Avoid as a landlord!!!
Dealing with Dexters Canary Wharf as a landlord has been a complete waste of time. After couple of weeks of advertising my flat on Zoopla, they managed to find one tenant that could only move in 1.5 months after my ideal move in date. Still, I accepted their offer.
But when they started negotiating with payment date of the moving in monies, especially after me directly telling them upfront that delaying this is not an option, I was shocked to experience the behaviour of Dexters. Instead of protecting my needs as their customer, they were more than happy putting me in a vulnerable position and advising me to take the tenant’s word for making a delayed payment, but still signing the contract upfront. Or signing it later, which is equally as bad.
Would they compensate me for lost rental income if tenant decided to pull out last minute before signing the contract? Of course not.
Extremely frustrating that I had no assigned agent, I had to deal with several different agents including Ruby, Zhora, Jeyda, Katherine and Hettie, none of them knowing the full history and therefore having to explain the matter at hand time and time again.
They showed NO CARE whatsoever about what position the tenants are in, nor asking them all these questions upfront (poor due diligence) to avoid wasting my time ...because this was not a "miscommunication" as Dexters stated over the phone, this was NEGLECT and total lack of professionalism.
Of course they tried to make me change my mind by waving the admin fees and the first month rent’s commission, but how is that going to help down the line when the tenants suddenly change their mind about paying the rent or disappear? It’s not a surprise that after this charade I have no trust in either the tenants nor in the agency…. And why are they only negotiating with me??? Especially, after them confirming with me that if tenants were to disappear and they can't get hod of them, I WOULD STILL OWE THEM THEIR MONTHLY FEES UNTIL END OF TENANCY!!! This is honestly ridiculous!
Extremely disappointing, I will never seek their services and advise you not to either!
