Truly the worst real estate I have ever dealt with. The property managers are useless. They don't even convey messages onto the landlords so you have to constantly follow up. When you follow up they want you to add your issues to their portal that looks like it was built in 1998. Then when... Read Full Review

They take months of rental proceeds upfront without informing you, for managing your letting. On enquiry, I was told this is standard practice. That's a lie. Why would any self respecting landlord shoulder the risk of paying years of letting fees upfront to a management agent when the tenants... Read Full Review

Terrible, the agent lied. We wanted a pet friendly flat, and this was a MUST have requirement. He said that won't be part of the contract because is not in the building lease but the landlord was ok with it.

If only I could put zero stars. The Management Department at Chestertons is simply woeful. There is no commitment to the block they manage, poor communication (if any) and leave residents with no hot water or heat. Massive service charges are that are in the main unsubstantiated and operate... Read Full Review
