Chestertons unethical marketing

Chestertons has now taken to using 3rd party companies to market information and put “Dear Homeowner” as a way of circumventing GDPR. This is intrusive and raises ethical questions about their practice. The purpose of GDPR was in part to stop unwanted marketing by companies and third parties.Since my review Chestertons posted a response to below asking for my personal details so that I can "opt out" which rather defeats the purpose, as they wish to bypass GDPR. They do not take marketing seriously if they use 3rd parties to target people and put "Dear Homeowner".I am happy to provide the evidence to Trustpilot, but do not want marketing from Chestertons. The simplest way would be to delete all unnamed "Homeowners" from their database and have an opt in only.The ICO is the next step as a formal complaint as I never opted in.Even if legal this is unethical and a way of circumventing GDPR. Can one trust a company who behaves like this?

Very efficient service

Very efficient service and quick to find tenants. Mainly dealt with Shannon who is an excellent negotiator and supported both the tenant and the landlord from the start to the end.

Chestertons South West Lettings - Jasmine

We had such a great experience with Lizzy when purchasing our house that we felt obliged to give Chesterton's a go when letting out our place, something we didn't regrer as we had an absolutely perfect experience from Jasmine. She was polite and conscientious throughout the whole process and over delivered in terms of rent and all on a time scale that suited us.Only complaint would be of Chesterton's online portal for documentation. I consider myself pretty competent when it comes to technology but I found it confusing to understand and use. Thankfully, Jasmine would take over and upload necessary documents on my behalf and keep me informed of what was needed. Would definitely use Jasmine again.

I have repeatedly received unsolicitated letters about valuation despite being on MPS. I've filled in the Edit.me website asking to be taken off the list multiple times but the letters keep coming. I've even emailed my local office a number of times and asked them to stop sending me the letters but they seems to be coming even more frequently. The fact that they don't listen means that I would never use Chestertons to buy or sell a property.

Tamara Price recently handled the process of asking my tenants whether they wanted to renew their contract for another 12 months. She did this promptly and efficiently, which is all one can ask. Thank you, Tamara. It's gratifying when everyone does what is required without having to be continually prompted.

Chestertons South West Lettings - Melissa

Although it was a bit of difficult circumstances for me to find a place to live while I was under self-isolation period, especially, in the busiest season.However, one of the Agent in Chestertons was kind enough to introduce me fantastic properties through online visiting via WhatsApp and sending me videos (After the period, she booked an actual viewing as well).Thanks for her kind & helpful assistance, I could decide which place is the ideal one for me and move in a very smoothly after the self-quarantine.Thank you for your great assistance :-)

Chestertons South West Lettings - Sebastian WaltersSebastian was extremely professional and efficient throughout the process of renting our lovely flat in Barnes. He answered all our queries and managed the whole process for us although we were overseas and paperwork etc he managed the paperwork remotely. He also liaised seamlessly with our children to arrange the viewing etc before we arrived. Chestertons are privileged to have such a polite and experienced professional dealing with the lettings in Barnes. Well done Sebastian.

Decisive action over a dispute

When my tenants moved out and left the apartment needed a lot of cleaning, this could really have left me out of pocket. Ryan Briggs mediated this issue with them calmly and quickly, retrieving the money that had been spent on professional help.

Slumlord

Slumlord. Does not respond to requests and treats even high rent tenants disrespectfully and threateningly. I would never use them to let my property and wouldn’t ever wish to be a tenant. Avoid

Giorgio!

Giorgio, was amazing! I couldn’t recommend him enough to my friends. Speedy, efficient and even worked his magic on his days off!I found my new home through Giorgio and couldn’t give anyone a better review. Initially I spent weeks going back and forth, checking the market, making offers that got rejected and then I came across some properties on Rightmove by luck they were just listed, and I saw it was with Chestertons. Most negotiators names I don’t remember as the process can be quite overwhelming, but I remembered Giorgio because he was very friendly and always followed up with written communication on previous calls. I called him on Saturday morning first thing after failing to get a viewing slot with his colleagues and even though he was on annual leave, he somehow managed to get me a viewing that day, we offered and he spent his Sunday calling me to tell me our offer was accepted. Not only was the process smooth, and quick, but he didn’t need to pick up the phone and deal with us on his annual leave but he did. He was so polite, so speedy, and ensured that I wasn’t just shifted to the back of the queue. This attitude by far goes along way, more than any other agent. Thank you!

Chestertons are your typical sleazy estate agents

Chestertons are the managers for a property we have been leasing for 2 years.To start off, they got the dates on our lease wrong, and tried to send us a correction to sign with dates still wrong, and didn't seem capable of understanding the error. not a good first impression.During the 2 years they managed our property, they did absolutely nothing, and failed to locate the spare key on the one instance we got locked out and needed one.After our 2 year lease was due to expire, the landlord would have been happy to continue with a lease without Chestertons (and split the difference of their 10% fee to reduce our monthly rent) but Chestertons refused to allow this unless we moved out of the flat.All in all, just your typical run of the mill sleazy estate agent company who care nothing about their tenants and are just greedy to collect money wherever they can. ugh.

Dawn Cunningham with Chesterton SW was simply amazing. She perfectly understood what I was looking for and came up with an stunning apartment to rent ticking all the boxes. It was the quickest and most efficient process I have ever gone through from 1st presentation of the apartment in the evening (video), viewing 1st thing in the morning and 3hrs later signing the contract.Absolutely happy with the service and can’t wait to move in. Thanks, Sandra S.

Chestertons Property Management…

Chestertons have managed our property for many years. The service we’ve received both in terms of sourcing new tenants when necessary and in day to day management of the property has always been of a very high standard. Liaison with the designated Property Managers, and there have been several over the years, has been friendly and efficient. As a Landlord based overseas, we’ve been very happy with Chestertons service and would recommend the company to other owners seeking a reliable Letting and Management service.
