Life Financial Services is abiding by the Chancellors Group policies, for which they are part of.
The Government has announced that people living in England who wish to move house can now do so and in person viewings and valuations can take place with clear safety guidelines published here. See full details of the official government guidelines.
Chancellors Group of Estate Agents will be adhering strictly to these guidelines and have put in place safer working procedures and risk assessment to ensure the safety of our staff, clients and suppliers. Click here for further information
We now have staff working in our offices across the Chancellors group, and our offices are open to the public. However, not all of our offices are able to accommodate visitors so should you wish to arrange an appointment, please contact your local branch via the usual channels of email or telephone. You can locate your nearest branch.
We are more than happy to arrange to visit and to value your home or conduct viewings, however, if you feel more comfortable these can be carried out virtually via video or over the phone.
Where we do visit you, we will be taking the below steps to ensure the safety of both our employees and our customers:
For All Customers
- There should only be maximum of two people present at the time of a booked appointment. Children should not be brought to appointments where the number of people will exceed 2.
- We do not wish to be rude, however, when we meet, we are unable to shake hands when we greet you. Your understanding and acceptance is appreciated.
- Discussions will take place outside where possible.
- Our staff will be wearing PPE including masks and gloves.
- We request that you always respect social distancing measures and remain two meters from your Estate Agent.

- Prior to a visit taking place Chancellors will send you a confirmation email providing more details on how your meeting will be carried out safely.
For Vendors and Landlords
- We request that all internal doors and windows of your property are left open throughout for both valuations and viewings – this will help with ventilation and limit contact with surfaces.
- Homeowners/occupiers MUST clean the property surfaces prior to visit.

For Buyers and Renters
