When started to rent my property I had excellent service from the high wycombe branch but as soon as it was moved to thameside property management it was shocking. I have never dealt with such a bad company. No help at all for me as the landlord, although I'm paying them , getting contractors ... Read Full Review

Terrible experience buying a property. They gave false information, as well as the wrong information and also told plain lies! - all of which could have landed me with a serious problem with the property after the sale went through and affected the mortgage too. I had no choice but to pull out of... Read Full Review

The worst customer service ever! Agreed to purchase a property from chancellors, mortgage in place, solicitors instructed in April 2021, told the agents had to complete before stamp duty holiday. My solicitor raised enquiries but the vendor could not be bothered to reply to these nor did their... Read Full Review

Avoid this fraud scheme. Attempted to buy a property off Chancellors. They refused viewing to us, evem though we wanted to offer a higher price to the vendor and effectively have sold the property while their office was closed on Sunday. Must have been a very familiar buyer to their agent who... Read Full Review

If I could give 0 stars I would. Arranged a morning viewing and they booked the wrong time down as a afternoon appointment. When I queried it they said they were now unable to make the morning time so I could not view the property. I called back twice to arrange another day and they failed to... Read Full Review

Branch staff are great but beware being sucked into the honey trap. Once the deal is done everything gets passed to Head Office in Bracknell where it takes on its honey-like characteristics The head office support is exactly that, outwardly sweet but thixotropic in the extreme.

Our buyers sold their house through Chancellors, and they were absolutely useless at organising their one property sale in a 4 property chain. As soon as they have sold the property all dealing are sent to a faceless central office, who couldn't care less about a single low value property... Read Full Review

All we want to do is sell our house. Twice we have been let down by prospective viewings and lied to by being told that there is a viewing yet no one has been. We have a young family and have to tidy and leave our house for the pretend viewings and ask kindly that they let us know when we can... Read Full Review

The agent has a shared interest in achieving optimum price and was able to negotiate but was clear about range.

As a landlord I would never recommend Chancellors of High Wycombe. They failed to manage my property. My previous tenant had made mofications to the property to which Chancellors failed to pick up despite carrying out checks. Seldom returned my calls leaving me very frustrated and... Read Full Review

Frankly speaking, I wouldn't recommend this agency. An unprofessional team, ridiculous! It was just simple thing to make an appointment to view the property and we couldn't get it.

I am not sure if it's that messages aren't passed on or whether the staff just ignore them. I am very aware that the market is flooded with buyers at the moment but to not even have the courtesy to call someone back after several messages have been left is seriously unprofessional. Sending out... Read Full Review
Communication is so key to any sales no matter how large or small. If people are leaving messages for a call back, have the decency to actually pick up the phone and not leave them hanging.

I am currently having a dispute with Chancellors regarding their fee they invoiced me. It came as a shock. These are the things that went wrong; 1. My previous contract with Chancellors left me with a credit that is denoted in my current 'Terms of Business' document. Chancellors completely... Read Full Review
They need to understand their own \'Terms of Business\' document well. They should be very clear in letting their customer know what they will be charged. If they failed to do so, they should honestly stand up and say that they made a mistake instead of inventing new stories to blame the customer.
They drew a \'Terms of Business\' document without mentioning any fee apart from the \'credit\' note and now they are charging me 12% fee. I would never have accepted for a market leading fee like 12%. They charged a documentation fee when I repeatedly mentioned to them that I will take care of producing the tenancy agreement They just siphoned off the first month rent without dropping me a hint. A complete communication failure.

As a keen individual to move up to High Wycombe, contacted Chancellors as they had properties matching my criteria.

Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.
