Dexters Mayfair reviews in Westminster

Avoid

Very similar experience to the other negative reviews. Arrived on move in day to a dirty flat, no deep clean had been done as requested and everything was disgusting. Damaged fixings reported on moving in, some things remained broken when we moved out a year and a half later which they tried to deduct from our deposit, also attempted to charge £200 + for a carpet clean, luckily we had an email thread and pictures of the carpet when we moved in. Reported a broken cupboard door in person to one of the directors, never got fixed and when we moved out we got charged for it because we couldn't prove we had reported it. Again sent multiple agents round to view the flat in our last couple of months, one left the light on all day and fire door open. Avoid. Or at least make sure you have everything on email and take pictures of everything.

Lots of room for improvement

My experience during my 2 years tenancy with them:1. It was agreed that they will remove some items from the property. They did not. When following up they just denied and were arrogant and very unprofessional. They claimed that it was not on the offer letter so would not do it. But it was agreed over the emails and I had proof. The property management team is a disaster. The items were never removed and I just gave up. 2. When moved in lots of things were broken and not working. The house was not checked prior. Things that are not obvious during viewing.3. When any issue arise it took them ages to get it fixed and only because I was calling to follow up. Otherwise they do not call back or follow up. I stayed without a dishwasher for a month, broken blinds, massive leak in the bathroom etc. 4. Got locked outside and went to them to ask for spare key. They have the key as they have accessed the flat without us being there. They lost the key. Last time a contractor had it but they cannot locate it. Anyone could have entered the property and the whole building. 5. When we gave notice we were abroad and told them to do viewings with prior notice. They got the keys from the landlord as had lost the spare one. They came for a viewing without any notice and found us there as we returned unexpectedly earlier from our holiday. They thought it was alright to just come in our house without letting us know. 6. They came for another viewing and locked us in. The specific lock does not open from inside if locked from outside. I called them to come back. 7. At the end of our tenancy, we realised there are mice in the property. They got pest control who confirmed and they needed to come back and deal with it due to holes in the walls behind the kitchen. Situation got worse and I sent pictures of a drawer full of mice droppings. Mice started running in the kitchen. Two weeks no reply and when I called they were arrogant. They said it was our responsibility to deal with it. The holes in the walls? They have inspected my house few times and it is spotless clean. The manager even said that this will be done so it is ready for the next tenants.. we were still living there but they did not care. I had posted a negative review back when I moved in, but I was asked by Charlie, their manager to remove it. I thought they deserved a second chance. Dexters Management: instead of asking people to remove negative reviews, maybe work on your SOPs, procedures and customer service skills. Positive notes: - the letting agent who showed us the property back then was brilliant and very professional. - Check out agent was also good. We also got all our deposit back as we kept the house in perfect condition.

Do not get involved

Do not get involved - don't waste you time and energy.I flagged the issues in the flat during the review and offer process with the letting agent. The next day we agreed on what is and is not possible to be fixed and "shook hands", I made an offer. Nothing had been done, which they informed me about on the day of the move.I arrived into an utterly dirty flat. The dirty mattress was part of the fixes I asked for. After escalation, was disgusted when the agent’s the line manager said her agent had not put her commitments in writing. They are backtracking from other promised fixes now too. A word is a bond concept is not the one Dexters is familiar with. The communications are patronising, arrogant, manipulative. They omit information that does not suit them. No works have been made within their own timelines and the only way to get a progress is to chase them. They have communications problems between themselves and problems that creates are being pushed to tenants.Have had around couple of dozen calls, including their management. It is a very very poor service, lack of ownership, dysfunctional communications, frankly, when someone misleads you, pretends it did not happen - how can you ever trust this firm.

A genuinely excellent agent

Pro-active, professional, friendly and interested in doing a good job. Jo from Dexters is all of these things. A true breath of fresh air and a delight to deal with. She can’t perform magic, no-one can, but she lets you know what she can do and how that’s going. She also gets an awful lot done too. Great liaison between landlord and managing agent. Excellent communication. I’ll stop now.

Steer clear

Steer clear - they don’t allow you dispute any charges against the deposit (and even suggested that more charges ‘might be added on’ if we were to pursue any kind of appeal against them). They suggested they had done us a favour for not allowing the landlord to add illegal charges as a reason not to appeal the others. We had multiple experiences of rude and/or aggressive phone calls, in one case angry that we had underpaid on our final rent - only to find out it was their mistake and they had forgotten to invoice us weeks before. They also had no idea about our move out date (calling us to confirm move out with dates that were 2 weeks early, multiple times). Overall, it’s been a really stressful time consuming experience - don’t use them if you value your time.

Smooth renting process with Alfie

I had a great experience with Alfie Brown. Viewing was arranged on the same day (with also alternative properties as back-up). My offer was then accepted and the tenancy agreed in a very short turnaround. Alfie provided support and feedback throughout, highly recommended.

Agent phoned to cancel a viewing 15 minutes before it was scheduled. I had to travel an hour to get there. He told me to improve my offer or not to bother with the viewing. Then he tried to push other viewings, which I had never indicated any interest in. I told him I was not interested in those other properties, and he demanded, I think quite rudely, to know how I could be not interested when I hadn't seen them. Dude, I saw them on Rightmove. They suck. That's why I'm not interested in them and never was.All in all the experience left a nasty taste in my mouth.

Avoid this agency

They kept trying to push a 3 year contract on us, after a lot of back and forth we got it down to 2years and 3 months (still not ideal), we were also told the flat was unfurnished and then when we put our offer in they told us it was fully furnished which turned out to include an array of random items and ornaments, an old rusty meat grinder (I'm not even joking) none of which were mentioned before signing anything and they tried very hard to get us to keep the old, lumpy and stained mattress, which luckily after a lot and back and forth, we manged to get them to remove. When we moved in the flat was filthy and the garden was a tip.We had multiple problems during our stay, all of which took far too long to get resolved, one of which was a gas leak that Cadence had to come around to investigate and then turn our gas off, we informed dexters about this and then a few days after asked them again when someone would be getting sent out to fix the issue and they acted like it was the first time hearing about this.At the end of our tenancy they tried to charge us £300 for the garden and £120 for a "top up" clean even after showing proof we hired professional cleaners and evidence of how much cleaner and neater everything was now compared to how it was left to us. We obviously disagreed with them but they kept saying if we went to the TDS we would lose so there would be no point in trying but luckily we didn't listen to them and went to the TDS who fully agreed with us and we got our full deposit back which was great but a lot of effort to go through and a long wait just to get our deposit back.If you're looking to rent, then avoid dexters at all costs and if you're currently unlucky enough to be renting from them, then make sure to go to the TDS when they try to steal your deposit after your tenancy is up.

just particular agent

just particular agent, so they book a viewing to my place and I was concentrating on other stuff during the whole visit, and would expect the agent to answer the questions from the visitor. Yet, the visitor kept trying to ask me things e.g. the epc, tax band and whether the heater is electric while I believe the agent should know the answers (these are basic stuff), yet he just folded his arms and allowed the visitor to bother me. At the end, I just said 'you should ask the agent, he might know more.' Then the agent put a long face to me. The whole thing is unprofessional and ridiculous.

Great lettings agency

Dexters has been a great agency to work with. They’ve handled the moving process/property management efficiently and swiftly, and with total professionalism. My rental property has been managed by Jadasa Andjadiumi - who has been extremely supportive and efficient in ensuring that all the procedures run smoothly. Having worked with other agencies in the past, I’m very happy to now be working with Dexters as their services are unmatched.
