Shanze got it done!

Shanze was on game for getting stuff sorted. She was quick to respond & did as promised. Problem with smoke alarm in flat solved.

Excellent service

I have rented my flat out with Chestertons/James Pendleton for a number of years. Their property manager Sam is outstanding and has made renting the flat out very straightforward. He is brilliant at managing problems or sorting things out if they go wrong at the property - always very quick to respond and works hard to ensure that I pay a reasonable but not extortionate amount for products and services if required.The wider lettings team are usually very responsive and quick to sort out marketing material, contracts etc when there is a change in tenants.

Fast and easy

It was my second time reaching out to Chestertons for assistance about the property which turns out to be fast and efficient about solving any queries and issues. I am with Cheneal first on the phone who assisted me to my queries, later on Karen reached on me too through whatsapp then followed by Elaine my property manager through another phone call.

I am really really delighted at Amy's customer service and support and care. She is very professional, she showed us a property yesterday and my colleague and I were amazed at her wonderful manners. She is patient, has eloquent English, she explains everything thoroughly, we could write an essay to express our content in being so well served by Amy. Lovely girl, she deserves success in her career. Thank you Amy Tanzer. You made our day. 😀

With a busy schedule and specific requirements, I needed an agent who could make the flat-hunting process quick and seamless, and Waad delivered perfectly! She was incredibly attentive, responsive, and focused on finding a place that met all my needs. Her knowledge of the neighborhoods and the flats she showed made the entire experience stress-free. If you’re looking for an agent who understands the needs of professionals, Waad is the one to call. Highly recommend!

Confident professional letting service

I've been using Chestertons as my letting agency for some 4 years now. I am happy with the services. They make sure I follow the rules and legislations, sort all property management out, deal with the tenants for me etc. Meaning that I do not need to lift a finger ever really.My new property manager Michell Vasquez is forthcoming, easy to communicate with, fast at responding and generally professional.

Would not use Chestertons again

Would not use Chestertons again. Very bad experience. Lack of transparency, fees and costs. Found them unprofessional in not taking responsibility for their own mistakes, subsequently costing me more money, as a landlord. Will not be providing Chestertons with any further business, with any of my properties in sales or rentals after this very disappointing, dishonest experience.

Thank you Saskia and Gemryan

Saskia is really professional and helpful. She helped me to take a video of my preferred house and explained everything about the property specifically. I am so grateful to have rented this house successfully. At the same time, she is kind-hearted as she helps my moving company to open the door without any hesitation. I want to thank her 100 times.Additionally, I also want to thank Gemryan. He is always patient and listens to me even though my English is not fluent. Thank you, all my friends.

My recent dealings with Chestertons…

My recent dealings with Chestertons were an absolute shambles! I needed to renew the current tenancy agreement ant the end of June and was advised it was in my best interests to form a new agreement rather than roll on the existing one. Because flat is in my recently deceased husbands name, I was asked to forward a copy of his will with details of the executors. I duly sent this , then was asked for a death certificate, then later a letter from a solicitor, which I didn’t feel was necessary as probate had been granted. I was then asked for the probate certificate which was duly sent. When I queried why the rent hadn’t been put into the bank account I was told we needed a new gas safety certificate which I immediately organised. I still didn’t receive the rent which the tenant had paid to Chestertons on 29th June and it was now nearly mid July. I eventually was put through to the accounts department after promises from different other operatives to chase up and sort out the problem which didn’t materialise.The accounts department were helpful and paid the money within 48 hours.Why couldn’t the relevant departments ask for all the documents needed at the same time instead of each time I rang to see why there was no progress?I really didn’t need all this hassle whilst coping with the recent loss of my husband.To make matters worse, I was then told you didn’t hold a current EICR certificate. Again I had to research and found the certificate was still in date . I relayed this information , but yet again was asked to forward a copy because there wasn’t one on the file. Why was the onus on me when there was obviously some departmental error?Just to cap it all I have now been issued with an invoiceasking for your whole years charges up front which I don’t have the funds for and you don’t accept credit card payments.As the July rent was paid net of your charges I assumed this was how it would be paid going forward.I now feel I just want to put the flat on the market as soon as possible so I don’t have to deal with any more issues like this.Marian Walker

Marian · 5 August 2024

Agent replied · 22 October 2024

Dear Mrs Walker, firstly please accept our sincere condolences for the loss of your husband. We have had time to review the file and we can see that there were additional documents that we legally required in order to complete the renewal of the Tenancy. Unfortunately when there is a death of a Landlord, we do have complete our due diligence checks as well as ensuring all the safety compliance documents are up to date. We are very sorry that this caused you unnecessary upset, this was never our intention.With regards to the fees charged, we have checked this with the accounts team and they have confirmed that these have been deduced in accordance with our Terms of Business; although on this occasion, it’s been invoiced monthly and deducted from the rent received and not in advance as you have advised. We would be very happy to have a further discussion regarding this to explain the statement if required.If you would like to discuss further, please do reach out to us and we can assist you wherever possible.

Excellent professional service

We recently sold our Kensington house through Chestertons after they gave us a very good valuation and effective sales strategy compared to a number of other agents in a less than straightforward market. Ian, who heads up the Kensington sales team and Basil were reassuringly brilliant with managing the process (faultless in fact!) and even exceeded our expectations on the final price achieved. They have a proper grasp of market activity and tendancies and we found them friendly, efficient and extremely professional throughout which in turn ensured a swift sale and completion. Their expert advice and communication was spot on. We would highly recommend the team and would not hesitate to use their services again.

Chestertons for tenancy management

I have used Chestertons for finding tenants for my property, and managing the tenancy and property maintenance issues. They have served me well for a number of years. They always acted well particularly with end of tenancy matters and timely action to find new tenants. They have also been able to deal with new tenants snag list in a reasonable manner.I have always been allocated a dedicated property manager manager. My current manager Shakil Khan has been able to handle a number of maintenance issues involving several suppliers to my satisfaction. The other benefit of using Chestertons is that they have a number of staff who can quickly step in to cover leave absences etc for the dedicated team.

Vanessa at Chestertons is amazing!

Vanessa Newman-Wright, who manages the property on behalf of the landlord, has been amazing. Over the last year, both our washing machine and fridge have required replacing, and Vanessa has followed up with the landlord on both occasions promptly, causing us minimal disruption. Vanessa also recommended some additional works in the house after an inspection, which again was completed quickly. Vanessa was put in charge of the property we rent approximately six months into the tenancy. Since then, our experience with Chestertons has been great.

Professional, polite / courteous and quick

Just completed a lease renewal with one of their senior consultants (Niema Latif).Been dealing with Chestertons the last several years as they handle my lease. But can say on hand on heart that this was by far one of the quickest, most polite and professional renewals I have had. Niema was very quick to respond, very polite and extremely professional; my questions / concerns were communicated to the landlord swiftly and correctly and all was completed in a very short time.So a definite thumbs-up from me.

Potential Scam, Do NOT Use This Agency!

I have dealt with five different landlords and agencies in the last eight years, and I can say this has been the most traumatic experience.When we went to see the property, the flat was full of boxes and suitcases, and the agent said everything would be repainted, repaired, and deep cleaned before the new tenant moved in, as they had one week to do this from the end of the former tenancy to our start date.As they had really good comments on Google and here, we believed they were a serious agency.After we showed our interest, the agent almost harassed me to pay the holding deposit without sending me any conditions or a contract draft. In the end and after received the draft, we paid, and then I had to chase him to close the deal. (Mitchell)We also had some drama and miscommunication regarding collecting the keys. I agreed he would leave them with the concierge, but then the agency expected me to go to their office to get them because the agent was on holiday. In the end, they managed to send someone to give me the keys, and he was so nice that even though it was not his deal, he was there waiting for me.so i received the keys in the parking area, without inventory and no one to come with me and check the flat. When I went into the flat, I found an absolute disaster. Everything was filthy. The dishwasher had a pond at the bottom, and it looked like it had overflowed because I even found a piece of cooked pasta stuck to the floor and the dishwasher. I opened the washing machine assuming it was empty, and water flooded the kitchen. Most of the furniture was broken.I reported this to the agency immediately on a Friday, and they replied only with what they wanted. For example, they suggested I could clean the filters in the washing machine or order keys from Amazon to get access to the meter readers, but ignore everything else. Even, ehen i have request a visit twice. I've spent three nights in the flat, and I already need to spend a day waiting for the engineer to check the washing machine. And here I am, still waiting for answers to all the other problems.All this drama for a flat in Battersea for £2300, so it's not like I found a bargain.i think they paid for those positives reviews

Honest review

We had a very bad experience at the beginning of our tenancy with Chestertons. The communication was poor, with our emails often receiving slow or nonexistent replies. The technicians hired by Chestertons were dreadful, frequently failing to show up and making excuses. For example, our washing machine broke and wasn’t fixed for three months.However, our experience improved significantly when we got a new property manager, Joyce Pau, later in the year. Joyce was brilliant, she communicated effectively and ensured that things got done promptly. Joyce would receive 5 stars, but unfortunately, the rest of our experience with Chestertons would only get 1 star.

I would like to thank Stephanie Russo for her support in letting out our flat. She has find the right tenant, convinced us to rent through Chesterton and facilitate a smooth process taking into account it was our first time renting our property.
