Excellent service

I have rented my flat out with Chestertons/James Pendleton for a number of years. Their property manager Sam is outstanding and has made renting the flat out very straightforward. He is brilliant at managing problems or sorting things out if they go wrong at the property - always very quick to respond and works hard to ensure that I pay a reasonable but not extortionate amount for products and services if required.The wider lettings team are usually very responsive and quick to sort out marketing material, contracts etc when there is a change in tenants.

Fast and easy

It was my second time reaching out to Chestertons for assistance about the property which turns out to be fast and efficient about solving any queries and issues. I am with Cheneal first on the phone who assisted me to my queries, later on Karen reached on me too through whatsapp then followed by Elaine my property manager through another phone call.

She is patient, has eloquent English, she explains everything thoroughly, we could write an essay to express our content in being so well served by Amy.

An awful experience

Following the death of my brother, I engaged Chestertons to sell his flat in Hyde Park Square. It was not a good decision. All the usual promises of a quick sale failed to materialise and after an initial flurry of calls, communication was subsequently very poor.Much more serious however was the attitude of Dylan James and his team. At best arrogant - but frequently downright rude - to the point that my excellent Solicitor had to formally request that they stopped sending such unpleasantly toned emails.Of similar concern was that throughout the process it was very clear that Chestertons priority lay with the Buyer rather than myself. At one point (through no fault of Chestertons) it emerged that a small storage room which I mistakenly thought belonged to the property did not - and the selling price had to be reduced. Chestertons valued it at an astonishingly inflated £120,000 to benefit the Buyer. It's eventual actual agreed value was £20,000. I was also accused of 'messing the Buyer around'.It is now over 10 days since I parted with 2% of the selling price but I have yet to receive any acknowledgement from Chestertons, let alone perhaps some thanks for my business?In 77 years on this planet I have rarely encountered such an awful Company.

Rod · 30 August 2024

Agent replied · 25 October 2024

Dear Rod, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are genuinely sorry to hear that your experience with Chestertons did not meet your expectations during such a difficult time. We'd like to address some of the points you've raised to provide further clarity on the situation.First and foremost, we want to express our deepest condolences for the loss of your brother. We understand that managing his affairs, including the sale of his property, has likely been an overwhelming experience.Regarding the timeline for the sale, we would like to clarify that we never promised a quick sale. Our intention was to provide you with a realistic estimate based on the condition of the property and the recommended price. The decision was ultimately made to list the property at a significantly higher price than we had suggested, which likely impacted the speed of the sale.The sale of the property required a Licence to Assign, which can be a complex and unfamiliar process, especially when dealing with specific freeholders. There were indeed challenges on this front, and without leveraging our contacts and experience to navigate these complexities, the sale might have faced further delays. We understand that your solicitor encountered difficulties with the freeholders, which I worked hard to resolve.The matter of the storage room was indeed an unfortunate situation, as it initially appeared to be part of the property. Upon discovering that this was not the case, the agreed price had to be adjusted accordingly. Despite this, we managed to secure a sale price that reflects the market value, particularly given the property's need for complete refurbishment, the absence of central heating, and the lack of permissions for past works.Communication is something we take very seriously, and we're disappointed to hear that you felt our tone was anything less than professional. We apologise if our communications came across as rude or arrogant; this was certainly not our intention. Our goal was to ensure all parties were informed and to facilitate the process as efficiently as possible under challenging circumstances.After the sale was completed, we continued to engage with you to ensure all loose ends were tied up, including assisting with meter readings, even though you still had sets of keys. Whilst we understand that this process has been frustrating, we want to emphasise that we made every effort to go above and beyond to support you through what turned out to be a particularly tricky sale.Finally, we regret that you felt unappreciated after the completion of the sale. We value your business and appreciate the opportunity to have worked with you, especially during such a difficult time.Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope this provides some insight into the efforts made on your behalf. Should you wish to discuss this further, please feel free to reach out to the team directly.

Confident professional letting service

I've been using Chestertons as my letting agency for some 4 years now. I am happy with the services. They make sure I follow the rules and legislations, sort all property management out, deal with the tenants for me etc. Meaning that I do not need to lift a finger ever really.My new property manager Michell Vasquez is forthcoming, easy to communicate with, fast at responding and generally professional.

If I could leave 0 stars I would.... Landlords be VERY careful

If I could leave 0 stars I would. As a landlord I could never recommend their rental department. Chesterton's take high fees, provide little to no service and worst of all - hide things in the small print. Even though I moved agents (as Chestertons were sadly so bad) they are still demanding an annual fee (and it is not small) until my tenants move out. Even though they are no longer managing the property (and lets be honest, did very little management even when they were) they can still take the money due to their hidden clause. This was deliberately not pointed out to me. They are unfortunately very underhand.

Lettings

Update: the next day they said property is ready and that we should sign the contract to start tenancy on the same day, 1 hour after we signed, they said landlord planned carpet fitting in 1.5 week after move in date! Tenancy -Kew branch: Very disappointing and unprofessional experience with Chestertons. Our agreed move-in date was delayed by repeated referencing requests and poor coordination, with the delays unfairly blamed on us. After confirming a new move-in date and collecting the full rent and deposit, they informed us just two hours later that the property was not ready due to a missing gas safety certificate. This left us without accommodation, facing additional storage and temporary housing costs. Communication was extremely poor, including an agent hanging up on my partner when he raised concerns. A stressful experience showing dishonesty , a serious lack of organisation and accountability.

Would not use Chestertons again

Would not use Chestertons again. Very bad experience. Lack of transparency, fees and costs. Found them unprofessional in not taking responsibility for their own mistakes, subsequently costing me more money, as a landlord. Will not be providing Chestertons with any further business, with any of my properties in sales or rentals after this very disappointing, dishonest experience.

Saskia is really professional and helpful. She helped me to take a video of my preferred house and explained everything about the property specifically. I am so grateful to have rented this house successfully. At the same time, she is kind-hearted as she helps my moving company to open the door without any hesitation. I want to thank her 100 times.Additionally, I also want to thank Gemryan. He is always patient and listens to me even though my English is not fluent. Thank you, all my friends.

My recent dealings with Chestertons…

My recent dealings with Chestertons were an absolute shambles! I needed to renew the current tenancy agreement ant the end of June and was advised it was in my best interests to form a new agreement rather than roll on the existing one. Because flat is in my recently deceased husbands name, I was asked to forward a copy of his will with details of the executors. I duly sent this , then was asked for a death certificate, then later a letter from a solicitor, which I didn’t feel was necessary as probate had been granted. I was then asked for the probate certificate which was duly sent. When I queried why the rent hadn’t been put into the bank account I was told we needed a new gas safety certificate which I immediately organised. I still didn’t receive the rent which the tenant had paid to Chestertons on 29th June and it was now nearly mid July. I eventually was put through to the accounts department after promises from different other operatives to chase up and sort out the problem which didn’t materialise.The accounts department were helpful and paid the money within 48 hours.Why couldn’t the relevant departments ask for all the documents needed at the same time instead of each time I rang to see why there was no progress?I really didn’t need all this hassle whilst coping with the recent loss of my husband.To make matters worse, I was then told you didn’t hold a current EICR certificate. Again I had to research and found the certificate was still in date . I relayed this information , but yet again was asked to forward a copy because there wasn’t one on the file. Why was the onus on me when there was obviously some departmental error?Just to cap it all I have now been issued with an invoiceasking for your whole years charges up front which I don’t have the funds for and you don’t accept credit card payments.As the July rent was paid net of your charges I assumed this was how it would be paid going forward.I now feel I just want to put the flat on the market as soon as possible so I don’t have to deal with any more issues like this.Marian Walker

Marian · 5 August 2024

Agent replied · 25 October 2024

Dear Mrs Walker, firstly please accept our sincere condolences for the loss of your husband. We have had time to review the file and we can see that there were additional documents that we legally required in order to complete the renewal of the Tenancy. Unfortunately when there is a death of a Landlord, we do have complete our due diligence checks as well as ensuring all the safety compliance documents are up to date. We are very sorry that this caused you unnecessary upset, this was never our intention.With regards to the fees charged, we have checked this with the accounts team and they have confirmed that these have been deduced in accordance with our Terms of Business; although on this occasion, it’s been invoiced monthly and deducted from the rent received and not in advance as you have advised. We would be very happy to have a further discussion regarding this to explain the statement if required.If you would like to discuss further, please do reach out to us and we can assist you wherever possible.

Chestertons for tenancy management

I have used Chestertons for finding tenants for my property, and managing the tenancy and property maintenance issues. They have served me well for a number of years. They always acted well particularly with end of tenancy matters and timely action to find new tenants. They have also been able to deal with new tenants snag list in a reasonable manner.I have always been allocated a dedicated property manager manager. My current manager Shakil Khan has been able to handle a number of maintenance issues involving several suppliers to my satisfaction. The other benefit of using Chestertons is that they have a number of staff who can quickly step in to cover leave absences etc for the dedicated team.

Vanessa 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.

Professional, 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.
