Chestertons are by far the worst lettings agency in London. I used them for 4 years to let my property and it was not an enjoyable time.
When they found me a tenant for my property I was excited, the offer was lower than I wanted but I went with it. Chestertons held back key information which I only found out about 3 months into the agreement by the tenants not them. If I had that information at the start I would not have gone ahead with it.
During the re-letting processes at the start of this year, Chestertons automatically re-listed my property without any discussions with me on price, furnished or un-furnished, length of contract etc. They also found a total of ZERO suitable applicants for my property, the ones they did find were referrals from my current tenants. I negotiated a deal with these tenants all confirmed with Chestertons, only to get a call 3 days later from a manager saying there was some mixed communication and the tenants have not agreed to the terms and did not agree to the terms outlined by senior lettings agent.
Lastly, the communication. I lost count of the amount of people I spoke to from Chestertons, and 3 of them i'm still waiting for them to return my call!!!!
Save yourself a lot of stress and hassle and choose any other agency please.

Very patronising approach from the agent and lack of transparency in process of a flat sale around seller’s motivations. Deeply disappointed- waste of time and money, will not use this agents again....

I wish we have done some research before letting these individuals dealing with our property.
Once the tenants paid the full fees and rent in advance, the agents correspondence stopped when we started asking what happened to the funds paid by the new tenants
