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 important for Landlords and tenants to see. They called me regularly with updates, answered all questions and worked as a team to rent out my two properties in a short period of time. I have had to pop in a couple of times recently and have always had a very warm welcome - everyone remembers your name and which properties you belong to. I have been so impressed that I recommended the service to a prospective family looking to relocate to Newbury. I only wish that they could manage my properties as well.
To sum it up they are fantastic, a winning team.
I rented out two properties but this form only allows for one property so please call if you need additional information.

Chancellors as a estate agent for landlords is appalling. I am with them for a year and a half. Very poor communications, their statement reports are just so user unfriendly - firstly they only come in PDF - you wont get the Excel version as ...

The Newbury branch is the WORST estate agency I have ever dealt with. They have zero care for any tenants. And do all they can to prevent you obtaining your deposit back.
I accepted to live at one of their properties after I was told ...

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.Attached Filesnbsp;

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 ...
