An advantage of using them is that they are a small, long standing, local team, so that one is dealing with known individuals in a long term relationship who have excellent local knowledge. Throughout the decades of our relationship they have always responded quickly to any issues, concerns or matters needing dealing with. Over the years an element of friendship became a pleasant, positive part of the business relationship. I highly recommend them as agents for renting and selling properties.

BEWARE of these letting agents, for the sake of your sanity, dignity, and your pocket!…read more This was my first time renting a property. The staff were very friendly in the beginning, however, I moved in to a property that hasn't been even cleaned, with dust, spiders, spiderwebs, and previous tenants' items and HAIR all over the flat. I ended up sleeping on a friend's couch and having to clean it (and pay £80 for carpet cleaning) myself! Unluckily for me I had already booked a holiday for the week after my move-in, and not only these issues (which I have stubbornly outlined in my emails) were not only not dealt with, but they were not even updated on the inventory as they should have been! The staff generally seemed to act as if all this was 'normal' and I was just making a big deal out of it. But when I handed back my keys two weeks ago (leaving the flat much much cleaner than it was), thinking it cannot get any worse, they decided to charge me nearly £500 for these issues that I have been reporting for the past year! On a side note, throughout my tenancy I became ill and my partner agreed to move in with me from abroad. It took Martin & Co three months to prepare a new agreement (charge: £200) for us to sign. At that time, we were financially constrained as we had to live off my student loan since he could not get a job without this tenancy agreement. After two months waiting, my partner got very sick, sparking high fever and we couldn't see a doctor since he wasn't registered here, or afford to see a doctor privately as he couldn't work here without these documents. Helpless and frustrated, I emailed Martin & Co explaining the situation, and asking how long this will take. We had a response a few weeks later asking us to come in and pay the fee in order to sign. But when we went there, were told in front of everyone that they will not let my partner sign the agreement since "he moved to the UK to seek medical treatment". I have never encountered staff so rude and offensive (I don't want to use the word "racist", but it does have this vibe).

I moved back to Oxford a few years back and stumbled across Real Letting. I went in and I received…read morelots of help and information. I was interested in a property, but they advised me against it as they didn't think it would be suitable and reccomended a cheaper property for me! This showed a lot of honesty, and right from the beginning they were very pleasant to deal with. Everytime I go into the office i feel very welcome and we always have great chats! Yes they are a bit more relaxed than most agencies, but I like that, it's a bit different to the typical grumpy agents you get, you can have a laugh with them! I have now been with the agency for 3 years and I can honestly say I don't plan on using another agency. All in all, a highly reccomended agency! Thanks guys, hope you're reading this! :-)

Chancellors is a well to do housing agent - this one on the cowley road. They find housing for both…read morestudents and professionals in the oxford district. There are numerous other chancellors for instance the one in headington. This agent is alike to all the others in terms of house selection, fees, deposits etc...but i have marked chancellors (who i rented with once for a year) lower than their neighbouring premier lettings, because of the staff. I do not know why but the staff were always slightly pretentious in this location. They speak snottily and look down upon students. They expect forms to be completed in a matter of minutes and do not give you alot of time to get referee details/ deposit amounts together. They also took a very long time to get someone out to fix things or look at things in the house. And its worth saying that even though the house i rented was left near perfect - me and my friends saw a small amount of our deposit back...and we were not the only ones. Of course, Chancellors may have changed in the last two years...but i doubt it. Go to Premier.

This action took several months and was at great expense. Chancellors disclosed confidential emails to the landlady without my permission, furthermore Chancellors really did much to prevent us in recovering our deposit. I'm now having to report Chancellors to ICO. In my opinion you should seek a more ethical company to use and avoid Chancellors as an estate agents.

From the first friendly welcome from Nicola everyone has been courteous and helpful and we have also been aware of and appreciated your competence and efficiency throughout. We must mention Adrian whose cheerful regular calls particularly during the bleak period late last year were very supportive and made us feel there was some glimmer of hope. Thank you all not only for the good service you have given us but also for your friendly and sympathetic manner which has helped to make this difficult period of our lives more bearable. http://www.scottfraser.co.uk/testimonial-gallery/recordStart/5/

This EA comes across as smart and sophisticated, but beneath the shiney exterior lies a company…read morewhose only interest is money, with several (but thankfully not all) of their staff unable to hide the £ signs in their eyes. Probably more useful if you're selling (they can be very pushy getting people to agree), but not overly pleasant when you're a buyer.

In every phone call we made (around 6 calls) we said that we would like to attend but we never got to go. They never bothered to arrange for us to attend and didn't tell us that we couldn't attend. Every phone call was answered by someone that clearly had no idea what they were doing and always had to check with someone else. I phoned the day before our survey and asked to check what time they wanted us there and to double check that the home owner was expecting us. The woman on the phone had no idea so she said that she would check and call me back. I received a voice mail just saying that "our appointment was tomorrow morning". Moronic. These people are unorganized, simply incapable of listening to a client (WHO IS PAYING THEM TO DO A JOB) and have no idea how to do their job competently. Just avoid this company. Don't waist your time or money.
