Chestertons has promoted Jordana Miles to head of short lets, almost a year after she joined the agency as business development manager within the division. Short lets arranged by the team, which she will now head up, typically run for around two-and-a-half to three months.
Role and responsibilities
Miles said: “A property can still be well suited to the sales market even if it hasn’t found the right buyer yet. “Owners don’t necessarily have to leave it empty and absorb the costs while they wait. We can assess the demand for a short let, prepare the property and generate income while keeping the sales strategy in view.”
Miles works across Chestertons’ 35 London branches, alongside local sales and lettings teams, to identify properties suitable for short-term tenancies. She joined Chestertons in October 2025 after spending more than five years at Draker Lettings. Her previous experience includes the short-let markets in Sloane Square, Notting Hill and Fulham. She also previously managed a team of eight negotiators at Draker’s Chelsea and Kensington branch.
Industry response
Katinka Hill, head of lettings at Chestertons, commented: “Jordana has been a driving force in our Short Lets team, combining real passion and focus with considerable expertise. “She has a clear grasp of what the service offers owners and occupants alike, and through close collaboration with colleagues across the business, she has made it easier than ever for clients to use this flexible option.” Hill added that Miles had also helped the team and its clients navigate changes introduced by the Renters’ Rights Act.
