Electrical problems

Where you have no electricity, check that there is not a power cut in the area by calling 105

Where there is not a power cut you should carry out an appliance check prior to an engineer being sent out.

If an appliance is not working, then this is not an emergency. You should contact the Property Management team during office hours.  If an engineer is called out and this is due to a faulty appliance, you could be recharged for the call out.

Please see emergency contract information at the bottom of this page should you require an emergency contractor.

 

Criminal Damage

Where criminal damage has been caused, smashed windows, door, fence panels or other criminal damage you need to report this to the police to obtain a crime reference.

Contractors can attend to take appropriate action to ensure the property is secure during out of hours in the way of boarding up the property where needed if the police are unable to assist.

The tenant will be charged for this without a valid crime reference being supplied.

Please email oxonpm@chancellors.co.uk and provide information on the action taken so a member of the property management team will be in contact as a priority
