TrustpilotHugo has been a pleasure to deal with
Hugo has been a pleasure to deal with, he is very attentive and has always gone above and beyond when letting our apartment out. I would always recommend Chesterton's, and Hugo specifically to anybody looking to let their properties.
Thank you for your review George! We are so pleased to hear this.

TrustpilotMichelle Frogley has been superb
I am particularly singling out Michelle Frogley as providing an excellent service and going above and beyond in helping me through the process of managing the end of one tenancy and the beginning of another, helping me to understand all stages of the process and breaking down the finances involved. She has been able to step in and clarify areas that are not even in her remit, and has been so patient and friendly throughout. She's been absolutely wonderful.
Hi there, what a glowing review for Michelle - thank you for sharing! We'll make sure to pass this feedback on to her and her manager. If you need any further help, please do get in touch. Best wishes!

TrustpilotChestertons is poor agent ever!
Updated 1/19: So far Chestertons no update response here and we didn’t get reach from their team. According to the legal advice that after landlord/letting agents serve Section 21, tenancy have right to move out any time without requiring further notice of that. I am doubt about Chestertons is professional letting agents which should aware the legal process, but what reason they could stand with landlord to insist we hv to provide 2 months notice and holding our deposit refuse to refund? What is their professionalism?Highly not recommend Chestertons, they did nothing to help on tenant as they only stand as landlord’s point of view. Delay of responding email and call, one of bedroom of our apartment out of heating for over 6 months still pending for repair until council step in; since landlord assigned the technician visited to repair other items but just reviewed twice without start any actual work for repair and they think that is good enough but didn’t solve no heating problem, so silly funny! Seem like they don’t aware what is urgency especially heating is basic supply which landlord hv to provide and repair immediately.Other repair situation always delayed for few weeks as normal, we have to push again and again, or they assigned the workers come without communicate the time and schedule in advance. One of the case was we were out of apartment, wile they/landlord assigned the workers came for repair works and they called several time to persuade us allow the worker use backup key to kick start the work without our present, definitely we refused of it.Chesterton acted as agent but seem like they did nothing to help for tenant. They just like act as communication hub but they don’t have any procedures to do what if any situation happen or landlord didn’t response.The landlord served us section 21 as we think that is kind of revenge eviction; we tried to negotiate the move out date to extend one month to End of Nov due to estate management is renewing the lift until end of Oct which is the move out date landlord requested, but they just simply ignore and not positively to negotiate of it. And Chesterton and landlord didn’t care you move out the property with those big boxes and furnitures without lift support. They don’t care about what difficult you are facing without lift, and they said that should be fine to use the stairway for move in or move out. Therefore, we exercise our right to stay and find the new property to rent at the same time after we consult council’s and legal advice. So ridiculous was one of lady from Chestertons Letting or Sales dept. called us and asked a silly question impolitely why we don’t move out as their requested as she have client ready to move in, in fact we already emailed to their management team in advance of our decision before, obviously their internal didn’t communicate at all. It’s really ridiculous that she also roughly asked why we complaint the apartment condition but keep staying in the property why not just move out. This is really not professional for such kind of blame from the Chestertons sales. We wrote another email and called the property management team for such situation and formally request that no calling for disturb from this lady again. But she kept calling every 2-3 days for 2-3 weeks which is insane.Finally, we informed the Chesterton one month in advance that we are moving our end of Dec, they send us some normal mail few times without any concern of move out date until 18 days later that they requested we hv to provide 2 months notice as original contract because of landlord’s feedback; yes, they took 18 days (over 2 weeks) to say about objection of move out date, so ridiculous. While we signed the new contract with new agent/landlord after issue move out notice to Chesterton as their first reply without any objection of move out date. Right now they still insist the contract will keep until Jan. Believed Chesterton/landlord may try to deduct our deposit for that, but definitely we will fight for our interest.Again, no Chesterton if you are tenant! What a rubbish company ever! We spent a lot of time every month to deal with this unprofessional agency company during the last 14 months.Updated: I don’t know why trustpilot or Chestertons hv the right to force me provide further contact information for follow up!( As trust pilot threaten to remove the post if I don’t response, how come?) I am already using the real name (as I deal with Chesterton), Chestertons should be easy to check out the situation. But honestly I don’t think they care the reputation.
Hi Vincent, thank you for taking the time to provide us with more information so we can look into this for you. We take client dissatisfaction very seriously and would like to investigate this further with the relevant department. As soon as we receive an update we will be in touch and post a response for you here.

TrustpilotVery very happy
Firstly the company; I called in between Christmas and New year when most companies are dead to the world, however Chestersons had someone manning the phones to at least take a message and get it allocated to the right person for their attention as soon as they came back from holiday. Which put us in touch with Delphine who was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and efficient in dealing with our rental search. My wife and I were very pleased with everything she did for us.
Morning Jason, thank you for taking the time to leave this review! Christmas is always a difficult time to get in touch with some companies but at Chestertons we always have avenues for people to get in touch. We're happy to hear Delphine assisted you with your rental search and will pass on your compliments to her. Best wishes for 2023!

TrustpilotTerrible property management team
Terrible property management team. Already more than a month and a half I'm having the issue that I can not use the bath in my house because the bath tap needs to be replaced. I have been calling and chasing them almost every week twice via email and phone calls, but still experiencing the same issue. First of all, they had more than a week crash system when they could not access their emails and phone line (i still do not understand why their problems it's supposed to be my concern), After which the property manager left for annual leave which extended everything for another week. Finally, i reached the main manager, and after they send finally someone to fix it, the engineer came but he did not know the information from the first inspection regarding which part exactly should be replaced. In the end, the contractors went for the holidays, and Chesterton told me that they can not do anything with this. As I have a separate shower in a flat there is no emergency situation. However, i have a small child and the apartment is really cold in the winter so a proper bath for me is essential. Plus, I am paying regularly for the apartment 2 bed 2 BATH ( second month i can not use the facilities property). After the holidays i called first thing ( but before i have been promised that someone will call me and update me)^ which obviously did not happen, after chasing them another week, I am still having the same issues and no one gives the calls back with an update, as well as no one replies on my emails.I would never recommend deal with a property management office in this company, they do not care about your issues and barely knows how to deal with customer care. Really bad communication between the members of the staff. WOULD NEVER USE THEIR SERVICES FOR ANY CLIENTS, AND OBVIOUSLY NOT FOR YOUR PERSONAL USE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Anna, we are sorry that you have needed to raise this review. We understand that you have spoken with one of our Managers this afternoon and that the issue relates to a tap in one of the two bathrooms in your flat. The tap required dismantling due to its specification before a quote could be obtained. We accept that there has been a delay due to the Christmas break but the Landlord has now approved the necessary works. As agreed, we will provide a further update to you at the start of next week. Should you have any further queries, please let us know.

TrustpilotGood experience
I was looking for a house and had several viewings with Juliette, very pleasant and professional young lady. The communication was always easy and fast. She adjusted to my working hours and scheduled some viewings on her days off. She was attentive and efficient. Will definitely use this agency in future and Juliette in particular.
Hi Alevtina, what a great review for Juliette! Thank you for sharing your experience with her and please do reach out again in the future if you need help with any property searches.

My experience with Chestertons has only been saved by Kacey Naish. She has been very responsive, even on Christmas Eve. She has been patient and held my hand through a deposit dispute. She is the only reason I will probably stay a client of theirs.
Hi Safiya, we are sorry you have had a deposit dispute but are so glad Kacey has been responsive and patient. Thank you for the review.

TrustpilotChestertons
Chestertons - "You don't even deserve this 1 star"I had terrible experience with this letting agency.Please find below timelines of experience which made our life stressful.Chestertons posted ad for property on 4th Oct.1)Holding deposit was transferred for renting apt. on 6th Oct.2)Referencing started on 7th Oct and was completed by 14th Oct.3)Tenancy agreement was created on 15th Nov.They took 1 month just to create tenancy agreement!!!!4)Tenancy agreement was signed by us on 17th Nov.5)Remaining deposit and 1st month rent was transferred on 18th Nov.6)They made sure that we did not visit apartment twice . We were following up for apartment viewing but they couldn’t give us appointment from 31st Oct till 18th Nov.We received call from Melis on 19th Nov. mentioning that "Even though you have passed referencing checks , we cannot rent this property to you"7)They had our approx 5000£.
Hi Amruta, we are sorry to hear of your complaint. We have reviewed the situation with the relevant team and whilst we understand you were eager to get the contract, there are certain elements and documentation required from both parties before we can complete the contracts.We're aware that you were booked in to view the property twice once you arrived in the country so this request was not ignored, however, on both occasions the current tenant cancelled due to her child being unwell. This was unfortunately out of our control as we cannot enter the property without the current tenant's consent.The current tenants advised towards the very end of their tenancy that they would not be able to vacate as they were unable to find alternative accommodation. Melis contacted you as soon as we got this news and provided evidence when you requested it, to confirm the current tenant's situation. Due to the laws in the UK, we cannot do anything to speed up the vacation process until this has gone through the courts. Melis offered the closest comparable properties that we had on the market at that time to try and assist you as we did not want to leave you without options.Our teams have checked our accounts and we can see your holding deposit was returned to you on the 21st of November and the balance was refunded on the 23rd of November.Whilst we appreciate this has been less than ideal for you and Deepak, the situation is beyond our control.
