I have been with Chancellors since January 2018. I started as a Lettings Negotiator in the Newbury office and have since worked in multiple offices across Berkshire and Oxfordshire earning several promotions along the way.
Most recently in 2022, I took over the Didcot office as Senior Lettings Manager and have enjoyed growing the lettings business. I hold an ARLA qualification and take pride in ensuring that landlords achieve excellent rents on their portfolios.

Didcot
DDI:01235 612792
My name is Elizabeth and I have been working for Chancellors since 2014.
I have worked in multiple Chancellors Offices across Oxfordshire mainly through the promotions I have received. I am a dedicated and hard working member of a fantastic team. It brings me so much joy to sell my clients properties and pair them with dream buyers. I like being a part of the process from Start to Finish and being there to support my clients fully.
The cherry on top is selling those properties to applicants that love them and helping them find their dream homes. I have a wealth of knowledge in both lettings and sales. I am a landlord myself and love the investment properties side of sales. In my spare time, I love long walks, good food, and knitting! My friends and family would describe me as having an "old head on young shoulders" approach to life which helps me connect with clients on many different levels.
I have been working for Chancellors since 2003 having joined the Graduate Training Programme after university moving from Scotland to Oxford.
Having worked across Oxfordshire learning the role of Lettings Manager, I then moved to look after our West Berkshire Region and I am now responsible for South Oxfordshire, Berkshire, and Hampshire as Group Associate Director.
In my spare time, I'm a self-confessed sports addict both playing and watching.

Nestled at the confluence of the Chilterns and the North Wessex Downs, two Areas of Outstanding Beauty, the town of Didcot earned its place on the map thanks to its key location on the Great Western Railway Line.
Those prominent rail links still draw both working professionals and young families to the South Oxfordshire town today, providing fantastic transportation to London Paddington and a number of other destinations in the region.
The town is also forging its way as a leader in scientific and technological developments, with three outstanding facilities close to the area: Milton Park, Harwell Science and Innovation Campus, and Culham Science Centre. Between them, they employ thousands of workers, hosting the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Diamond Light Source national synchrotron, European Space Agency, Culham Centre for Fusion Energy, and many more businesses.
As well as a prominent scientific future, Didcot offers plenty of opportunity to explore past developments in technology, most notably at the Didcot Railway Centre. Here visitors can learn all about the history of steam trains, ride on working engines, and find out why Didcot became an important rail destination.
Full of history and heritage, it’s hardly surprising the town was chosen as an area for major growth in Oxfordshire. Recent years have seen the construction of new housing developments like Ladygrove Park and Great Western Park, as well as the investment into a thoroughly modern town centre that includes the Orchard Shopping Centre and Cornerstone Arts Centre for eating, entertainment and retail therapy.
With outstanding rail, bus and road connections, multiple leisure centres, an abundance of local parks and great housing opportunities, Didcot is an ideal place for young families. One of its estates was even given the accolade of having the highest life expectancy in England!
Transportation in Didcot
Didcot’s growth as a town is in large part down to its location on both a historic arterial road route into London and as a major junction on the national rail network. Midway between Oxford (10 miles to the north) and Newbury (15 miles to the south) on the A34, there’s easy access to the motorway network via the M4 and M40.
Young professionals are attracted to the area thanks to its rail connections. Sitting at a junction between Bristol, Oxford and London, train services are quick and frequent into London Paddington, with an average journey time of just 40 minutes. Swansea, Cheltenham Spa and Weston-super-Mare all have direct services from Didcot.
