GoogleBy far the worst letting agency I have ever encountered.
I was a tenant of Merchant Lettings who Countrywide have now absorbed. They got my rent mixed up with another tenants of the same name and hounded me for months for rent that I'd already paid. It didn't stop until I sent in bank statements proving the money had left my account in to theirs.
AND THAT'S NOT THE WORST.....
I have severe allergies and asthma and when the kitchen ceiling collapsed, I thanked God I was renting and that it was someone else's responsibility to deal with. HOWEVER....... The following occurred:
1. It took over a month before any work started at all!
2. When it did, it was causing mess and disruption to the entire flat (even though i'd called, advised of my allergies and asked that all the other room doors be closed and taped shup to prevent filth spreading.)
3. The mess was horrific and no one came to clean it up - it was all left to me. I mean what's the point of renting if you are still left with all the hassle? I had to end up paying for a professional cleaning company that specialise in this type of clean up at the cost of £200, which they refused to reimburse. The owner of the flat was annoyed too, as she had asked them to be respectful
4. The previous tenant at my flat left owing money to utilities firms. I showed them my lease proving that i was not in the flat at the time, but the company has requested that the branch manager at Countrywide write a letter also confirming my date of entry. A simple task you'd think? Well no - she has refused and said it's nothing to do with her.
At present, I have just sent off a complaint letter to the property services ombudsman - I am hoping they will give them a boot up the behind!
As a result, my partner and I .are moving out of the flat we love as soon as we are able, just to get away from Countrywide. They are a nightmare

GoogleHorrible company. Condescending. Unprofessional. Hidden charges and broken promises.
If that sounds like the kind of company that you need , you've found them.
