Thieves not paying for work done at property

Hi there, we’re really sorry to see you have left this review on multiple platforms. As mentioned and after speaking with the team, we’re aware that the landlord instructed you directly to carry out works on their property, not through Chestertons.We have passed your concerns on to the landlord to try and assist, however, you will need to follow up with them directly in order to resolve the matter. We hope you reach a resolution soon and if there’s anything else we can help with, please do let us know.

Great service and attention from the Chesterton South Ken team and particularly Eliza Nissim who was a joy to work with on lettings. Eliza was persistent and very patient, taking all the time necessary to ensure I found the property I wanted and pretty much facilitated every aspect of the process smoothly until I was handed the property. Thank you Eliza and the Chesterton South Ken team.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Speedy and thorough service

Liam was great a finding, keeping me informed and managing the tenancy of my property. The whole process went smoothly. Would heartily recommend Liam and the rest of the Chestertons team at Battersea Rise to anyone in the area.

Rented a flat near Clapham Junction using Chesterton Lettings. Tamara Price was my point of contact in Chesterton. She has managed to arrange the viewing and finalise the offer within a very short time frame. Professional and friendly service.

Chestertons South West Lettings, Jasmine

Jasmine, from Chestertons Kew Letting team, helped us to find a perfect tenant a few weeks ago. Jasmine is professional, patient and good at communication. Our tenant also told us that he thinks Jasmine is great. Thank you Jasmine.

Thank you to Chestertons Barnes

We have used Chestertons for the sale of my flat last year and it took a while but yielded result this year. I dealt mostly with Stuart who followed the progress of the sale and always promptly updated me. He is not only very professional but his duty of care extended to after my husband and I moved into our new property. I would have no hesitation in recommending Chestertons.

They totally had their eyes on the landlord's wallet and not us or our friends when it came to renewing. Why? Greed, plain and simple.Even though we said yes to their renewal offer twice, they still tossed the property onto the open market. They tried to blame the landlord, but we know that's just a classic Chestertons move.Honestly, the worst agency we've ever had to deal with.

Beware their endless marketing spam

Asked for a valuation, estate agent turned up thoroughly unprepared. Undervalued the house and did not know anything about the area or recent sales of near identical houses at higher prices. I chose to use another estate agent. The problem is that they will not now leave me alone, this is a year later! Endless marketing calls and emails and my repeated attempts to ask them to stop have come to nothing. No other estate agent has done this. The latest muppet at the company tried to justify the lack of any option to remove my data from their lists in their email on the basis this was a business email rather than marketing. I look forward to seeing what the information commissioner has to say about this, as that seems the only option to stop the endless hassle from this company. Best advice, avoid them at all costs.

Efficient and helpful service

Chestertons’ agent facilitated a rapid and smooth process of assessing the property and then facilitating the conclusion of terms even though I was abroad the entire time. Sebastian was quick to respond and always helpful in his guidance.

Attention to detail

Attention to detail, timeliness of responses and good all around knowledge of tenant management has made the current dealings with Chestertons (Ann Dickson more precisely) a pleasure. In a sector that has been affected by high turnover, it is once again about good managers which are rare, should be supported and retained. Hope it continues.

Absolutely horrible

Absolutely horrible. If you are considering renting or buy, not this place. We rent a flat from them, they promised to do professional cleaning, and removal of the cigarettes smell when we viewed. When we move in, the house smell horribly with strong cigarettes smell, sink rusted, full of landlord stuff which we were not informed before moving in. We asked if they can do cleaning again and remove the smell, they said its up to their standard and we need to prove they havent done it. We are non smoker and we really hate the smell of it. They also said furniture couldnt be removed as it is not agreed on the agreement. We requested them to remove furnitures 2 months before moving in, and they kept saying they could not contact landlord. Also, there is a car parking with the flat, when we move in, they said the previous tenant broke the fob and so we do not have access to the parking space until we replace the fob. They would not talk to conierge or offer a temporary place for parking. Nothing was done, very disappointed. Complaint process is starting and I might have to seek legal advice on that.

Avoid this agency! Awful experience

Avoid this agency!They are absolutely terrible. Worst agency I've ever dealt with.They charge the tenants with very high fees at the end of the tenancy. Fees which should not be charged. What they do is when you move in they hire an external company (very shady) to do a check-in report in which they purposefully omit a lot of damages (scratch marks, missing screw caps and other strange things like that) that are already there and then at the end of tenancy they say that you have to pay for these even though these damages were already there when you moved in. Photos and videos you took when you moved in don't help because their employees just want to rob you and charge you for something you haven't done.Chestertons agency also keeps your deposit for a really long time (4+ weeks) and even if you clean the flat or hire a professional cleaning agency they still charge you for cleaning (or they ask you to hire their "friendly" cleaning company which will charge you a ridiculous £300+ fee).If you're a landlord - be prepared that they will also charge you enormous fees for their shady check-in and check-out report.If you try to talk to them politely about something on the phone they immediately get defensive and very rude.Please, to everyone who reads this - don't make the same mistake I did and do not trust this agency. Awful, awful experience.
