Chestertons SW Lettings have managed our property for more than 5 years now. Gary and his team are highly professional, knowledgeable and experienced in this field and I would definitely recommend them. Liam recently negotiated on re-letting the property and we are very happy with deal.

As a landlord I have used Chestertons for many years and to be fair they have been great. But I would like to say the Rowland went too much more than his pay grade. He worked hard, which is what Landlords want . Good job R.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review - this has been shared with Rowland who is very happy!

TrustpilotChestertons; unhelpful and not friendly…
Chestertons bought the estate agents outfit I originally rented from. They are the most unfriendly and unhelpful rental agents I’ve ever met. First they claim not to have a copy of my keys, which means they misplaced or lost them, not too smart. Then they claim I didn’t pay my rent when I did and have a record/receipt for my bank. Then they wanted to increase my rent by 15% because “your rent hasn’t gone up in 5 years” it’s not my fault 🤦♀️ they send me endless harassing emails when I’m trying to work.
Hi Joan,Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. We're very sorry to hear about your unsatisfactory experience with Chestertons. Please do respond to our request for more information so we can investigate this matter and escelate with the appropriate team. Many thanks,Chestertons

Andrew was absolutely brilliant in finding us a brilliant home! He was very attentive and always available to answer any questions we had! Without a doubt the most stress free move we’ve ever had. Can highly recommend Chestertons and Andrew to anyone!
Thank you for your review! We are so pleased to hear this.

TrustpilotGreat service from Michell
I've been with Chestertons for 15 years. They manage two properties for me. Overall they've been consistently reliable, professional and supportive. I have had many property managers over the years, but my current one, Michell Vasquez, has been particularly attentive, helpful and always executes actions on time. Good to have someone you can rely upon.
Hi Robert, thank you for being a long-term landlord with us. We appreciate the feedback and will be sure to pass your compliments on to Michell and the team. Best wishes!

TrustpilotPositive experience overall
Positive experience overall. We worked with Archie as our agent and couldn’t have been happier. He helped us out with every inquiry we had and made sure we were taken care of. Couldn’t recommend more!
Hi Davi, hope you're well and thank you for providing this feedback for Archie! It's great to hear he was able to assist your with your recent query. Should you need any further help, please do get in touch. Best wishes!

TrustpilotGreat Experience with My First Rental!
Great Experience with My First Rental!My experience has been great from the very beginning, with Mia showing me the house, to the closing process, and continuing with Shakil providing support for repairs and answering my questions after the rental was finalized.I can say that renting the place as a foreigner and having their support was extremely important to me.
Hi Elton, thank you for sharing your experience with us. We're thrilled to hear that you found your first rental through us and Shakil has been on hand for any repairs or queries you've had. Please let us know if you need anything else. Best wishes!

TrustpilotExemplary through and through!
Our experience was honestly second to none! I can’t thank the team enough for handling what was quite a complicated move in such a short space of time. Both our agents (Ben for selling and Archie for buying) were fantastic! There was a real anxiety around buying in this market and in the midst of a pandemic but they, and the team, went over and above. They gave sound and solid advice, always made us feel comfortable in asking questions and of course, showed us the winning property. We had been searching for quite a while so having a team then action and meet us in our enthusiasm for our new home was great. I know people have a few stereotypes for estate agents but honestly, the chaps at Chestertons were brilliant. We would recommend them over and over to our friends and family. Could not have asked for better agents and am so grateful to them for getting them into our dream home!Dare I say it so soon after moving in, but I look forward to working with them again in the future!

TrustpilotUnprofessional and unable to deliver on their service
I appointed Chestertons on a joint agency term for the marketing of my property. Despite all the promises and statements claiming to be the best local agent 'by a country mile', they simply failed to deliver across the board.Compared with the other agent, Chestertons provided poor communication and I had to chase them for any updates. They failed to adhere to proper access procedure when conducting viewings. Upon termination of their contract their sales director acted in an extremely unprofessional manner, leaving yet another sour taste to the whole experience. In contrast, the other agent conducted themselves professionally and produced three offers of which one progressed to conveyancing.So based on my experience dealing with them, I cannot find a single reason why I would recommend them in any way.
Hi there,Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're very sorry to hear about your unsatisfactory experience with Chestertons. Please do respond to our request for more information so we can investigate this matter accordingly.

TrustpilotGood experience until contract stage
I've amended my original 5 stars which I left at the stage at which the rental had been verbally agreed. My old review (which I still stand by up to a point) said: "Lily at Chestertons helped us sort out our dream rental. She got all the paperwork sorted in a couple of days and was on hand to answer all our questions."However, as soon as we got to contract stage, customer service took a nosedive. The contract was amended 4 times and each time we had to sign a new version of about 20 pages, but when I asked for a countersigned contract a few days before our move-in date I was told this wasn't standard practice.Then, when I arranged for a friend to collect our keys from the Chestertons office as we were overseas at the time, we were told that no one was sure where the keys were. This was 4 days after our tenancy had officially started. We were told to try the caretaker at a neighbouring apartment but no one was entirely sure. It took my calling the lettings manager of Chestertons to ask him to confirm where the keys were, a fair amount of time spent calling around, and finally requesting that my friend go and collect the keys from the neighbour's caretaker, before we could get hold of the keys to our new rental.So would I still recommend Chestertons? Only up until the point at which the rental is agreed, don't expect much after that.
Hi Steff,We're so glad to hear that Lily was able to support you in finding your dream rental! Thank you for taking the time to leave this lovely review, we wish you all the best in your new home.

TrustpilotMoving from the USA to the UK
We are moving from the USA to the UK and enlisted Chesterton’s help to find a flat to let. We dealt with several branches & agents, but by far the most helpful was Shannon Kearns. She showed us more properties than all the other agents combined! More importantly, she took the time to educate us about the area throughout the day. We could tell she really has her customers’ best interests at heart and was assertive without ever being pushy. We would work together with her in the future without hesitation.
Hi Scott,Thank you for taking the time to leave this great review. We're so pleased to hear that Shannon was able to offer such a high standard of assistance in finding you a flat in London. We hope that you have found the perfect place, and look forward to hearing from you again.

TrustpilotI have been consistently misled by the…
I have been consistently misled by the local office that looks after Barnes and Mortlake over several years. Originally it was attributed to a turnover in staff and the problem was so big we naturally gave the time to resolve. However, our patience was misplaced. 10s of visits, emails, and meetings, and two years later, still nothing has been done. They have done a professional job of obfuscation and created the illusion of service. However, quotes have been lost, very few follow-up calls, and communication by omission and many, many quotes have been arranged, keeping us busy and under the impression, something was happening, but nothing.
Hi David,We're very sorry to hear about your negative experience with Chestertons. Please do respond to our request for more information so we can investigate and raise this with the appropriate team. Many thanks,Chestertons

TrustpilotVery professional lettings team
Very helpful and courteous service from the Kensington High Street lettings team - Mark and Dean were very good and very supportive. Even my outgoing tenant thought Chestertons was more professional than other letting agents instructed on the property.
Thank you for sharing!
