I have been very pleased with the service and advice I have had from the Letchworth office . The sale of our property went through smoothly and good local knowledge from the office was very helpful . The property had previously been rented out through Country Properties residential office and their service was very good as well .The property was left in good condition for the new owners and everything coordinated so that we were in a position to exchange soon after the tenants vacated . Overall an excellent service from friendly professional staffPositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

The team at Country Properties are fantastic and I heartily recommend them. Irma and Tracey kept our chain alive during one of the busiest periods the housing market has seen for many years. Their professionalism, honesty and hard work was exemplary throughout.

Space doesn't permit the full detail, but as a summary of the key points: - Despite being initially the most enthuasistic of the all the agents I had valuations from, they were a bit slower than initially pledged to launch the property online. Enthusiasm for (and evidence of) marketing activity was then distinctly lacking after the first couple of weeks. And it only re-appeared in the last few weeks, as soon as I put them on notice that I was moving to another agent. - Their 'for sale' board was erected on a neighbouring property. It took over a week of chasing them to get them to move this. They then removed it entirely and it never returned (no reason ever given, despite my questions) despite both the inclusion of one and the specific positioning requirement for it appearing in our written agreement. - Often ignored my requests to contact me only by email due to the nature of my day job. Often, emails - if sent - would give no useful detail and just asked me to call them. Somewhat evasive on the phone to direct questions about what specifically they're doing marketing-wise (viewings had dried up and I had been wordlessly removed from their shop window display)...."heeeeey, we're doing all we can! [rapid change of subject]" was a favourite of one agent there. - Consistently failed to abide by a verbal and written request to ensure the closure of an inner door within the property after viewings - in fact, on every single viewing they conducted. After one viewing, they also left the back door unlocked. - Added me to their marketing spam email list despite a specific instruction given to them at the outset not to. A bit concerning on the GDPR front - and somewhat futile as I had already bought somewhere by that stage. - In the a later stages, one of their agents flagged the pricing as not helping the sale....despite the pricing having been set by their own colleague. This agent also went on to suggest the location and condition of the property as stumbling blocks......despite the property being in the exact same location and of the same age and condition as it was when their colleague enthusiastically signed up as my selling agent. So only three months before, Country Properties didn't seem to think these factors were going to be a problem at all. Such was their confidence in fact, that a rather overambitious initial price was set that I myself had to ask them to lower a bit before launching. - They asked more than once for me to agree to accept a viewing *after* their period of instruction had ended - by which time I was (as they were aware) instructing a different agency, which seemed somewhat disrespectful to the new agency. - Although I didn't have to in the end (as one such appointment was reportedly angrily cancelled by the viewers who couldn't find the property with the instructions given by the agency - and the lack of 'for sale' board outside as a clue) I was asked on at least one occasion to conduct a viewing myself, due to them not having available staff. I wonder if they would have discounted their fee if *I'd* managed to sell it for them that day... There's more. I could go on..... Unwilling to accept the disappointing offers they finally mustered some effort to find me in that last week or so, I moved immediately after my three month agreement expired with them over to another local agency who re-launched me a month after I had left Country Properties behind. The new agency happily abided by all my contact preferences, and got me *two* good offers....both at asking price - a good bit higher than Country Properties' best shot).....and they managed this within the first 11 days of going on the market. Maybe they've had a recent shake up of people and practices there since my time with them but personally, I would still suggest being careful about what Country Properties tell you that they will and won't do (even in writing)....to consider the veracity of the viewings feedback they give you....and to consider other agencies - who may be a bit pricier but are much less disappointing.NegativeQuality, Professionalism

We had purchased properties through Country Properties, Biggleswade previously but this was the first time that we sold a property using their services.

Cannot say enough good things about these guys and they didn’t actually work for me! I’ve just scraped through the stamp duty deadline and it’s all thanks to Sasha Blackburn!!! If I ever choose to sell up, she’s definitely the first name on the team sheet.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

Country Properties in Ampthill were professional and responsive to our every requirment. We went with them because they were part of our chain in a previous move, and Sasha was the reason that sale got over the line. Well, she did it again! Selling a home is not just about the listing, getting a buyer is only the beginning. The team at Country Properties ensured all aspects of our sale and purchase were met, financially and logistically. They go above and beyond. Sasha especially in the final weeks leading to Exchange was the key element in communicating with the whole chain and getting what was a complex chain over the line. We cant thank Country Properties & Sasha enough, super stars!PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

We have received such an excellent service selling our rented property through Country Properties Shefford. Brilliant service, they are really professional - Taylor in particular has always dealt with our queries quickly and efficiently on this last sale. What can we say - 7 weeks from being put on the market to completion, and at the asking price! Not only this but the Team have also sold our other rented property and our daughter's house over the last 2 years. All have been dealt with professionally and we have had a fantastic service from the team. In addition, we have also used Country Properties over a number of years to let out our rented properties. We have always received an excellent service from the Letting Team as well. Our sincere thanks go to all of them and we wouldn't go anywhere else!!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Fantastic service by Irma Bucci and Tracey Curaba. Having started our search at the beginning of the year, we finally found our soon to be beautiful family home. Right from the start Irma has been very helpful, welcoming, professional and has really helped to convert the offer to completion when we had queries with the seller. Due to the size of the property we encountered a few issues with the deeds. We feel Irma went above her duty to help out and deal with both parties amicably all whilst going through the current pandemic. We always felt Irma was there for us during this big purchase. Our calls and emails were always instantly dealt with by Irma or Tracey and both always actioned any queries themselves with our solicitors to help move things along. Tomorrow is our completion day and we can't thank Irma enough. We highly recommend Irma and Country Properties in Biggleswade.PositiveProfessionalism

Another fantastic experience and excellent result with Country Properties Flitwick. Phil, Duane, Joel and Steve & team were superb throughout, getting the property on the market rapidly which led to a large amount of viewings which were coordinated amazingly well. I was kept informed every step of the way once we had agreed exchange and completion which was very helpful. Would not hesitate to use again, best service in the area.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

I cannot recommend Country Properties in Shefford highly enough, specifically Steph and Jo. They were outstanding in our purchase, considering we had a very strict completion deadline due to a mortgage offer expiring in the chain. CP were instrumental in ensuring the whole chain completed, following up with solicitors on a daily basis and making sure all parties were kept updated. I genuinely believe our purchase would not have gone ahead without their perseverance. Massive thank you to Steph and Jo for all your hard work.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

Our experience of selling through Country Properties was a good one. They were always helpful and gave useful feedback and advice. They always answered the phone promptly and returned calls quickly. They made a long a protracted sale in the middle of a long chain of properties as stress-less as it could be. Ian in particular always seemed to know the latest information before anyone else and went the full mile to find out what was going on. We'd use them again.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

Having sold our house last year and been unsuccessful in finding anything we tried again earlier this year and had our reservations. We were delighted to come into contact with the team in Ampthill. Firstly, Ken was extremely professional in showing us around the property and dealt with our queries quickly. Our next interaction was with Sasha who dealt with us from offer all the way through to exchange and completion. She’s absolutely brilliant. Extremely professional, and polite but also fair and sensible so far as negotiation goes. She also made the effort to chase all the way down our chain and obtain real updates for us, without her I’m not sure we’d have seen the deal exchange at all! We wouldn’t hesitate to use CP’s services again in the future and would certainly recommend them.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism
