Several complications arose during my purchase which could easily have derailed it completely. The Chancellors agent, Holly Valentine, demonstrated considerable tenacity together with excellent communication and negotiation skills to keep everything on track. The only reason I'm not awarding 5 stars is that when Holly was away for a few weeks I had no single point of contact at Chancellors and things stalled as a result; this was all sorted on her return.

Unfortunately you cannot leave less than 1*. Chancellors Lightwater are truly the most unprofessional company I have ever had to deal with. As a seller the marketing price was agreed upon, we were then badgered into quickly signing into a contract on the back of being told that they had a buyer who wad really interested in the property and wanted to view immediately - Needless to say this buyer never viewed the property ( Ploy perhaps to get us to sign quickly?? ) Property is then photographed and sales literature generated but 20K below the agreed asking price, we then challenge Chancellors on this and was advised that all would be OK and that interested buyers would offer in excess - really why would anyone pay more than he advertised price? We had been advised by Chancellors during their sales presentation that all the agents in the Lightwater office are local to Lightwater and have a great knowledge of the area, hence they were the best agents in the area for selling. Well the Open day arrived and we were advised that 5 couples were interested. The agent hosting the open day didn't have a clue of the local area, he had trouble finding the property and more so didn't have any knowledge of the property, which resulted in him knocking on our neighbours door and asking them - how completely unprofessional? Furthermore when potential buyers were asking him the price that would be accepted he was saying the value that was 20K below what we wanted. Basically Chancellors took no notice of our expectations and are only driven for a quick sale. Their Management is non-existent their work ethics are non-existent. Fortunately after raising our concerns in the form of a Formal Complaint we have exited from their contract. Please do take on board our experiences and give careful consideration before signing up with this unprofessional outfit.
