I Would not recommend Chancellors, I have lost all faith in relations of customer services and branch representatives, there has been nothing but hassle since the start, I am now being invoiced energy bills when I never even moved into the property (Chancellors mistakes), I have had un answered emails!! And was given a contract that wasn’t even possible to proceed with. Hope this review helps others as the past four weeks has been nothing but stress.

I recently had the pleasure of working with George Courtney-Cramp and the incredible team at Chancellors in Woodstock and I cannot speak highly enough of the exceptional service they provided throughout my home-buying journey. Throughout negotiations and the closing process, George demonstrated remarkable negotiation skills and attention to detail. He navigated potential hurdles with ease, ensuring a smooth and stress-free transaction. It was evident that George was not just interested in closing a deal but in ensuring my satisfaction and peace of mind. Beyond their professional competence, the team at Chancellors in Woodstock exhibited a genuine passion for helping individuals and families find their perfect homes. It was this personal touch that made the entire experience enjoyable and memorable. I wholeheartedly recommend George Courtney-Cramp and the team at Chancellors in Woodstock to anyone in search of a dedicated and reliable partner in their home-buying journey. Thanks to their expertise and commitment, I am now happily settled in my new home, and I owe much of that success to their outstanding service.

Chancellors Group of Estate Agents Wow, what a Proffesional outfit again. Oh Mr Evenett we haven’t bothered checking our records so your gas safety is out of date. Can you turn off your gas supply. Um what about heat and hot water but no one can answer the question! This company is unreal, don’t know why landlords bother with them. Take money for doing nothing and happy for the second time in a year to leave a family out in the cold…….can’t go anywhere as one of the daughters has covid!! Fuming is an understatement

A number of days after my tenants moved out of my property and while I was preparing to move back in. Chancellors sent in a contractor to undertake an electrical survey. The first I knew of it was when I received an invoice for the survey in the amount of £525 plus VAT and a list.of £1300 worth of work. Following a complaint I received an email saying you authorised the survey in March at a cost £200 plus VAT. Unfortunately the survey was delayed sorry for the inconvenience. That is palmed off to say the least. 1. It's August not March or April 2. I am no longer renting the property out 3. My agreement with Chancellors has ended 4. The quote was £200 not £525 5. They were not authorised to enter my house. I am more than inconvenienced

I have used Chancellors for a while now and there have been some ups and downs but I have found that when you develop a working relationship with a named individual it makes a real difference In particular, Shannon Seymour has done an amazing job in trying to résolve recent issues. She has liaised closely with the tenants, us and the contractors making sure issues were resolved quickly and efficiently. She is courteous and really helpful. I should add that Charmaine Smith was also great!!

Well where do you start. Firstly this is not a reflection on the Sales team. They have been pleasurable to communicate with but little they can do in terms of letting. Office Manager????????? Who ? THE LETTINGS TEAM ARE A JOKE. TIMOTHY IN PARTICULAR!!!!! NO RESPONSE, LITTLE CORRESPONDANCE AND POOR COMMUNICATION. The background. A young couple apply to rent a property. The young lady is 28 weeks pregnant and looking to up size due to arrival and a growing family. Usual viewings etc takes place and an application is applied for to rent a property. All the paperwork etc is submitted and the couple await the response from letting team and landlord after compulsory checks are complete. During this period Chancellors are advising the couple to hand notice of termination to their current letting agreement with another landlord. They DO NOT take this advice until 100% the letting agreement is signed by all parties. This was a struggle as the letting team did not know a particular body part from their elbow. 15 Days after signed agreement an email is received from Chancellors informing the couple that the landlord has withdrawn. NO REASON OR EXPLANATION. JUST AN EMAIL. NO PHONE CALL FROM LETTING TEAM OFFERING ANY OTHER PROPERTIES OR ADVICE!!!!! JUST AN EMAIL. There is now a young couple 28 weeks pregnant having handed in their Notice to terminate soon to be homeless. GREAT WORK CHANCELLORS!!!!!!!!!!

Chancellors asked several times to come and update the valuation on our property. We arranged for 1400hrs today. At 1410 nobody had arrived and so I called the office ….. 1st lie - I was told that I had cancelled the appointment by the lad who answered the phone, no I hadn't, why would I be ringing to find out where Chris was? 2nd lie - Oh we tried to ring you several times this morning to check you would be in......that's strange as I was in all morning and have no missed calls!! Its better to tell the truth than to try and come up with pathetic excuses which can be checked. I have told them I have no faith in them and to take me off their books. Very disappointing service after my wife and I spent hours tidying the inside and outside of the house.

George went above and beyond to make my purchasing experience as smooth and as positive as possible. Nothing was too much trouble and he was always able to assist to move the process on as quickly as possible. I would definitely recommend Chancellors services.

I was assisted by Amy Midlane and Leisa Copper to rent my new home and both have been fantastic from start to finish, super friendly, really helpful and kept in touch every step of the way checking in with me, making sure I understood everything. Leisa went above and beyond to help me get together everything I needed for the references and took time to make sure I could do everything I needed to before I move in. And Amy made sure everything went through without any issues. I've been really impressed and would definitely recommend Chancellors on the basis of this experience.

I cannot say enough good things about Chancellors in general. We have been customers of theirs since 2003 and have always enjoyed excellent personal service from them. They have always gone that extra mile - that's why we've stayed with them so long and will continue to support them. Of particular note is the long-suffering and endlessly patient Mary Hughes who puts up with demanding clients such as ourselves! She really pulls out all the stops to make sure we secure the best options, and she is incredibly quick and efficient in dealing with issues. Thanks Mary for all your hard work. And well done to Chancellors in general for your excellent service. Here's to many more years.

Omg, boiler broke down on the coldest day of the year. I spoke to Sarah, Courtney and Danny the gas engineer and had the most fabulous customer service ever. Danny facetimed me (bless him- had had to look at my morning face) after Courtney called him out and explained the issue. Danny talked me through it and I fixed it in ten seconds instead of him having to come all the way out. I am so genuinely pleased with this service. Thanks for coming to work today.

Id like to thank our property manager Simon Butt for being so helpful every step of the way with our property. It is our first rented accomodation and the house was not ready when we moved in. Locks and windows did not work, the washing machine broke within a month and service men have been called out on around 4 seperate occasions but Simon was there with an answer as soon as we asked him for help and handled everything. If not for him then the whole sitation would have been so much more stressful but he was there replying to emails and calling repairmen as soon as we found a problem. Any problems were resolved within a week or two. Thank you for all your hard work, quick responses and for being a great support line for us!

Dear Chancellors team. we are extremely disappointed with the situation which resulted from your negligence. We moved in to an apartment managed by you with a car park run by a private company. You were supposed to provide us with a parking permit for a space in that car park (as it is included in the rent) but you have not. As the move in date was Friday afternoon and we had to wait until 7pm for the cleaning company hired by you, we could not contact you about that issue over the weekend. There was nowhere else to park outside the premise so we parked where I was supposed to and received two parking tickets on separate days as a result of that. I called you about that fact and it took you a week and a half to provide me with a replacement permit. We felt that it is unfair for us to pay the fine since we had the right to park there. First we appealed to the parking management company trying to explain the situation and highlighting the fact that I had the right to park from day one… without any luck. In this case we expect you to refund us a total of 120 pounds for the parking tickets as they were a result of your negligence. When presented with our position in a telephone conversation your answer was - “We are sorry for the resulting situation but there is nothing we can do about that. You will have to pay it yourself”, without even explaining why! We don’t feel that is right. It was your responsibility to ensure that we receive the permit on the day of our move in. When we called about it being missing you were not aware of that and explained that it seems that the previous tenants did not hand it in. To our knowledge the apartment was made vacant on the 16th of June giving you two weeks to become aware of the missing permit. In any case we expected a higher standard from a large and renowned company like Chancellors and certainly better customer service. We sincerely hope that you will reconsider your stance on this matter and improve our perception of your standards.

I've just had a successful letting with Chancellors in Sunningdate. I dealt mostly with Jenny Wintermeyer who was a pleasure to work with, friendly, polite and very well informed. Because we were pressed for time, they pulled out the stops to finish all the paperwork in very quick time and in a very professional manner. The team who answered the phone were also very polite and helpful, especially Kate and Lauren. [Sorry I didn't have the chance to speak with Fraser - I'm sure he would have been just as helpful.]

We recently sold our house through Chancellors. We found George and the team at the Woodstock branch to be very efficient and helpful. They communicated well with us and we were happy with the service we received.

We would like to thank Chancellors for completing the sale of our property. Especially Wasim who took over part way through and pushed through a tough negotiation. He seemed to work a lot harder that other agents we had dealt with. We would be happy to use Wasim again.

Brilliant service across the board. In particular Rachel Axton at Thameside has been more than helpful on a number of occasions and I cannot compliment her work ethic enough. She does indeed go the extra mile to make sure the job is done. In my own experience, things are nearly never straightforward, however Rachel has always made sure that everything is organised and try her very best to make sure the outcome suits everyone.

This is the first time I’ve dealt with Chancellers letting agents over the past year and a half. Recently Rachel Axton has provided me with excellent customer service as I have now vacated the property. Rachel is a prime example of how to deliver a 5 star service, there’s needs to be more Rachel’s in the world. Thank you Rachel for all your hard work and hassle free support truly appreciated !!!!!

I have been looking for a rental-property with friends to live in for the 2020/21 Academic Year. Mr. Jordan Liepa has been dealing with our enquiries and viewings and has been incredibly helpful, offering a professional and efficient service during our house-hunt. I would definitely recommend Chancellors to a friend on the basis of how Mr. Liepa has handled and assisted our search.

Really poor service as a landlord - Chancellors Aylesbury and Thameside As a landlord the service we have received is shocking. We are regularly handed to poorly skilled staff at Thameside, who do not follow up and cases are then passed over to other people and you need to begin again. Very slow response and even complaints are not followed up. In the current instance we have been waiting for a claim to be resolved since mid May and as a landlord we are having to do all the chasing of chancellors to resolve and we have very little confidence of any resolution. Request for escallation/ complaints procedures have been ignored and deadlines missed. I would suggest any landlord considers alternative companies to manage your portfolio. Their incompetence has cost me thousands .

Avoid at all costs! They lie about everything and mislead people. I moved into a letting property as I was relocating for work and so was my partner. The three bedroom property was advertised as being refurbished and newly decorated. I was told it was going through further refurbishments and a new heating system was being put in. I lived 2.5 hours and decided from the photographs that were spotless that it was the right property. I had similarly done the same before in my previous rental as the pictures were true to light and never had any issues. Well this was the most disgusting property I’ve ever moved into, the property had damp and mould everywhere and stunk of it. There was no heating and we were only left with 3 small plug in heaters for a three bedroom house! Shoddy electrics, No cleaning had taken place for years and dirt all over the carpets and walls. even the door handle fell off when I put the key into the door. It was a shambles. After 9 days I had enough and moved all out belongings out and handed the keys back. My partner suffers from asthma and we had no choice but to move into my dads garage until we were able to find a suitable property which took 3 months to find. It crazy it was healthier than the house we were in, it was impossible to breath at night and we both ended up getting infections and ended up in hospital. My partner lost his job as he doesn’t drive and I was unable to take him from my dads house. I’ve been told by the neighbours they have done the same to previous tenants and they had to move out. They are massive liars and don’t listen to anything. We reported all these issues over 50+ emails and nothing got done. We are now in the process of taking them to court. I want my money back! Loss of income and removal fees and compensation for all the hassle of having to live in a garage for 3 months in suitcases and travel 140 miles per day for my new job. The whole reason I moved there in the first place. I have so much evidence it’s unreal. Looking forward to taking these guys down. Turns out they do it to everyone! Not me.

To start on a high, the estate agent actually was very helpful. Answered any questions I had and was very kind. The issues started with communication. I was given a sales progressor who failed to give thorough updates and when they did, they were weeks after my solicitor gave me one. When I communicated this to them, they got very defensive, deflected and I was passed onto another sales progressor. No accountability taken. Again, same happened with the new progressor, slow/no updates, but I just cracked on and waited (almost pulled out at this point as I was now on the 5th month of waiting and the thought of them gaining commission on such an awful service really annoyed me). Completion day then came around, a day that is supposed to be so exciting and luckily was but only due to the people I was with. CHANCELLORS DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHO I WAS OR THAT I WAS THERE TO COLLECT THE KEYS. They didn't even know about the property even though it was their listing! They turned me away and I had to wait 6 hours until my solicitor gave me the go ahead to try and collect the keys again. I came back and was pretty annoyed (rightly so) and the person who gave me the keys tried to justify the situation by telling me how bad their experience was when they first bought a property?! I literally couldn't be arsed at that point. When I finally did collect the keys, someone was still vacant in the property! Luckily they were very kind but I didn't think it was very appropriate.
