Good work from the vacates team.

Don't normally leave reviews, but I have to say, Anca Serban from the Vacates team was super helpful during a tricky time with a challenging tenant. Her and her team were understanding, efficient, and know what they're doing, giving useful advice from the framework of understanding people, and also the relevant legal options. The tenant has now left, is themselves satisfied, and all ended happily.

Many years of positive experience

Chesterton (High St. Ken) has rented out my house for many years. I've used other agents, and they have proved the most able to find good quality tenants. Their online portal is useful in this process.Stephanie has been a very helpful key contact at the branch with each of my tenancies. She has provided sound advice and keeping with well informed. She is a credit to Chestertons.

Exceptional Service from Juliette Dartois at Chestertons

I recently had the pleasure of working with Juliette Dartois from Chestertons real estate agency, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Thanks to Juliette, my rental process was incredibly smooth and stress-free. She quickly understood my needs and preferences, finding the perfect property for me. If you’re in need of real estate services, I highly recommend Chestertons and specifically Juliette for her professionalism and excellent customer service.

A truly stress free experience

I don’t usually write reviews but I had to make an exception in this case. There is someone at Chestersons who is truly outstanding and I just want to thank her for all her help this past year…Julia P is the go to person whenever I had any issues with my flat, and she has been truly delightful to speak with and rely on for assistance, ever helpful and always patient with all of my calls to her over the course of my lease regarding small issues that cropped up at the flat…she’s been immensely helpful and kind, and I just want to thank her and acknowledge her excellent work on behalf of Chestersons. Julia, many thanks and I wish you all the very best!

Excellent for tenants

I have been a tenant at one of the properties let by Chestertons for 3 years. Aside from an unfortunate blip involving the letting agent who showed me the property, I have been extremely satisfied by Chestertons' service.In particular, I want to give a big shoutout to Marianna for her impeccable service. Marianna has been managing my property and has always been polite, friendly, and quick to respond. I cannot think of a single difficult interaction I have had while she was managing the property. Thank you, Marianna!

When the flat we were buying fell…

When the flat we were buying fell through at the last minute, we asked Chestertons for help. Here, we dealt predominantly with Zoe Birch. Whilst all staff were great, Zoe stood out. Nothing was too much trouble and when we thought we would have to sleep on friends' sofas, Zoe was reassuring and proactive in sourcing a flat for us and arranging a viewing as soon as possible. Within the space of a week, she had secured the flat for us (a six month lease was what we needed) and we were approved. Once in the flat, we had one small issue with electrics and again, Zoe came through and sorted an electrician within hours of us phoning and informing her. I cannot speak more highly of Chestertons staff in Barnes but Zoe was exemplary.

Very positive experience with team leader Marianna Charalambous

We've been renting through Chesterton's for around a year now. Thanks to our main contact, Marianna Charalambous, the whole process has been quite streamlined and they've taken care of all our issues and needs for repairs (which were organised promptly). She has always been very helpful, courteous, and professional. On the down side, the whole process of being forced to go through the third party company Tenant Shop to set up things like Council Tax, water, etc. was an issue, as the third party company got it wrong and we had to redo contracts - so it was more of a nuisance than help. There should be an option to opt out of this. In any case, Marianna was very helpful also during this issue, so it all turned out well. We hope to keep working with Marianna her for long.

Thanks Joyce and Margaret!

Managed to rent a central and spacious 1 bed flat with ease thanks to Margaret and Joyce. M showed us the flat for a viewing then arranged the letting process for us which went smoothly without much hassle. Since moving in, J has been very helpful and prompt in regards to upkeeping the flat maintenance. This is my first time renting with Chestertons and I am impressed with the service provided, usually don't go for letting agencies but I know I can trust them. Lovely staff, all very friendly.

Thanks to John Ralph

I would like to thank John Ralph for all his help and patience during the sale process. He out did all my expectations regarding what an Estate agent does, and was always available when questions arose and kept me informed throughout the process, even out of office hours. I would give 10 stars if I could.

Response to Issue of oversea Tenant

I was chased in mid July 2023 by Freehold Managers for the overdue ground rent which, based on my records, had been paid. As a non-UK tenant, I expect timely and attentive response or solution to issues I may encounter in day to day management. To my full satisfaction, Xiaoyi FAN managed to find out that the payment should be made in May 2023 failed unnoticedly due to technical problem; and subsequently sort out the issue timely for me. Xiaoyi is professional and works diligently in managing my property.

Amazing service from Bradley Jenkins

Me and my girlfriend were looking for a new apartment in the area and must’ve called hundreds of places to register our interest. Bradley Jenkins was the first person to call us back and his attentiveness to our precise needs is I think something all agents should model! We were quickly introduced to something perfect for us and I’ll definitely be seeking out Bradley again the next time we decide to move!

Scott Abrahams and his team, Kevin, Will, Matt and Guy, have kept me calm and sane through the insane process of selling my family home. I chose them for their commitment and experience and have not been disappointed. Scott is hugely knowledgeable and been very reassuring at the most difficult of times, calming my impatience, It has felt good to know I had a team that had my back as I was doing this on my own. And such nice, thoughtful agents. Great coordination once our WhatsApp group was up and running.

Chesterton have been fantastic in helping us navigate the 2022 complex property market and selling our house. We initially listed with a different Upper Street agent. After a good start and as the market conditions deteriorated they seemed to give up. We got in touch with Graham Stubbs at Chesterton who remained confident our house was priced correctly and should sell. A man of his word, a few months later his team did sell our house with a very marginal discount. Guy Harden was the lead agent and he would simply not give up. However, when his colleague William Robertson came up with our buyer, they worked together fantastically with the support of Scott Abrahams to secure the sale. This was true teamwork we had not experienced with estate agents before. We could not recommend them enough.

We are really grateful to all the help we had from the Chestertons team in selling our flat. In particular Guy who helped us find a buyer and shepherded the whole process, and Scott who supported us when we were let down by another agent in I_S_lington, who with hindsight really overpriced our flat and then lost us a lot of time. Chestertons were communicative (called after every visit), stayed active over the 18 months it took to sell and gave good advice throughout. G & F.

We recently sold our flat through Chestertons and were very satisfied with the service we received. We had valuations from three other estate agents but quickly settled on Chestertons. The valuation was broadly in line with a couple of the others but we felt confident that Chestertons were best placed to deliver it. We dealt with a few members of the team but our primary contact for the successful sale was Jamie. He was excellent throughout: approachable, very responsive to our questions and had excellent knowledge of the local market. There were a few bumps along the road but Jamie dealt with these comprehensively and we would definitely recommend working with him and Chestertons.

Scott Abrahams sold our flat 8 years ago, after a tough journey, so it was only natural to go to him for his help this time when we were ready to sell our house. We didn’t even consider another agent. We began conversations in a brilliant climate. The valuation was given and the property went on the market. We had a lot of footfall very quickly and we received several asking price offers. Our personal agent, Will Robertson was absolutely superb. His intuition was spot on, he guided us professionally through the process. We spoke every day. The market crashed and everyone panicked. But Will kept everything, including my sanity, on track and we are so impressed and grateful to him for his endeavours. Thank you Chestertons! Scott and Will are welcome to stay at our new pad any time! Thank you!

Lovely Experience - Timely & Responsive

I have a lovely experience through many different situations that have come up along the years from several of the great team members at Chestertons including the property manager Jessica! Jessica and team have always been so helpful, responsive, and understanding. Even better, it feels they have a bias for taking action and making sure resolutions are ensured on the best timely basis. I could not ask for more and very thankful to have the help from the Chestertons team as a tenant. Thank you!

I really want to thank Matthew Russell and Abigail O”Reilly who are exceptional staff members. Their care, competence and skills saved my sanity. Previous agents simply did not action any requests.

Very good experience

I have started renting via Chesterton's and found the process very efficient. A lot of thanks has to be given to Rosie Mummery who assisted with the flat finding. She was very thorough with communication and the documentation side. They use an online document portal which is very easy to use and its easy to follow the steps to ensure the process with the landlord is smooth. I will at a point of first contact be using Rosie and her team next time i am flat hunting!
