GoogleSold my flat on Walls Street, Merchant City through Countrywide City Living and I could not have been happier with their service and the end result they achieved for me. From the initial valuation right through to my closing date, they were top notch and what a result! Huge thanks to Danielle and the rest of the team for all their hard work. Best agents in the city centre!PositiveQuality, Professionalism

GoogleProbably the worst lettings experience I've ever had in the UK...
Summarising into bulletpoints:
1. Didn't have the flat cleaned before providing me with the keys (the fridge was mouldy, old food in the cupboards, hair on the bathroom floor, closet was a mess, etc.),
2. Haven't sent over any inventory lists despite endless phone calls and emails to the letting agency to get this over,
3. Doesn't seem like they know anything about the property e.g., asked where the bins were but no one could provide with an answer,
4. Both the property manager and lettings agency were both very rude and unhelpful on the phone and did not hear out any of my concerns whatsoever until I had to really push for it (especially with the bins and flat cleaning situation!)
I cannot emphasize enough - please do NOT rent/let with this lettings agency.

GoogleI 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.

GoogleId avoid at all costs. Scammers.
Asking for more than five weeks rent upfront is ILLEGAL. Doesn't matter how indirectly you go about doing it. Frequently breaking the tenancy agreements and the law is also ILLEGAL. Will be reporting you to trading standards and I encourage others to do the same

GoogleWorst letting agency in Scotland
We rented a flat from countrywide and from entering the flat to leaving it was a very bad and stressful experience.
From the start their communication was awful and they would have no urgency to get back to you or they often just ignored emails.
When the flat above us had a burst pipe we reported it right away and included pictures of the water coming through our roof. We never heard back from Countrywide about repairing the water damage, despite leaving an email and number. Black mould soon grew after which we had to deal with.
When my partner moved in he provided a month notice before and provided everything required for a tenancy agreement to be written. Every other letting agency I have been with had the tenancy agreement ready and signed before moving in, but not Countrywide. For the months we lived in that flat there was no tenancy agreement written with him in it, despite emailing multiple times. When we left we had no evidence that he lived in that flat and could not get a reference from Countrywide since he didn't 'live' in the flat despite paying the rent.
When we decided to leave it took 4 months to get our deposit back. This is because we discovered that the deposit was never updated with any of our names, even though I had signed a tenancy agreement, so had to go through the previous tenant to get our money. When trying to get the help from countrywide to get our deposit back we were told by Jennifer Brown and Paula Neeson that they could not help and it wasn't their job and soon after started ignoring all my emails asking for help.
I would just recommend to stay away from properties that are rented out by Countrywide as it's not worth the stress.
