TrustpilotTerrible experience with Chestertons Fulham…
Terrible experience with on-going property relationship with Chestertons Fulham, please avoid carrying business with this branch.Before signing a rental contract, the staff was always helpful, smiley and responsive. After signing the contract, I have been switched to a huge void, a non-responsive department that does not answer the phone (I tried calling 5 times and leaving my phone number), usually responds emails in 3 business days, and does not solve anything for tenants. In my first day of tenancy, there were 3 contractors renovating the fllor in the kitchen and I was not able to move in on my first day. It has been 4 weeks since I found out that the washing machine is completely out of service (they did not check that before securing the contract, of course), and basically there is no resolution so far. Again, please avoid this company/branch.

TrustpilotUnskilled staff, below poor service
I used Chestertons to help find and rent my current property and their service was below poor. They failed to prepare the property prior to our move in date, despite pushing the date back to ready the flat and when we arrived to a filthy flat they were completely offline and unresponsive. In addition they offered compensation that they were not entitled to offer then informed us we were wrong to be compensated. Horrific agents and I would never use them again nor recommend them to anyone else. If you are thinking of using Chestertons, please seriously reconsider.

TrustpilotFinding and securing a rented property
Trying to select and secure a rented property from an overseas location and without the ability to view, other than online, is fraught with difficulties and potential pitfalls. However, thanks to help from the team at Chestertons St Johns Wood at every step in the process, we managed to find a property that met all of our criteria and then went through the quite demanding process of identity and financial checks, eased by the help of Megan and Luana in particular. It was a friendly, efficient and first rate service from all at Chestertons.

TrustpilotDisgraceful!
It has been nine months since we moved into the flat, and we are still waiting for some maintenance, not to mention a refund for a storage that we had to pay back in September as the flat, precisely, wasn't ready. We have been through three different property managers, and still we are not getting the right service. Disgraceful!

TrustpilotI have to write a negative review for…
I have to write a negative review for Chestertons because their service is so poor, unprofessional and bad(I want to use other words and I think "unprofessional and bad" is probably an understatement. I have gone back and forth with Chesterton on this for so many times and yet they randomly added another fee of £180 and deducted that money from my rental income. This is like 3rd time. Previous two times I have spent months to get those money back and this time again. As expected, no response from Chestertons. God knows how long this will take to get my money back. In addition, Chestertons actually have no property manager, when I ask, everyone is saying someone else need to look into this matter for me.

TrustpilotOutrageously bad
Do you think paying £300 plus to change a fire alarm is reasonable? Do you believe you should be paying for the cleaning of a flat you don't own? Is two weeks a reasonable response time to answer an email? If you've answered YES to any of those questions, then Chesterton's is for you! This agency is so useless, so incompetent, and rips you off SO shamelessly, I'm shocked they have such a good rating. We used them as managers of our flat for nearly a year and deeply, deeply regret our decision. AVOID these incompetents at all costs!

TrustpilotSubpar property management service
We're currently renting a property which is managed by Chestertons. Unfortunately, we have had a terrible experience with them in regard to some issues that needed resolving in the bathroom.One contractor sent by Chestertons took five visits and approximately 16 hours to install a bath shower and redo some tiling in the bathroom, while another needed 8 visits to fix the toilet and redo some other tiling. These jobs are taking a suspiciously long time to resolve - to the point it feels like they are doing it on purpose so they can extract as much money out of the poor, unsuspecting landlords as possible, while at the same time causing massive inconvenience for tenants. It almost feels like Chestertons are willfully allowing this to happen. This is not an acceptable property management service I'm afraid. Chestertons haven't even bothered to come to our apartment to assess their work.All landlords beware.

TrustpilotWorst experience in my life
Worst experience in my life. Unreliable and fraudulent. I took a short term let. After signing the contract and paying advance, they ask me for more money in addition, without a receipt. I send total payment in two payments because my bank did not allow me to make such a large transfer. I send both transfer copies in an official document with CRO. One payment arrives, the other one does not by the weekend. They do not give me the keys. My lawyer is getting me a full refund. Never go to scoundrels like them. Be careful.
Marco · 30 September 2022
Agent replied · 25 October 2024
Hello Marco, we’ve spoken with the short lets department and they’ve explained that the full rent needed to be paid in advance of you moving in, and this was explained to you before signing your contract. On the day of move in you hadn’t transferred half of the money you owed and as such the keys couldn’t be released to you. The money from your bank arrived today and you collected keys.

TrustpilotWORST RENTAL EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE:
Dealing with Chestertons was the most frustrating and time-wasting thing I have ever been through. My flatmates and I put in an application for a property through Chestertons, this got all the way through to the point of receiving our Offer Letter. Then the day that I was expecting to receive an email with our Lease Agreement to sign, the Agent called me up to say the landlord sold the property. First of all, he lied to me and acted as if he had no idea the landlord was selling behind the scenes, a quick google search showed me that in fact it was up for sale on the Chestertons website. Secondly, the Agent knew that I had turned other properties for this one and should have been honest from the start about the intention to sell as now we have missed out on the other opportunities as the application process took two weeks. Thirdly, we had already paid our 50% deposit as well as reference fees which the Agent assured would be transferred back in full immediately. Upon following up (which I had to do multiple times because the Agent was simply unresponsive) I was told the transfer had been made but would take 3 days, UNREASONABLE as my transfer to them was able to go through on the same day. Then when I asked to see proof that the transfer was made, I was promised an email with that proof which should be an immediate email if the transfer was in fact already made, this was never sent to me. I am still in the process of finding out where our deposit is and when we will get it back. This is completely unprofessional on their part and they have made no attempt to appease me and my flatmates after lying to our faces, wasting two weeks of our time, taking our money and then making it difficult to get it back. I will NEVER deal with Chestertons again, nor would I EVER recommend them to anyone.

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.
