I had an issue with a leak in my flat that was causing damage in the flat below. I was getting quite frustrated with lack of progress in getting it sorted and had spoken with a number of people but was not getting anywhere. Danny Duran stepped in and was very helpful in getting to grips with the issue and it looks like, now finally, it is going to get sorted. Thanks Danny.

TrustpilotVanessa 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.

TrustpilotProfessional, 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.

TrustpilotPotential 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

TrustpilotHonest 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.

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.

TrustpilotA 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.

TrustpilotEfficient, 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.

TrustpilotFurniture 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.
Caitlin · 15 March 2024
Agent replied · 6 February 2025
Hi Caitlin, we’re sorry to see you have left rating. After speaking with the team, we are aware that you were offered a fair compensation value, bearing in mind that the sofa previously in situ would have been second or even third hand. Initially you were in disagreement of the amount, so we placed the compensation offer on hold until a resolution was reached. We then received notification that you were happy to proceed with this and we sent the funds over immediately. We hope this clarifies the matter and if you have any further queries, please do let us know.

We’ve had a really positive experience with Chestertons, particularly with Samuel as our property manager.

TrustpilotScamming 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.
Petra · 6 February 2024
Agent replied · 12 February 2025
Hi Petra, Thank you for your review and we apologise for our delayed response, whilst we looked into this further with the relevant team.We are sorry to read that you have concerns regarding the deposit process and the return of funds for your tenancy. In this case, your landlord had originally determined to make claims indicated by the checkout report but was persuaded subsequently to remove those claims by the property management team. We are sorry that you do not view this or our interactions regarding maintenance works positively but want to assure you that any costs from the deposit are to the benefit of the landlord and we are always looking to protect our clients and tenants from unnecessary costs.We advise tenants throughout the check-out process the timescales for raising a dispute with TDS and this remained an option for you throughout. TDS will adjudicate independently and such a dispute can be raised as soon as the tenancy ends. We can see that you elected not to raise a dispute here but we are pleased that the matter was ultimately resolved.
