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... Read Full Review

The Worst!!! Don't be fooled by the smooth talking owner - he/they are purely interested in taking your money. Thoroughly disorganised, unprofessional, unapologetic, referencing of tenants is almost non existent. Would never use... Read Full Review

Absolutely horrendous service, no regard for their customers and incapable of providing effective communication. I've never dealt with a company that has such consistently low standards, each time you think they've hit a new low they outdo themselves yet again. Avoid at all... Read Full Review

“I can honestly say that the service I have had from the James Chiltern team in Croydon (especially Ayyaz) has been absolutely brilliant.

Great experience of the service with James Chiltern. Ayyaz went above and beyond to show us around the properties in the area. We were even introduced to some of the neighbours to get more of a feel for the area. A nice touch and really helpful when trying to imagine yourself living in the... Read Full Review

I was very impressed with how James Chiltern went about selling my flat. Although the viewings were not as many as I would have liked (I put this down to the slowness of the market at the time), However the viewings I did get were genuine. (a rather large agent who I used before seemed to nab... Read Full Review

One of the worst estate agents to deal with. I had to terminate my contract with them after 8 weeks as they couldn't get me a single viewing for my property.As soon as Ayyaz signed the contract he went on a holiday for 4 weeks and after 3 weeks Nichole went on Holidays.So for few days it was...

James Chiltern have been in charge of renting my property for three years now. Thus far it has been a good relationship from the very first time James came to look at the property for rental purposes. I felt very much at easy with James and there was no pressure to go ahead with anything. In fact I ... Read Full Review

My husband and I are looking for a place to buy. We viewed a few properties with James Chiltern, usually with James and everything was fine. However a few times another agent showed us around.
