A TOP PROPERTY MANAGER
Risida Geeganage is the best !
1/5
I made an offer on a property and spent over a week chasing for an update. The agent kept promising to call back "tomorrow" but never did, or gave poor excuses, either saying he was still chasing the landlord or that his manager was dealing with it. When I tried to speak to the manager, she conveniently avoided my calls and voicemails. After all the delays and excuses, I finally found out my offer was rejected, something they could have told me days ago. From day one, something felt off, and I still don’t know the real reason. However, better honesty and communication would have made a difference. It’s unheard of for an offer to take seven days just to be rejected. Completely unprofessional and a waste of time. If you're looking for an estate agent that actually communicates, I’d suggest going elsewhere.

I’d like to acknowledge the services of Mr Sam Philips
I’d like to acknowledge the professional service afforded to us as renters in Battersea for 2 years by Pendletons Property Manager Mr Samual Philips. He was very responsive to any/all queries we had and arranged quick answers/solutions to us with knowledge, expertise and efficiency. Every tenant should be so fortunate to have a Mr Sam Philips as their rental property manager!
Hi Paul and Leigh Ann, thank you for taking the time to leave a review for Sam. We're happy to hear that he was on hand throughout your tenancy and you had a great experience. Wishing you all the best!

I have always received a reliable and good service.
I have always received a good service from from Chestertons. They are accurate, very user friendly and helpful. They are also very reliable and pleasant to deal with. The only reason we are not using them in the immediate future is that we are selling the property that they managed. If they were in Leeds where we are buying I would not even consider anybody else. We’re had a very good experience throughout our relationship with Chestertons.
Hi Paul, thank you for taking the time to leave this review, this is amazing feedback for our Property Management team. Wishing you all the best with your sale and move to Leeds!

First time I leave a bad review.. horrible!
First time I leave a bad review at a business but we are shocked at the level of service. We had made an offer for a family home of 5bedrooms and it was accepted by the landlord among other offers as he liked our profile (Respected professionals). 30 min later at 8pm we thanked the agent Milan for the news and we asked two questions by email. Literally the next day at 9am Milan called us to tell us that it is red flag that we have not yet registered at the website (without having responded to our email with our questions)then him and his manager Eleonore rushed us to wire the money immediately. We only had requested to view the property a second time as we only viewed it for 10 minutes and potentially to speak to previous tenants which was in our initial offer. We have rented properties for many years and we have excellent references, we were never treated with such disrespect. Even after we communicated our concerns, they did not apologise, tried to turn this around and say that they didn't respond to our email because it was late at night, and still had the audacity to call us at 9am to claim we are the red flag. We ended up pulling our offer as we wouldn't want the property to be managed by them. Really a shame as we loved the house!Be aware as a tenant but also a landlord!
Hi Io, thank you for taking the time to leave this review and raising this issue with us. We apologise for the inconvenience and frustrations caused by the process and service provided, please be assured that this was not our intention. We will review the processes and make sure this does not happen in the future. Should you wish to raise anything further, please do reach out to us by emailing social@chestertons.co.uk.

Chestertons Fulham misrepresented my…
Chestertons Fulham misrepresented my property for client who was rented from abroad which leaded him to end contract early. They never helped me to deal with this difficult situation. They have never replied my formal complaint. Further they promised to find for me another tenant, however they removed my property from advertisement without informing me, simply to punish me for complaining. I wouldn’t recommend this agency, poor management, no complaint handling. They taking money and go, If there is a problem they simply ignoring you. Totally disorganised, left hand doesn’t know what right hand doing.What is interesting, that now after that review I received email from customer service that they submitted my complaint to the same director of Fulham office who I complaint about to deal with my complaint. This is really a joke! Chestertons head management management simply doesn’t care.
Hi Anna, thank you for providing us with further details so we could look into this for you. We've been made aware that the Lettings Manager tried to get in touch with you yesterday. Please do get back in touch with him so we discuss this further with you.

Great personal experience
Dawn was a pleasure to work with. She really took the time to get to know me and understand my requirements and search criteria. Eventually, I was able to find what I was looking for and place an offer. Great to work with Chestertons, and thanks Dawn!
Thank you for sharing your experience Luca!

Great Lettings Team!
I have been a client of Chestertons for many years. The Lettings Team were fantastic as always in recently securing a large number of potential tenants, incredibly quickly. I'm very grateful to them (in particular Eleonora, Madi and Sarah) for their hard work and friendly, professional service.
Thank you for sharing your experience!

Cynthia - Chestertons
I had the pleasure of dealing with Cynthia recently while searching for a rental property. She was most enthusiastic, helpful, informative, flexible and proactive in quickly closing out the formalities. I would recommend Cynthia to anyone looking to rent a property in the area. A delight to deal with.
What a wonderful review!Thank you

I've been looking for almost a month for a property that was going to suit my needs. Louis has been magnificently helpful, he went above and beyond in order to support us. He's a really smart, kind and sweet person. Couldn't be more happy to have been his customer, I do totally suggest whoever is reading this review to reach out the branch and have Louis looking after themselves. Cannot Thank you enough Louis! Happy to be your customer :DPositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

I had an absolutely nightmarish…
I had an absolutely nightmarish experience with Chestertons. Their lack of professionalism and utter disregard for tenants' rights were shocking.Firstly, when I reached out to discuss the proposed deposit deductions, they simply ignored my emails, leaving me in the dark about their unjust claims.To make matters worse, my deposit was not even registered correctly. Despite their legal obligation to protect tenants' deposits, they failed to comply with the necessary regulations, leaving me with little recourse for my rights as a tenant.Their overall communication and responsiveness were abysmal, leaving me feeling undervalued and frustrated throughout the entire process.I strongly advise anyone considering renting from [Agency Name] to think twice. This has been, without a doubt, the worst property agency experience of my life, and I wouldn't wish it upon anyone else.
Hi Karolina, we are sorry to read your comments and we understand that one of our managers has since reached out to you to discuss. We do have to follow the instructions of the Landlord in relation to deposit deductions but we understand the dispute process has been explained to you and we can offer any guidance needed through this process. We can confirm that your deposit is protected with TDS. Should you have any further queries, please do get in touch with the team to discuss further.

Preya was always very responsive and supportive during the time of her managing my flat. I would highly recommend her to other tenants looked after by Chestertons.

New property manager Shakil Khan stepped in to resolve the issues and proved to be helpful
I have been renting my property with Chestertons for the past 6 months. The contracting and referencing was smoothly organised. When I moved in, the property manager wasn’t very responsive and contractors didn’t appear in 4 months time. I am glad that the agency appointed a new property manager Shakil Khan who has been very responsive and is currently helping to organise all the maintenance works required. He has demonstrated a client oriented approach and professionalism.
Hi Diana, thank you for sharing this review with us. We're happy to hear you found the contract and referencing process a smooth one and that Shakil has been on hand whenever needed. Wishing you all the best!

Resolution Problem with Tenants
I had an an-going problem with my tenants which was, potentially, heading towards a confrontation and possible legal action. Chesterton's Letting's Manager took control of the situation and resolved the problem in a patient and professional manner. I was relieved and delighted with the help he offered me as it was beyond my capabilities despite being a landlord for over 20 years.
Hi William, thank you for sharing your experience with Chestertons. We are so glad the Lettings Manager was able to solve the problem for you. We will always be here to help should you need anything further.
