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!!!!

Carter Jonas were the selling agents for a new build property we bought . Lucy provided a first class service from putting down our reservation fee to completing on the property. She was always on hand with good advice and helped us through what is always a stressful experience with great efficiency and empathy. Lettings manager Kate was also extremely helpful in finding us a short term rental whilst the house was completed. Excellent service all round.

Great experience with Carter Jonas

Great experience with Carter Jonas! Very lucky to have come in contact with Kate from the team who found us a great property and helped ensure a very smooth and efficient transition. Grateful for all her service!

We have been delighted with the service and delivery from Carter Jonas, and specifically James Spencer, who managed our property sale. From the moment we had our first conversation, we were pleased with the speed of response, practicality of the discussions and "does what it says on the tin" approach. We discussed options for the marketing process with James and the solution we worked to delivered a sale within 36 hours - no sign ever went up outside our house. James didn't delegate the small stuff - he rolled his sleeves up, always offered views and was spotlessly on time. Whenever he was out of the office, we were well covered with other team members who picked up the baton smoothly. When we hit a couple of challenges, James was proactive and pragmatic about what needed to be done, and he got on and did it. We have moved often, including around the world, and it is a rare thing to find an estate agent you really trust with their view and delivery - we found one this time, and would use Carter Jonas again and request to have James lead the process. Thank you - it's a stressful process selling and moving, and it's hugely valuable to be working with someone you trust who is professional and organised.

We had 3 independent valuations on our property and were initially concerned as the Carter Jonas valuation was much higher than the others. We decided to go with Tony’s advice and after only 2 weeks on the market accepted an offer just under the asking price. We had to deal with a difficult purchase process, however Tony assisted at all times and we managed to exchange within 8 weeks. We would highly recommend Tony Wright and the team at Carter Jonas Harrogate! Mr & Mrs Harrison

Having had very poor experience with Harrogate Estate Agents recently, I have been delighted with the service and professionalism displayed by the Carter Jonas Harrogate (residential). Not only has my property been sold for the asking price, Alistair, Alison and the team actually did what they said they would do, which is so unusual in this day and age. The entire process has been managed from property details, all viewings and final protracted negotiations. I couldn't have asked for a more pleasant group of people to support through what can be a stressful time. Well done and thank you

I have dealt CJ for more than thirty years…

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

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.

We have just rented a house through the Carter Jonas Harrogate office. The process could potentially have been quite complicated as we are currently living in France but with Kate and her colleagues' efficient help and advice, we were able to complete the whole process remotely with no added complications. We even managed to squeeze in a weekend viewing whilst on a flying visit! Many thanks to Kate and the CJ team.

I recently purchased a flat and Kate…

I recently purchased a flat and Kate Stevens from Carter Jonas was representing the seller at the time, she was new in the Mayfair office, nonetheless she’s responsive, honest and professional. She was flexible and patient when the service providers I hired didn’t show up and I had to reschedule a few times. She made sure I was taken care of when she was in holidays. So thank you very much Kate! All the best.

Very pleased with our experience in renting an apartment in Fulham with Carter Jonas. Kate Stevens was great at setting up multiple viewings and helping out (even after hours) with minor snags. Would recommend!

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

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.

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.

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
