I had the displeasure to rent a place via Dexters. My "communication" if I can call it that was with Alysha, Sanjay and Gary. It is the worst agency that I ever had to work with. To sum up some of the stuff that went on:
- They lied about cleaning the place before moving in.
- They never fixed broken items in the place that were supposed to be fixed before moving in.
- They do not reply to emails. A month+ of unanswered emails, even when it's urgent.
- They gave the keys to the flat to a random person WITHOUT giving any kind of notice, and that person came to our flat when we were all away! They said it was "for an inspection" after we figured out that someone has been in the place! They didn't care about the 24 hour (at least!) notice that was in the contract.
- They said the tenants did not pay the rent, and when bank evidence showed they were wrong, they did not even apologize and stopped replying to emails.

Edit:
After I left they tried to grab the deposit money. I tried to talk them out of it but they kept lying and they even tried to create a new pdf with TDS that said I left the property 1 month before the end. Luckily with the TDS dispute scheme and me having all documents and proof and them having none I got all my money back.
