I would just like to say a BIG thank you to Scarlett Harrison, Property Manager, for all of her excellent and prompt service in regards to my recent contract extension. The communication was very thorough through every step and I greatly appreciate it. In addition in the past when I have had queries she has always been efficient and happy to help which is very reassuring. Thank you.

Tom H from Botley branch Chancellors is a great and knowledgeable agent. He's very responsive, corteous and very friendly. It was a pleasure to get assistance from him with property viewings. I would highly recommend this agent and also Chancellors agency if you're looking to buy a property.

Thanks to Michael Trueman at Chancellors we have just completed our house purchase. It has been an exceptionally protracted and difficult process - without Michael's patience and professionalism I can truly say this purchase would not have gone through. Michael kept communication channels open, was able to see both sides, and with humour and diplomacy nursed this ultimately successful sale through to completion. This man deserves a medal!

I will like to thank Casey Gramson for her FANTASTIC work managing my property. She is always helpful and returned all phones calls and emails same day. She is highly talented. Silvia Clemete

Worst customer service. Filled up online booking form for viewing 10 days in advance. Nobody contacted for days. I have started calling them but no competent person picks up phone just promises that someone will call me shortly to confirm viewing slots. Well - noone did. Finally received an email saying the day I chose for viewings is "the busiest for Chancellors" - well it is a Saturday as it is my only off day - and they are only able to show me 1 property out of the 8 I expressed interest to view! Very disappointed.

As a first time buyer, and native Trinidadian who now lives in the UK, I was apprehensive about my first property purchase but Cormac, the Senior Sales Executive at Chancellors guided me through the process expertly, professionally and to be perfectly honest it was a joy. I am now the owner of my dream property in Oxfordshire and would thoroughly recommend both Cormac and Chancellors.

Great experience dealing with Ethan Hylton and Chancellors over the past few weeks. It was a pleasure to have such a friendly and professional person to assist in viewings and information requests regarding the property we were interested in, and to be kept informed and up to date with developments along the way.

Kasandra Hopkins was brilliant, despite my having canceled on her twice and when we did finally meet, she was great with my six months old grandson, who insisted on taking centre stage.

Emma Cotterell has been dealing with my rental. She was really responsive and helpful especially when an unexpected change in my circumstances required some out of the box thinking. Thoroughly satisfied

Dealing with Arabella is a pleasure. She calls you back (why don't people do that anymore???) when you leave a message for her. She gives honest advice and does what she says she will do. On the 3 or 4 time I have dealt with her she has been professional and a pleasure to deal with. A credit to her industry and company.

Very happy with the service, support and transparency offered by Chancellors, Botley. More specifically from Rhys who was very attentive, engaging and knowledgable when it came to discussing to both purchasing and selling. Rhys assisted with all questions, providing great insight into the market and seller situation, whilst remaining committed to all follow ups.

Amazing service! Warm and friendly too! Rebecca and Katy from the Chancellors Botley office went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly for us. They were incredibly supportive, professional, attentive and quick to respond - and always had time for us! They’re totally on it! Their service was impeccable!

Dreadful service, continuous changes in staff, failure to carry out basic instructions, continuous failure to keep records up dated, continuous failure to fully and completely inform vendors of what has or hasn’t been agreed, and ultimately to blackmail vendors to make good your failings. This is NOTHING short of disgraceful behaviour, that had our decease aunt not been such a kind person we fully would have left this run to court proceedings, comfortable in the knowledge that we would countersue for the costs and interest and that we would happily have involved media at the most valuable to Chancellors point…locally, whilst defending / countersuing. At no point has Chanellors managed to even reply to questions / respond to complaints (and there is a very long list of them) nor unfortunately have Chancellors apologised to us, and the costs incurred by their numerous changes in staff, failure to comply to instructions or update staff etc, has ultimately cost a charity well over £1700! Disgusted

I really don't know what wrong is with this company. First nicely they contact you, and later they don't pick up the phone or reply for messages. They keeps flats to rent which are not available any more. Someone could tell me for what are you keep them then? I can understand mistake but is not first time when I caught a contact with your Agents and I'm getting ignored. It's not nice especially when you earn money for helping them. No recomend

Horrendous lettings agency. It's been over 5 weeks since I've moved out and my deposit hasn't been returned, despite many promises that it will. All the agency fees and where do they go? You get dismissed at every opportunity - even by managers. The start of my tenancy should have been a flashing red light with changing the moving date around and the lackluster approach. If I owed them money there is no way this would be dragged out. Do yourself a favour and AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

Excellent customer service! Georgia Onions helped me with my rental property, she kept me up to date and confirmed everything via email we agreed on the phone. Only one negative, due to management availability during the upcoming bank holiday weekend, I needed travel 160 miles to get my passport verified prior to the move in - this wasn’t the best experience, but at least the team was apologetic about the issues and thankfull after I popped around with the required ID. Fingers crossed there will be no issues on the move in day.

This is the worst property management group i have ever seen. They mis-sold the agreement with tenant, by not disclosing the matter in full, and later cause a lot of trouble to tenant. I would suggest not to sign up property managed by Chancellors. Or if you signing up, please get all the clause clarified as they don't disclose all the terms properly. For my case they just mention tenant responsible for utilities & water in agreement as a standard clause. Never disclose a huge fixed amount of water charge applies to the property. As a responsible tenant, tried to setup water account at the beginning, however water company confirmed no account exist for that property and same informed to agent. Spent entire tenure (16 months) and nobody inform anything about water bill outstanding. 2 months after leaving the property, agent coming back with outstanding water bill part of landlord's maintenance fees, which need to be paid out. While enquiring they advised, it was not mentioned clearly to me, however this is outstanding water bill need to be cleared in time. I would have not signed the agreement at the first place if this was clearly mentioned to me at the beginning. So must say, stay away from this company.

Dreadful. Was very interested in viewing a property but they kept putting me off (couldn't make this day, didn't do weekends, no staff free etc. .etc). When I finally pinned down an appointment, they rang the morning of the viewing to say an offer had been accepted on the property. Funnily enough, I've been watching said property and it's still for sale (not STC - For Sale)!! This has now happened with another property but the estate agent in this case was more blunt. I was told they preferred viewers who had already sold their home or at least had a firm offer on it. When I persisted, she announced they'd had an offer on it anyway. You guessed it; it's still For Sale (not STC !!!). I do feel sorry for the vendors. What a shocking outfit.

Rented and bought through Chancellors - one of the worst levels of customer experience I’ve ever received! Renting they only care about annually increasing your rent but not about getting in touch with the landlord to fix any issues ... we went straight to our landlord and bypassed them. When it came to moving out - no notice or contact of a closing inspection before we left, we had to chase them. Gave us keys to the property to finalise cleaning (after a post inspection after we’d moved out!!) Then received a panic email that the new tenants were moving in that day!!! When it came to buying through them... the sales woman who showed us round the property was beyond pushy - basically making us feel like she’d say anything to get us to buy. The gentleman who kept us updated on progress during the sale struggled to do just that! Wouldn’t recommend these guys for anything.

Casey Gramson (account manager) has always been very professional and performed tirelessly and diligently especially during a challenging time with a particularly tricky client. Her communication has been seamless, and she has followed through on all issues that were raised to completion, including ensuring all works were managed efficiently. She has been very consultative and highly reliable and assisted me with all enquires. Her detailed knowledge on all aspects (legal/contractors etc)has also been greatly appreciated. Highly recommended !

This agencyin headington has been hassling me with calls for 4 months despite asking them on several occassion not to; i have never registered with them and they've obtained my details.I'm not selling a house and don't want to buy one. If i did i woud not go through them. Their tactics are appauling and if they are spending time calling likes of me then you could be wasting your fees. Have passed on complaints to leading authorties now also. Buy from elsewhere.
