Worst thugs in Newbury. Charge more and no service at all. Act just as intermediates between landlord and tenant without any support....

Helpful up to the move in date. Incorrect keys given, over a month and still waiting for a sets of keys, we're using the agents. No letterbox key. Door handles broken or non existent (locking my partner in a bedroom, having to unscrew bathroom door handle with tweezers to unlock the bedroom door). Hung up on 2 times and no call backs. No car parking space although advertised and garage rendered useless if the allocated parking for other residents is full....

The rental process with Chancellors has been a completely nightmare! I had lots of problems to get my keys once I had paid the cleared funds. I had to let in your office the luggage and came back 4 times to get my keys because the person who managed this wasn't in the office to tell if the reference was ok. I had provided the contact to Chancellors having the reference 3 weeks before, and finally I had to do it by myself because nobody had contacted my employer. I made several questions to the ...

Both Ben and Sue were very helpful and supportive of finding tenants and kept me informed of progress as much as they were themselves informed. I did feel however that the coordination with the head office let the branch team down otherwise my scoring would be "excellent"...

Malcolm gave a great 360 degree service from initial consultation I felt he understood my needs and was extremely honest and informative throughout the process leaving me in the comfort of knowing I had a property specialist looking after me, right through to the aftercare provided and updates he continues to provide. Nothing was too much trouble for Malcolm and I would certainly recommend his services to anyone looking to let a property whether 1st time or an experienced landlord you won't be ...

I dealt with Sue Shelly, Ben Stevens and Lucy Reeves on renting two properties out with yourselves. Sue started the process by running through terms and conditions and attending the properties. Ben and Lucy both did viewings to prospective tenants and also answered questions which I subsequently had. I have found the Newbury team professional and efficient but yet approachable and friendly. They strive to deliver results but also maintain the friendly and approachable atmosphere that is impo...

Total professionalism from the initial visit by the Branch Manager to evaluate property and rental income through to identification of suitable tenant and viewings conducted by Branch Negotiator. The process included high quality photographs taken by a professional photographer, excellent and accurate written description of the property and immediate placement on the key websites. Early viewings from genuine prospective tenants and follow through on Agreements/Deposit from Head Office also ti...

With me and my flatmate living quite far from Newbury, it was quite difficult in finding a place to rent for our Placement year and somehow ended up walking into Chancellors. The only problem we found was trying to understand what we needed to sign and do in order to rent the property. There was a slight miscommunication between us and Chancellors, but that may have been perhaps of our understanding of what we needed to do. Overall, Chancellors have been great and have sorted everything out quit...

Friendly helpful competent service all around. Sales person Maxine Hall helped us negotiate with the vendor so the price was agreed without the usual delays. Another Sales person Marc Rollings followed up very effectively, helping us to shove the vendor\'s tardy advisors so that completion was achieved by an important deadline date for us. I would highly recommend this firm, and have apparently had a completely different experience from other reviewers....

We\'ve been trying to buy a house in Newbury for over 6 months and are fed up with Chancellors putting property up online which is already sold and advertising it as available. Once I rang to organise viewings on 6 properties, to find all but 1 was already sold. Why would a buyer want to continue advertising it(some have been up for weeks and weeks!) as available as they don\'t record our details to tell sellers, or get intouch if theybecome available again (as at least 2 houses have!) Also bein...

Having washed their hands of us the minute we walked into the rental property in Newbury, we had to chase the landlord to get the gas connected and fix the lack of water pressure (couldn\'t have a shower). They harrassed us with threatening letters towards the end of the tenancy even though we\'d paid the rent in advance for the last remaining few weeks (no polite query for payment, straight to legal threats, despite having already paid them). They then charged us over £100 for a check o...

They contract out everything - key handling, deposit handling, maintenance. They do nothing for the tenant and rip them off at every step. How to improve? Go bust and don\'t sully the high streets with your scum.

We thank you for your comments as customer feedback is important to us. We are sorry that the property was not in working order for you. We would normally offer to help you contact your Landlord in a situation where we do not manage the property. Regarding the check-in and check-out, these are often very different as there is usually remedial work and cleaning carried out between tenancies and these documents, along with the inventory which the Landlord pays for, are imperative to recording t ...

I used Chancellors to market my buy to let property for sale and whilst also managing it on my behalf as they assured me this would be more efficient as gaining access arranging viewings would be easier. They oversold and under delivered on all accounts, my property was marketed for months without any real success, the only advice was to drop the price...the exact same size property (and similar condition) was marketed by my friend in the same block and sold at a much higher price without using ...

I don\'t want to name any names so I have left the staff members details out. I do not believe the problem to be the staff, I think the fundamental ethos of the company is wrong so no one person to blame. In fact certain members of staff have been useful. I instructed Chancellors to manage my property last year whilst I was travelling around Europe. I have had no end of trouble since the day they started. The property management is outsourced to a central company in Bracknell which I belie...

Customer service needs to be seriously looked at in this company. There are so many problems I would not know where to start with how they can improve! I have said all I want to in the comments section above.
