GoogleMartina has gone above and beyond in helping me to find a suitable property, couldn’t have asked for a more supportive representative! Kept in touch the whole time, direct and straight forward and a friendly voice on the phone.
Hi Rimah, thank you for the great review and sharing your experience with Martina. We appreciate the support and wish you all the best!

TrustpilotAttention 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.
Hi Ilir, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're delighted to read that Ann and the team provided a first-class service for you. Should you need anything further, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

TrustpilotBeware 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.

TrustpilotEfficient 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.
Thank you for sharing!

TrustpilotAbsolutely 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.

TrustpilotAvoid 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.

TrustpilotScam artists - Took our holding deposit, ignored us, left us without a place to live, lied to us and didn’t refund deposit.
Chestertons told us the landlord had accepted our offer and that we should pay a holding deposit. Then ignored us for days, only to contact us to say that the landlord had decided to go with a lower and worse offer, because Chestertons hadn’t done their job. They then lied to us that they had contacted the landlord (Chestertons had initially said they couldn’t do their job properly because they couldn’t get hold of the landlord) and they didn’t want to negotiate, and decided to go with an offer lower than ours. No landlord on earth would ever accept worse terms and less money. Chesterton staff will take your money then lie to you, will waste your time and leave you at risk of becoming homeless. They clearly are of no benefit to landlords either if they don’t communicate properly or pass on money paid to them by tenants/prospective tenants. If this is how they do lettings, I can only imagine how they mess the lives and waste money of those buying property (where the stakes and values are much higher) with them. Avoid these scam artists.

TrustpilotAmazing experience with Chestertons
My wife and I were looking to rent a 2 bed and came across a beautiful listing by Chestertons. It fit our budget and our overall expectations. We had Lauren Christy from the Chestertons team who supported us through the entire process and was super quick and responsive to any of our queries. Glad we had someone like her to guide us through the entire process. I would surely recommend Chestertons to anyone looking out for a property.
Thank you for sharing Harshan!

GoogleWe had a very good experience selling our house with Chestertons. Whilst their initial valuation was slightly too high which meant that it took a while to get some meaningful viewings, the feedback received was always open and honest. Upon dropping the price and getting a sale agreed, our agent Guy was very professional and helpful, always on hand whenever we had any questions (responding immediately) and ensuring we were always kept up to date on the progress of the sale. He was a calm presence in a pressured situation and was clearly dedicated and keen to make sure the sale went through. Would have no hesitation in recommending.

GoogleThese guys are an absolute joke. Maybe it’s a post covid hangover, but it’s pretty clear this outfit expects to still get paid full rates for absolutely minimal work. Very poor service with a total disregard of customers. I’ve been trying to let with these guys and either there provide no response to emails or if you do connect it’s just an opportunity for Chesterton’s to collect all your data including your mother’s maiden name. If you are a landlord or a seller, your money is going down the drain.NegativeResponsiveness, Professionalism

TrustpilotWorst experience with renting
I have rented with Chestertons and I wouldn't do it again nor recommend it to anyone. The post renting process/ client support is close torture, with lengthy times, lack of reply, and no solutions - e.g., our house pipes were broken for the full 1st month of renting, and we needed to call Chestertons every day until we had a solution for the problem because no one there was able to solve it. This happened with other aspects of the tenancy.The organization is super bureaucratic and not flexible, we tried to change tenants - a common process, amending the contract - at the end of the 1st year of tenancy, and Chestertons refused to amend, allow for sublet or any solution, justifying it with "this is not our process". Additionally also refused to do a short-term agreement, because, and I quote - "our minimum is 6 months" - even though it fitted both the tenants' and landlord's needs.I study with 500 other people and never heard about an experience that was so bad with a renting agency

GoogleAvoid at all costs. Rented us a propeety with a broken boiler then failed to resolve for 3 months during the winter with a newborn in the house. Then had an illegal installation of a boiler by an unqualified person and denied any liability when i queried them on it. Then failed to carry out any pre tenancy works. When we pushed back they ignored all claims of liability and the landlord had to step in to clear up the mess. Acted without morals or professionalism throughout. Never encountered such a poor operation. Do not rent via this business.
