In safe and experienced hands

Having managed an old property letting for 26 years I decided to place the renovation - much needed - and management in the hands of Rebecca Gee at Carter Jonas . She has project managed extensive work , which , although expensive was done to the highest standards and is entirely satisfactory . She understands completely what is required for a successful letting in contrast to what I in the past have chosen according to my own , perhaps antique , tastes. the work was done in a predetermined timeframe and estimates were adhered to . I can certainly recommend Rebecca as a sound adviser and am most grateful to her .

recently completed the sale of Burnfoot Avenue with Carter Jonas and cannot thank Leo and the team enough for their support throughout the process. Leo was professional, proactive, responsive and always willing to pick up the phone and talk things through when needed. His communication was excellent from start to finish, and he consistently kept things moving during what became a complex and sometimes stressful transaction. What stood out most was that I always felt Leo genuinely cared about achieving the best outcome and was prepared to go the extra mile when challenges arose. His advice was calm, practical and honest, which made a huge difference throughout the sale. I would also like to mention Maddie in the office, who was incredibly helpful and supportive. Nothing ever seemed too much trouble, and she went out of her way to assist with administrative issues and paperwork when I needed help. That level of personal service is rare and very much appreciated. I would have no hesitation in recommending Leo, Maddie and the Carter Jonas team to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, professional and genuinely supportive estate agency. Thank you all for your hard work and dedication.

A lax attitude and a fluid application of the law. Avoid.

I have a property and am due to renew the contract with the tenant in June. The tenant has requested that they pay 12 months in advance as they are unable to provide work references in the UK. We also have a 12 month fixed term contract due for renewal in June. I asked if this was still possible, given the new renters legislation and was assured by the branch that it was. That was a month ago. Yesterday I pushed back and requested that they double check with their legal team and, of course it will not be legal to receive 12 months rent in advance from May 1st. If I hadn’t checked, it would have been June before I was made aware. This comes after the managing agent also instructed the tenant to open my mail when I suspected that something may have been missed by the mail forwarding service. She instructed the tenant to open my PERSONAL mail, rather than apologise to the tenants for any inconvenience and then forward it onto me as I had requested her to do. She then denied that she had done this, despite having copied me into the email chain where she did it and then offered no apology for breaking the law. All in all disgraceful, with a lax attitude to landlords and a rather fluid relationship with the law.

Accommodating, Straightforward, Reasonable

The letting agent we worked with, Tanya Hall, was just fantastic -- a real pleasure to work with. Besides being friendly and straightforward and accommodating in showing the property, she followed through consistently at every stage of the letting process. It was (to me) a complicated process--perhaps we were a complicated case--and Tanya was always there to answer questions promptly, to reassure, and to step in to make sure the process proceeded smoothly when it looked as if it otherwise would not. It was a pleasure and a relief to feel that we were in safe hands, that there was human reasonableness instead of an irrational and inflexible 'bureaucratic system' to engage with--and a great pleasure to find when it was all done that our confidence was well-placed.

Carter Jonas Chelsea and Kensington Office

Our Asset Management company have worked with Carter Jonas successfully over many years and would like to recommend Lajla Turner in the Carter Jonas Chelsea & Kensington office in particular. She is a breath of fresh air, sincere, professional and effective. A rare find in this industry

Carter Jonas Fulham Palace Road

We can't recommend Igor Simonov and his team at Carter Jonas on the Fulham Palace Road more highly. They were extremely professional and not only found us suitable tenants quickly, but also helped us find the relevant tradesmen we needed to get the flat up to scratch.

If you want impeccable service come to Carter Jonas!

I spoke to a number of agents and it was clear that Rupert at Carter Jonas was by far the most personable, efficient and supportive. He was brilliant throughout the whole process, and even though he stood to gain a small commission, he treated me as a valuable and important client. I couldn't recommend Rupert and Carter Jonas more highlyl

Tenants are not treated as 'customers' in my experience.

I'd be positive if I could be, but I feel like a cash cow and not a customer. The previous agents engaged me in rent reviews, I felt like a valued tenant to them and the owner. For reasons I don't know, they were ousted by Carter Jonas last year 'and then the problems started'. 18% rise last year! These agents just assert rises. They set other houses at a high rent, then point AT THEIR OWN HOUSES to argue the prices have gone up. I sent a reply to their rent proposal this year, they claimed my proposal did 'not comply with tenancy law'. They admit market rate for my house last year has come down (the ONS data says so, too), yet they want more rent from me. 'Go figure' ! They like to assert things and don't seem to like you challenging them. Maybe they think the tenants work for them? They aggressively push rental prices for sitting tenants that my neighbours felt they had to leave, and the owner lost thousands when Carter Jonas could not find any renters at the price they were asking, so had to drop the rate again! What a waste. If they'd just had sensible rises, the owner would have ended up with more money and happy tenants!

Ben Glendewar

Ben Glendewar was excellent in managing our property and in organising the departure of our tenants when we decided to sell the house. He kept me in the loop all the time - he has excellent communication skills, and dealt expertly with all the departure details such as deposits etc.

Smooth and Hassle‑Free Experience from Start to Finish

I had a great experience throughout the entire process, from the initial search right through to moving into the apartment. All the executives were highly professional while also being extremely helpful. The agreement signing and handover of keys were completely hassle-free. They also supported me with raising name‑change requests with the local council and energy providers. The team was always available at the agreed times and responded promptly to all my queries. Overall, the experience was smooth and very well managed.

Quality rather than quantity - works for me!

Listed in June, not a million viewers but given that we had an intervening (and disruptive) election and budget the 3 views we had gave 2 repeat views and an offer in August. I am happy to have quality rather than quantity! Also kept us informed of the progress of the sale - a better option sometimes than relying on your conveyancer/solicitor. Helped liaise with the buyer, and finally got us over the line! Happy days and a new adventure on the horizon with our next project house!

Superb start to finish service.

From start to finish Carter Jonas were helpful, proactive and friendly in helping us sell our late fathers property. Whlist the property is in a lovely setting it requires a lot of work to bring it up to todays standards. It was also once part of a large country estate and there were various issues with regard to shared facilities and access rights. CJ halped guide us through the process and came up with proactive suggestions on addressing those sticking points. If their lead agent was away for any reason someone immediately stepped in and ensure progress was not interupted.

Dreadful communication with expensive consequences

I've just had a terrible experience with a Surveyor from Carter Jonas. I asked for a survey for a building purchase. The surveyor said he would do a "Schedule of Condition" This came with no explanation that this was different to a building survey ( I am a layman and not a buildings expert!). When I questioned that the report didn't look like a building survey he accepted that this instruction had come from an internal email and not me. He then returned to do the actual survey and said "it will cost a bit more" and then charged me in full for both! When I questioned it, he then informed me that it was my fault because I wasn't there when he did the initial inspection. No acceptance that he or Carter Jonas was in the wrong despite acknowledging that the error had come from an internal email. I'm now out of pocket to the tune of £1500. Terrible service.

Renters beware

Rental property managed by this company on behalf of Hs2 on moving out half my deposit kept for issues not really fair, they wanted £20 for grass seed! As the lawn had died just one petty example, trying to get repairs done is difficult, they send individuals round who haven’t a clue, bodge job fix with promises to come back then never do, then charges on the tenant for issues that wouldn’t have arisen had the repairs been completed fully. The excuse - it wasn’t reported. Well have they tried their website?? Jobs reported but not actioned for weeks, when the emails are finally read, it’s all about the money and not the customers (renters). Would strictly not rent a property managed by this company ever again. They are not there for the tenants but solely to make money and for their landlords. Rented all my life moved a few times and always got all my deposit back in full. Until now.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Carter Jonas to secure and rent a home, and our experience was nothing short of exceptional. Monika Vickers, in particular, provided outstanding service throughout the entire process. Monika's professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for our needs made a significant difference. She was always prompt in responding to our queries, and her expertise helped us navigate the rental market with ease. Thanks to her dedicated efforts, we found the perfect home that met all our criteria. From the initial consultation to the final signing of the lease, Monika ensured that everything went smoothly. Her friendly demeanor and willingness to go the extra mile truly set her apart. We are incredibly grateful for her assistance and highly recommend Carter Jonas, especially Monika Vickers, to anyone looking for a seamless and positive property rental experience. Thank you, Monika and the Carter Jonas team, for making this process so enjoyable and stress-free!

Fantastic Experience with Carter Jones

The experience with Carter Jonas was fantastic to say the least. Communication and transparency were consistent through out the process. We are so lucky to be in the flat we are in, because of the assistance by Sam and the team at Carter Jonas. Not only did we move into a freshly painted, well looked after apartment, we also have had numerous check-ins since. Very grateful for the team at Carter Jonas

Deliberately trying to put off tenants with pets

I am trying to rent somewhere and have a dog. The new Renters Rights Act should make it easier, but Carter Jonas do the opposite. I was told today that they have a 'huge backlog of pet requests and it's taking around 1.5 months to get permission from a building manager' so no point even asking. Surely that's something that can happen in principle before a property is marketed? I believe they are using delays and unhelpfulness as a way of continuing to exclude tenants with pets.
