Highly Recommend

I have been a client of JP Homes for over 10 years. I cannot rate them highly enough. As a landlord there are many challenges along the way, and I have always relied on JP Homes at my most challenging moments. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. Particular thanks to Zosia who I have dealt with closely over the years for my rentals. She epitomises everything you expect from someone in the sometimes complex profession of dealing with the delicate negotiations between tenant and landlord.

Work with Aiste at Chestersons!

Aiste provided exceptional service for me in finding a flat recently. She responded to my request within 2hrs, immediately got me in to see the apartment, communicated with me on other offers, and how to make mine competitive, and walked me through step by step the process through completion. She was prompt, always supportive and helpful when I needed it even after her responsibilities were over. I'm so grateful for her attention to detail, punctuality, speed of response, and good customer service. Ask for her - she's fantastic. Thank you Aiste!

Highly impressive and dedicated team of professionals

I have been impressed with the service of Stephen and his team right from our first interaction in approx 2009 when I was looking for a new property manager. I didn't chose Chestertons then due to their management fees being higher than the company I chose at the time.Stephen stayed in touch every year religously to see if I needed to review my property management. Eventually in approx 2019 that time came, and I went changed over to Chestertons. Their knowledge, efficiency, communication, and professionalism far surpasses any other company I've worked with in my 20+ years of property investment.The team are highly responsive in dealing with any issues, keep me informed, and I can honestly say, do a terrific job of managing my property.Even if the fees are a little bit higher, it's worth every penny. It goes without saying you get what you pay for.Monica Parvin

Timely & efficient support from Ioana

Customer service over the phone is always super responsive & helpful! Our washing machine broke & tripped the fuse and Ioana supported with practical advice on how to get the lights back on, arranged for an emergency electrician as well as a replacement washing machine in just a few days.

Amanda Goodman…

Rarely write reviews but my recent experience with Amanda Goodman compelled me to. Amanda is able to wear many hats, and is an expert when it comes to managing the relationship between the tenant and the landlord. Aside from immense property experience, she uses empathy and genuinely cares about the customer experience and getting it right. She always follows up diligently and executes on everything she says she will. This is why a recent tenancy renewal went through - because of Amanda and how she handled many moving parts.

professional and creative

We found Chesterton’s approach to be highly professional and creative. They came up with some new angles on the presentation and marketing which we feel enhanced the online presence of our property. Xavier ensured that all relevant offices sent staff to view the house in person and Sarah from the East Sheen office was relentless in driving viewings and then taking the sales process through to exchange. Matthew was also diligent in keeping us informed throughout. Overall a very good experience for us and we would recommend Chestertons to other sellers.

We had the chance to work with Sarah from Chestertons East Sheen, and she was incredibly helpful and supportive throughout the entire process. As this was our first experience with the UK property market, her clear explanations, honest feedback, and kind guidance made everything much easier to understand. She was always responsive and patient, and we felt more confident at every step thanks to her input. Thank you very much, Sarah, your professional and friendly support meant a lot to us!

Exceptional experience when it came to finding tenants !

I had an exceptional experience with Chesterton Pimlico when it came to finding tenants for my property. James and Andreea, in particular, did a remarkable job by successfully locating the perfect tenants within a remarkably short span of just two days. The entire process was incredibly effortless and seamless. I would highly recommend Chesterton Pimlico to any landlord who is seeking the ideal tenants for their property. Their expertise and efficiency make them the go-to choice in the industry

Excellent property Management

My experience this year with Chesterton's property management service for our property in Brentford has been excellent thanks to our account manager Risida Geeganage. She has at all times been proactive, reliable and solutions focussed. She has been a pleasure to work with and is a credit to Chesterton's.

I rented a flat near UCL through Chestertons. I still remember Georgina phoned and convinced me to view the flat. Thanks to Georgina for persuading me. The property manager Catherine is a nice lady. She responses to the emails very promptly and I feel very comfortable speaking to her. I enjoyed my stay at the flat and would choose Chestertons again.

As a landlord

As a landlord, this is my second consecutive tenancy via Chestertons. I deal with Gary Noone, Director Lettings in their Battersea office. It’s always a pleasure dealing with Gary and his team. They’re all efficient and supportive, and understanding of client needs. In particular, I’m always delighted to do business with Gary. I’m unsure if this is how Chestertons operates in all their offices, however, I’ve had a very good experience of dealing with Gary and his team.

Katherine ma

"I recently rented a home through Katherine Ma and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. Katherine was professional, attentive, and made the entire process seamless. She promptly addressed all my questions and ensured that everything went smoothly. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient leasing agent for their next home."

One of the good ones

Dealing with estate agents is never ideal but actually Shannon took us on a magic mystery tour of nice flats, was lovely and engaging all along and found us the place we have now moved into. No hard sell no BS just very personable and read what we were looking for. After a month of flat hunting and 25 visits we were pretty burned out, Shannon was a welcome relief. The application process went smoothly and Shannon was helpful all through. Thanks

He takes initiative to sort things out before coming to me, and is explanations, resolutions and communications are all of a very high standard.Every dealing with Matthew, my previous property manager Anna, and the rest of the team have all been of a high standard over the last 4 years of working with them. Keep up the great work guys.

Happy with the property

I contacted them at the beginning of this September, about the property. They contacted me and set an appointment for a quick look. Things were proceeding in a professional, precise and experienced manner. Mr. Martin was very cooperative and easy to negotiate with. He responded to all my inquiries and given me great advice and tips .I am now in the same property that I spoke about. Thank you to all the staff.

Excellent experience in buying a house with estate agent Louis Nafzger from Old Brompton Road branch

Louis Nafzger from the 44-48 Old Brompton Road branch was outstanding in helping me complete on a house I have just bought today! Louis was very attentive, neccessarily so since we had an ambitious completion date of around one month after our offer was accepted after a wee bidding war! This date was achieved largely because Louis was brilliant at communicating progress between the sellers and us on pretty much a daily basis. Thankyou Louis! You made a potentially difficult and stressful process so much smoother and easier! Chestertons are lucky to have you as a member of their staff! It also says alot for this branch and the real effectiveness and excellence of his managers in their ability to support Louis so he could excell in his role!

If I could give minus 100 stars I would…

If I could give minus 100 stars I would . Chestertons Richmond together with their property management colleagues and landlord made our life a living nightmare throughout a tenancy of almost 18 months which I was forced to end . Despite Renting a premium property with a very high rent I had continuous problems with the property culminating with almost 2 months of leaking from the en-suite shower to a downstairs room which was literally left without being repaired . My 79 year old mother who had use of the shower had to go to the top floor to shower leaving her out of breath due to being asthmatic. I have been bullied and lied to by both Chestertons and the landlord who has been absolutely negligent and mean spirited throughout . From the first day we moved into the house we had problems with the plumbing and electrics . From blocked WC’s, leaking windows, short circuits , the fuse box needing to be changed . Dryer and washing machine that didn’t work which had to be replaced leaving us to have our laundry done externally . House was not professionally cleaned . There was urine on one of the toilet seats . Gravel on kitchen floor . The oven smoked upon first use . The carbon monoxide alarms were all without batteries and not checked . Lights in the bathroom had to be disconnected permanently due to being hazardous . Months to fix a curtain rail which was hanging on two 2 tiny screws which would have been fatal if fallen as advised by the person who finally came to fix them months later . Months to fix lights in master bedroom which were short circuiting. No insulation throughout the whole house leaving my family and I frozen despite having the heating on . Master shower dripping for months before attempting a cheap fix which resulted in the continuous leaking into a downstairs room leaving puddles . Chestertons and the landlord left the leaking ceiling without any attempt to fix it forcing me to look for alternative accommodation. Initially Refusing to return the rent for March (paid in advance ) just to be difficult. The landlord not responding to any correspondence for weeks forcing me to pay for 2 properties at the same time for her to only return and agree the end of tenancy I had originally requested . Landlord Agreeing to return the deposit and one months rent in full . 🤦🏻‍♀️, but first had the the audacity to ask for evidence of professional clean after the person to whom I handed over the keys said they house was immaculate. After providing the requested invoice for professional cleaning they made another excuse implying the property was not clean . More lies and manipulation of the truth . Forcing me to instruct lawyers which they blatantly ignored with responses being from the person who books plumbers. The final nail in the coffin being the present time , almost one month after I handed the keys back to them they are feeling so entitled that I am being blackmailed with regards to returning the deposit and rent which they originally agreed to return . The blackmail being putting a condition on returning monies that are legally and rightfully mine :- Email from Chestertons :- ‘Good afternoon I am writing in response to your query below, we are just in the process of confirming with the landlord that the deposit monies will be returned in full to the tenant and also the overpaid rent for the period 01/03-29/03. Once we have this in place we can confirm that the offer that has been made is in full and final settlement of the claim. The landlord will be agreeing to this on the basis that this brings this matter to a close and she will not be willing to enter into any further discussions relating to this. Kind regards’ Using my deposit and one months rent towards settlement of the claim I have made against them for negligence and emotional distress during the 18 months where my family and I did not have the chance to live in the rental property in peace and without disturbance as we were legally entitled to . I must not forget the pigeon infestation to the side of the house the landlord refused to deal with unless I paid half the costs . Something that was not my responsibility and once again we were not able to use the side of the house nor open upstairs window due to the mounds of pigeon excretions everywhere with the pigeons nesting inside the outside wall of the house . The dilapidated garden shed was also full of black bags of rubbish rendering the floor mouldy . Short circuit set off by the light switch in the room with leaking ceiling again on the day I handed over the keys leaving front of house in darkness . I am absolutely dismayed and disgusted as to how on earth can you Chestertons resort to such dirty tactics and allow a landlord to be so brutally negligent yet still consider yourselves to be without any responsibility ?!!

I rented a flat with this agency in 2021 and today was the day for one of the agents to make one of the annual visits. Anson Nyako was amazing! Professional but frendly and willing to answer my questions without hesitation and with a lot of patience and happy to help. I am comfortable knowing that now if I have a problem I will contact him through his email. Communication to arrange this visit was also impeccable. I see that agency standards are rising!! That is great! Because communication is key and Anson Nyako knows that very well!!

A great rental experience

I am an international student in the UK. I saw the house I live in online and I like it very much! I tried to contact CHESTERTONS and made an appointment to view the house. They were very efficient and fast, especially Martins, who was very patient in communicating our requirements and terms with the landlord! In the end, the contract was successfully negotiated. Thank you very much to CHESTERONS and Martins!

Chestertons are the worst of the worst

Chestertons are the worst of the worst. As a tenant, I moved in during lockdown. They never provided me with a check-in report. Over 2 years, i reported many issues which were left unresolved. At the end of the tenancy, they tried to charge me for issues which were present when I moved in (and that had been raised during the tenancy) and refused to provide a response to me challenging individual charges.I had a broken shower for over a month, but they did not care. Due to poor workmanship, it broke again. They then tried to charge me for this, when the original shower was probably 15 years+ old. They made the check-out process difficult and delayed matters, failing to advise me at any point that I only have 3 months to dispute the charges with the TPS. Once I realised negotiations were futile, I was out of time to refer to TPS and they advised me my only option was to take the matter to court. They admitted the person dealing with me was inexperienced and was not following the correct process. That means nothing to me now!I am now left with little option than to issue a claim in the small claims court. PLEASE AVOID THESE SCAMMERS - TENANTS AND LANDLORDS. They show no remorse or willingness to work in good faith to resolve matters. I've rented for many years and never had these type of issues with any other rental agent.UPDATE: I see Chestertons are implying I have not responded to requests for further information. Chestertons provided me with a breakdown of charges are the end of the tenancy. I provided a detailed breakdown in response, with evidence, as to why charges were disputed. That was in October 2022, they failed to respond to this detailed breakdown, with justification and evidence of the fees they were attempting to extort from me. Please do not suggest that it is I who has failed to provide the necessary information to resolve this matter. In addition, it is also worth noting that I made a subject access request and they failed to produce the mid-term inspection report as part of that request, presumably as it supported my position in relation to the disputed charges. I will consider raising this with the ICO in due course.

If I could put 0 stars I would

If I could put 0 stars I would. This agency stole over £1500.00 from my account, as a landlord renting my 1 bed flat with them, I trusted them completely, I never read my statements until I need to submit my tax returns, When I read the statements I discovered my closed balance in December was £1600, and my January opening balance of £20!! where did the closing of Dec disappear to, I called every day and sent emails and I am still waiting for a reply! this is very low for an agency that claims integrity of over 200 years! the agency already takes their fees monthly and when contracts are renewed, so I really don't understand why they did this to me.

Brilliant Service

From the start of my tenancy up until the end the services provided were commendable. Any issue I had was carefully inspected and fixed as soon as I had reported it and the property managers, particularly Patrick Zahara ensured that the property was kept at a good standard. Would definitely recommend them as an agency in the future.
