Chattertons, New Eltham
405 Footscray Road London SE9 3UL

The good name of Chattertons has been established since 1893 and we are extremely proud of our roots and love to talk about our history, we have a small selection of historical pieces from our more recent past, dispayed at our New Eltham office.
The business was acquired by Michael Healey (FNAEA) in 1981 and his vision to offer great service from a company that could be trusted is as strong today as the day he set out to continue the story of Chattertons.
These days the business of Estate Agency has changed so much particularly with the inception of the internet which has made the process of buying, selling and renting exciting, easy and instantaneous.
At Chattertons we embrace all the modern methods mixed in with good old fashioned service
Testimonials
SELLER
Dear Doug, Tracy & the Chattertons Team - Thank you so much for all your help, support & invaluable advice over the past few months. It was great working with you. We are all settling in well into our new home in North Yorkshire. Thanks again - Mr & Mrs Hall
SELLER
I am writing on behalf of our family to thank you for the terrific service we have received from your estate agency. Doug Paterson sold our mother's house for us and went to extraordinary lengths to make sure the sale went through. It was a difficult sale as we dealt with two sets of challenging buyers and a solicitor (ours) who was in the running for charisma by-pass of the year award. Doug kept his cool and smoothed the way throughout. We have already recommended you to others in the area and would not hesitate to do so again should the opportunity arise. Yours sincerely - Mrs Mills-Catten

I have used Chattertons for years, I bought my first house from them in 2003, and since then have never considered going anywhere else. Last June, I put a house on the market with Chattertons and as per my usual experience with Chattertons and Doug, everything went through smoothly. Doug and Katie were really professional and helpful throughout the whole process, from marketing the property, viewings and advising and updating throughout the whole process. Chattertons make what is generally one of the most stressful experiences in life relaxed and easy, even at times when things can feel slow and stressy, they are always there to reassure. I wouldn't go anywhere else. I also rent properties with Chattertons and appreciate the time that Janet and Tracy have for me with all my questions. Finally, my house completed when Chattertons were closed due to Covid, but Mike and Doug had organised for keys to be picked up from an alternative address during a really difficult time for them. Thank you Chattertons.

To you all, thank you for everything you have done. Especially your patience & time. With very best wishes - Mr & Mrs Bailey

We listed our property for sale with Chattertons July last year. I instantly warmed to Doug who was professional, knowledgable and friendly. Chattertons did not let us down and the property sold in less than two weeks.Throughout the process both Katie and Doug were constantly in touch to keep me up to date, and despite many bumps in the road along the way with regard to the purchase of our new home, they remained on hand to offer calm and sensible advice and kept everything on track with the sale of my property. Buying and selling a home is always going to be a stressful business but Chattertons made the process that bit smoother and I would happily recommend them to anyone who is considering selling their property.
SELLER

SELLER
Doug and the team at Chattertons were first class throughout our transaction. We sold and bought through Chatterton and they were brilliant for both.I cannot recommend them enough and they are the go to people if you're selling or buying, their knowledge and attention to detail really showed when the pressure was on. Doug's calm management of difficult situations was so helpful and really made what is a difficult time go smoothly.Apart from their professionalism above all else the genuinely nice people that want your transaction to go through the way you want. They also go out of their way to help you even with stuff that has nothing to do with them, such as recommendations for services that will help the whole process go smoothly.Doug was honest and upfront even when he had bad news or to give you a push along and it was abundantly clear he knows the property business inside and out.We would recommend to anyone without hesitation.

Katie and Doug were fantastic throughout our sale and purchase. The team dealt with all of our issues quickly and professionally.

SELLER
Dear Doug, Tracy & all staff at Chattertons - Thank you so much for your help in selling our house, we wish we had gone with you from the start and things would have been much easier. As you know, we tried to sell our house through another local agent with many branches but found that they over valued the house to get the sale. They then told us to drop the price when it didn't sell. They also got us to go with people who were not really in a position to buy. I am so glad we went with Chattertons, our local agent as they have extensive knowledge of the local area and managed to sell our house in less than a week. Not only did they get us the right buyer they also handled everything with great professionalism and dealt with all aspects of our sale and helped with our onward purchase. Thanks again with all your help. It's been a great pleasure dealing with you. Yours sincerely - Mr & Mrs Baldock
SELLER
Thank you so much for all your hard work selling our two houses, we really do appreciate it.
SELLER
I am selling my house with Doug at Chattertons and so far I have struggled to find other estate agents that match up. I have asked Doug many questions as it is a long time since I have moved and he has always answered them competently and patiently. Thank you. Mr Harris
SELLER
Amazing, delightful, inspiring are just some of the words that spring to mind when thinking of any of our communications with you! You have 'managed' our anxieties, fears, worries well and have been exemplary. I worked in financial services a long time ago with the Halifax, Abbey National and Barclays as a customer service advisor, mortgage advisor and financial advisor before jumping ship and going into nursing, but never have I been impressed as much as I have now, with Chattertons - J Vydelingum
SELLER

We cannot recommend Chatterton's highly enough. They were incredibly professional, polite and reassuring during the sale of two houses. The team really will go the extra mile for you, and we were kept informed every step of the way. There is never any chasing to do with Chattertons, they are always one step ahead! Aside from being extremely good at getting houses sold, they are genuinely very pleasant, honest and hardworking people. Thank you for everything Team Chattertons :)
SELLER
I wanted to provide feedback on my very positive experience using Chattertons Estate Agency when I sold my old house and with the purchase of my new property earlier this year (2021). I mostly dealt with Doug Paterson as the lead contact and the level of service I received was fantastic!Doug was incredibly proactive, professional, knowledgeable and when required candid about the position I was in - he also worked outside of normal working hours on multiple occasions to get our sale and purchase over the line. The end outcome was that I was able to sell my house, and purchase a new property (that me and my family love) - and throughout the process, we were very well managed and it was fairly pain-free.I have recommended Chattertons to all of my friends who are looking to buy and sell in the area.Superb service!
BUYER
Doug from Chattertons estate agents in New Eltham has been helping me with my house purchase. It was a long journey in getting the right house but I've found their service excellent, they are professional, so helpful. From my experience Doug always seem to put their customers first, he was always a text away. I can't rate him and his team highly enough. He will be my go to man in future for anything related to property. Doug responded to queries fairly quickly and was a calming presence when things got stressful.

I was really happy with the customer service I received from Chatterton's estate agents in Footscray. Katie dealt with my purchase and she was really helpful and professional. She always responded to my queries promptly and this made the whole process feel alot less stressful. I was thrilled to receive a moving in package from the agents on the date of completion, the package contained several goodies. This was a lovely gesture and one I had not expected. I would definitley recomend the agents. The professionalism from everyone involved in my purchase was A class. Thank you to Doug and Mike also.
