TrustpilotTamara Price was exceptional
Tamara Price was exceptional and quick to answer all my questions. Unfortunately, the deal didn't go through, but she continued to help us find a new home! Professional and knowledgeable of the market!
Thank you for leaving your review!

TrustpilotGreat customer service
Team at Chestertons have been very good at providing a high level customer service and Hanna Malanyuk, who has been assisting us with various tasks from compliance to arranging works in a property, has been wonderful. She is knowledgeable, professional and efficient. Having Hanna by our side gives a pice of mind and we are very grateful for having her to look after our property. Thank you!
Thank you for the 5 star review, and we are very thankful to have Hanna in the team!

TrustpilotRude and Unprofessional
The estate agent I dealt with was so rude and repeatedly asked if I could afford the flat before even viewing the flat. He assumed I had no knowledge of the current renting market and was very condescending when I told him my price range. When I turned up to my viewing, he dismissed me and didn't introduce the flat at all. I 100% do NOT recommend this place to anyone.
Hi Jacko,Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. We're very sorry to hear about your unsatisfactory experience with Chestertons. Please do respond to our request for more information so we can investigate this matter accordingly.

Have been waiting since May to get some work organised in my flat. Since Richard Parkin took over there seems a sense of urgency and renewed quotes are now sensible and more favourable to me as the flat owner than previously. Five stars are specifically for Richard's help so far NOT a general judgement.
Hi John, thank you for the great review. We are so glad Richard has been able to help and find sensible quotes for you. Should you require any further assistance, we will always be happy to help.

I have been using chestertons for a while and they really have shown so much care and attention in helping to find the right property for me. They are a great team and unlike other estate agents talk to each other in different offices! They are helpful and really lovely to deal with!
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We love finding everyone their dream home so we're happy to hear that this happened for you. Wishing you all the best for the future!

TrustpilotAvoid using this company by all means
Avoid using this company by all means -We lived in a property managed by Chesterton's for a year. In the time we lived with them, we reported issues with the accommodation in the first week of moving into the accommodation, they didn't sort this in the 9 months of us living there. They constantly sent someone out to 'price it up', but never once did someone come to fix anything. Things like not providing keys for the windows to open, bath panels and shower's hanging off the wall. We had 4 different property managers in this time as people kept leaving the company. The guy who came round to look at the property to price up the issues mentioned that the accommodation was that poorly put together that he couldn't believe it. After 9 months of getting tired of nothing being fixed, we decided we had to get out.Once we left, we were assured that we would not receive any cleaning charges if we used their registered cleaners. When handing over the keys, Andrew mentioned that the flat was cleaner than it was before we moved in. After using their cleaners, they still tried to take £160 for a cleaning charge. The individual who has been working on getting our deposit back has been everything but competent, we had to wait 2 months for our deposit to come back. It's gotten that bad that even the property owner has mentioned to us that she will never use Chesterton's again. I would love to leave a 0 star but for some reason that isn't possible.Considering we had nothing fixed in the time that we lived in the accommodation, we thought we'd be able to leave the flat. Instead we had to pay over £600 to leave early.I would avoid using this company at all costs, not only will you have nothing fixed, but they will also try to scam you out of most of your deposit.
Dear Olly, we are very concerned by your review and would like to investigate this matter further. We will be sending you a request for contact information, if you could please complete this.Thank you

TrustpilotRude and unresponsive! Awful experiences
We are renting our flat through Chestertons and the whole experience since we moved in has been shocking. We are constantly ignored when we report issues and have to chase all the time. We have 2 ongoing issues one that was reported 3/4 months ago. We were told that someone called Fiona left and have been dealing with someone new who is even worse. No communication happens internally so when people are on holiday you have to start the process all over again. Would never ever go through Chestertons again
Dear Jasmin, we are very concerned by your review and would like to investigate this matter further. We will be sending you a request for contact information, if you could please complete this.Thank you

TrustpilotAvoid, Not recommended.
I'm an landlord and I have recently signed a new contract with Chestertons for a new tenant. The starting date is set for 25th June, however, Chestertons only informed me when I asked them on 26th June, that the contract didn't commence because they need me to sign some other documents. Therefore, they had to push the start date to 29th June. I had to chase Chestertons all the time. They only arranged me the documents for me to sign on 29th June at 6pm! Both me and the tenants were stressed out on the day. But finally we got all the documents signed. Chestertons pushed the start date by 4 days which is a financial loss for me. And I only found out the contract didn't start because I chased them for landlord statement. I wouldn't recommend Chestertons as your property manager.
Thank you for getting in touch. We sincerely apologise and take all feedback very seriously so we will action this immediately.In order to do this we will need your further contact details (i.e your address) which we have requested. Please accept this request so we can take action as soon as possible.

TrustpilotThieves not paying for work done at property
Hi please be careful of this company and their landlords as work has been carried out at a flat but the landlord and company are refusing to pay. Only £700 but the don’t seem to be sorry or to be willing to pay as they are not replying to calls or texts please other people be careful
Hi there, we’re really sorry to see you have left this review on multiple platforms. As mentioned and after speaking with the team, we’re aware that the landlord instructed you directly to carry out works on their property, not through Chestertons.We have passed your concerns on to the landlord to try and assist, however, you will need to follow up with them directly in order to resolve the matter. We hope you reach a resolution soon and if there’s anything else we can help with, please do let us know.

TrustpilotThank you to Chestertons Barnes
We have used Chestertons for the sale of my flat last year and it took a while but yielded result this year. I dealt mostly with Stuart who followed the progress of the sale and always promptly updated me. He is not only very professional but his duty of care extended to after my husband and I moved into our new property. I would have no hesitation in recommending Chestertons.
Thank you for the wonderful review, we're so pleased to hear how helpful Stuart has been.
