GooglePlease do not go with this group of cowboys. We rented our property with them for one year and the experience was horrendous. Their electrician quoted £1500 for work, we then got the work completed be a different qualified electrician for £150. The staff were very rude and pushy towards using their own tradesmen, that’s if you could speak with a member of staff on the phone without them cutting you off. They have taken 2 months rent payments from our tenant who is a pensioner with limited funds, even though their contract has ended, we have been fighting to get this money returned for the past 3 weeks, with no joy as yet, even though they admit it is entirely their fault, they each blame different departments. Absolutely would never recommend this company.

Hello Becky,
Unfortunately the branch do not take the rent, the tenant pays this via a standing order and had failed to cancel it, so it was forwarded to you, the landlord, in good faith as the tenant was still in situ. The branch cannot be held responsible if the landlord did not inform the tenant of the change of payment details. As soon as the branch were notified they worked hard with both parties to resolve the issue and ensure the refund was authorised. After speaking with the branch they have confirmed to me that after a long phone call to yourself this was all explained and you both ended the phone call on good terms. In regards to the contactors pricing, I do not believe the branch can be held responsible for this as they do not have control over contractors pricing as this is not the branches area of expertise. After speaking with the branch, you were advised to either go with your own contractor or for us to obtain a second opinion. Ultimately the final decision was yours to make. Please do contact us via review@countrywide.co.uk should you wish to discuss further. Kind regards, Lucy, Customer Relations.

GoogleTaylors have let and fully managed our properties since 2012 out of their Northampton offices. The tenants are very good in the main and renewals have always been turned around quickly. Helen Brock is our property manager and the service is professional with regular updates. We will continue to use Taylors for letting and property management, and from our experiences would recommend them to other potential landlords.

GoogleAVOID AT ALL COSTS! I've had the WORST experience with this company. I put down a holding deposit over a week ago after viewing a property, myself and my partner have called, emailed, left messages countless times and the service has been APALLING! We never get a call back and no one has explained the process or what is going on. We've been trying to book a viewing so that my partner can also see the property whilst the checks are underway, you'd think it wouldn't be so hard considering I've paid a holding deposit! But a week later no one has booked him in yet! We've sent our documents to the branch manager and completed the vetting but have had no acknowledgement or communication, very unprofessional. They've taken our money and have treated us poorly as customers! 1 star is too generous for these crooks! Save yourself the disappointment and go elsewhere!

GoogleEmbarrassment of a company!
After cancelling our viewing on Saturday we were then told they would contact us to re-arrange which never happened. Called the office to get a viewing of the property which was confirmed by a member of staff.
On the day of the viewing after waiting outside the property for 15 minutes with no agent in site we called the office to be informed it was in fact our fault for not waiting for them to call back to confirm the viewing time which was never mentioned as we were given a viewing slot on the phone earlier in the week.
DO NOT DEAL with Taylors unless you enjoy wasting time.

GoogleI am extremely disappointed with the lack of knowledge and shameful professionalism displayed by the branch manager at Taylor's estate agent. My experience with this individual has been nothing short of a nightmare.
From the very beginning, it was evident that the branch manager had a limited understanding of contracts, professionalism and the law in general. Their lack of knowledge was apparent in their inability to answer basic questions about the properties they were supposed to be representing. It was clear that they had not done their homework and were simply trying to wing it.
Furthermore, the branch manager's lack of professionalism was truly shameful. They consistently displayed a dismissive and condescending attitude towards me as a client. Instead of treating me with respect and providing the necessary assistance, they seemed more interested in rushing through the process and making their point clear. Their lack of attention to detail and disregard for my concerns was truly disheartening.
Communication was another major issue with this branch manager. They were often unresponsive to my calls and emails, leaving me feeling ignored and frustrated. It seemed as though they had no interest in maintaining a professional relationship or providing the necessary support throughout the renting process.
Overall, my experience with the branch manager at Taylor's estate agent was extremely disappointing. Their lack of knowledge and shameful professionalism left me feeling undervalued as a client. I would strongly advise anyone considering using this agency to think twice and explore other options.
No response needed either, I was compensated as I had to take this to the property ombudsman who were much more helpful than a certain 2 individuals. Such a shame…
