As a landlord in Fulham for 36 years

As a landlord in Fulham for 36 years, I have used a variety of lettings agents, including Sullivan Thomas before they became Carter Jonas. I was pleasantly surprised with the professionalism of the Carter Jonas team (Igor, Sam, Zoltan and Ana). Everything from their cheerful phone manner, to finding a good tenant and conducting references, was top notch. As I live abroad, it is important for me to trust that my property is in good hands. Thanks to the lettings team for a great job!

I have just sold a property in Winchester as executor of an estate. Robert McLaughlin could not have been more impressive. Professional, knowledgeable, communicative and a pleasure to deal with. I cannot recommend him highly enough. He went the extra mile all the way through the process.

What a mess in administration and blame…

A MESS in administration, making FALSE statements and BLAME the tenant in bad attitude!!!, , , Barnes branch. Two staff called to reserve a time separately for future tenant to come to viewing (They asked me to remove their names (The Associate Partner and the Assistant), not sure they were afraid of anything. But it’s fine for me as the fact that here is true.).The viewing was fine to me. But one day before the viewing one staff called and expressed no viewing on that day and asked for another day. It was also fine to me. Then another senior staff called and BLAMED and SCOLDED at me about the cancellation in BAD attitude and ARGUED with me. She was the senior staff of this company. Why the staff do NOT have any compromised before making arrangements? Why the senior staff use such BAD attitude to customer and not clarify that their staff was the one to cancel ???? Then they made up another story and called the landlord that I was not co-operate. What a nonsense and FALSE statement!!!!It’s their staffs fault and keep accusing others without any feeling sorry. I will keep to complain to outsider independence organisation if your company keep continuing to make false statements and accuse me like this.NOT RECOMMEND AT ALL!!!!

I have dealt with CJ for more than thirty years under all their various ownerships from the founder onwards and found them prompt, polite, objective, fair and balanced in their views and actions between tenant and landlord. Aileen (Barnes/Mortlake) in particular is a dream to deal with. Always straightforward and very efficient. Highly recommended. T Wakefield

We found Carter Jonas to be great to work with when renting a property, they helped us every step of the way and we would highly recommend them.

Great service

Great service. We had a nightmare selling our house not because of the buyers that Carter Jonas introduced to us but because of drop outs further down the chain that just set everything back time and again. Throughout the whole process Carter Jonas remained positive and keep us informed every inch of the way. I can't thank you enough guys. We certainly couldn't have done it with out you

I can highly recommend Carter Jonas

I can highly recommend Carter Jonas. I have used them to let my properties for many years and they provide a client focussed service to finding the right tenants quickly and secure the best rent. There have been no issues with the tenants. They manage the process of supporting me to do the tenant change over with great care and attention. They are also a pleasure to deal with.

Terrible service and poor communication

Several things went wrong when trying to sell my apartment.The person that was responsible for selling my apartment left the company. They didn't tell me anything. I only got to know this when I contacted the office 1 month after my apartment was listed and I hadn't heard anything thus far.A second point was that I was promised by the agent that they would clean my apartment for free. In the end all they did was vacuum cleaning the bedroom carpet. The rest they then claimed it was a misunderstanding. Does cleaning an apartment means cleaning one carpet only?Finally, they gave my name to several viewers. Who then found me online and contacted me directly. Is it even legal to reveal my personal details to prospective buyers for no reason? GDPR anyone?I ended up switching to another agent. Communication was really bad, and I think that's the base for trust. But trust had been violated already when they fooled me with the promises of cleaning the apartment.EDIT: I sent an email to the address provided by Carter Jonas below but they never replied. These comments here on Truspilot are probably just automatic bots. They couldn't care less about what went wrong.

One of the worst experience in London

One of the worst experience renting in London (should have seen it from the beginning): Visited a flat with them in Marylebone in Feb. 2021 that I selected for a move in date 10th of April 2021. One of my requirements was to have optic fibre installed in the flat due to the pandemic on move in date, which *of course* they agreed to and promised ... well first surprise, nothing was done when I moved in and I've had to chase them till.... End of May, so that the broadband provider could be allowed in. The staff is entitled and very rude: asked for a 2nd set of keys upon move in, which got "refused" and the explanation was that "the only second key we got is for management". I've had to argue with them on that too, and push back a LOT in order to have these 2nd keys. Of course the person who's done the viewing with me and agreed on my requirements was no longer answering my calls or texts when these issues happened. Last but not least, make sure you thoroughly check your LEASE: my rent was agreed upon in the lease at a certain amount, even though I had a 12 months lease, the deal was that it would be reconducted if I was happy with the flat. They've contacted me in JANUARY to know if I was intending to stay, when I said yes, they've had the AUDACITY to tell me that the landlord and them would be raising the rent of 20%! (YES 20%!). When I challenged them on the legality of this, the answer was that I got a "covid price" and now that the market is back to normal if I'm not happy, I can just leave? After all of this, the "associate partner" in charge of tenancy has the NERVE to send me flats ads in the area thinking I'd rent with them EVER AGAIN? Now the last straw is them initiating viewings on the flat and telling me I have an attitude because I'm not bending backwards for them! RUN IF YOU CAN - there are way better real estate agencies in Marylebone!

Awful customer service

Awful customer service. Been waiting since we moved in (9 months) to have a window fixed with zero compensation. We’re paying extra utilities all winter because a window won’t close. I call up about blocked drains and the response I get is not ‘I’m really sorry all your drains are blocked let us get someone out to check out what’s going on and maybe try stop your gardens flooding’ but instead they say ‘we can get someone there but if you’re putting random stuff down the drain you’re paying for it’Customer service is shocking and they appear now to care at all or trust the people that pay them every month. It’s been so hard to get anything fixed by them half the time it’s been easier to just fix it myself than even try and raise the issue.

Appauling service

Appauling service, can't speak to anyone, no one returns calls or emails and at the end of the Tenancy it's proving almost impossible to get my deposit back despite being told it will be paid in full. Depsite handing back the property in good order and being told I would get my deposit back in full, 6 weeks later I'm still waiting. I kept getting told it was being processed and even got an email saying it had been paid and was in my account (my bank confirmed this was not the case). No one picks up the phone, head office numbers listed on the web site are dead, when you leave a voice mail on a mobile no one gets back to you and I now cant get a repsonse to an email. This is the worst experince I have ever had when dealing with an agency regarding a tenancy. If you have any sense you would avoid this company

I DO NOT Recommend Carter Jonas

I used Carter Jonas to sell my house in North Yorkshire - found them to be very very poor and slippery - strongly recommend you avoid them. The contract they use is unfair - it appears to be infinitely long and had key termination clause info missing. Their valuation "expert" at one point was trying to run backwards suggesting I reduce HIS suggested asking price by £100k. In the end, I did sell the house for much closer to the asking price. When a buyer was found they repeatedly told me it was a short chain with a cash buyer which was a lie. Often avoided replying to my emails, avoiding my calls and not returning calls (In a meeting, on holiday, off sick etc). I also discovered that they chose not to tell me about other interested buyers and had not let them view the property while it was under offer. RECOMMENDATION : AVOID

Superb!

Our experience with Carter Jonas was excellent. We had quite a few hurdles to overcome to be able to purchase our new home and Ed was always helpful and persistent in overcoming the difficulties. I feel we had a great relationship with Ed, he is friendly and was very professional throughout the process. All employees that I interacted with at Carter Jonas were polite and responded promptly to all my enquiries.

Fulham flat letting.

The re-letting of our flat in Fulham has just been completed following a schedule of re-fitting and improvements. Carter Jonas has provided excellent support and advice throughout. We found the lettings staff to be friendly, approachable and effective. We were kept fully informed throughout and the level of service and communication was continued by the admin.team once tenants were found. It is what one would expect from a long-established multi-disciplinary national property partnership.

Would not rent from them again if my life depended on it.

Having rented a property through Carter Jonas and made several complaints regarding the state of the property, there lack of response regarding these complaints was just the push we needed to buy a house. It was only then did I receive an email asking if I would like to meet at the property to discuss repairs. Let’s be perfectly honest this wasn’t for our benefit. Having made arrangements to hand back the keys we took time off work and waited at the property, only to be stood up - yes people they didn’t bother meeting us to do the final inspection or take the keys. This lead to a formal complaint being made and guess what the only call we have received from them was to thank us for the high standard we left the property in and to say we would be receiving our full deposit back - they couldn’t even get that right - wanted bank details even though they’d been taking rent. Anyway a long story short I wouldn’t recommend them, I wouldn’t rent a property through them again. They were happy for us to live with black mouldy bathroom, broken fencing, unusable cooker hob, window seals gone, broken door latches and locks etc etc. oh and this property is owned by HS2 which makes this standard of living even more outrageous. We had a leaking central heating pipe, phoned the emergency number and as water sprayed out through the wall, I was told someone would be out to fix it the following day.

I would like to say thanks to Carter Jonas and her whole helpful staff. specially MADDY as soon we contact her regarding any issue about flat she is straightway on it. MADDY very helpful and try to resolve issue on the spot if incase she cannot do that she make sure that this issue get resolved ASAP. I think personally Carter Jonas is lucky to have very helpful staff like others and Maddy.

Avoid at all costs - AVOID- AVOID - AVOID

AVOID at all costs. Still waiting to resolve and still no response from the below. Nearly 4 months now after handing the keys back. Terrible company.After responding to a request to advise carter Jonas how to help me, still no further in obtaining the rent deposit back. Total delay technics.Completely unproffessional company - Whilst trying to get my rent deposit back, the Senior Building Surveyor suggested, 2 unqualified statements. I am yet to have my monies back, or even paret there of.1, All electrics and data cables should be removed from the floors and walls. Seriously, this was part of the reason we rented the place originally. He had no idea what the landlord required either.2, 2 different cracks that had appeared in entire building was because the decorator had not even visited. I cannot believe he could even suggest this. It was obvious that the old building needing regular decoration, which we did, regularly. It was obvious the decorator had been in. If he thinks he is qualified, then I would check his training certificate, of course after 3 months cracks could appear in an old building. Because of his attitude, I will not be using Carter Jonas for any of my future ventures.I have just sent you an email, after your response. Awaiting a positive reply

Nice experience

I urgently needed to rent a flat when I was required to return to on-site working. Tanya Hall from Carter Jona's Oxford branch was really helpful with facilitating my communication with the landlord and providing useful information about the move. With her help, I managed to complete all the documents and secure the flat in less than a week, which saved me a lot of hassle. This was the first time I used Carter Jonas, and I would consider using it again in the future.
