Carlo - an exceptional agent

Carlo has been amazing over the last, difficult year as I tried to purchase the property Chestertons were marketing.
Due to difficulties in selling my property, the process has taken a long time and Carlo has been diligent in keeping me informed and updated.
His thoughts and actions enabled me to finally purchase the property and I am very grateful for the patience and professionalism he showed.
Throughout this period, Carlo always returned my calls and answered my questions in a positive and good humoured manner.
I feel he is a very good asset to Chestertons.

I am a student looking to rent a house/flat with other students, I called up to enquire about a property, after being informed that it was no longer available Georgina was incredibly helpful and friendly, noting down my information to inform me of any similar properties that get put on the market. Overall, a very pleasent experience so far! (will update later in the process).

I use Chestertons to manage my rental property.

I use Chestertons for property management, but their maintenance costs are making me reconsider. They rely on contractors with highly inflated rates—recently pricing a basic, one-day decorating job at over £1,200.

Putney Chestertons

Sarah Doyle (Property Manager) from Putney Chestertons was so friendly and helpful in transitioning to my new home. She was always making sure I had everything ready and replied promptly when I had a query. Sarah was also thorough when I had to move out as well. Overall a smooth experience and would reccomend for any tenants.

I just wanted to say a big thank you to Francesca Moramarco who has done a fantastic job helping us to negotiate a favourable outcome when we had to renew our tenancy. She took time to listen and understand our situation before speaking to the landlord. Her responses were prompt and she kept us updated throughout the process. We would have not been able to achieve this without her persistence and positive attitude. Thank you again for her hard work and the great job she did.

Olympia Grigoropoulos is THE BEST.

We have had excellent customer service from our incredible property manager Olympia Grigoropoulos. Olympia is fast to respond, always extremely dynamic and she’s also great at thinking outside the box in order to find us the most cost effective & efficient solutions for any issues we have with our flat.

£16,000 PCM Kensington flat not fit for habitation. Weeks to resolve - multiple lies and delays RE deposit return

Booked a one month rental in central London for medical treatment under the assurance it was suitable for a short let. There was no wi-fi when we moved in and it took them over a week to rectify.

Even then - it was only fixed it because we told them how easy it was to get a portable one from across the street...

During these ten days we had to rent temp office spaces down the road to work.

There were no glasses, mugs, cutlery or basic kitchen equipment. Again we got some after 8 days of being passed from person to person.
First - the letting agents said it wasn't their responsibility - which, to be fair it wasn't. Our poor agent used his own salary to buy us kitchen supplies and needed to reimbursed later by the company.

There was horrific staining on the rug and the condition wasn't as advertised. The mattress had stains. This is all after they pumped up the price on us last minute.

One of the even more concerning things was that the banham locks had been changed to a generic key. One lock didn't work and one could easily be copied so the apartment wasn't as safe as it should have been either.

Alexandra Carberry was particularly unhelpful making constant reassurances that amounted to very little. The entire Kensington team was patronising and unprofessional. Alliyah also.

It took me several attempts after we moved out to push Alliyah on returning our deposit. Alliyah blamed the landlord and the 'circus blame game' continued until we finally received it back after much stress and constant effort on our end.

There is nothing seamless about their service. Once they have your money they don't care. Having spent most of my life in London and having rented several properties these are by far the most unscrupulous I have encountered. Buyer Beware!
