly made the process smoother as I didn't have to stress as much and I truly appreciate it. I highly recommend this office if you're struggling with finding your house and need someone to genuinely help you!!

A horrible experience

A horrible experience. Dexters arranged a viewing for us at the property when the previous tenant’s furniture was still in the flat. There was serious damp damage on the wall linings behind that furniture. They did not disclose this even though they were aware of a serious leak in the building and then failed to acknowledge their gross marketing practice. We made an offer. On the first day of our tenancy we discovered the damp on the walls, faulty electrics, faulty heating units and mold on the window blinds. Beware of trusting them

It started when a friend's flat was passed to Dexters. I was dealing with this matter and met Christian Pengally the Lettings manager. He was cheerful and helpful throughout and even managed to get the owners deposit back despite the difficulties due to the tenant passed away. Will not hesitate to recommend him and Dexters.

Monika to the Rescue!

Our experience with Dexters has been exceptional. We've been with them for eight months, and they have consistently been responsive and helpful. From the beginning, Monika has been incredibly supportive, efficiently managing communication between us and the landlord and promptly addressing any issues. Her dedication and professionalism have made our experience with Dexters genuinely outstanding.

Great customer service!

I moved into my new property on the 20th December 2022, just before Christmas which is a hectic time for everybody! However, with the assistance of Dexters (especially Bill) they have made my move very smooth and hassle free. Bill has been nothing but helpful, proactive and attentive. He has gone above and beyond to answer all of my questions and always gets back to me when he says he will (a lot of people don’t!). Bill has (and will continue to I’m sure) provided me with excellent customer service.

I would like to formally commend Jamie Donaghey-Schiavo for delivering the most exceptional customer service I have experienced from a letting agent in over 16 years. During our recent property search, we came across Dexters while enquiring about a listing that particularly interested my fiancée. From the very first interaction, Jamie distinguished himself through his professionalism, honesty, and transparency. His communication was consistently clear and timely, and he approached every stage of the process with efficiency and genuine care. What truly set Jamie apart was his proactive attitude and his willingness to go above and beyond, particularly when assisting us in resolving an issue with our application. He remained supportive throughout, demonstrating not only competence but also a remarkable level of empathy and emotional intelligence. His approach made what is often a stressful experience feel personal, reassuring, and genuinely human. In an industry where such qualities can be rare, Jamie represents the very best of what a letting agent should be. I sincerely hope this feedback reaches his superiors, as his outstanding conduct and work ethic deserve recognition. He is a true asset and should be considered a standard-bearer for excellence at Dexters. Thank you once again for an exceptional experience.
