The James Chiltern team have been great with us throughout our 3 year tenancy. The flat has always been attended to whenever there has been an issue. The Landlord has been cooperative and also very understanding and pleasant throughout too.

No ridiculous fees or unnecessary surcharges were applied to renewals and when initially signing the agreement

I would highly recommend them to anyone wishing to rent both long term and short term

This agency is managed by a shifty little man who never gives a straight answer to a question and seems to get angry when you ask questions at a viewing. James Chiltern are a waste of space in my opinion and are best avoided....
