GoogleMyself and my husband have been dealing with countrywide estate agents in Byres Rd since April of this year in regards to a rented property.
We have been dealing with Jamie Sidebottom for all of this time.
He has been exemplary in his professional and helpful manner. Nothing is too much trouble and he carries out his duties calmly and politely . We had a recent issue regarding the address and Jamie came to our rescue sorting it all out in his usual calm professional way.
He is a great asset to the business.

GoogleViewing and initial experience until agreement were just ok.
The flat was in poor condition when I moved in in July 2021. Apart from bathroom tiles and the flat's main door which I left without a proper locker for a month after moving in -risking my own safety- nothing else has been fixed from the 2-3 things I reported straight away as more important to be fixed (Please note that I have been in the property for almost a year now). Still more things I have reported on the inventory list when they provided it to me but I haven't gone through all as the agency requests reporting everything through a specific website and what's the point to spending my time, once they have never read the first things I reported? For now, I am waiting for a response as my fire alarms went off two days ago.
No communication from their side in general, apart from a time that an agent emailed me to ask for money because according to the system I have not paid which was not true and they actually found out that they had my name under another property (still don't know what was going on but they ensured me was a mistake when they updated something on their system. Anyway).
I am assuming agents will have to contact me to renew my contract when expires, especially if they/the landlord want to increase the rent. And if I decide to move out I want to see what they will attempt to say about everything I have reported and they never fixed. Are they going to ask to steal money from the deposit? I hope they will not dare. I also hope the landlord knows about what they do because I had even sent a "letter before claim" (before you take court action) before they have the flat's main door fixed. Does the landlord know? I am wondering.
For future/potential renters: Check everything and take photos of everything when you move in, also comment on everything that is included in your inventory. Raise the issues straight away -choose to send emails so you have everything in writing. And then just hope for yourselves that you will have the courage to fight for your rights if anything happens. Or just consider choosing an agency with a good reputation/reviews.

GoogleKey points from a recent purchase listed with Countrywide Westend from a buyer's perspective. International buyers beware.
In my particular scenario I was a cash buyer however my funds were primarily in USD which I would convert to GBP upon determining an exact price of purchase.
I was attracted to two properties listed by Countrywide, the first I believe was listed in 2019. I sought to make an offer below the listing price as (imo) the property required renovations before it was move in ready. The valuation presented to me in October 2020 was dated April 2019 and there appeared to be little maintenance of the property since the valuation. Negotiations were not entertained and there was disdain cast upon my funding. I left this interaction quite displeased and to-date the listing is still not-sold.
To my dismay I discovered another property which met my needs criteria as a new listing under Countrywide. I faced a dilemma as the listing met my needs but I would have to interact with Countrywide again. I opted to prioritize need over emotion and requested a viewing of the property.
After the viewing I presented my interest to the seller and asked his permission to enter into negotiations directly. After several counter-offers we were able to settle a price, he was paid in less than 3 weeks after the viewing and of course all legal requirements were adhered to. The seller was quite supportive and we maintain good relations after the sale. Countrywide acted only as a middle person through the entire process.
I'll start with the good points, Countrywide has developed a good reputation within the region and through that they have an attractive range of listings. They were quick to book viewings and were quite keen to follow-up on same. Email responses weren't always accurate but all were responded to albeit with a few days lag.
On the negative and in my humble opinion, they are more geared towards routine processing i.e. towards local (UK) buyers and don't wish to invest anytime to aid persons who might not be familiar with the specific Scottish system. I received much more pleasant and knowledgeable responses from other agents. The Scottish system is a bit different from the British system for which I am more familiar.
To potential sellers please bare my feedback in mind, you might be limiting your potential buyer pool by trusting your listing with Countrywide. This limitation in my opinion is not out of due-diligence and your protection but due to a lack of effort on their part.
Perhaps my expectations were marred by other agents or perhaps business is very good for Countrywide and there is a more financial reward to pick fruit from low-hanging branches.
The matter is done and I hope this helps another buyer in some way. C'est la vie
