Six Months of Rodent Infestation

Six Months of Rodent Infestation – No Real Resolution

We’ve endured six months of rodent infestation in a property managed by The Chant Group, and the experience has been appalling.

Despite countless emails, pest control reports, and even rodents getting into our bedroom and personal belongings, the issue was never taken seriously. Instead of acting on clear professional advice for structural proofing, we were sent a handyman who carried out poor patch-up work — which pest control later confirmed was inadequate.

The problem has repeatedly been downplayed, communication has been inconsistent, and there's been no meaningful accountability or urgency. We’ve had to throw away contaminated items, constantly disinfect our home, and live with stress and disruption for half a year.

For a premium rent, this level of mismanagement is unacceptable. I would strongly advise others to think twice before renting a property managed by The Chant Group.

My experience with Jack and Chant group

My experience with Jack and the whole Chant group was very positive all around. We did have some hiccups on our side of the process but at the end we managed to get through it all and moved on to the apartment in a very short period of time. Jack was very helpful and provided assistance whenever we needed. He always picked up our calls and replied to our messages even if it was a Sunday evening just to give an example. When I came to the offices of Chant, everyone was very polite and helpful which made the overall experience so much more pleasant. Overall, I can highly recommend Jack and the whole of Chant group to my friends and family as they made my life so much more easier with finding and getting an apartment. Hoping to get in contact again soon!

Big SCAM

They are not paying the deposit back and they are scammers. It is illegal what they do. Dont trust them.

Efficient service

Leah was truly exceptional in helping me to prepare & organise my property for rental.
She was always on time for our appointments and I found her advice to be invaluable.
I was also very impressed with her level of knowledge about the rental market.
All in all, it was a pleasurable experience working with Leah.
I would have no hesitation in recommending her to ‘get the job done’ for you.

Reliable, professional estate agents.

I have been dealing with chant for two years now. During that time I have found this company to work to the highest professional standards. Over the past twenty years I have dealt with several different estate agents in London and I can honestly say the Chant group have come out on top. It is refreshing to work with a company that respond quickly by email and phone to any queries I have had.
The advice around my rental and sale options has been clear and concise without exaggeration or inflated return forecasts.
Based on my experience with Chant, I can highly recommend their services to any prospective buyer or renter.

The best local Estate Agent

Chants have been brilliant right from the start. From day one with their valuation, through to constant viewing’s despite a decline in the property market, they shone through keeping us in the loop always. Very friendly and always available. Many thanks and well done to all at Chants Estate Agents.

Excellent service

The team at Chants went above and beyond to make out sale as smooth as possible and were exceptionally helpful with our purchase, although it was with another estate agent. We would no hesitate to recommend Mark to anyone thinking of moving in the future and we would most definitely use them again.

didnt check basic identification when trying to sell the house cost us and seller lots of time and money - in response to below there was not a power of attorney in place and you did not do the relevant checks of the two people who owned the property - when we bought it we knew it was both and you did not do these checks - so please do not insult everyone's intelligence who would read this and pretend you did your job - you would be better to admit your failings and put something in place to ensure it doesnt happen again -

There was no LPA we had to get this arranged- you never checked who owned the property , and you mever realsied anything , I told you because i knew straight away more than the estate agent , and neither did the solicitor - my facts are facts not opinions , my opinion is how rude your director is and how he tried to bully people,- it is worse you are not able to admit your mistakes and learn from them , I just pray the company does not stay in business for much longer and save stress for many other people and mark Chant himself never works in a customer facing environment

Thank you very much for your review Georgia. We do have a system and policy in place for checking our sellers out when they instruct us to sell their property.

The house that you bought from us we were dealing with the Son who informed us that the property was his Fathers. We did all the relevant checks of identification on his Father and got the relevant power of attorney forms which were all in our files correctly. It wasn’t until part way through the transaction that we found out that the owner had a wife. Once we were aware of this, we spoke directly to the Son. He rectified this with the correct procedure through his solicitors in the quickest possible time. However, I do agree with you that it did take longer than expected.

If you have any further questions relating to this please feel free to give us a call we are open 8am – 8pm, 7 days a week

Thank you for your reply Miss Smith

I'm afraid you are incorrect on your facts. Going through the file notes of this case we took the property to the market by the sellers son (who we got the correct ID and lasting power of attorney forms for his father) who we believed owned the property outright.

It wasnt until the sale was progressing via the solicitors we realised that his mother owned the property too. in light of this, our sellers solicitor appointed a good local solicitor to act on this and within time the LPA was put in place.

Im sorry you feel like this and the extra time time it took to get your sale through, however we have given you plenty of opportunity to discuss this with us anytime face to face over phone. We have the forms and are happy to show you these which was dated in 2020, some 2 years after you bought this property. I believe you completed in October last year so not sure why this is being bought up now?

We are very sorry you still feel like this. We replied to your review back in July (over 3 months ago) so we are confused as to why you are bringing this up now?

We did a full review of your complaint (which we have replied above on our first and second response). We stated that we had the LPA (Lasting power of attorney) for one of our sellers at the point of selling this house (which we confirmed that you could look at). We were only aware during the sale that there was a second seller (who did not live at the property as was in a care home) which was on the title deeds. The sellers solicitors then appointment a local solicitor to visit the seller to confirm she was fine to sign the documents.

We have asked if you would like to arrange a meeting with yourself to discuss this further if you require but to date you haven't made contact with us to do this.

Highly recommend!

We felt comfortable with Mark as soon as we met him to sell my partners property. This carried on throughout the whole process of our working relationship with him. He was also extremely helpful in the sale of my property through chasing up people and prompting other estate agents to chase the others in the chain. His persistence and assertiveness when needed certainly paid off. We could not have achieved our happy outcome without Mark; we unreservedly recommend him - thank you!!!
