TrustpilotI had a great experience
I had a great experience with Chestertons. Special thanks to Niema Latif MARLA MNAEA, who was very helpful throughout the process of renting and renewing the lease of the flat. Their quick communication and efficiency made everything so much easier and stress-free. I really appreciated the support and professionalism. I’d happily recommend them to anyone looking for a smooth rental experience.

TrustpilotGregor, the key to a fantastic first rental experience with Chestertons
I can't recommend Gregor Scott and Chestertons enough! We were looking for quite specific rental requirements in terms of accessibility and to tight timings and Gregor was absolutely fantastic. In addition to incredible professionalism and expertise, he went above and beyond, was incredibly proactive to help me secure the perfect rental, brilliantly guiding me along the way and made the whole process smooth and incredibly human. He thoughtfully and skilfully balanced tenant and landlord needs to get to the best solution, adaptively navigating any unexpected solutions. This is my first experience with Chestertons and it’s been really impressive with Gregor.

TrustpilotProfessional, caring and attention to tenants
I want to write about my wonderful experience with Niema.After 4 years of dealing with another agency, Niema from Chesterton took over the managing of our property and from the first phone call (I was already surprised she called) I was so impressed that I remember thanking her for being so professional and prompt in finding a solution to our situation.Quite honestly I had lost all my trust in Agencies after my previous experience but I am now really hopeful.Niema is proactive, professional, quick at problem solving and lovely to speak to. After all of our interaction I felt heard, I understood where the problem or delay was, and I knew there was a plan going forward.I could not praise her enough.

TrustpilotI bought a flat in Pimlico
I bought a flat in Pimlico, negotiating a price very quickly with their help. The team were very professional, provided good advice, were responsive on the telephone and email, and allowed access on a number of occasions for measuring up, builders etc. They were always on time for appointments and most importantly were personable without any of the bs you sometimes get.

TrustpilotIncompetence throughout
Incompetence throughout. We were pushed into signing and moving in within a few days, we were told lies about issues with the contract when raised. They left furniture in the flat when we moved which they didn't bother to remove for a week afterwards. One of our keys doesn't work and they've failed to replace it. We have an ongoing maintenance issue which has been going on for over a month with no end in sight as they want to pursue baseless accusations, leading to a working relationship were we are unlikely to report issues in future due to their utter lack of competence.

Trustpilot5 star experience with Richie Parkin @ Chestertons…
I am delighted to share my positive experience with my new property manager, Richie Parkin. Since assuming responsibility for my property, Richie has proactively resolved several complex issues with efficiency and professionalism. He demonstrates exceptional customer-facing skills, establishing strong relationships with landlords, tenants, and suppliers. His extensive property knowledge, which I have not encountered before, enables him to address the root causes of problems rather than opting for superficial solutions. Richie is highly organized, decisive, and consistently delivers prompt and effective results. I highly recommend his services without reservation. Five stars, thoroughly deserved.

Ann has been incredibly professional and supportive in resolving a challenging water ingress issue. Her dedication, responsiveness, and attention to detail truly set her apart.Throughout the process, Ann consistently demonstrated genuine care and professionalism, keeping me informed every step of the way and ensuring that all necessary actions were taken. Her proactive approach in advising on compensation for loss of rent and coordinating with the involved parties has been invaluable.I am deeply grateful for Ann's outstanding service and would highly recommend her and Chestertons to anyone seeking a reliable and supportive real estate professional.

I rented a property through Chesterton's for two years and from the moment my partner and I moved into the property James Smith the Property Manager made the process and duration of our stay smooth sailing. Whether we needed something fixed, or had a question about something to do with the property James was always attentive and responded quickly to get things sorted. All the while he was always polite and a pleasure to speak to.

TrustpilotExcellent service
I have rented my flat out with Chestertons/James Pendleton for a number of years. Their property manager Sam is outstanding and has made renting the flat out very straightforward. He is brilliant at managing problems or sorting things out if they go wrong at the property - always very quick to respond and works hard to ensure that I pay a reasonable but not extortionate amount for products and services if required.The wider lettings team are usually very responsive and quick to sort out marketing material, contracts etc when there is a change in tenants.

TrustpilotWould not use Chestertons again
Would not use Chestertons again. Very bad experience. Lack of transparency, fees and costs. Found them unprofessional in not taking responsibility for their own mistakes, subsequently costing me more money, as a landlord. Will not be providing Chestertons with any further business, with any of my properties in sales or rentals after this very disappointing, dishonest experience.

TrustpilotMy recent dealings with Chestertons…
My recent dealings with Chestertons were an absolute shambles! I needed to renew the current tenancy agreement ant the end of June and was advised it was in my best interests to form a new agreement rather than roll on the existing one. Because flat is in my recently deceased husbands name, I was asked to forward a copy of his will with details of the executors. I duly sent this , then was asked for a death certificate, then later a letter from a solicitor, which I didn’t feel was necessary as probate had been granted. I was then asked for the probate certificate which was duly sent. When I queried why the rent hadn’t been put into the bank account I was told we needed a new gas safety certificate which I immediately organised. I still didn’t receive the rent which the tenant had paid to Chestertons on 29th June and it was now nearly mid July. I eventually was put through to the accounts department after promises from different other operatives to chase up and sort out the problem which didn’t materialise.The accounts department were helpful and paid the money within 48 hours.Why couldn’t the relevant departments ask for all the documents needed at the same time instead of each time I rang to see why there was no progress?I really didn’t need all this hassle whilst coping with the recent loss of my husband.To make matters worse, I was then told you didn’t hold a current EICR certificate. Again I had to research and found the certificate was still in date . I relayed this information , but yet again was asked to forward a copy because there wasn’t one on the file. Why was the onus on me when there was obviously some departmental error?Just to cap it all I have now been issued with an invoiceasking for your whole years charges up front which I don’t have the funds for and you don’t accept credit card payments.As the July rent was paid net of your charges I assumed this was how it would be paid going forward.I now feel I just want to put the flat on the market as soon as possible so I don’t have to deal with any more issues like this.Marian Walker

Agent replied · 6 February 2025
Dear Mrs Walker, firstly please accept our sincere condolences for the loss of your husband. We have had time to review the file and we can see that there were additional documents that we legally required in order to complete the renewal of the Tenancy. Unfortunately when there is a death of a Landlord, we do have complete our due diligence checks as well as ensuring all the safety compliance documents are up to date. We are very sorry that this caused you unnecessary upset, this was never our intention.With regards to the fees charged, we have checked this with the accounts team and they have confirmed that these have been deduced in accordance with our Terms of Business; although on this occasion, it’s been invoiced monthly and deducted from the rent received and not in advance as you have advised. We would be very happy to have a further discussion regarding this to explain the statement if required.If you would like to discuss further, please do reach out to us and we can assist you wherever possible.

TrustpilotChestertons for tenancy management
I have used Chestertons for finding tenants for my property, and managing the tenancy and property maintenance issues. They have served me well for a number of years. They always acted well particularly with end of tenancy matters and timely action to find new tenants. They have also been able to deal with new tenants snag list in a reasonable manner.I have always been allocated a dedicated property manager manager. My current manager Shakil Khan has been able to handle a number of maintenance issues involving several suppliers to my satisfaction. The other benefit of using Chestertons is that they have a number of staff who can quickly step in to cover leave absences etc for the dedicated team.
