Look for other agencies or rent out in private. First of all, they are the most unreachable ever, unable to communicate properly. They organised a viewing without letting us know in advance. They were suddenly in front of the house with 15 people on a Saturday ...

Find them to be continually incompetent. The agents turn over so quickly that it's impossible to build a working relationship with anyone there.
They never return calls. Rarely respond to requests to view. Do very little work to sell you property. I've seen this trying ...

They almost never answer the phone when you call the agency.
When they do answer, they tell you that someone is going to call you back but that never happens.
They also cancel viewings you scheduled a week in advance 30 min before they're scheduled to ...

We have been signed up with Chancellors since June with Ryan and have already made two formal complaints about his conduct. (I have never made a formal complaint before ). He is rude and incompetent. I hear he has just 'left'! Sadly Chancellors did not take our complaints seriously so not confident anything will change! ...
