Most unhelpful and patronising agency ever. They never update on progress or send you information they promised to send. I have to call on a daily basis to make sure they follow my case. Avoid.

An absolute horrific estate agents. Sgambolic service, unorganised. Giving keys to service personnel without tenants knowledge. Leaving flat unlocked after viewings. Not responding to tenants emails. Deposit not being held in regulated deposit scheme. Farcical service.

Highly recommend this branch, I have dealt with them for over a year and they have jumped through hoops to sort out any issues I've had. Special thanks goes to Fiona who has managed the process from end to end, given me good advice and most importantly saved me a bunch of money.

I would be more than happy to leave a review regarding my experience with Country wide. Nadia is currently helping me relocate to Glasgow. She has given me advice about the areas of Glasgow that would suite me and also been able to give me price and times of my daily commute to work. Working with Nadia has put my mind at ease and I can concentrate on the move, as she is in contact with me with a selection of flats for me to see. This is a service that I very much appreciate.

Make sure you read the small print of the contract in relation to your fees or you will get burnt in the end

Atrocious service. This is qualified as follows: Unhelpful; Tardy in response to queries (two weeks to respond to an email); Poor communication in general (do not return calls when requested, difficult to get hold of); Do not act upon or close out items raised in inspections; Made the check out process unnecessarily prolonged (especially with regards to the return of funds).

The west end branch was extremely helpful in locating our new flat in the west end of Glasgow. They were always quick to respond to our questions and acted in a friendly and professional manner. Thank you!

Avoid this letting agency at all costs!! I have rented a property with countrywide for the past 12 months with absolutely no contact from them whatsoever!! Staff at the Candleriggs branch were extremely rude and patronising to my partner and I who were renting for the first time. There is no sense of urgency on there part everything takes so long to process and you are never filled in on the progress of events. After living in the property for 12 months I was offered to extend the lease on the basis of a rent increase!! Another thing on the lead up to the expiry of my lease its almost as if countrywide were trying to avoid me. I have been calling non stop leaving multiple voicemails regarding deposit and return of keys and have yet to gain a response!!! The lease has expired yesterday and I have a feeling they have a sneaky money grabbing trick up there sleeves! I I am absolutely appalled at this service and would recommend to all future buyers to stay well clear of this letting agency.

Very poor experience and I'd be concerend if I was letting property through this agent. As a contractor I was asked by the owner of the property to assess some potential works to their property. It had been set up by the owner that the agent 'Countrywide' would meet me at the property and allow me to carry out a survey for the work invloved. On the survey date I then received a call from countrywide to say that they couldnt make it and I'd need to come into the branch to collect keys. I went into the branch and they didnt know who I was or why I was there but they didnt seem to care either. Very disorganised, poor service but worst of all no security checks were done! I was in normal clothing ( Not work uniform ) I could have been anyone, they did not ask me who I was or what I needed the keys for. They just gave out keys freely. I could have been anyone and I know that if this was my home and my family's safety that was being compromised by giving keys out unchecked and freely I'd be really concerend.

Rented a flat from Countrywide (then Merchant Lettings) and can safely say that I will never be going through them again. It took 3 months to get the contract signed for the property which was mostly due to a lack of clarity at the start of the process of what was needed from us. The company is far from transparent meaning that getting anything sorted in the property means going through about 3 or 4 different subsidiary companies of Countrywide with no-one ever taking responsibility for the work being done. Just a nightmare to deal with. Avoid at all costs!

I've used Countrywide (West End) to find a new tenant for a recently vacated property. Not only did they find one within a week but when illness prevented them from taking up the property they found another with a further couple of weeks. The tenant has turned out to be pleasant, reliable and good at looking after our flat. I was kept informed all throughout and a potentially stressful time was extremely well managed. I will certainly continue to use Countrywide.

I was recommended to use Countrywide to carry out the sale of my house after a very long time with another agency and no success. The difference in professionalism and ability was immediately clear. After a fair evaluation of the property i was handed over to Nicole who managed the marketing and sale of my property very well. i had a good uptake in viewings almost immediately and i was kept up to date getting feedback regularly. after some expected up's and down's i had an offer after 3-4 months and Nicole worked hard in keeping the offer in line with my expectations. I live 200 miles away from the property so the good communication and flexibility shown by Countrywide all through the process was a great advantage for me. I would recommend there services to anyone.

I purchased my new home from Countrywide in Hamilton and was very impressed with the very professional and friendly service. I then decided to sell my old home through Countrywide too and was not disappointed by the consistently high levels of service I experience when buying. Though I have spoken to a number of very polite and helpful people in the Hamilton office, my main point of contact was with Nicole. Who has made the selling process smooth, simple, stress free and has also provided me with a high level of communication at every step. The communication was the highlight of the service I received from the Hamilton office, as it made me feel that my property was being actively promoted and that I was in control of all the facts and kept up to date with all the information regarding viewings and any related feedback. Highly recommended for people who want high levels of communication and activity from their property agents.

Quoted us a thousand pounds for their fees at the start....demanded almost nineteen hundred in the end:got the valuation wrong (I thought this was the main part of their job):by ten thousand pounds ; charged four hundred pounds upfront before they even STARTED the selling process "for advertising"...and talked my son (inexperienced in dealing with dlossy boys and con tricks) into using their own extortionate cronies to do the Home Valuation Report. Stay away fromthis lot. They have nothing to recommend them.Next time,we'll sell online....ourselves.

Took forever to get my lease application sorted. I found at times they were completely unprofessional in not returning calls, pretending to be on lunch break at 10am, and the quite common "oh our computer system is down, so call back later" which seems to happen throughout the day.

I have been a landlord for 10 years. Last year the agency I used was taken over by Countrywide Residential Lettings since the takeover Countrywide have been appalling, I have had Sheriffs Court letters issued through non payment of bills (sent to Countrywide) they consistently send correspondence to the wrong place. I have spent more time over the past year dealing with their incompetence than I had in all the previous 9 years. Everything is dealt with by separate offices or departments who never talk to each other. Damage was caused to my property which was noted by the tenants on moving in but not communicated to me by Countrywide, so when they moved out I was left with the bill. Carpets I had renewed 18 months previously have just been changed again due to Countrywide incompetence. And to cap it all they released my tenants deposit and then told me they hadn't paid the last months rent. Unprofessional, incompetent and to be avoided at all costs.

Avoid at all cost. They didn't have a clue what was going on at our flat. Their inventory was out of date, charge us for work that hadn't been carried out. Took months to return send part of deposit after tenant left with rent outstanding and deducted cleaning cost but left the flat dirty. I could go on!

This is the second time that I have used the City Living branch of Countrywide to sell a home and the second time that I have been really glad that I did so. As you would expect, I had the usual visits from several Estate Agents based in and around the city centre of Glasgow, but have to say that from the first moment that I spoke with Nicola and her team, I was confident that they had a clearer understanding of the market and a much more realistic approach to managing my expectations. Selling your home can be a fraught experience, especially in the current economic climate. Nicola and her team kept me abreast of feedback from viewers in a timely fashion and I believe they did everything in their power to promote my property in as targeted a fashion as possible. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Nicola and her team. With a market which is so changeable, you really need people who are at the top of their game to make sure that they are achieving the best possible price - you need Nicola at Cityliving.

By 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

Who needs “Kirsty and Phil” when you have Nicola at Countrywide Estate Agents selling your house. Nicola and the team at Countrywide have sold 2 of my flats in the past 2 years. The service they provided was second to none and very personable. They gave me lots of guidance before the flats went on sale, and as a result the flats sold in 1 Month of going on the market. They are also good at providing recommendations in different areas if you are then looking to bye. In my eyes, the complete package.
