GooglePoor communication, slow responses, and a very frustrating experience
My experience with Town & Country was extremely disappointing and unnecessarily stressful.
We were trying to purchase a property and were told that we needed to use Town & Country as part of the process. We later found out this was not actually the case, which made the whole situation even more frustrating, as it felt like we had lost valuable time following a process that was not clearly explained to us.
Communication was very poor throughout. Responses were slow, calls and emails were not dealt with quickly enough, and we constantly felt like we were having to chase for updates. At times, it felt like they were simply too busy to give our case the time and attention it needed.
One of the most frustrating parts was being told by one member of staff that the house was not affordable for us, even though we believed it was. We were then later told by another member of staff that it was affordable. In my opinion, this felt like we had been judged too quickly without the full facts being properly understood.
The lack of consistency and urgency caused a lot of stress. We were waiting for a mortgage in principle, but the process took far too long and required constant chasing from our side. When you are trying to secure a home, delays like this really matter.
Needless to say, we have now arranged a mortgage elsewhere and have purchased the house in question. However, we very nearly missed out on it, and in my opinion, the delays and poor communication from Town & Country played a major part in that.
Buying a home is already stressful enough without feeling ignored, pre-judged, or left in the dark. Based on my experience, I would strongly recommend that anyone considering using Town & Country asks clear questions from the start, gets everything confirmed in writing, and considers shopping around before relying on them.
Overall, I found the service slow, unclear, and disappointing. I would not choose to use them again.

GoogleWe recently sold our property in Caddington through Town and Country. From the first meeting with Simon we received great advice with a lovely friendly, non pushy manner. Throughout the sale process, the whole team were so accessible and easy to talk to. A special thank you to Faye who managed to find us Removers a couple of days before completion as our original Removers were unable to do the job. Wonderful Company!!

GoogleTown and Country in Caddington were absolutely fantastic from beginning to end with our house purchase , I was forever asking questions and trying to get extra viewings to sort house maintenance as soon as we moved in and they were always so calm, patient and helpful !! Simon and Millie made the journey for a heavily pregnant lady very easy and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to move or sell!! They are truly amazing !!

GoogleT&C Caddington were fantastic. We highly recommend them and wouldn't use anyone else now. We tried 3 other estate agents prior to T&C, what a difference! They were professional, friendly and got everything sorted quickly.

GoogleWe have worked with Simon, Paul & Mark, as well as the rest of the team at Town & Country, for many years and they have always provided a very professional, proactive, friendly and good value for money service to us when finding tenants for our rental property and when we have looked to sell this property. Their expertise in the local market and personal approach is second to none and we would thoroughly recommend them.

Googlei am very disapointed with the redbourn office, i recently was looking to buy a 4 bed house but was met at one property by an an agent who was very arrogant, as soon as i walked into the property i apologised that i knew it was too small and not to waste time i didnt need to look around, he took this personally and i bit my lip and left. i rang their office this week to enquire about a property but as it was late in the day the person who answered phone was in a rush to get me off the phone and said they would email the details of my enquiry, they didnt!! i am now using other agents.
