The overall quality and communication with Dexters is terrible, we've been told 3 different things by 3 different agents, who apparently don't communicate with each other as each agent was completely unaware we'd been in contact with them before.
We paid an early leaving fee (10% of all remaining months) and then had to keep paying rent for 2 months after this.
We told them we were going to be leaving in March/April in early February, and they said they'd find someone to take over the tenancy. They then found someone to take over the tenancy in June and told us in mid May that we'd only given them a few days notice.
On top of all this, they've told us we need to pay £250 to get the apartment professionally cleaned because, and I quote, "There are some crumbs in the oven".
I strongly advise anyone looking to rent stays away from this terrible agent.

Hi Marilyn, Thanks for getting back to me on the issue. All I would say that I am not happy at all being a customer. The time that was wasted by Dexters, Wimbledon cannot be replaced. I have bought and sold so many properties in UK and outside but never received such a bad service. Me and my wife kept telling Simon and other agents on the phone or by visiting their office in Wimbledon that we are not happy with the service and they should do something about it. We also requested them for an ear ...

If you stuck to the arrangement you made it would have been fine. Not giving a phone call or an email or anything but just changing it at the last second is absurd.Attached Filesnbsp;

What agent could do to change your mind?
Absolutely nothing. They behaved deceitfully and are clearly either uninformed of the existence of tenants' rights or attempting to exploit the possibility that the tenant isn't aware of his/her rights. This is a perfect example of why LAs need to be regulated.Attached Filesnbsp;

Thank you for your generic reply (yes, I did look at replies to other comments) - as we have already asked who to complain to and your name/email address was not the one given, we can only assume that either;
a) Dexters have finally realised they have too big an issue to keep fobbing people off via individual offices, so have employed a central person to do this so their other email addresses are not clogged with complaints.....
b) you are only rolled out when complaints are logged on a pub ...
No fees information available
Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.
Complaints Procedure
No procedure available.
