Well what can I say probably the worst experience we have had. Whist living in the property they were incredibly slow to act on anything, we were without a shower for 10 days in the end we contacted the landlord directly, paid for it to be fixed and the landlord reimbursed because dexters were not sorting the problem. They never did follow up to see if we got it fixed!!! The worst was yet to come when we left the property, it took 1 month to get our deposit back and an utter battle all the way. The agent and landlord couldn't seem to work out who was responsible it took me to contact the Deposit Protection Scheme to get the deposit back and suddenly Dexters could release this deposit!! They deducted a small amount of money which I was happy to sign off mainly due to the fact I was tired of this rubbish. When I asked to see receipts When the work was completed I got told they do not have to issue receipts. So again checked this with DPS and yep.... another lie we have rights to see what they are doing with our money. Just to add we are still waiting to see receipts....
I would never use Dexters again awful awful customer service.

I agree avoid Dexters Chiswick - liars, schemers, they will play you. The general theme throughout is that they lie & you can't trust them. Georgina McConnell is a property manager at Chiswick who lies to her landlord clients & also her tenants, she trains Sarah Dowling who is like a rabid dog frothing at the mouth & throwing tantrums - she asks you questions & before you've responded she's yelling over the top of you. No suprise the lack of professionalism here. Kim Mellor avoids fixing issues ...

You'll change your mind once your tenancy has been underway for a while - they're lovely at the beginning, but once things go wrong, the property needs repair, you don't have electricity, hot water they will lie, cheat & be disgustingly rude to you. It's always great at the beginning, when they get your money but how quickly it changes. Avoid Georgina McConnell & Sarah Dowling who live & breathe dishonesty. ...

I'm trying Dexters for the second time (although I'm not holding out high hopes, and I have several back up plans in case things should hit the fan) and Tom Mclarnon was an absolute NIGHTMARE to deal with when letting the property I am moving out of now. He was 100% a liar and lied about even the littlest things concerning the property, he was rude and disrespectful to the HIGHEST degree and he was just all around a dick.
