Shit company
Spent a year in a house share where they did nothing to remove an awful tenant who stole food and caused aggravation that several had to leave early.

Lorna gave me mortgage advice that was professional, efficient & much appreciated. The service provided was first rate & I would recommend her to all my friends and family. This was my first time buying property & she walked me through the process, giving me confidence in the choices I was making - thanks so much Lorna.

I recently visited TAYLORS SALES AND LETTING AGENTS for the first time, and I must say that I am extremely pleased with the level of customer service I received. During my visit, I had the pleasure of speaking with Saqad Rafiq, who went above and beyond to assist me. He was incredibly helpful and showed a genuine willingness to help me achieve my desired outcome. I am looking forward to continuing to work with him and the rest of the team at TAYLORS SALES AND LETTING AGENTS.

Useless
I have never dealt with such an unprofessional, rude and ultimately useless company! If you trust this bunch of morons to sell/ lease your house you need to have you head examined, trust me you would be better doing it yourself... They offer poor advice with little guidance, they are lazy and unresponsive but worst of all they are rude and unprofessional - what more would you desire from someone who is meant to be assisting you with probably the biggest purchase/ most stressful thing you can do in life. Trust me, stay well clear otherwise you will soon regret it!!!

Connor showed us around a property on several occasions and was always welcoming and informative. We are proceeding with the property.

After having a viewing with Connor, super impressed to see his acumen and carefulness in looking after clients. He was caring, and clear, and impressive in his knowledge. Always went above and beyond to help me.

We have bought through and sold with Taylors, most recently selling our house in Hitchin. I really cannot fault them. From the outset they were professional, polite and extremely efficient and we felt that the management of our sale was managed very, very well and fully justified their fees. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them and they will certainly be our first choice for any future house moves.
Good Morning Kay, thank you for taking the time to leave us with this excellent 5 star review of the service you received from Taylors in Hitchin. It is fantastic to read that the team were very professional, polite and extremely efficient. We look forward to helping you again in the future. Kind regards, Emma.

I’ve been looking to rent a 2-4 bed house in the area, we’re willing to pay up to £1900, I’ve seen plenty of houses that I’m interested however they never answer the phone, I’ve left loads of voice messages and emails regarding the properties I’m interested but I have not received even an acknowledgement in the 3.5 weeks I’ve tried, very disappointing :(NegativeResponsiveness
Hi Yenny, Please do contact us via review@countrywide.co.uk should you wish to discuss further your concerns. Kind regards, Scott @ Customer Relations

Do not rent from these people
Do not rent from these people. They are an absolute nightmare. From day one they will extort any fee from you they can and when you leave the property they will continue to extort from your deposit. I have been renting in Oxfordshire for 30 years and they are the worst I have experienced. The property management is a nightmare. It took them over six months to fix a leak in the bathroom by which time the water damage was extensive. They do not acknowledge any improvements you make to the property. I fixed a wobbling doorstep, repainted the front door, garage door, and window surrounds as well as the fascia, at my own personal expense, but they extorted £280 from my deposit for some scuffed paintwork and minor damage to a carpet which hadn't had any work done to it despite annual intrusive inspections. They said they would try to keep us as sitting tenants by seeking investors to sell the property to, but absolutely no attempt was made to do this. So pleased to be finally rid of them. Absolute nightmare company.

Shambolic, avoid if possible
You deal with the local agents to view and sign the contract for the property, The inventory is sent by email after you have moved in which is too late, another dept based in a different part of the country deals with repairs. When you leave you deal with yet another drpt in another part of the country and then the inventory when you leave is done days after you have vacated by yet another dept in yet another part of the country. Inventory aren't cross referenced but the one when you leave is done in far more detail than the one given you when you move in. For example and filthy bathroom with cupboards full of sanitary items and burnt candles missed! Missed but on the leaving inventory dust on the mantlepiece picked up. None of the dept talk to each other and none get back to you either. 18 days after moving out still no response about my deposit. Avoid this agency if at all possible, 33yrs of renting and worse agency I have come across

Incompetent and disorganised
Slow staff, very impersonal, made moving that much harder. After seeing a property on rightmove we contacted Taylor’s in the middle of August 22. They said they would be in touch and never contacted us. We rang a further 5 times, offered to pay a holding deposit and explained we needed to be moved by mid September at the latest, had sorted out finance and checks all ourselves to speed the process along. Each time we were told no one had taken our details and never contacted. Today (October 4th) I have just received my first phone call from them asking if I’m still wanting to move.

Awful company left us with huge parking debt of over £800. They issued us with a incorrect parking permit and then decided to denie it despite emails and letters confirming they issued it.

Don’t recommend at all
I do not recommend Taylors Lettings.I had nothing but issues and problems with them and the staff. Most definitely a passing of the buck company. Sent me to different people for certain things such as the Landlord and he sent me straight back to them. It was annoying and tedious.Almost felt like they didn’t know what they were doing. I’m not trying to insult anyone here but I had no faith in the service and often felt they were clueless and were rude to me on occasions. They were not pleasant. The stress I went through to try and get monies owed back to me. It was a complete nightmare. I hope no one else has to chase money from this company. It’s a complete farce. I had to seek legal advice and send a final demand letter to them like I was some sort of debt collector. It was unnecessary. I finally got it back but not the whole amount originally promised but at this point I accepted it because I wanted nothing more to do with them.
