Googlewhat we experienced with this agency was terrible...agent showed us an apartment to rent and started often ringing us and asking us whether we want it..One Thursday we gave a deposit 500£ for this apartment and we agreed on Saturday to go to begin to fix documents.On Saturday we went to the office at 9.30 am but our agent was not there, and they said she would come in 1 pm we returned to 1 nM but she had not come...and so began the search for the agent .Monday she was not working Tuesday she was at work and started paperwork on Wednesday again disappeared she knew that we hurry and the deal was to strike on Friday. Thursday she came to work and said that paperwork and will ring an hour but she doesn't ring...We called her and she said the owner of apartment accepted another offer sorry!!!!! We were in shock!!!!This woman left us on the street and had to live in friends...and she offered to give us the same apartment but free after a month this woman was joking with us!!!!!!!!

The process was simple and easy. Very friendly and helpful staff. They had a spare key for when we managed to get locked out. Very grateful to them for finding us our beautiful new home.

GoogleAvoid Bairstow Eve Letting Agents like the plague. They consistently underperformed, they forge contracts, they fail to meet basic standards, and left me feeling exploited and let down. Airbnb would be a better choice. AVOID AVOID AVOID.
They're an absolute bunch of charlatans!! (you dumb letting agents can Google that)

GoogleYes people there were friendly, but that's about it. First off, paid a 'reasonable fee' of £300 and spent 30 minutes writing down every personal detail for a background check. Then paid another £125 for contract drafting. Took them almost 3 weeks to draft the contract. Finally they will frequently close early or have no one in the office during opening hour. I would rather take the risk using Gumtree next time than use BE again

Dear Mr Jin, thank you for your feedback and I am very sorry you feel the service you have received has not met the standard you would expect. We are very sorry you feel the reference and contracts weren’t complete to your standard however Countrywide do always go above and beyond for our landlords as well as our tenants . I must express how strict our referencing checks are and as a result we would require personal details as we did at the time. The tenancy agreement is always produced by our legal team in a timely manner and will only be put together once all checks are complete and the fee’s are paid. If there is any way we can improve your experience with us please do not hesitate in contacting the Romford Lettings Manager on 01708 288398.
