Wouldn't even take 6 months rent up front

I think this has to the most judgemental company I have ever dealt with and I'm 54 years old. They wouldn't even accept 6 months rent up front on a property! If you don't fit into their pigeon hole requirements then you aint got no chance of renting a property.

Izzie was very Very helpful throughout the process of showing us the property and filling out the documents for renting it. Especially in tricky times like this she and her colleagues made the process very easy and smooth. We are now renting with Carter Jonas for 3 months and they are responsive to any problems and questions we had very quickly.

Don’t waste your time

We decided to use Carter Jonas as our first estate agents. Worst decision of our lives - they wasted a month of our lives. Having looking at a property on their site , we really liked the look of it and requested a viewing . The viewing went well , I would say that was the only positive aspect. After the viewing , we were told to fill out some forms to excel in our application for the property . However , unexpectedly the estate agent that showed us around the property randomly went on holiday for 2 weeks without giving us any information or warning . Meaning we had to talk to some random estate agent that didn’t really have any idea what was going on. Although this was our only choice so we had to proceed anyway as we really wanted this property. So as told - we filled out the forms and about a week later we were told our application was successful. And they immediately asked for payment which we found odd. We were also told we needed a guarantor as apparently a £800 a month appointment wasn’t affordable between 2 full time workers earning more than enough money to pay . Anyway regardless , we agreed and provided one . Even then , apparently that was still not good enough . After paying for the deposit and having our viewing and being left in the dark for so long we were told our application was unsuccessful because of our age ?? Baring in mind we had a viewing at the very start and the estate agent could see how young we were (19) . We don’t see how she would effect anything if we are both earning and in full time employment? So they’re telling us we will never be able to get our first property because we are too young ?not everyone stays living with their parents until they are 30. If age was an issue why did they not mention that at the very start upon application? Instead of wasting our time and getting our hopes up. It’s just funny how they took payment from us straight away when they already had in mind that they would say no . All in all , our first experience was a terrible one and we will not be using this company again . If you like being discriminated against your age , having your time wasted and getting constantly asked for details to prove you can pay for a cheap apartment, then I suppose this company is perfect for you .

While looking for a home desperately I got introduced to Marina Kimpton at South Kensington office. Might I say it was a real pleasure. Not only she got me the apartment I needed in a couple of days but with the requirements I wanted. I would strongly advice anyone looking for an aprtament to get in contact with her. It was a true pleasure thank you very much.

Buying problems

Updated:I just learnt that CJ did not send their client my 2 page letter with multiple written offers that I provided a link to through the CJ portal. I’m glad I’m not paying them to sell my house., , , , , , Original:Attempted to buy a property CJ were marketing.Put in my offer, they had a response from the seller but didn’t tell me at that point. Meanwhile, they were contacting other people to try to get viewing booked in so they could start a bidding war on a house that had not sold in 6 months.Eventually, I tried to speak to them to ensure my final offer was as good as it could be for their seller, couldn’t get hold of them so sent them an email explaining what was on my mind and why I wanted to speak to CJ.... they forwarded it to the seller without my consent. The poor sellers were trying to sell and had reduced their price, I wanted to offer asking price but CJ were clearly after a bidding war. Eventually abandoned calls with them and used their online “Make an offer” Page With offer, terms, my broker, my solicitors details all there... only to get a call asking what my enquiry was about and then asking what I’d like to offer! Would I sell with them having experienced this side, unlikely, would I consider buying through them... never through the same office.Buying a house is hard enough without worrying about agents trying to inflate their bonus at the expense of the seller and buyer.

DO NOT ISE THIS COMPANY.

DO NOT ISE THIS COMPANY.please listen to my advice, they lie all the way through their operation. I had to pull out of a house move the day I was expecting the keys to my new house with a newborn baby because of the absolute incompetence of FIONA and JESS. It totally ruined our lives. They Lied about bad credit and said we failed the checks WHEN WE DIDNT. I literally have had the worst experience I’ve ever had with estate agents and on top they lied to my guarantors. THEY LIED I promise you guys do not use this estate agents. They lie. I’ve never in my life experienced something so stressful. The day I was supposed to pick my keys up they lied about the referenceing. It passed !! I pulled out of the deal because of their incompetence. Disgraceful and the worst experience I’ve ever had. Please listen to me and do not use this estate agents

Andrew Maddock couldn’t have been more helpful throughout the purchase of our property, from initial viewing until final move in day! In fact he went beyond the call of duty, chasing up solicitors etcWe are very grateful for all the support we had from Carter Jonas as purchasers

Carter Jonas have been excellent letting and managing agents for us for the last few years. Fiona and her team have always responsive and quick to introduce quality tenants, and have been helpful and flexible as our needs have changed. Liz is a fantastic property manager who has managed to fix whatever problems have come up, and kept us and our tenants happy throughout. Highly recommended!

House rentals London

A big thank you to Carter Jonas for all their kind help to find my ideal London flat. In this case I dealt with their South Kensington/Knightsbridge branch, managed by Lajla.Their help was both professional and friendly - always enthusiastic. The staff was ready to listen and give sage advice, nothing seemed too much trouble. I can thoroughly recommend CJ to anyone who is serious about renting or renting out a London abode, large or small.ULLA.

Had a very good experience renting for the first time, being new to it all made the process very daunting but Izzie especially relieved a lot of the stress I had and made the process straightforward and simple, very quick replies and easy to contact. I would recommend to others and would use Carter Jonas again.

I recommend Fiona Bourke at Carter Jonas very highly. Fiona has great marketing skills and was the agent to identify our first and second tenants. She has always provided a very professional service and towards the end of the first tenancy was very supportive in advising how to manage a complex tenancy situation. Her huge amount of experience was much appreciated and she always remains good humoured.

Poor communication start to finish

I’ve never known as estate agents make the process so complicated. Poor communication lies at the heart of this review but considering the business they are in, effective communication is everything. As a vendor, sales or letting, you need to consider your purchasers/tenants experience. A poor experience can result in a real loss of revenue. Go elsewhere

Me and my partner had a great experience with Carter Jonas. Izzie especially had been super helpful and patient right from the beginning. She responded to any questions we had and gave us lots of time to explore further flats they offered. She’s very approachable and her communication was great. I’d recommend Carter Jonas!

We have just rented a property Carter Jonas manages. Izzie is friendly, positive and professional. There was a hiccup initially but Izzie did her best to solve it and we got there in the end. It has been a good experience overall and I don't think anyone should hesitate renting through Carter Jonas or putting their property on with them.

Contacted this company regarding marketing my business premises by online chat and emailed two different offices including head office in London with absolutely no interest five days later. Amazed at how this apparently big and brash outfit can be so useless and disinterested in a genuine enquiry.Decided to go with local company who agreed on a valuation of £650000 and agreed commission of £9000 when premises sellsIncredible to think carterjonas had no interest whatsoever.
