The personal touch

After Allan Fuller, despite teething problems with the accounting, help was at hand and everything was resolved. Sarah Doyle has always been extremely friendly and helpful and still adds the personal touch to looking after my property which is especially welcome. I trust this approach to managing property will continue.

Chestertons Battersea - Mr Chad Green

We moved to London from another city a few months ago and dealt with Chestertons Battersea during our search. From the outset Chad Green was very professional and an excellent agent.

Moving across cities was definitely daunting, but Chad made the process clear and manageable. He was always available and easy to speak with, patient, and always willing to take the time to explain things properly. He understood what we were looking for, offered straightforward and honest advice, and guided us through each stage without any pressure.

What stood out most was his practical approach and extremely reliable communication. He was proactive, clear in his explanations, and consistently responsive right through to completion. It felt like he genuinely cared about helping us find the right home rather than simply getting a transaction over the line.

Overall, a very positive experience with Chestertons Battersea and especially with Chad. We would confidently recommend him to anyone moving to the area.

Chesterton's Review

Generally service is pretty reasonable, however I am continually frustrated that Chestertons still don't make a note on their records to copy myself and my father into all communications, whichever new staff members are either emailing me or my father separately, surely this is not too much to ask

Smooth renewal of tenancy and helpful property manager

Both Sharon Chattalis and Lavie Kim have been extremely helpful and considerate through the process of renewing the tenancy at my flat. Thanks to them it has been a smooth and successful transition.

I should also acknowledge the help that Jessica Jimenez has been providing over the past 18 months as property manager. She has been consistently responsive and reliable, as well as proactive in helping with sometimes difficult situations.

Josh went beyond expectations!

We had a fantastic experience working with Josh Wilkinson at Chestertons during our recent house purchase. He was incredibly proactive, managing all the communication between solicitors and the seller to keep things moving forward. What we appreciated most were the extra tips and advice he gave us throughout the journey, it made a complex process feel much more manageable.

If you’re looking for an agent who is professional, helpful, and genuinely goes the extra mile, we highly recommend Josh!

Be careful

Be careful, they make you pay their bank fees!!

Zosia Gray supported us on a very challenging tenancy issue. We felt very concerned about our rights and what steps would be open to us and it had taken months to try and resolve. However within one day of being allocated this matter, Zosia quickly got to grips with it and gave superb support and closed it down within hours whilst achieving a very favourable outcome. She also provided great strategic advice on next steps. Zosia is clearly a highly experienced and very capable professional. We were very grateful she was allocated to our account. Thank you!

Merete dCS, Camden

Chestertons have been managing my apartment for 3 years and I have been very happy with them.
Ryan Briggs is our contact person and he has done a good job with communication and handling different kind of problems. Chestertons have taken care of our HMO and when we had to change tenants they quickly found new ones. I feel in professional hands and I am happy that I can rely on that Chestertons are on top of renewing certificates for gas and electricity. I would recommend Chestertons if you need an agent.

Shadane Sutherland McGhie from…

Shadane Sutherland McGhie from Chestertons in Canary Wharf delivered an exceptional service when we were searching for a one-bedroom apartment for my son. I was genuinely impressed by how proactive he was in sourcing viewings for properties that weren't even on the market. He went out of his way to contact past clients to see if they might be in a position to sell — his determination to create opportunities where none existed was truly refreshing. In a challenging market, Shadane's drive and resourcefulness made all the difference. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an agent who goes above and beyond.

A throughly professional long-established company

Chestertons have always found me a tenant very quickly in the difficult short let market. They are an old established reliable company and I can thoroughly recommend them. Ryan Briggs, a property manager at Camden, has always been extremely helpful and efficient and I usually turn first to him with any problem.

Megan Lumb was great, more generally a bit up and down

Generally Megan Lumb in the team was great to deal with - responsive and very helpful with negotiating our tenancy. However it did feel like quite a change once we had an agreed offer - the referencing process, identity checks and getting the contract agreed was quite clunky and slow and needed persistent chasing from us and felt quite unprofessional at times. Overall however we have found a great flat and have made it through the admin eventually!

Review for Risida Geeganage

This review is for my property manager Risida Geeganage who was so helpful during my tenancy. The apartment I rented had a few maintenance issues crop up during my stay that required extensive coordination on Risida’s part. She took on that burden and kept me apprised in the most timely ways. I was also undergoing medical treatment at that time, and I appreciated her compassion in scheduling appointments around my hospital visits. Risida excels in communication, the most important skill for a property manager.

We worked with Chestertons to rent a flat. The flat was landlord managed, therefore they only worked with us during tenancy start and end period. For the paper work everything was okay. But there was a disagreement with the landlord while we are moving, they were not involved at all and mentioned that this is landlord managed property, they cannot be part of it.
