I’m not usually one to write reviews, but due to Dexters appalling service I feel it worth sharing with potential new clients - both renters and landlords.
As a new mother, we were hoping Dexters would provide some flexibility in our contract renewal after 18 months in a flat in Richmond. They unequivocally enforced a lengthy fixed term renewal with no regard to our circumstances as new parents. This meant we had to endure viewings of our flat in the immediate run up to me giving birth, then hours after I’d returned from hospital having given birth. Most viewings were rudely requested well within 24 hours notice, despite our contract dictating otherwise. We then had to move to temporary and expensive accommodation with a 3 week old child. Zero consideration was given to our circumstances.
They then tried to deduct £300 from our deposit, which once challenged was reduced to £50 (it should have been £0, but we gave up chasing in the end). They are clearly out to steal whatever they can from innocent tenants.
These are just a couple of examples of a really bad experience with Dexters. My partner and I have rented in London for over 10 years, and have never experienced such shocking service from a letting agent. Sadly they have a monopoly around Kew/Richmond, but landlords I urge you to avoid if you care one bit about your tenants

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. ...
