Vanessa at Chestertons is amazing!

Vanessa Newman-Wright, who manages the property on behalf of the landlord, has been amazing. Over the last year, both our washing machine and fridge have required replacing, and Vanessa has followed up with the landlord on both occasions promptly, causing us minimal disruption. Vanessa also recommended some additional works in the house after an inspection, which again was completed quickly. Vanessa was put in charge of the property we rent approximately six months into the tenancy. Since then, our experience with Chestertons has been great.

Professional, polite / courteous and quick

Just completed a lease renewal with one of their senior consultants (Niema Latif).Been dealing with Chestertons the last several years as they handle my lease. But can say on hand on heart that this was by far one of the quickest, most polite and professional renewals I have had. Niema was very quick to respond, very polite and extremely professional; my questions / concerns were communicated to the landlord swiftly and correctly and all was completed in a very short time.So a definite thumbs-up from me.

Potential Scam, Do NOT Use This Agency!

I have dealt with five different landlords and agencies in the last eight years, and I can say this has been the most traumatic experience.When we went to see the property, the flat was full of boxes and suitcases, and the agent said everything would be repainted, repaired, and deep cleaned before the new tenant moved in, as they had one week to do this from the end of the former tenancy to our start date.As they had really good comments on Google and here, we believed they were a serious agency.After we showed our interest, the agent almost harassed me to pay the holding deposit without sending me any conditions or a contract draft. In the end and after received the draft, we paid, and then I had to chase him to close the deal. (Mitchell)We also had some drama and miscommunication regarding collecting the keys. I agreed he would leave them with the concierge, but then the agency expected me to go to their office to get them because the agent was on holiday. In the end, they managed to send someone to give me the keys, and he was so nice that even though it was not his deal, he was there waiting for me.so i received the keys in the parking area, without inventory and no one to come with me and check the flat. When I went into the flat, I found an absolute disaster. Everything was filthy. The dishwasher had a pond at the bottom, and it looked like it had overflowed because I even found a piece of cooked pasta stuck to the floor and the dishwasher. I opened the washing machine assuming it was empty, and water flooded the kitchen. Most of the furniture was broken.I reported this to the agency immediately on a Friday, and they replied only with what they wanted. For example, they suggested I could clean the filters in the washing machine or order keys from Amazon to get access to the meter readers, but ignore everything else. Even, ehen i have request a visit twice. I've spent three nights in the flat, and I already need to spend a day waiting for the engineer to check the washing machine. And here I am, still waiting for answers to all the other problems.All this drama for a flat in Battersea for £2300, so it's not like I found a bargain.i think they paid for those positives reviews

Honest review

We had a very bad experience at the beginning of our tenancy with Chestertons. The communication was poor, with our emails often receiving slow or nonexistent replies. The technicians hired by Chestertons were dreadful, frequently failing to show up and making excuses. For example, our washing machine broke and wasn’t fixed for three months.However, our experience improved significantly when we got a new property manager, Joyce Pau, later in the year. Joyce was brilliant, she communicated effectively and ensured that things got done promptly. Joyce would receive 5 stars, but unfortunately, the rest of our experience with Chestertons would only get 1 star.

A big thanks for Stephanie Russo

I would like to thank Stephanie Russo for her support in letting out our flat. She has find the right tenant, convinced us to rent through Chesterton and facilitate a smooth process taking into account it was our first time renting our property. Unfortunately, our tenant had to terminate the tenancy agreement 6 months earlier. One again, she had been extremely helpful supporting us through terminating the contract and finding new tenant. Great support throughout !

I am writing this review as a thank you to Davide Frongia who managed to resolve an issue that I had been trying to resolve for some time. Davide took personally ownership of the issue and mapped out how we would proceed and then executed the plan to my satisfaction. Thank you Davide for being able to resolve this issue for me and allowing for my experience with Chestertons to be be a positive one! Kindest regards

Outstanding Rental Service Experience with Katherine Ma

I had the pleasure of working with Katherine Ma for my recent apartment search, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the service she provided. Katherine was incredibly patient, professional, and enthusiastic throughout the entire process. She went above and beyond to ensure that I had all the information I needed and answered all my questions promptly. Her dedication and support were invaluable, and I highly recommend her to anyone in need of rental services.

Having had several dealings over the years with agents in East Sheen I can truly say that Chestertons far and away outdo all of their local competitors. Their professionalism and customer service was second to none. These qualities coupled with their exceptional local knowledge led by Sarah puts them at the pinnacle of other agents in and around the local area. I would not have a moments hesitation in recommending them.

A great process end-to-end

Chestertons in Fulham recently helped us find a new place to live. Issy - who was our rep - shared places that were relevant and was always able to work around our schedule to view them. She took our brief and was spot on each time with her recommendations - with other agents, we wasted a load of time in viewings that were far off - conversely we offered on 2/2 of the places we viewed with Issy.When a place came up we loved, Issy moved quickly to help us secure it, arranged second viewings to help the move-in and stayed close to the work happening / needed to make sure it was done. Any challenges that came up, Issy was on top of and solved quickly, usually with 24h.We were always made to feel like we were a priority for Issy and it’s been great working with her throughout the process.

Thank you Catherine and Simon

Our property manager was Catherine Whaley. She accommodates all our maintenance requests and other queries and responds efficiently. We had such a delightful time during our tenancy thanks to her assistance. We would also like to thank Simon for assisting us on our flat-hunting journey, he provided multiple options within our parameters very efficiently and coordinated the viewing date to make it extremely convenient for us to compare and make the decision.

Efficient, reliable and friendly.

The team at Pendletons seem very organised; Lorna was great helping me to find and secure an apartment and Suzan made sure the moving in process was smoothly handled. To be honest I initially thought the slogan "you can depend on Pendletons" was a little on the cheesy side, but I did feel I could depend on them! Also, Rebecca, who handled the inventory on moving in, was completely awesome and genuinely interested. Would highly recommend.

Furniture in contract not in flat

We moved into a property in the area and it was a complete shambles. After speaking to George Porter at Chestertons, we were assured it would be fully furnished, but when we arrived, furniture promised in the flat, such as a sofa, was simply not there when we arrived due to previous tenants taking it with them. We were offered a small compensation amount, and when we spoke to Hannah Al-Sayyah Marla and explained it did not simply cover the costs, she threatened to hold the money they offered.AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Super positive experience from our property manager, Samuel

We’ve had a really positive experience with Chestertons, particularly with Samuel as our property manager. From the beginning, he has been incredibly responsive, attentive, and considerate throughout the move-in process. He was always quick to answer questions, provide updates, and assist with any issues that came up, which made settling into a new apartment and moving countries much less stressful.

Amanda Goodman from Chestertons has been a great help all through my tenancy swap process.Even though the process became tiresome due to various reasons out of our control, she kept her calm. She explained everything to me clearly even after me calling her like 10 times in a day! We were finally able to finish the swap and all thanks to Amanda for being on top of everything.

Scamming renters and owners alike

Kara Bluitt and her team at Chestertons Fulham clearly cannot resist the temptation to take money that isn't theirs. They tried to just skim a few hundred pounds out of our deposit for no reason. When confronted with the fact that the "defects" they were keen to charge us for were actually detailed as pre-existing in the check-in inventory, they wouldn't even bother to reply. They would repeatedly blame delays on the owners. Eventually I had to contact the owners myself to resolve the matter and eureka, 4 months later, we finally have our deposit back. Throughout our tenancy, whenever maintenance issues would arise, they would send strictly their contractors, who would not solve the issue but happily charge the owners.
