The service I have received from Dexters has been far below was is acceptable. First, they locked me in their contract that is very advantageous to them. They told me verbally things that ended up the opposite to what the contract was (that I could shorten the 2 years contract after 6 months for instance). It was all in the fine prints yes, when I was in a rush to finish some works in the flat, organizing for my move abroad etc. so I blindingly trusted them and signed their contract. They did intentionally lied to me (resulting to me having to rent a flat to live in when I could be in my own, now that I have moved back). Then,over the last 18 months, they had 7 months with payment mistakes (the money from the rent, after their fees). Every time to their favor. If I hadn't been super vigilant, having to point out to them the errors in their fees, I would be down by over 500 pounds (and maybe I have missed some errors too). Yes, they did fix it, with a 'sorry, it's the computer mistake, it won't happen again'. After 7 times, it's still the computer error and surely it won't happen again. On the upside they did get it right 11 times. (Errors like the VAT has been charged on their fee, and on the amount of VAT, or a fee has been charged 2 months in a row etc.) Then comes the management part of their work. The person who was in charge was quite dedicated at the beginning (and I thought efficient), until we had major works to be donein the flat. I have spent so much time managing the agent, that it would have been easier for me to do it all myself. For instance, the day before the works were to start, a Sunday night, I receive an email from the tenant wondering when the works were to due to start.... and the tenant had to vacate the flat during the duration of the works. Here I am now contacting tenants, contractors etc. to find a solution (and try to keep the agent in the loop). And I'm paying 15% of my rent for this. It was the first time I've used letting agents, they may well be all the same, but I would recommend to try your luck elsewhere.

Don't work with Dexters - tenant or landlord. Having finally got back my full deposit and a £300 settlement from the ombudsman, I finally feel comfortable publishing my experience with Dexters. To start at the start, I was shown around the property by a member of Dexters staff... Read Full Review

Prepare yourself to deal with the slowest and most incompetent company currently operating in the UK. In the one year that I let a property from Dexter's I dealt with no fewer than 8 different employees each more apathetic than the last. Every piece of paperwork I received contained errors...

Dexters has been the worst agency I've ever worked with. They were pushing us to make an offer higher than the add as "apparently" the landlord had many but we liked the flat and we'd decided to do it. After thousands of problems started. The only thing that they rushed us with was... Read Full Review
their fees ended being higher than FOXTONS with a normal/low service which for us was unbelievable.

Dexters were extremely efficient, polite and professional. They found great tenants quickly and they managed the whole letting process superbly. They often went above and beyond what they were contracted to do to sort a problem for us. We couldn't fault them and would happily recommend to other... Read Full Review

I decided to let my one bedroom flat in SW4 and spoke to several of the estate agents surrounding my property. Out of all of them I chose Dexters because I felt that they gave me an honest valuation rather than an inflated one to attract my business as others agents had done previously. They...

Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.
