“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. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

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

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.
