You may notice that all the positive reviews for Dexters are from landlords, because they're the only ones getting a good deal. My partner and I rented an expensive two bed property in Richmond and were required to pay a £3000 deposit and around £500 in arbitrary 'admin fees' without any reference to what that money was actually for. When we moved in, Dexters wanted to drop by frequently to check the property. My partner finally had to tell them to back off and leave us alone. Barely anything in the property worked and it would take Dexters literally months to get things fixed. We had to chase them for over a year to take the 'For Rent' sign down from the front, for example. When we wanted to end our tenancy 4 months early, they were happy to relist the property and find a replacement tenant but demanded that we pay another arbitrary £800 fee before they'd list the property. Again, no explanantion for what this money was for nor how it differed from the £500 they'd already robbed off us. Thankfully the Government is cracking down on this predatory behaviour and I hope that Dexters is the first against the wall! Unless you have no real attachment to money, please avoid!

Imagine renting a property with Dexters, completing all paperwork, satisfying all reference checks, satisfying all financial checks, giving them a 5 figure holding deposit, and completing a legally binding tenancy agreement. Only for Dexters to drop the ball, and allow the landlord to rent out your ...

Yes, I have also aggressively been threatened with genuine homelessness because of DEXTERS RICHMOND. No empathy, no humanity, no interest in anything other than kicking you out for their own commission. Absolutely disgusting. It's 2024, the Google reviews are clearly from paid commenters as I don't know anyone in the area with a good experience. ...

Worst company ever - avoid at all cost!
We signed a contract for (!!specifically!!) unfurnitured apartment, but they are still unable to follow it (we still have furniture in the flat), despite the fact our tenancy started on the 1st March (10 days already) and because of it we are unable to use the whole bedroom. They only thing they are good at is promises. ...
