“Though the Witch knew the Deep Magic, there is a magic deeper still which she did not know. Her knowledge goes back only to the dawn of time. But if she could have looked a little further back… she would have known that when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor’s stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backward.” - Aslan, C.S.

Chestertons Took the Keys. They Ignored the Gas.


⟡ The Managing Agent Who Inherited a Crime Scene — and Did Nothing ⟡

I. Chestertons Took the Keys. They Ignored the Gas.

When Chestertons assumed property management of 37 Elgin Crescent in May 2025, they inherited more than a flat — they inherited:

  • A medical hazard formally recorded with HSE

  • Verified correspondence citing respiratory collapse

  • A vulnerable tenant with multiple protected disabilities

  • A landlord (Elad Katz/AirRock) with a litigation trail dating back years

Their response?

A breezy silence.
Not even a “Dear Tenant.”
Just procedural ghosting by brand name.

II. When Management Becomes Accessory

The file details:

  • Zero contact following notification of chemical hazard

  • Refusal to acknowledge prior environmental investigations

  • No provision of alternate accommodation

  • Total disregard for tenants’ rights under the Equality Act 2010 and Housing Health & Safety Rating System (HHSRS)

They assumed legal control.
They ignored legal duty.
And now — they're included in the record.

III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because estate agents who inherit risk also inherit responsibility.
Because management is not a buffer against liability — it is the seat of it.
Because when gas, collapse, and children are on file, silence is participation.

Let the record show:

  • The agency was informed

  • The hazards were documented

  • The response was absence

  • And SWANK — filed it for citation, litigation, and regulator review

This isn’t negligence.
It’s decorated complicity in property brochure font.

IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not permit agents to distance themselves from harm once they assume control.
We do not accept that gas, illness, and inaction can be disclaimed with rebranding.
We do not redact real estate agencies from hazard chains.

Let the record show:

The danger continued.
The agency arrived.
The inaction remained.
And SWANK — archived the entire sequence.

This is not “a new chapter.”
It’s the same crime — under different stationery.

They Ignored the Tenancy. We Filed the Bundle.


⟡ The Attachments Chestertons Didn’t Want to Acknowledge ⟡

I. A Bundle of Silence, Sent Because They Wouldn’t Answer

This collection of documents was submitted to Chestertons in May 2025 as supporting evidence of:

  • Unremedied sewer gas exposure

  • Respiratory collapse involving minor children

  • Landlord failure now transferred to managing agents

  • Ignored requests for emergency action under health and disability law

It contains:

  • Medical evidence

  • Prior regulator filings

  • Legal letters

  • Silence — wrapped in legally actionable timestamps

This isn’t a bundle.
It’s an institutional autopsy — and Chestertons is now listed on the death certificate.

II. What We Sent. What They Pretended Not to Receive.

This evidence was:

  • Delivered with formal cover

  • Cited under disability, housing, and child welfare statutes

  • Aimed at preventing further harm

Chestertons:

  • Did not acknowledge it

  • Did not respond

  • Did not act

They assumed property control.
They ignored the archive.
And SWANK — escalated it.

III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because ignoring attachments doesn’t make the evidence disappear.
Because silence from managing agents is not policy — it’s permission for harm.
Because when tenants are medically collapsing and the file is ignored, the agent becomes the defendant-in-waiting.

Let the record show:

  • We contacted

  • We documented

  • They declined

  • And SWANK — filed the bundle for tribunal, archive, and press

This isn’t post-tenancy paperwork.
It’s residency-level exposure, legally indexed.

IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not permit agencies to inherit neglect and claim amnesia.
We do not accept procedural non-response when medical documents are attached.
We do not allow “management” to be confused with elegant avoidance.

Let the record show:

The file was sent.
The gas was known.
The duty was ignored.
And SWANK — published the entire refusal.

This isn’t supportive.
It’s evidentiary voltage — and we plugged it in.

They Took Over a Toxic Tenancy. Then They Pretended Not to Notice.


⟡ The Estate Agent Who Took the Keys and Left the Gas On ⟡

Filed: 5 May 2025
Annex to N1 Claim: Elgin Crescent – £4,500 Damages
📎 Download PDF — 2025-05-05_SWANK_N1Annex_Chestertons_AgentNegligence_ElginCrescent_SewerGasConstructiveEviction.pdf

I. “Not Our Fault” Was Filed Too Late

This annex was submitted as part of the civil proceedings documenting:

  • Known environmental hazard at 37 Elgin Crescent

  • Medical collapse of tenants (including children)

  • Formal documentation served to Chestertons

  • No protective action taken — despite assuming legal management duties

They accepted the contract.
They declined the responsibility.
Now they’re named — in court.

II. What the Agents Knew. What They Didn’t Do.

Chestertons was informed of:

  • Hydrogen sulphide gas presence

  • Tenant vulnerability due to documented disability

  • Need for emergency accommodation

  • Regulatory filings already submitted (HSE, RBKC)

Their reaction:

  • No contact

  • No mitigation

  • No response

  • No lawful excuse

This wasn’t a miscommunication.
It was estate-agency-level collusion by omission.

III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because estate agents who take over toxic tenancies do not inherit immunity — they inherit accountability.
Because when four children are involved and the air is medically hostile, “We’re just the agents” is not a defence — it’s an admission of proximity to harm.

Let the record show:

  • The hazard was inherited

  • The tenancy was neglected

  • The injury was real

  • And SWANK — filed the annex with £4,500 in damages attached

This isn’t slander.
It’s procedural memory, filed before the judge.

IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not allow rebranded management to excuse legacy endangerment.
We do not accept silence in the face of housing law breaches.
We do not redact agents who took over a crime scene and continued the performance.

Let the record show:

The hazard stayed.
The family left.
The agent did nothing.
And SWANK — annexed their name to the civil claim.

This isn’t property management.
It’s gas-lit abandonment — now legally embossed.
