A lax attitude and a fluid application of the law. Avoid.

I have a property and am due to renew the contract with the tenant in June. The tenant has requested that they pay 12 months in advance as they are unable to provide work references in the UK. We also have a 12 month fixed term contract due for renewal in June. I asked if this was still possible, given the new renters legislation and was assured by the branch that it was. That was a month ago. Yesterday I pushed back and requested that they double check with their legal team and, of course it will not be legal to receive 12 months rent in advance from May 1st. If I hadn’t checked, it would have been June before I was made aware. This comes after the managing agent also instructed the tenant to open my mail when I suspected that something may have been missed by the mail forwarding service. She instructed the tenant to open my PERSONAL mail, rather than apologise to the tenants for any inconvenience and then forward it onto me as I had requested her to do. She then denied that she had done this, despite having copied me into the email chain where she did it and then offered no apology for breaking the law. All in all disgraceful, with a lax attitude to landlords and a rather fluid relationship with the law.

If you want impeccable service come to Carter Jonas!

I spoke to a number of agents and it was clear that Rupert at Carter Jonas was by far the most personable, efficient and supportive. He was brilliant throughout the whole process, and even though he stood to gain a small commission, he treated me as a valuable and important client. I couldn't recommend Rupert and Carter Jonas more highlyl

Apathetic

Unfortunately I live in an owned property next to a rental property managed by this agent. In 17 years of owning my property every single tenant has caused me problems, the present ones are the worst yet. In the 15 months they have lived there they have received a letter from Environmental Health requesting they be considerate to neighbours (loud bass music in house and garden) had 2 visits by police and were finally served A Community Protection Warning (which they have breached)

Tenants are not treated as 'customers' in my experience.

I'd be positive if I could be, but I feel like a cash cow and not a customer. The previous agents engaged me in rent reviews, I felt like a valued tenant to them and the owner. For reasons I don't know, they were ousted by Carter Jonas last year 'and then the problems started'. 18% rise last year! These agents just assert rises. They set other houses at a high rent, then point AT THEIR OWN HOUSES to argue the prices have gone up. I sent a reply to their rent proposal this year, they claimed my proposal did 'not comply with tenancy law'. They admit market rate for my house last year has come down (the ONS data says so, too), yet they want more rent from me. 'Go figure' ! They like to assert things and don't seem to like you challenging them. Maybe they think the tenants work for them? They aggressively push rental prices for sitting tenants that my neighbours felt they had to leave, and the owner lost thousands when Carter Jonas could not find any renters at the price they were asking, so had to drop the rate again! What a waste. If they'd just had sensible rises, the owner would have ended up with more money and happy tenants!

Ben Glendewar

Ben Glendewar was excellent in managing our property and in organising the departure of our tenants when we decided to sell the house. He kept me in the loop all the time - he has excellent communication skills, and dealt expertly with all the departure details such as deposits etc.

Smooth and Hassle‑Free Experience from Start to Finish

I had a great experience throughout the entire process, from the initial search right through to moving into the apartment. All the executives were highly professional while also being extremely helpful. The agreement signing and handover of keys were completely hassle-free. They also supported me with raising name‑change requests with the local council and energy providers. The team was always available at the agreed times and responded promptly to all my queries. Overall, the experience was smooth and very well managed.

Quality rather than quantity - works for me!

Listed in June, not a million viewers but given that we had an intervening (and disruptive) election and budget the 3 views we had gave 2 repeat views and an offer in August. I am happy to have quality rather than quantity! Also kept us informed of the progress of the sale - a better option sometimes than relying on your conveyancer/solicitor. Helped liaise with the buyer, and finally got us over the line! Happy days and a new adventure on the horizon with our next project house!

Superb start to finish service.

From start to finish Carter Jonas were helpful, proactive and friendly in helping us sell our late fathers property. Whlist the property is in a lovely setting it requires a lot of work to bring it up to todays standards. It was also once part of a large country estate and there were various issues with regard to shared facilities and access rights. CJ halped guide us through the process and came up with proactive suggestions on addressing those sticking points. If their lead agent was away for any reason someone immediately stepped in and ensure progress was not interupted.

Andrew was exceptional in dealing with both our sale and potential purchase of an apartment (he was the agent for both parties). He could not have done more to try to bring both sale and purchase to a successful conclusion. Great job Andrew and Carter Jonas

Dreadful communication with expensive consequences

I've just had a terrible experience with a Surveyor from Carter Jonas. I asked for a survey for a building purchase. The surveyor said he would do a "Schedule of Condition" This came with no explanation that this was different to a building survey ( I am a layman and not a buildings expert!). When I questioned that the report didn't look like a building survey he accepted that this instruction had come from an internal email and not me. He then returned to do the actual survey and said "it will cost a bit more" and then charged me in full for both! When I questioned it, he then informed me that it was my fault because I wasn't there when he did the initial inspection. No acceptance that he or Carter Jonas was in the wrong despite acknowledging that the error had come from an internal email. I'm now out of pocket to the tune of £1500. Terrible service.

Renters beware

Rental property managed by this company on behalf of Hs2 on moving out half my deposit kept for issues not really fair, they wanted £20 for grass seed! As the lawn had died just one petty example, trying to get repairs done is difficult, they send individuals round who haven’t a clue, bodge job fix with promises to come back then never do, then charges on the tenant for issues that wouldn’t have arisen had the repairs been completed fully. The excuse - it wasn’t reported. Well have they tried their website?? Jobs reported but not actioned for weeks, when the emails are finally read, it’s all about the money and not the customers (renters). Would strictly not rent a property managed by this company ever again. They are not there for the tenants but solely to make money and for their landlords. Rented all my life moved a few times and always got all my deposit back in full. Until now.

We have been working with Carter Jonas…

We have been working with Carter Jonas in Fulham (their office is at 361 Fulham Palace Rd) for over 5 years. Igor Simonov leads the team and Sam Jarvis helps us daily. They are very professional and very helpful. Very important for all landlords - and tenants as well for that matter - they are honest and trustworthy. Over the years we dealt with other estate agents, and were pretty much often discontent. I would highly recommend working with Carter Jonas, Sam, Igor and his team.

Fantastic first-time buyer experience

We recently bought a property through Carter Jonas Fulham and Leo made our first-time buying experience extremely stress-free. With unmatched professionalism and patience, Leo guided us from start to finish. I'd also like to thank Wayland who also helped with this purchase. You know you're in good hands with Carter Jonas Fulham. Highly recommended!

Fantastic Experience with Carter Jones

The experience with Carter Jonas was fantastic to say the least. Communication and transparency were consistent through out the process. We are so lucky to be in the flat we are in, because of the assistance by Sam and the team at Carter Jonas. Not only did we move into a freshly painted, well looked after apartment, we also have had numerous check-ins since. Very grateful for the team at Carter Jonas

Quiet and assured professionalism

Julia Wilson handled a complex and often fraught selling and buying situation with a calm and steady hand. We felt well supported throughout. She was the ultimate professional who made a very stressfull period in our lives much easier than it might otherwise have been and I have no hesitation in applauding her quiet and assured professionalism.

Great Service from Carter Jonas

I have nothing but praise for Helen and the team at Carter Jonas when I used them to sell my house. They valued the house at more than other estate agents and I sold at a great price. The transaction when through very smoothly and I would not hesitate in recommending them. Thanks!!!

Carter Jonas Fulham were excellent

Mandy and Wayland helped me immensely when purchasing my first property. Mandy was always extremely communicative and on hand to answer all my questions, and she kept me in the loop throughout the process. On the day of completion, Wayland was brilliant and helped make a very stressful day so much easier. Couldn't recommend Carter Jonas Fulham more and particularly Mandy and Wayland. Thank you for a brilliant service!

Incredibly frustrated with this…

Incredibly frustrated with this company. They are discriminatory and homophobic. We found our perfect rental property and proceeded to view and submit our application. After days of chasing. Kam finally called me back. She said the asset manager rejected our application as he felt the property was too small for our family.
