Iv rented from a few different agencies but this has to be the worst with the way Canary Wharf staff members have treated me during my tenancy at a property managed by this company. It has been a nightmare of a tenancy and I wouldn’t wish it on my enemy, I’m glad the landlord helped but the staff were not helpful at all. I avoided raising this during my tenancy to avoid any issues with my deposit as I faced so many issues already and didn’t want to add on at the time. I rented a property and ever since the viewing, I have constantly been lied to about the fixes that would be made to the property, a clean before I moved in, and other things that were never done. I dealt with an agent named Arsida Kalimashi, who had poor communication and sold me a pack of lies. When I complained to her manager, Maria Reynolds, she also lied on behalf of her employee. The property had many viewings on the day I visited, so I couldn't see it properly, but it looked okay. Arsida mentioned all the things that would be fixed and also lied about which furniture would remain in the property. To make matters worse, she told the landlord that I had seen and accepted the inventory list when, in fact, she never sent it to me and lied about it. I took the property under the condition that it would be deep cleaned and issues fixed, but guess what? It wasn't done at all. I can’t express how poor the condition of the property was: broken fittings, a stinky and moldy sofa and washing machine, marks all over the flooring, a dead soil bag and an old table on the balcony, a loose front door handle, an oven in very bad condition, broken freezer drawers, a heavily stained mattress, and more! Arshida had one job! She did not even visit the property before I moved in to see everything was okay, and no one from Chestertons visited the property either. They only seemed interested in their commission and lied at all costs to get it. In the end, I arranged a cleaner myself, and the landlord was sent the invoice. To top it off, I complained to her manager, Maria Reynolds, who was even worse than Arsida. She lied to my face, claiming that Arshida had checked the property but showed no proof. Anyone with common sense would know that this property was not ready a tenant, and it is, then you are absolutely deluded. NEVER AGAIN! The headache from walking into the property it was a relief to leave and not be paired with this company. My experience at another agency now has been so much better and it’s nice to know not all agencies are like Chestertons. I have no faith this complaint will go anywhere but I hope you prove me wrong.
No procedure set.

I'm a landlord and my property is being managed by Chestertons Canary Wharf Office. First of all, Chestertons have always been very very slow in responding my query or email. I once chased about my query for 3 weeks and then at the end of 3rd week when I tried to follow up again, I received... Read Full Review

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 There were hidden fees, (some were...

The worst experience I have ever had interacting with any business, ever. The list of problems gets worse as you go down: I spent 6 months in the property and they were terrible as a management company, e.g. the heating system and bath were broken which they refused to fix. When I left they... Read Full Review

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 ... Read Full Review
