TrustpilotTotally unprofessional service form…
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.

TrustpilotPrevious review was deleted/ worst agency for renewals
It seems my reveiw was deleted, so here I am writing it again, if this gets deleted know that Chestertons lie a lot of rating so they are willing to hide poor ratings.So I have been a long term let with Chestertons, it seems when it comes to renewal, the only thing that matters is landlords. When they onboarded me they did an excellent spotless service, however the same can’t be said about the extension. So much delays, stress and deliberate dirty tactics so you give up on renewing and instead you move elsewhere so the landlords/agency can increase rent. To give further perspective, they booked an end of tenancy audit date on the last date of my tenancy and I was told to pay for that date because according to their accounts I overstayed despite my contracts and rent ending on 27th.So they changed me for that too, then when it comes to deposit, they will do everything to delay, discourage you. So you give up. I’m really sick of this behaviour, very inappropriate and I DO NOT recommend renting as tenants with Chestertons teams.Either, they think they are smarter than everyone in the room by playing psychological moves or I’m really dumb. It’s definitely not me being dumb though.

Colette O'Sullivan have been instrumental in maintaining my flat at a safe and legal level. She without fail, informs me of what is needed in terms of updating the various certificates for electricity, gas and others up to date, current, thus ensuring we all remain safe and within the law. without her support, I will not be able to navigate all the requirements for a safe rental of my house. I commend her excellence and diligence, a well deserved 5 stars.

TrustpilotChestertons: A Reliable Partner for Property Owners
I have been a loyal customer of Chestertons for many years, and I can confidently say that they are a reliable partner for property owners. As landlord, they have always provided me with good quality service when it comes to managing my Islington house.My current property manager, Marianna Charalambous, is a true professional. She has done a superb job at finding and looking after my tenants, taking care of routine maintenance, and even organizing and managing periodic renovations. She is always responsive, courteous, and efficient.Unlike some of the negative reviews on this site, I have had few issues with Chesterton’s contractors. Generally, they are skilled, reliable, and competitively priced. I have a list of my favorites of theirs that I trust with my property. I hope you will have the same success when you find the ones that are right for you.If you are looking for a hassle-free way to let out your property, I highly recommend Chestertons. They are just what I need for mine.
