TrustpilotEfficient, proactive and polite agents
From the moment we interacted with the agents at Intercounty I knew they would be the ones we would find our perfect home through. They were very proactive in suggesting suitable properties that matched our search criteria ahead of being publicly listed. Since having our offer accepted they have been very efficient in moving things forward and a pleasure to deal with, answering all our queries promptly. Nothing seems too much hassle. Thank you! Olivia and Ellen in particular have been nothing short of brilliant.

TrustpilotReview of Intercounty Estate Agents August 2017
My partner and I are first time buyers and have been using sites such as Zoopla, Rightmove UK and Onthemarket.com to search for various properties up for sale. All of the properties are being dealt with by different Estate Agents. We have visited various properties and met with various Estate Agents and Intercounty have not only been the most professional but also the most helpful. They have always been at the end of the telephone or an email and whenever we have had viewings their agents have always been at the property early to meet us on time. We have also had experience with some Estate Agents who have no knowledge of the property they are selling and cannot answer any of our questions but Intercounty have been able to answer our questions, have knowledge of the houses we are looking at or looking for and have regularly sent us new properties available on the market which are in our price range. My partner and I have had some awful experiences with Estate Agents over the past few months however we have both been so impressed by Intercounty and their staff. We would highly recommend them to anyone needing their services.

TrustpilotMy experience with Intercounty
Hi,I am currently in process of purchasing a property via Intercounty and have been personally dealing with Brandon. I would like to thank him for all his hard work and dedication, Brandon has put up with all my stress and silly questions which has been constant during this 2+ month period and during this process and has always come back to me within a timely manner. Brandon has come back to me when promised and has always had "issues" between us and the vendor sorted out as smoothly as possible. Brandon, thanks for all your helpMr & Mrs Walker

Trustpilotβ¦Feedback
After a slightly difficult start which was mainly due to lack of information regarding viewings and feed back and a subsequent phone call from myself to the office which was answered by Olivia Vanlint things changed dramatically. Olivia then took it upon herself to handle our affairs herself and from them on we had regular feed backs and plenty of viewings which resulted in the sale of our house and hopefully the purchase of our new home. All of the staff at the branch are extremely friendly and helpful but I feel customers would feel a lot happier if they had a dedicated agent with whom they could be in regular contact with, which we had with Olivia. I know this can be difficult to achieve but if an agent was allocated say four or five customers then I feel customers will not start feeling neglected.As for Olivia Vanlint we feel she has all the attributes to be a top class asset to Intercounty and treated right she should go a long way in her chosen field. In conclusion I would not hesitate to recommend Intercounty as a good Estate Agent to friends, family and acquaintances.

Proactive and polite customer service from James and Olivia who did a great job for us with buying and selling and Doug who drove through/progressed up to completion. Only let down by our use of intercountyβs own recommended firm of solicitors who were painfully inefficient.

allAgents"That said that if I hadn't..."
That said that if I hadn't complained at the time I had problems with them fixing my hot water on two occasions, leaving me without for 4 weeks first time and 2 weeks the second, it's not their problem, very rude, not letting me talk, not listening to what I had to say, only wanting money.
So the story begins with me moving into this lovely newly renovated studo in Bishop's Stortford and signing a letting agreement with Charles David Casson which were nice and lovely. At some point they were taken over by Intercounty Estate Agents who wrote me a letter saying they took over and that was it. So autumn of 2014 my water boiler which indeed was some kind of state of the art machinery, started overheating and the overflow tank on top of it started overflowing, moment when I rang the agency, explaining the situation. They sent a guy who did something to it and said it was OK. Few months later the boiler started leaking from inside, every day more and more, my bathroom floor was flooding and the guys at the shop downstairs started complaining. I had to cut the water supply to the boiler, thus being left without hot water. Of course they didn't bother to send anyone to fix it until the guys from the charity shop rang them. So the guys who came to fix it eventually, about two weeks after I was left without hot water, came to the conclusion it was a pipe burst inside and the whole thing needed changing and it was to be ordered and that would take another two weeks. Ok,two more weeks without hot water. Lucky it was warm outside and I could take cold showers. Finally the new thing card and I had to stay at home, one day of holiday gone, to let the guys in to install the new boiler. Ok I thought, shit happens, no big deal. Apparently the water pressure was too big and they have installed a new water pressure regulator and assured me there weren't going to be anymore problems. By the way this guy was called Andy the famous plumber. So a few months pass and in January 2016 on a freezing cold night, I go to the toilet and I sit down and start playing with my phone, I heard a loud BANG and water gushing out in the cupboard where the boiler was. Of course I jump strait up and I open the cupboard door and I see that the hot water pipe connection had come loose and was spraying boiling water everywhere. On the floor a massive puddle of hot water flooding the bathroom. Of course I try to turn the valve off and it's stuck and I scald my hands in boiling water, I manage to close it half way and that makes it worst because is increasing the pressure and starts spraying even worse and finally, almost breaking my fingers I manage to stop it. Obviously by this time the bathroom is flooded, my hands are extremely sore and red, my phone is all wet but I consider myself lucky that I was there and I've managed to stop it so I'd didn't flood the whole building.
I couldn't drive to work for the next 3 days as my hands were bandaged and my phone was dead. So I ring these guys from the agency again and they say they need to contact the landlord as the contractors that come to fix it are from the landlord and not from them and they said that they hope I have used the boiler according to the manufacturer's instructions. Of course I go mad realising that they want to blame me for a work poorly executed and this

allAgents"Intercounty is all about..."
Intercounty is all about profit, profit, profit, and they treat tenants with contempt.
They deliberately mis-leased a property, claiming there was no noise problem and that the property would be cleaned before I moved in. Upon moving into the property, it was filthy. As soon as I started to raise concerns about the severe noise level with the neighbours, which was seriously affecting my family's life, they issued a notice to quit - in other words they ended my contact. It cost me nearly ΓΒ―ΓΒΏΓΒ½6,000 to move and to lease another property, and my family was hellishly disrupted. I was present when an Intercounty agent showed a prospective tenant round the property - yes I even had to grant third parties access to the property when they issued the notice to quit and it was akin to history repeating itself when I heard the agent inform the lady that it was a quiet location and noise was not a problem.
Intercounty also set such a high bar upon vacating the property that no one would ever be able to have their bond returned. Indeed, I know the person who vacated the property before me did not receive their bond and they also heavily criticised the tactics employed by Intercounty. This firm needs to be scrutinised by the regulators as it is not fit for purpose. They are actively ripping people off.

Generally very happy with the first two years of service. My only criticism is that I feel I have to double check if a few things are being handled, which, to their credit, the normally are, but Iβd prefer not to feel the need to check.

Dear Mr Collins,Thank you for your comments, it is nice to hear you are pleased with the service we have given over the last two years particularly as there were some issues to deal with over the tenancy. In managing a property efficiently there is a balance to be struck between handling situations without troubling you unnecessarily and communicating effectively. It is a fine line and something we keep under constant review so this review really does help and is much appreciated.If you would like to discuss this matter further please email me, Jamessutton@intercounty.co.ukMany thanks,James
