DO NOT RENT/BUY PROPERTY WITH THEM!

Terrible. I cannot emphasise enough how dismissive Chesterston has been toward our moving process. They don't reply to our multiple emails and when they do, the answers are inconclusive and no actions are taken toward our requests. Although it says in our contract the deposit reimbursement would occur in 10 days after moving out, it has been four months without getting our money back. DO NOT RENT/BUY PROPERTY WITH THEM.

Had a really good experience

Had a really good experience thanks to a really great estate agents, my Matthew Gwyer. Other estate agents had made us feel like they weren't listening to what we were looking for and just trying to push us towards something that we didn't want but Matthew was the opposite.Also appreciated not having to go through the process of confirming with bank detail and then waiting for the landlord to "choose" who they wanted to go with. Feels like just another way to give all the power to the landlord and leave the renters out to dry. But Chestertons were the only estate agent we dealt with that didn't do this which made all the difference.

Although selling our house took quite some time (17 months) in what must have been a difficult market, we never felt that we were being neglected and Scott Abrahams and his team kept us fully informed throughout the process. Final completion was much eased for both parties by the considerate services of Jamie Gallagher, whose assistance was much appreciated.

I recently rented a property through Andrew Zohraphos. He was a pleasure to deal with and went the extra mile to ensure everything went smoothly. We were moving internationally and Andrew’s attention to detail and understanding of what was important and what we needed was exceptional. He kept us up to date through the whole process and made the transition very easily. I can’t recommend Andrew enough as his level of professionalism is hard to find

Friendly, helpful, patient team

The team at Chestertons, Pimlico, helped me to terminate a contract with a tenant, sort out the mess they'd left, and then find another tenant. Alina Alexa and James Hall were especially helpful; James addressed all my questions with patience and understanding and Alina helped me follow through some tricky negotiations. They remained positive and welcoming throughout the process.

Chestertons has supported us in looking for a home to rent. Juliette has been particularly helpful, responsive and understanding of our specific needs, even going out of her way to link us up with her colleagues working in different zones of the city.

I would highly recommend Chestertons in Islington. Our sale was handled very well from beginning to end, with a realistic listing price which was achieved in full. Oliver provided excellent service and kept buyer and seller fully up to date at all times. He was a pleasure to deal with and I would highly recommend. Thank you 🙏🏻 …

Thank you Amanda for your excellent service and support!

I am pleased to give the highest rating to Amanda Goodman of Chestertons who managed my property for the past few years. She always responded quickly to both tenants and to myself, ensuring that work was carried out quickly and efficiently. Amanda was always even tempered even under stress and was highly professional throughout. She gave me peace of mind and is an asset to the company. She is without question the best of all the people I have been dealing with over the years.

Our property manager Vanessa has been of great support during the recent two turbulent years with new tenants, break-in in the flat, several minor challenges with the tenants and now check-out and preparing for sale. We have experienced efficient, professional and friendly cooperation in all situations.

Tenancy termination/Property Care

I have dealt with Vanessa for several months now, and I have been very impressed with her ability to cope with all the problems I have thrown at her. She is very reliable, and I do not have to ask her twice about anything. Would definitely recommend

We listed our sale with Scott, who was efficient and helpful with arranging photos, floor plans, EPC etc. Crucially he did a great job of explaining and guiding through different options for pricing the listing, as well as maximising impact during viewings. Their sales team all familiarised themselves with the house ready for viewings. William in particular was quick off the mark getting people in and had soon matched us with a suitable buyer. He did an outstanding job in intermediating negotiations on price. Chestertons were also great in the phase after "offer accepted": they gave excellent guidance on what needed to be done, and helped answer questions from both buyer and seller well. In short, not only were they great on the necessary mechanics of the sale, but they were also really helpful in the help, support and guidance they gave throughout. Thanks Will and Scott.

We just sold our flat through Chesterton's Islington Branch. Guy and Alice were excellent throughout providing us with unbiased objective advice. They were also very helpful in arranging access to the flat which we were very grateful for because we reside in New Zealand. The sale was seamless with no issues or problems and Guy and Alice were happy to help with anything that we asked of them.

Very impressed and would recommend

We have just sold our house with Chestertons and we were very impressed with them. Their communication was good throughout, they were reliable and very hard working, and especial thanks to Malachi Emojevbi who helped us through the process after accepting an offer. A great team and I would definitely recommend.

Great service

I recently had the pleasure of working with Katherine Ma from Chestertons, and I can't recommend her highly enough. From the outset, Katherine was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and responsive. She made the entire process of finding and securing a rental property seamless and stress-free.

Exceptional Service

Hamlett and the Chestertons team led a seamless process to help me rent an apartment during difficult market conditions. Hamlett was exceptional in answering any of my queries both in terms of speed as well as quality of his answer. When there was any roadblock, he kept me informed about the situation and about how he was planning to solve it. Not one issue remained unresolved. I can only recommend working with him and Chestertons. Thank you!

Niema Latif is my letting agent

Niema Latif is my letting agent. I hadn't heard if my lease was being renewed as I wished. This morning I phoned her up and expressed my concern to her.She undertook to contact the landlord to ask him what his wishes were, and immediately got back to me with his proposal for a further one year lease.I gladly accepted and look forward to another happy year in my flat.

As a landlord

As a landlord, Chestertons was very efficient on both the tenant front as well as the paperwork needed for the tax side. Zosia Gray was my point of contact in Battersea/Clapham and she always responded expeditiously.

I can highly recommend Chestertons

I can highly recommend Chestertons! I have worked with a few letting agencies but this experience really stood out. My agent, Jasmine Birungi went out of her way to answer all of my questions promptly, and supported me throughout the process with a smile. Chestertons operates a portal to upload and store documents, see where you are & what tasks you have, which makes it seamless. The move-in went similarly well, with ample communication on availabilities and all.

Top-class service

Top-class service! We'd been going through the stress of looking for a flat for a while until we came across Chestertons. They helped us secure the perfect flat in the space of a day. Our agent Olivia was lovely and attentive. She was there to answer all of our questions (of which we had many as first-time renters) and supported us every step of the way. Writing this from our lovely new home - would definitely recommend!

Great Experience! Stav was so helpful!

We had a really good experience with Chestertons. Stav in particular was so helpful, calling regularly to check on our search for a rental place and read our minds as he knew our requirements had changed before we even had chance to tell him! Stav was very responsive when we were sorting our contract and answered any questions we had. We would definitely recommend him, and Chestertons, to anyone looking to rent in the area. Thanks Stav!
