FRAUD warning! This agency together with a fraudster landlord D.T. at Ability Place building stole our deposit of 2500 pounds. They collaborated together as the agency kept the deposit instead of transferring it to an independent company. Stay away from fraudsters! You can see below how the agency is bullying me to remove the review. Do you know why there are no negative reviews? Because they harass people to take them down. They've been calling and emailing me all day asking to remove my review. Also notice that all 5 star reviews come from accounts with 1 review. Feel free to reach out to me if you are their victim as I've reported them to the Police.

Posted 12th March This review is fraudulent and completely dishonest. We do not manage this property and as the tenant and the landlord are unable to agree on an amounts we MUST transfer it to the TDS so they can carry out their arbitration process. At the end of this process the TDS will decide from the evidence the tenant and the landlord provide (not us) and distribute the deposit accordingly. This is the TDS policy and we must comply with it. We have requested that the reviewer remove this review ASAP as it completely false and misleading. If it is not removed we will post the evidence required to prove that it is false. Posted 14th March - Please see evidence below that proves that this review is completely false, the information provided by the reviewer is wholly incorrect and purposely misleading. The deposit money was sent to the TDS on the 20th of February, as per their guidelines that we (and any other agent) must follow. https://www.gov.uk/tenancy-deposit-protection Taken from the above Government website.

Do not recommend

I've had a terrible experience with Chestertons. They've mismanaged my billings for many consecutive months. They have assumed I am overseas for tax purposes and deduct the wrong amount for their fees. They've also incorrectly advised the tenants to cancel all bills that per out agreement we are supposed to pay. I do not recommend letting your property with Chestertons

Spammers That Don't Delete Data Upon Request.

I am no longer looking for a property, the unsubsrcibe from mailings fails. I responded to 8 colleagues now who have persisted to send me information about properties, for over 2 days. I am still getting calls and emails. Honestly, never message these people, sick of emails from them. And the one property I asked to view, I never even saw. DELETE MY DATA.

Excellent property management

Chestertons has been managing a property on our behalf for many years and we have been working closely with Stephen O'Connell since 2020. He checks potential tenants meticulously, provides regular updates and resolves issues promptly.
