Trustworthy and Efficient Company with Helpful Staff
I have had a really good experience with this company. They are knowledgeable, efficient and helpful and always respond quickly when contacted. My latest dealings were with tenancy consultant Niema Latif, and she embodied all the qualities that make this company so admired and trusted. I had some difficult accessing documents, and, when I informed her, she immediately suggested solutions.

Dont use Cheterons to find houses to rent
Another day, Another threat from the agency. I would strongly recommend not working with this agency at all. It is a sincere request from a tenant, it is just using the power dynamics brutally because they have the security deposit. I have the threats on email now so I do not if I can upload them for better reference for other people. The service is just pathetic.
Hi Pranav, we're sorry to see you have left this rating. After investigating this with the team, we can see that this was solved amicably with the tenant. If you wish to discuss anything further, we'll be more than happy to help.

Serve your interests well
Competitive fees, friendly staff, got lots of viewings and drove the process so we completed by my deadline. Luke Drewitt was my primary contact, kept me in the loop all through the process and was a pleasure to deal with. Would recommend.

Chestertons; unhelpful and not friendly…
Chestertons bought the estate agents outfit I originally rented from. They are the most unfriendly and unhelpful rental agents I’ve ever met. First they claim not to have a copy of my keys, which means they misplaced or lost them, not too smart. Then they claim I didn’t pay my rent when I did and have a record/receipt for my bank. Then they wanted to increase my rent by 15% because “your rent hasn’t gone up in 5 years” it’s not my fault 🤦♀️ they send me endless harassing emails when I’m trying to work.
Hi Joan,Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. We're very sorry to hear about your unsatisfactory experience with Chestertons. Please do respond to our request for more information so we can investigate this matter and escelate with the appropriate team. Many thanks,Chestertons

Great Experience with My First Rental!
Great Experience with My First Rental!My experience has been great from the very beginning, with Mia showing me the house, to the closing process, and continuing with Shakil providing support for repairs and answering my questions after the rental was finalized.I can say that renting the place as a foreigner and having their support was extremely important to me.
Hi Elton, thank you for sharing your experience with us. We're thrilled to hear that you found your first rental through us and Shakil has been on hand for any repairs or queries you've had. Please let us know if you need anything else. Best wishes!

Unprofessional and unable to deliver on their service
I appointed Chestertons on a joint agency term for the marketing of my property. Despite all the promises and statements claiming to be the best local agent 'by a country mile', they simply failed to deliver across the board.Compared with the other agent, Chestertons provided poor communication and I had to chase them for any updates. They failed to adhere to proper access procedure when conducting viewings. Upon termination of their contract their sales director acted in an extremely unprofessional manner, leaving yet another sour taste to the whole experience. In contrast, the other agent conducted themselves professionally and produced three offers of which one progressed to conveyancing.So based on my experience dealing with them, I cannot find a single reason why I would recommend them in any way.
Hi there,Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're very sorry to hear about your unsatisfactory experience with Chestertons. Please do respond to our request for more information so we can investigate this matter accordingly.

Good experience until contract stage
I've amended my original 5 stars which I left at the stage at which the rental had been verbally agreed. My old review (which I still stand by up to a point) said: "Lily at Chestertons helped us sort out our dream rental. She got all the paperwork sorted in a couple of days and was on hand to answer all our questions."However, as soon as we got to contract stage, customer service took a nosedive. The contract was amended 4 times and each time we had to sign a new version of about 20 pages, but when I asked for a countersigned contract a few days before our move-in date I was told this wasn't standard practice.Then, when I arranged for a friend to collect our keys from the Chestertons office as we were overseas at the time, we were told that no one was sure where the keys were. This was 4 days after our tenancy had officially started. We were told to try the caretaker at a neighbouring apartment but no one was entirely sure. It took my calling the lettings manager of Chestertons to ask him to confirm where the keys were, a fair amount of time spent calling around, and finally requesting that my friend go and collect the keys from the neighbour's caretaker, before we could get hold of the keys to our new rental.So would I still recommend Chestertons? Only up until the point at which the rental is agreed, don't expect much after that.
Hi Steff,We're so glad to hear that Lily was able to support you in finding your dream rental! Thank you for taking the time to leave this lovely review, we wish you all the best in your new home.

Chesterton agency / Madi Doe
The Chesterton agency and more particularly Madi Doe were very professional. She helped us in the search for the apartment but also gave us a lot of advices and support for the administrative part. She has always ben available and kind.
Thank you for the five star review, we are so pleased Madi was able to help!
