GoogleThe worst company I have ever had to deal with. They handed over a letting house to us Dirty and full of faults. They did not look after us and instead when we called for assistance we didn't get it. I would never rent or buy a property from this company. Really best to avoid them to save disappointment.

GoogleEleanor and Jayne at Carter Jonas worked hard to ensure people viewing our house for sale, had all the information they needed and a positive viewing experience. Having secured buyers they proactively supported the selling process by chasing up progression of paperwork, answering questions and managing further visits to the property to ensure the new buyers were happy. Very pleased with the experience, thanks Eleanor and Jayne

TrustpilotOrganised, responsive and highly competent

TrustpilotWouldn'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.
Hi Warren, thank you for your feedback. We understand your frustrations with this situation, and as you know the rental market is particularly competitive at the moment, with each of our properties receiving multiple enquiries and offers. These are then reviewed by our landlords, who select tenants based on their own criteria and preferences, which we then feed back to applicants. We are sorry that you weren’t successful with your application this time around, and would be happy to look into this further for you if you want to send some additional details to feedback@carterjonas.co.uk. Thank you.

TrustpilotGreat Service by Carter Jonas
The process of getting me a house to rent was so nice and I am really happy with the place. I found few issues with things in the house when I came and they helped me really very quickly. The team was fast to get everything sorted and help. I am really impressed with the service Carter Jonas has provided me in last few months and I hope they will keep up the good work

TrustpilotDon’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.
Hi Walid, thank you for the lovely review for Marina and our South Kensington team. We're so glad we were able to help you find an apartment that met all of your requirements!

Her professionalism, dedication and commitment did not go unnoticed, she went the extra mile for us and I am extremely grateful. I would defiently recommend Carter Jonas to anyone selling in and around the Marlborough area. Eleanor you are a credit to the company, thank you.

TrustpilotBuying 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.

TrustpilotDO 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

TrustpilotPoor 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

TrustpilotCarter Jonas Marlborough
We rented a property managed by Carter Jonas Marlborough (CJM) and agree with some reviewers that Carter Jonas may not be your friend if you are a tenant. To be fair, some issues we reported to CJM can also be blamed on our landlord, but CJM seemed to lack the will to get the landlord to fix endless problems. We commenced deposit (two month’s rent!) preservation mode, doing EVERYTHING in writing and always taking pictures. Examples:• Wall-fitted TV aerial sockets did not work. CJM said the landlords used the satellite dish and were not obliged to provide a TV aerial, but we could fit one at our own expense. TV sockets that didn’t work seemed daft, but we decided against fitting an aerial. But the satellite sockets didn’t work either, so we had no TV picture in the house. We paid £220 for a new dish and coax cables, which we did not remove when we left. • The loose step outside the front door, about which we had constantly to warn visitors, on which a friend slipped and nearly fell. We reported this to CJM in March 2018; it was finally repaired in March 2019. • During two cloudbursts, we bailed out by hand the stairwell at the front doorstep, swamped by bad guttering, and saved the house from flooding, without so much as a thank you. Note the theme - expend your own money and effort improving and preserving the landlord’s property but (see what follows) expect no grace for it. After we gave notice, CJM let the new tenant into the house, without permission or arrangement, while we still held the tenancy. To be fair again, CJM apologised and grudgingly reduced our checkout fee, but it was extraordinarily unprofessional behaviour. When we vacated, CJM told us the landlord intended to withhold money from us over (1) the amount of heating oil in the tank - close to empty when we moved in during ‘The Beast from the East’, with snow on the way - and (2) an outside light fitting, apparently broken and removed by us without permission or notification. Our emails (and theirs, presumably) showed that CJM had knowingly handed over the property with a nearly empty oil tank and that the light fitting, having rotted, broken and shorted out the downstairs lighting circuit, had been removed by their own electrician. Cue collapse of stout party and much harrumphing by CJM about how the landlord would ‘not be pursuing’ us for all this, as if their own good work had achieved this outcome. Thankfully, we have emerged from a year of wearying nonsense with nearly all of our ridiculously large deposit. We found CJM careless, unprofessional and nasty when we told them they had messed up. They let someone into our property without our permission and failed to check the facts before making the landlord’s threat to withhold money for things that were not our fault. As the Americans say, go figure.

TrustpilotHouse sale
Excellent advice from Wayland and his super-efficient team. We put the house on the market in the middle of summer and achieved an excellent price despite the economic slow down. You really couldn't ask for more thoughtful and well-judged advice or a more friendly service from start to finish. This office has very strong local knowledge and a great work ethic.
Hi Isobel, thank you for your review for Wayland and his team. We're delighted to have been able to help you achieve an excellent price for your home. Please don't hesitate to contact us if there's anything else we can help you with in the future.

We chose Carter Jonas to sell our property. Ed was excellent throughout the period. I have to say that initially wasn't impressed with the photographer that took the photos. Speaking to Ed, this was quickly resolved and another photographer was employed and the photos were so much better.Our house sold within the first week. From there everything was fairly smooth and Ed was around to help with questions and queries.
