Good experience so far, occasionally unresponsive but normally attentive. Focus on finding good lodgers over volume, good reputation for not ripping off landlords with inflated maintenance costs.

College and County gave valuable advice regarding the renovation of our property. They were very efficient in finding excellent tenants and in being sensitive to our particular needs. Regarding property maintenance they have consistently acted very swiftly and efficiently and use reliable and effective maintenance contractors. A very professional agency supporting both tenants and landlords

Had a horrible experience with. Failed to reply to any emails promptly. Had rigid and nonsensical policies. Seemed to me undermining and attempting to profiteer from both me and my landlady. Have heard similar horror stories from others. Avoid dealing with if you can.

1/5
Very hard to get deposit back. Were ok throughout the year, but in the end was time consuming, annoying and quite unfair.
Hi Peggy, really sorry that you had a disappointing ending with your tenancy. Of course, it is your landlord who proposes any deductions from the deposit, and this would be based on the inventory and schedule of condition that was updated at your check-out appointment. I understand that the negotiations took 11 working days, but you did get all the undisputed moneys back in a timely manner, and in the end we were able to persuade our client to review his proposals and agree a satisfactory conclusion. Your experience is a great example of why it is worth annotating the original inventory if there are any inaccuracies, and ensuring that one of the tenants is present at the check out appointment to clarify any grey areas with the person putting the check-out report together. I am not sure that the result was "unfair", as if you had considered it to be so, surely you would have taken the matter to the TDS (Tenancy Deposit Scheme)?
5/5
We've ever had an problems with College and County during our tenancy, efficient and friendly, especially our property manager Verity. Would recommend
Thank you for taking the time to post a review Sophie. Your recommendation, together with that of other customers is valuable to us as a business (because potential customers read it) and great affirmation for the team who try so hard to get Ethical Letting right!
