£4500 unnecessary fee - avoid at all costs.

Have rented for years with half a douzen rental companies and have never had an experience even 10% as bad as with Dexters. After my husband lost his job and I became pregnant we let dexters know we’d need to move out as we couldn’t afford the rent. We offered to pay any fees to find a new tenant and to cover rent until a new tenant moved in to ensure no rent loss. Long story short while a new tenant was found after just two hours of advertising and they were paying more rent, Dexters forced us to pay a £4500 fee so that they could receive double management fees, based on a clause in their contact with our landlord that we didn’t have visibility of. On top of that lots of examples of them going outside of contract / getting every possible £ from us. When consulting a lawyer on the issue he said he consistently sees Dexters behaving appallingly. I’d really recommend everyone avoids them at all costs.

They refuse to do emergency repairs

My fuse box broke, as a result I had no electricity, heating and hot water. That was during winter, with temperature getting to -5 at night. They repeatedly claim it's not an emergency.

Sales support was excellent

Alistair our sales support manager was brilliant throughout the whole sale. No matter what the issue, he was always very considered and very professional. A very easy person to get along with and communicate with. We spent a long time working with the Dexters team to find our family home and appreciated Alistair's support to get it over the line. The team did spend time helping us find the right home - we're very grateful for that. The only thing I would say that let it down at the end was when were handed the keys to our new home, we were asked to fill in a survey there and then by the Sales Dir. Having taken 2 trains and a car journey to get to the office with children waiting in the car it didn't feel appropriate and I think the team should consider what it feels like from the client side.

If to consider the way they are lying…

If to consider the way they are lying to the tenants and probably to the landlords then they should been closed by nowNot sure if central management, or if if there is a manager responsible for their team but the seems like they don’t care. !!!!!In my case i pay 3000£ per month rent cause from the day one when we move the house was in a bad shape, but everything was just at the beginning, after a year they still not fixing plumbing /drainage or other major issues, after a year they are sending only irresponsible traders that only messing with this property (if you are a landlord you should be worried about it) despite all this they will be threatening you with with ,,bad recommendations after,, in my case I don’t pay the rent till a professional it is not confirming via email that is coming(and I’m going and verify that that company has good reviews cause l don’t know what else to do anymore)So yeah, you you want to live a nightmare rent with them, if you want to destroy your property let your house in their hands, they are the right experts ,, please don’t say you sorry to hear this cause is all fake, like all your ,,maintenance managers,,

Thanks for your help Kieran!

We had been struggling for almost a year with our previous property manager who was unable to help us fix a complex plumbing issue in our flat. We were passed onto Kieran as our new property manager who helped us get the appropriate contractors to fix the issue within a few weeks. We really appreciated how communicative he was, keeping us updated on the progress and was able to fix our problem!

Waste of time

So many of the properties I've called Dexters about have already been sold, are under offer etc. To the point where it just seems like a waste of time to call about their listings. Property hunting is already time consuming enough. I complained to a Dexter agent about this and he said it keeps Dexter's housing stock looking high. Yeah right, good for Dexters, lousy for customers.

Waste of resources

For several years, Dexters have bulk mailed solicitations that they will purchase or act as agents to let properties in my area. Each year I contact their Chamberlayne Road office, explaining that the entire block of flats is owned by one person, and that they should contact that one person. Information easily obtained by public records. Obviously, this information is ignored as the solicitations continue. This is an annoying waste of resources.

Illegally withholding a deposit

Illegally withholding a depositI have left my flat 1 month ago and Dexters were contractually supposed to send my deposit back within 10 business days but they are simply refusing to do so. Every time I contact them I have to wait a few days in order to get a response which always dismisses my request and they say they need to confirm things that are already confirmed. My landlord has already confirmed the deposit can be returned in full but they still refuse to give it back to me. They have asked to deduct fees twice for things that are not receivable. From next week I will have to involve my attorney since dexters are clearly abusing their power and are in full breach of the contract that has been signed by all parties. They have of course been reported for their action.

I could give a zero star review if…

I could give a zero star review if allowed. The worst experience I have ever had. Imposing unjustified costs to tenants due to not taking the responsibility of their mistakes, for being completely disorganised, totally unprofessional and in complete dissarrangenent. The contract we signed was wrong in terms of dates, putting me in trouble without any reason, they cut the deposit amount based on false information, not based on contracts and inventory and trying to avoid all responsibilities, claiming that is not their fault. This is insane. Unprofessional and crooks!

Utter incompetence, no shame, shocking lies in written correspondence

Edit: Below reply from Dexters perfectly illustrates everything I state below as I have already emailed that very exact email address and they confirmed receiving my formal complaint but here of course say that they cannot locate me. Classic Dexters.Original review:For 4 years renting through Dexters and despite multiple poor experiences over the years where things are mixed up, forgotten, incorrectly submitted, referred etc, by far the most despicable act was recent when they lied to me in written email correspondence, claiming to be negotiating on behalf of my landlord for a 31% increase in rent. Turned out my landlord never asked for this and never instructed them to do this or wanted any such increase. So I guess they were counting on us not talking to eachother hoping that I would decline the increase move out and they get fees to get someone new. Separate to this at least 10 other cases where all branches of dexters from maintenance to admin have failed to follow the simplest and clearest of instructions which cost time and money of both me as tenant as well as the landlord.

I made an enquiry on right move, and Mohamed gave me a call within a few minutes. The efficiency of his work impressed me instantly. Mohamed demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and a genuine dedication to helping me find the perfect home. I would refer anyone who is looking for a home to Dexters because I had an amazing experience with Mohamed. Thank you!

Great service again

This is the second time I gave a review to this company. Same good service as my previous review. I would like to give a shoutout to the Senior Property Manager, Petros Giorganios, who promptly helped me to fix my apartment closet after a phone to him. The issue was fixed after 2 days of the phone call.
