I have dealt CJ for more than thirty years…

I have dealt with CJ for more than thirty years under all their various ownerships from the founder onwards and found them prompt, polite, objective, fair and balanced in their views and actions between tenant and landlord. Aileen (Barnes/Mortlake) in particular is a dream to deal with. Always straightforward and very efficient. Highly recommended. T Wakefield

Great service

Great service. We had a nightmare selling our house not because of the buyers that Carter Jonas introduced to us but because of drop outs further down the chain that just set everything back time and again. Throughout the whole process Carter Jonas remained positive and keep us informed every inch of the way. I can't thank you enough guys. We certainly couldn't have done it with out you

I can highly recommend Carter Jonas

I can highly recommend Carter Jonas. I have used them to let my properties for many years and they provide a client focussed service to finding the right tenants quickly and secure the best rent. There have been no issues with the tenants. They manage the process of supporting me to do the tenant change over with great care and attention. They are also a pleasure to deal with.

Wayland and his team were excellent

Wayland and his team were excellent. They are all very knowledgeable within property and very communicative throughout the process. I will definitely use them again. Thanks v much.

We have just rented a house through the Carter Jonas Harrogate office. The process could potentially have been quite complicated as we are currently living in France but with Kate and her colleagues' efficient help and advice, we were able to complete the whole process remotely with no added complications. We even managed to squeeze in a weekend viewing whilst on a flying visit! Many thanks to Kate and the CJ team.

Terrible service and poor communication

Several things went wrong when trying to sell my apartment.The person that was responsible for selling my apartment left the company. They didn't tell me anything. I only got to know this when I contacted the office 1 month after my apartment was listed and I hadn't heard anything thus far.A second point was that I was promised by the agent that they would clean my apartment for free. In the end all they did was vacuum cleaning the bedroom carpet. The rest they then claimed it was a misunderstanding. Does cleaning an apartment means cleaning one carpet only?Finally, they gave my name to several viewers. Who then found me online and contacted me directly. Is it even legal to reveal my personal details to prospective buyers for no reason? GDPR anyone?I ended up switching to another agent. Communication was really bad, and I think that's the base for trust. But trust had been violated already when they fooled me with the promises of cleaning the apartment.EDIT: I sent an email to the address provided by Carter Jonas below but they never replied. These comments here on Truspilot are probably just automatic bots. They couldn't care less about what went wrong.

I recently purchased a flat and Kate…

I recently purchased a flat and Kate Stevens from Carter Jonas was representing the seller at the time, she was new in the Mayfair office, nonetheless she’s responsive, honest and professional. She was flexible and patient when the service providers I hired didn’t show up and I had to reschedule a few times. She made sure I was taken care of when she was in holidays. So thank you very much Kate! All the best.

Very pleased with our experience

Very pleased with our experience in renting an apartment in Fulham with Carter Jonas. Kate Stevens was great at setting up multiple viewings and helping out (even after hours) with minor snags. Would recommend!

Awful customer service

Awful customer service. Been waiting since we moved in (9 months) to have a window fixed with zero compensation. We’re paying extra utilities all winter because a window won’t close. I call up about blocked drains and the response I get is not ‘I’m really sorry all your drains are blocked let us get someone out to check out what’s going on and maybe try stop your gardens flooding’ but instead they say ‘we can get someone there but if you’re putting random stuff down the drain you’re paying for it’Customer service is shocking and they appear now to care at all or trust the people that pay them every month. It’s been so hard to get anything fixed by them half the time it’s been easier to just fix it myself than even try and raise the issue.

Appauling service

Appauling service, can't speak to anyone, no one returns calls or emails and at the end of the Tenancy it's proving almost impossible to get my deposit back despite being told it will be paid in full. Depsite handing back the property in good order and being told I would get my deposit back in full, 6 weeks later I'm still waiting. I kept getting told it was being processed and even got an email saying it had been paid and was in my account (my bank confirmed this was not the case). No one picks up the phone, head office numbers listed on the web site are dead, when you leave a voice mail on a mobile no one gets back to you and I now cant get a repsonse to an email. This is the worst experince I have ever had when dealing with an agency regarding a tenancy. If you have any sense you would avoid this company

I DO NOT Recommend Carter Jonas

I used Carter Jonas to sell my house in North Yorkshire - found them to be very very poor and slippery - strongly recommend you avoid them. The contract they use is unfair - it appears to be infinitely long and had key termination clause info missing. Their valuation "expert" at one point was trying to run backwards suggesting I reduce HIS suggested asking price by £100k. In the end, I did sell the house for much closer to the asking price. When a buyer was found they repeatedly told me it was a short chain with a cash buyer which was a lie. Often avoided replying to my emails, avoiding my calls and not returning calls (In a meeting, on holiday, off sick etc). I also discovered that they chose not to tell me about other interested buyers and had not let them view the property while it was under offer. RECOMMENDATION : AVOID

Superb!

Our experience with Carter Jonas was excellent. We had quite a few hurdles to overcome to be able to purchase our new home and Ed was always helpful and persistent in overcoming the difficulties. I feel we had a great relationship with Ed, he is friendly and was very professional throughout the process. All employees that I interacted with at Carter Jonas were polite and responded promptly to all my enquiries.

Fulham flat letting.

The re-letting of our flat in Fulham has just been completed following a schedule of re-fitting and improvements. Carter Jonas has provided excellent support and advice throughout. We found the lettings staff to be friendly, approachable and effective. We were kept fully informed throughout and the level of service and communication was continued by the admin.team once tenants were found. It is what one would expect from a long-established multi-disciplinary national property partnership.

Would not rent from them again if my life depended on it.

Having rented a property through Carter Jonas and made several complaints regarding the state of the property, there lack of response regarding these complaints was just the push we needed to buy a house. It was only then did I receive an email asking if I would like to meet at the property to discuss repairs. Let’s be perfectly honest this wasn’t for our benefit. Having made arrangements to hand back the keys we took time off work and waited at the property, only to be stood up - yes people they didn’t bother meeting us to do the final inspection or take the keys. This lead to a formal complaint being made and guess what the only call we have received from them was to thank us for the high standard we left the property in and to say we would be receiving our full deposit back - they couldn’t even get that right - wanted bank details even though they’d been taking rent. Anyway a long story short I wouldn’t recommend them, I wouldn’t rent a property through them again. They were happy for us to live with black mouldy bathroom, broken fencing, unusable cooker hob, window seals gone, broken door latches and locks etc etc. oh and this property is owned by HS2 which makes this standard of living even more outrageous. We had a leaking central heating pipe, phoned the emergency number and as water sprayed out through the wall, I was told someone would be out to fix it the following day.

I would like to say thanks to Carter…

I would like to say thanks to Carter Jonas and her whole helpful staff. specially MADDY as soon we contact her regarding any issue about flat she is straightway on it. MADDY very helpful and try to resolve issue on the spot if incase she cannot do that she make sure that this issue get resolved ASAP. I think personally Carter Jonas is lucky to have very helpful staff like others and Maddy.

Avoid at all costs - AVOID- AVOID - AVOID

AVOID at all costs. Still waiting to resolve and still no response from the below. Nearly 4 months now after handing the keys back. Terrible company.After responding to a request to advise carter Jonas how to help me, still no further in obtaining the rent deposit back. Total delay technics.Completely unproffessional company - Whilst trying to get my rent deposit back, the Senior Building Surveyor suggested, 2 unqualified statements. I am yet to have my monies back, or even paret there of.1, All electrics and data cables should be removed from the floors and walls. Seriously, this was part of the reason we rented the place originally. He had no idea what the landlord required either.2, 2 different cracks that had appeared in entire building was because the decorator had not even visited. I cannot believe he could even suggest this. It was obvious that the old building needing regular decoration, which we did, regularly. It was obvious the decorator had been in. If he thinks he is qualified, then I would check his training certificate, of course after 3 months cracks could appear in an old building. Because of his attitude, I will not be using Carter Jonas for any of my future ventures.I have just sent you an email, after your response. Awaiting a positive reply

Amazing team.

Naomi at Carter Jonas has been amazing, it was a massive hurdle for me with selling and then renting and extremely stressful on the selling end (with a different agent I must add) but she made it quite easy for me as I haven't rented for about 18 years. The whole experience with Carter Jonas has been great and I would highly recommend using them if you can.

Avoid they treated me appalingly

I had a disgusting experience selling my house through Carter Jonas.Despite teliing them I wanted to keep my sale private to my neighbours, one month before my move they went round each house in my close, (apart from mine) with a A4 sheet of paper advertising a photo of my home and letting people know they had sold it, therefore disrespecting my need for privacy.Worst company i have ever had the misfortune to use.

Seamless purchase transaction

The purchase of our home was professionally handled. From the initial call, the viewing, and then to the days after we got the keys we were dealt like a partner and the team at the branch handling the sale of the property provided the patience and knowledge with their vested experience to support us on the entire journey of the process. Well done to Ed and the team - they are heads and shoulders ahead of the other local agents by a long margin.
