GoogleCompany completely loses interest after you have moved out of your rented house. Week 5, still no sign of a deposit and I'm being ignored by everyone. Landlord has confirmed we left the house in an acceptable state so at this point our money is being held hostage for no reason. Money we could really use for moving into a new house.
During our let, our landlord was more helpful than the company themselves so we went to him directly instead of bothering with them.NegativeResponsiveness, Professionalism

Hello Lucy, after speaking to the branch about this, we know an appointment was made with you to attend the property in order to conduct the check out process, before the new tenant moved in. Unfortunately you did not attend this appointment which meant we could no longer conduct the check out process. We therefore need written conformation from the landlord to say that they were happy to release the despot with out any deductions. This took longer than expected to received despite the branch chasing this numerous times. Please note the branch has not control over the deposit itself and is totally reliant on consent being sent from the landlord before they can release any monies. Our record show you were advised this numerous time and kept up to date at all time. We hope this explains things although if you have any further comments please email us at review@countrywide.co.uk

GoogleThis lettings dept of this estate agent is the worst we've ever had the misfortune to come across. They haven't got a clue what is going on, who is responsible for any concerns nor bother responding anyway.
We rented a property through this agent for a year and they made it a stressful and horrific ordeal from start to finish which ultimately lead to me taking county court action because they breached their tenancy contract.

GoogleThere are some wonderful staff in there, however they have an utterly unprofessional and rude Sales Branch Manager. We agreed on entering a multi agency contract initially with the sales manager and then they try to change their word by saying, they won't work with this particular agency and if that is the case we are not advertising. Eventually I did go multi agency with Bairstow and the same agency, who he said won't work with and when the sale came from the other Agency, I had a tough time in getting our house key back from the Sales Manager. In the end, I got a member of the staff who was very helpful in returning the key on the same day. Third time around, after losing our previous sale, and again the other agency finding us a buyer, I asked for our key to be returned, which they had borrowed from an other agency to conduct a viewing and now they claim they do not have one and the Sales Manager sending very rude and blunt emails. I have to say this person went all out trying to get to market our property, coming home they same day when asked, collecting the keys, lowering commission rates etc. however once that phase is over, or when they know they have lost the battle, he turns into a completely unprofessional chap. Very unsatisfying experience overall, barring the good photography on their ads and the courteous staff.
Note: I had to make some edits to the review I posted initially following these bitter experiences.

GoogleI have received numerous amounts of calls from this estate agency and I have requested my details to be removed, I'm not sure how they had my details in the first place. I have spoken to someone in there and he couldn't even tell me my address or anything in relation to me. With the new GDPR rules that are in place I thought this was illegal to do. I will be seeking further advice and would avoid this estate agent unless you like nuisance calls!!

Googlethis is the worst experience of renting a property. when we visited the property they said all the white goods included. but the day we moved in we realized there is no fridge and washing machine. even after that boiler, heaters and many other things was not working. despite all the emails and contact they never dealt with the issue. I told them the boiler is not working and they send me a link to download the boiler's brochure. I will never ever work with this agency any more.
