★★★★★ 1/5
GoogleMy experience with the agency was disappointing. They were unable to accommodate viewings at reasonable times, often rescheduling them due to the current tenants' specific timing requests, such as 9 am on a working day. It seems unusual that the agency would prioritize the convenience of the current occupants over potential new tenants. Typically, a 24-hour notice to the property would be standard practice in such situations. Overall, the experience was quite bizarre.
Janice · 27 March 2024
Agent replied · 23 October 2024
Dear Janice, thank you for your feedback. We have spoken to the Tower Bridge office regarding your review and they have advised that when you initially called in to enquire about this property, you spoke with the Lettings Manager. The Manager remembers the call very well and that she had advised you that there was a tenant living in this property, therefore we would need to check with them on when it is convenient to view.
The tenant is paying rent to live in the property. We respect that this is their home and allow them quiet enjoyment of the property. The tenant gave numerous times for viewings and we have showed the property to other applicants within these time slots. In this area, most applicants work in the city and therefore the most popular time to view is at lunchtime. We can see one option provided was to view any time before 4pm on the Thursday and another for 12pm-1pm on a Saturday.
We're sorry if the times the tenant had available did not suit you, however we cannot push ourselves into people’s homes to accommodate all different applicant's requirements. We believe that applicants who register with us appreciate this, as they will potentially be our tenants in the future.

★★★★★ 2/5
GoogleAs a previous tenant, I would not recommend using Chestertons where avoidable. I had agreed a car parking space would be included in the rent in writing however when I moved in and tried to park I was told it was not included and I would have to pay over £200 per month for this which was very surprising and disappointing given the unexpected cost. Since moving out I am currently in a dispute with them/the landlord over my tenancy deposit for trivial items which is a waste of all our time and I am surprised they are entertaining this.
Tabetha · 11 October 2023
Agent replied · 23 October 2024
Hi Tabetha,
Thank you for taking the time to leave this review, we’re sorry to hear about your unsatisfactory experience with Chestertons. We have spoken to the appropriate team who mentioned that they too thought that the parking space was included in your tenancy, unfortunately due to a misunderstanding this was not the case. We deeply apologise for the mistake on our end and did attempt to rectify this. In regards to your deposit, as explained by your property manager, this cannot be released without the landlord’s approval. We recommend that you reach out to the Tenancy Deposit Scheme if you’d like support with the dispute.
Please do feel free to get in touch with your property manager if there is anything else we can assist you with.
Many thanks,
Chestertons

TrustpilotShort let - responsive service
Michell Vasquez managed letting our property for a short let. She was incredibly responsive to our questions and requests. She pulled out all the stops to ensure a number of repairs were made, and a cleaner was found last minute, whilst a tenant was in the process of vacating, and whilst we were up against a deadline due to selling the property

TrustpilotGreat experience in renting with Chesterstons
I have had the pleasure of liaising with Mark Kardos from Chestertons as the property manager for my flat over the last two years, and I can say that I’m happy with the service he provided.From the beginning, Mark managed my flat promptly and efficiently, ensuring that all my requests were addressed promptly.Unfortunately the landlord didn’t want to undertake some repairs that needed doing from the beginning of my tenancy. But I can say that Mark tried to do his best. Mark's excellent communication skills and responsiveness were particularly good. Whenever I had a question or concern, he was always quick to respond and provide the necessary assistance.I am genuinely grateful for the great job Mark has done in managing the flat I was renting. His professionalism, reliability, and dedication to customer satisfaction are truly commendable.
