Terrible company, save yourself some regret down the line and avoid them. I have friends who rent through Chancellors and have had to go months with broken boilers and washing machines.
My partner and I were on the verge of renting with Chancellors, and boy am I glad we got out while we could. They (in particular, Katie) repeatedly lied to us and gave conflicting information about how certain aspects of our contract would work. They use a pretty shady zero deposit scheme which involves end-of-tenancy dispute resolution through a private company instead of a certified independent body. They also repeatedly tried to pressure us into signing the contract while we still had concerns about all of this. They took an illegal fee of over £400 from us, which I only got back by threatening to take them to the ombudsman – they *knew* they were in the wrong, but will try anything just to see what sticks.
Chancellors' whole business model involves expoiting tenants who can't find better, doing less than the bare minimum in order to maintain their margins and keep their landlords happy. I'm sure they'll reply to this with something that makes them sound less bad than they actually are – don't believe it.

EDIT 4/7/24: after posting the response below, Chancellors also got in touch with me directly by phone, making no further attempts to make the situation right, but asking me to "consider removing or updating my review". Makes you wonder how many other negative reviews they've managed to get removed from here...... Read more

Katie from Chancellor summertown helped us to find an apartment in Oxford. She has been very helpful. What we really liked about her that she was very open and frank about whether the apartment would meet our criteria and whether we may get it or not. She was also very agile in collecting the information we needed to make a decision. Thanks a lot.... Read more

Katie is by far the most efficient agent I've ever been in contact with. She provided immediate updates on the rental property, and was always promptly available and receptive of any queries I had - particularly when considering the chaos of the Oxford student market. I highly recommend her and Chancellors - Summertown!... Read more

I got accommodation through Katie Palmer whom I found to be extremely professional and helpful in getting me the right accommodation I wanted in Summertown. She was always available to clarify and guide me when I was filling the Lettings Application Form and answer any question I asked her. I am very happy about the accommodation I have got through her after such a long struggle looking for one.... Read more
