TrustpilotVery pleasant experience
Every agent I interacted with from Chestertons was polite and personable - it made the process of searching for a new flat much easier! Gregor Scott was particularly helpful.
Hi Julia, thank you for your kind feedback about Gregor and the team. We hope the property search went well and wish you all the best for this year!

TrustpilotRidicolous!
Ridicolous!It's the 23rd of November and STILL we are waiting for answers (useless). Everytime I call the agency the property maager is always a) in a meeting, b) on the phone c) in training d) 'He is not in yet'. We such that we bet the answers every time! This is the worst agency ever! Stay far from them! Unfortunately we have to stay with them at least 2 years. Poor us. P.S. Chestertons, do not write any answer to this review. Pick up the phone and do something!!!!!

TrustpilotGood experience working with them
Have worked with Chesterton’s for years. They do a wonderful job of managing a flat for me. Year in, year out, for 11 years now.

TrustpilotExcellent rental agent
Having far more rental clients these days with the lack of stock, Dawn at Chesterons is top of my list to call for any Belgravia search. She is enthusiastic, proactive, professional and gets you into properties quickly before they come to the market. I highly recommend a call.
Thank you for your review! We are so pleased to hear.

TrustpilotAbsolutely dreadful so far
Absolutely dreadful so far. Avoid as a management company! They do not do any work, rather just act as a mailbox forwarding on every little tenant issue and when something significant does occur they say that it is not their role to attend the property and just seek photos from the tenant who has caused the issue. So we are three days on having been told that the tenant has broken the radiator in the loft, causing water to come out and go through the ceiling, and Chestertons have given us no information at all about what damage was caused. What they have done though is ask us what we want to do about the tenants' complaints about Chestertons' cleaners (that we had to pay over £500 for), two light bulbs in a 12 bulb chandelier not working and some dead flowers in a vase. We don't know what we are paying for as they don't act as a filter to tenants, don't deal with any of the day to day minor things and then when something significant occurs, say that it is not their job to attend.Worst management company I have ever used.
Hi Steve, we're sorry to read this. In order for us to investigate this, you should receive an email from Trustpilot asking you for further details. As soon as we receive these, we can follow up on this for you.

TrustpilotProperty Mismanagement
After moving in during the end of September, there were initially a whole host of issues with our flat rented through and managed by Chesterton's.As well as being generally run down and tired from the previous tenancy, such as limescale ridden shower heads, greasy oven hood (despite claims a ‘full professional clean’ has taken place), extremely worn carpets and excessively scuffed up walls.We initially raised the issues on 2/10 and were told on 5/10 that they would send someone round to investigate. A contractor then came 2 weeks after that - around 20/10.Since then, it has been more or less radio silence from the property management team.I just yesterday decided to move my wardrobe in my room from one side of the room to the other. Boy am I glad I did this as what I found is pictured below.I discovered what looks to be a botched disguising job - whereby a wardrobe was placed over existing mould, paint then applied to the exposed section above the wardrobe which was visible, and the rest left behind the wardrobe.In addition to this, the wardrobe itself started disintegrating, due in part I imagine to the damp but also the cheap nature of the furniture.I had been unknowingly living, sleeping, storing clothes, and breathing in a room with rancid fungal spores.Unfortunately, their property management service is either insufficient or lacks any real care, attention, or drive. The Landlord pays to have Chesterton's "manage" their asset and if I were them, I'd be extremely angry and upset that they have mismanaged it so poorly. Either that or the landlord was fully aware and advised them to neglect it - who knows.All that is certain, however, is that a little bit of care and or attention from a Chesterton's property manager wouldn't have gone amiss...Would actively avoid renting through Chesterton's, especially if the property is managed by them.
Hi Charlie, we're really sorry to see you have left this rating. In order for us to investigate further, please do respond to the request we've sent via Trustpilot for further details. We can then follow up with the relevant team as soon as possible.

TrustpilotDon’t waste your time
The worst agency we have ever came across. Each time we call them, they tell us a property has already been let (a week ago, few days ago etc). When questioned how is that possible as the advert has only came out they respond it was let off the market- why put the add on the website then? Absolute waste of time, every single time.
Hi Kasia, we're sorry to see you have left this review and apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused. We do update our systems accordingly once a property has been let but understand that there can sometimes be a delay in this being reflected online. If you haven't already done so, we would recommend registering your details with your local Chestertons office so they can inform you of new listings as soon as they come to the market. We wish you all the best in your property search.

Totally unprofessional service form lettings and property management team in SW13 area. Outstanding repairs and maintenance in the flat since move-in date 5 weeks ago as well as work not being done albeit promised before moving in and also listed in the contract. Too many people involved and no-one is owning up, taking responsibility.
Hi Tina, thank you for your feedback and we’re sorry to hear about the frustration you’ve experienced. We understand your concerns and want to assure you that we’ve been actively working to address the issues raised.After your move-in on 11th January, we promptly addressed the concerns you raised on the 15th January and instructed our contractor, CPS, to provide a quote on 17th January. CPS arranged a visit with you for 21st January. We received their quote the next day which was immediately forwarded to the landlord for approval. Unfortunately, there was a delay in receiving a response from the landlord, and we continued to follow up. We are pleased to confirm that minor repairs were completed by an engineer on 14th February, and the remaining repairs are scheduled to be completed today. We have kept you updated throughout this process and will continue to do so until all outstanding issues are resolved. We apologise for any inconvenience this has caused and appreciate your patience, as we work to ensure everything is completed to a high standard. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any further concerns.

Despite the crisis and a booming property market Chestertons Pimlico offers a very reliable and modern service, especially Leusa Ellis who was able to advise me when I applied for a property and the agency guided me through the whole process. I highly recommend
