Customer Service

Pros:

  • "There's always someone at hand to either respond to emails or phone calls."
  • "Joe and his team went out of their way to get the property advertised, AND secure a tenant very quickly AND over the expected rental price."
  • "Communication with Lea throughout was easy and she did really well at keeping the momentum going through conveyancing to get a quick completion."
  • "I always felt like they were on top of things and pushing hard to get them to a place of confirmation quickly."
  • "From the initial meeting, right through to signing of the tenancy and beyond, I've been entirely satisfied by their service, which is slick, communicative and highly professional."
  • "Joe kept in constant contact throughout the offer process and made sure we knew exactly what was required in terms of the tenancy agreement."
  • "From the moment I phoned to enquire about available flats, through to the moment the agreement was signed (and beyond), Cameron provided a superb, highly professional, and very friendly service."

Cons:

  • "Service has been awful, constantly have to chase to get anything done."
  • "The phone was rarely answered, queries took a long time to be resolved, little attention to detail (mistakes on legal documents) and slow to respond."
  • "It did feel a little as though they just... disappeared when we reached an agreement to let the property."
  • "However, being an overseas landlord, I didn't feel as though I was supported and kept in the loop at all times; I had to chase up for information a few times."
  • "I am quite surprised by the lack of professionalism by their property management team."
  • "I have had to chase them several times to get an answer so far, they have managed to fix 3/14 issues reported."
  • "They are experts on chasing you to sign a contract and pay, but they forget about you once everything has been paid."

Professionalism

Pros:

  • "Michelle Caulker... was prompt at dealing with issues, responsive via email, and kept us informed about developments."
  • "Joe Read from Dexters in Hackney is an agent who is truly a cut above the rest."
  • "Jodie's team of estate agents are by far the most professional and efficient I have come across."
  • "I really enjoy working with Joe Read. He is professional and goes above and beyond to provide landlords with a good service."
  • "Dexters Hackney team is extremely professional."
  • "These guys are hard working, professional and extremely competent. It was our first letting experience and Joe Read kept me fully informed throughout and found us some lovely tenants."
  • "The team at Dexters were exceptionally responsive and proactive in helping me to secure a lease."

Cons:

  • "Dreadful. When viewing, the agent was uninformed about the property and didn't know whether it had a gas supply."
  • "Apart from finding a tenant very quickly, every step of my experience as a landlord with Dexter's has been tragic."
  • "We had a poor property manager who let a pretty major issue develop and damage the property."
  • "Avoid! Dexters, who manage my rented flat on behalf of the landlord have been unable or unwilling to fix a broken shower in my flat for over 4 weeks now."
  • "Also, I found out by the landlord that the person who was in charge of my flat left the agency and they never told us about this change."
  • "I can confirm the service remains to be a joke and I am regularly underpaid as a landlord."
  • "After moving, I sent a list of items that needed to be fixed, they have been quite slow responding."

Efficiency

Pros:

  • "Very efficient service provided by Dexters."
  • "Joe & the Team at Dexter's... turned around all agreements in 48 hours!"
  • "We were impressed by the speed Dexters rented out our property in Hackney."
  • "Within days of listing our flat we had over 30 viewings booked, and within a week, we had a fantastic offer agreed."
  • "Joe Read was extremely helpful with all our queries and efficiently managed letting process which was completed within 3 days of viewing the apartment."
  • "Dexters really followed through on their promise to find a quality tenant for my flat quickly - it only took three days."
  • "Billy organized everything so quickly that by the time I got home from the viewing (~30 mins later), he called to say the offer had been accepted, and kicked off all the paperwork straight away."

Cons:

  • "When I moved, the flat wasn't professionally cleaned as it was agreed in the contract, well it wasn't even cleaned at all."
  • "It turns out that Dexters sent a cleaning agency but never checked if the job was done correctly."
  • "The sale of my flat took a while due to market conditions and finding the right buyer, but finally got there!"
  • "I had mice on recurring basis in the property... The company providing solution on behalf of Dexters was very unprofessional."
  • "One thing I would definitely not do is use their recommended solicitors, Simply Conveyancing."
  • "After our property was with a different local agent for over 11 months without a sale, we decided to change to Dexters Hackney. Thanks to their hard work we went from photographs being taken to exchanging contracts within 10 weeks."
  • "I am leaving three stars because my experience prior signing the contract was OK with them."
