Inquest hears how Chancellors chairman James Scott-Lee was killed by ‘fidgety’ horses
An inquest into the tragic death of James Scott-Lee, the much-respected Chairman of estate agency group Chancellors, has heard how the 66-year-old was killed by his own horses within the stables of his estate in the village of Kirtlington, Oxfordshire on October 27th last year. James, who had headed up Chancellors Group since the 1990s and was a very keen horse and carriage enthusiast, had been out for a seven-mile drive with his driver and a friend and, after returning to his stables, had helped unhook the horses from the vehicle.

The agreement is a change of mind for Chancellors, which two years ago published a blog outlining how it did not back OnTheMarket and questioning the need for a ‘third portal’. The blog by Robert Scott-Lee, Group Managing Director at Chancellors (pictured), said in his blog: “How successful OnTheMarket.com will be in the long term remains to be seen, but it’s all down to the volume of traffic it is able to achieve. “If it does perform well, I hope to one day sign on the dotted line with them, but we will act in the best interests of our clients, and for now, we feel that is not with OnTheMarket.com.” OnTheMarket claims today’s agreement, which…
