GoogleExtremely Poor Experience, Strongly Not Recommended
I genuinely wish I could rate Entwistle Green / Countrywide zero stars. In my experience, this is one of the worst letting and property management companies I have ever dealt with. I strongly advise anyone NOT to rent or buy a property through Countrywide or Entwistle Green
Property Condition & Negligence:
The property I was rented, 61, Holmebrook Drive, BL6 6RH, was clearly not inspected before letting. After moving in, I immediately discovered multiple serious issues, including:
- Broken curtains
- A damaged bathtub
- Window vents that would not close, allowing constant cold air inside
- No working hot water
- Radiators/heating not functioning
How a property was allowed to be rented without even basic safety and habitability checks is beyond understanding.
Prolonged Delay & Impact on Health:
It took nearly six months for Countrywide to fix essential issues like hot water and heating. During this time, my family of three, including my 8-year-old child, was forced to live in freezing conditions.
Due to this prolonged negligence and mismanagement, my daughter had to visit emergency medical services multiple times, which I directly attribute to the lack of heating and hot water. This goes beyond inconvenience and into serious health and safety concerns.
Unresolved Issues:
Despite repeated follow-ups and escalations, several issues were never addressed, including:
- Repairing curtains and window blinds
- Sealing window vents that constantly let in cold air
- Issues affecting privacy, hygiene, and overall living standards
These ongoing problems made the property uncomfortable and unsuitable for family living.

GoogleAlthough our sale was a long drawn out process, which was made further complicated by the COVID-19 restrictions, Chris and his team at Entwistle Green were amazing!
Their communication when I felt there was none from anyone else was so reassuring and they really did go above and beyond in a time when their hands were tied in a lot of instances.
If you are looking to sell your home, and you want a service that is reliable, has excellent communication and above all is professional from everyone involved, I really recommend the team at Entwistle Green.
A huge thank you to Chris, Stephen, Carl and Hayley who dealt with our case. Excellent service, and I hope that other people looking to sell their homes in this difficult restrictive market speak to you as you made a stressful process a lot calmer and smoother.
Thanks again, Hayley and Nick.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

I was very impressed with the speed at which our application was processed, and all our querys were answered within minutes! Keep up the good work!

GoogleThese guys are really fantastic! Shortly after requesting information about a property I received a call from the lovely Hayley who helped a very nervous first-time buyer navigate their first house viewing, and even arranged a meeting between me and a mortgage advisor. The viewing was quick and easy, the follow up was unobtrusive and all communication has been top-notch!
The mortgage advisor Hayley put me in touch with - Kate - has been absolutely incredible and I cannot fault her at all! Information was given accurately and in a way that was easy to understand, and she was very responsive to all of my questions.
I would recommend Entwistle Green to anyone in a heartbeat - everyone is so friendly and helpful, and has made the experience of purchasing my first house such a positive one!

GoogleI canβt thank Keely and the team at Entwistle Green Bolton enough from start to finish they have been nothing but gems. When it came to viewing the property Keely was so much help compared to other estate agents showed so many different flats in the building and she was in no rush to see to next viewer because they only do one viewing a day 10/10 would recommend using Entwistle Green Bolton.

GoogleLandlord of property in Bolton and used Entwistle Green lettings for a 3 year period. Communication is poor and they are happy to take their commission and not do much else (e.g the odd phone call, report). Never heard from them in 3 years. As the tenants have now moved on, I am selling the house, so won't require their services, but had I have continued to rent out I would have looked for another agent for sure.
