I recently sold my house in Sawbridgeworth, and it was a transaction that was slightly more complicated than usual. Marion and Sarah went beyond the call of duty for me at every turn and helped to alleviate the stressful nature of the process. I can’t thank this extremely professional, considerate and communicative team enough.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

Right from the start I was impressed…

Right from the start I was impressed with Intercounty, which is why I chose them to sell a property for me. Andrew Kershaw valued the property and suggested the way forward (due to the type of house it was) would be an 'Open House'. The open house was held 13 days after the property went on the market and we received two firm offers. We accepted one of the offers and from there it was as straightforward as any house sale can be. I had contact with several member of the team at Intercounty and they were all friendly and professional.

Professional and Friendly team

I am all new to renting privately, and I was starting to feel like I was asking too much with other estate agents. I saw a property I. The Hertfordshire area and I was called back by Hannah and she was excellent she gave me information that other estate agents did not previously given me, however something went wrong and I did not receive a callback so I decided to call back the office and was put through to George and he’s been amazing to the point now I will now only be dealing with intercounty estate agents. He’s kept his promise and called me back with information I requested and he’s so polite and professional thank you so much and I’m hoping to be renting with them soon.

Highly delighted

Highly delighted with the service we had from Intercounty Estate Agents at Bishop’s Stortford in selling our house. We thoroughly recommend them to anyone contemplating putting their property on the market. Right from our first meeting to discuss our sale to completion they showed exemplary professionalism and dedication to a high class service to us the client. Being able to have such superb support throughout the process put as at ease and reduced the inevitable stress levels. Every time we met them at the agency or rang up they were pleasant, very helpful and answered all the questions we asked, no matter how trivial. Our grateful thanks go especially to Doug Whybrow, our Intercounty Progress Chaser, for working above and beyond the call of duty in securing our exchange of contracts, going the extra mile hardly describes the superb service and support we had from Doug. His attention to detail, professionalism, knowledge of the whole process and ability to move things forward as they should was just outstanding. We cannot thank him enough for working so very hard on our behalf.Steve & Gill Drake

We’ve had a great experience with Intercounty

We’ve had a great experience with Intercounty throughout our buying and selling process. The estate agent team were very efficient at generating interest in our property for sale, and they ensured we were able to secure the property we wished to move to. In particular, our Sales Progressor - Doug Whybrow - has been excellent at keeping us informed of the sale/purchase process throughout, proactively advising us on what the next steps will be and keeping up the pressure when things seemed to be slowing a little. Would certainly recommend Intercounty and would use them again in the future.

Totally recommend! :)

Just bought a house, and couldn't be happier with the whole process from the B/S Intercounty Estate Agents team. From viewing with Jack Wilkinson to discussing the particulars with Olivia Vanlint and then progressing the sale with Doug Whybrow, they were the loveliest, friendliest people to deal with. They sorted out everything, answered all questions and made the process not feel scary at all...which it usually is for first-time buyers! Having dealt with previous Estate/Letting Agents before coming to Intercounty, I would thoroughly recommend Intercounty for their knowledge, help, advice and just being utterly nice. Definitely need more of that in the world! :)

We got the rental in the end....

I'm from Texas, so the agencies here are very different for me. They did what was needed for us to get the rental, however, our landlady doesn't do electronic signature so we had to come into the office and do the paperwork all over again. You would think they should know what their client prefers. Additionally, the third party inspectors they hired to look at the house before we moved in made a lot of mistakes on the inspection report. So it was a lot of faph, but in the end, we got the rental and have moved in.

AV · 23 May 2018

Agent replied · 13 June 2024

Thank you for your reply, we really appreciate both good and bad feedback and look to use it to improve our service. As you rightly mentioned, all inventory’s are undertaken by a third party, this is to give tenants a completely fair & independent check out process. Based on your feedback we will review our supplier’s performance.

Great experience shame about the conveyancing

I would definitely recommend Intercounty. Every person I dealt with along the way was pleasant and professional. From the initial discussions with Bob, to the first viewings with Olivia and the consequent conversations with Will and Doug. I work in a sales environment and know the lack of empathy that can arise when dealing with people, especially when they are stressed and frustrated, which enevitabley we became during the process. I never felt I wasn’t listened to and that is the greatest asset your team have. Thanks and well done. The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is the recommendation of Intercounty Conveyancing (the dreaded Premier Property Lawyers). This was a let down, as all the positive things I experienced from Intercounty didn’t follow through with PPL. We were given a named conveyancer called Leanne Martin who was pleasant enough but was terrible at communication. She didn’t return calls or email and here phone went straight to answerphone most of the time. I guess these are a big general conveyencer that all the agents use. Unfortunately you end up feeling like you are thrown in a big pot and you become just another number. Why don’t Intercounty strike up a relationship with a local firm and then people may get the same personal positive experience?

Doug Intercounty

For me, being a nervous buyer/seller, Doug (sales progresser) at intercounty Bishops Stortford was 1st class. He called regularly and always kept me in the loop whilst reassuring me along the way. I seriously couldn't ask for more, between Doug and Helen at Equity Enfield, my nerves were steadied and I was always made to feel like a friend to them, brilliant. Mark Bishop.

Myself and my husband were so pleased with the service we received at intercounty. We dealt with quite a lot of the staff throughout our sale and they were very good especially Doug who stood out, he was extremely helpful and professional throughout keeping us updated at each stage and always available if we needed him. I would happily recommend intercounty to a friend.

Think you don't need an Estate Agent? Think again.

We recently purchased a property the sale of which was handled by Doug Whybrow and his Team at Intercounty Estate Agents in East Hertfordshire. If you think you do not require the assistance of an Estate Agent once you have entered into conveyance proceedings I urge you to think again. Doug and his Team were wholly instrumental in ensuring the sale completed. Doug and his Team liaised with all parties in the chain and, simply put, without his very kind assistance the transaction would not have completed. We are indebted to Doug and his Team. Further, Doug will be our 'go to' Estate Agent of choice for future property sale/purchase transactions.

Unfair and greedy terms and conditions and totally negative experience

Intercounty were engaged to provide an introductory service (only) for finding a tenant for my property. They did not provide or confirm any terms and conditions, nor any Fee Agreement in advance.They provided an acceptable service in marketing the property, and found tenants who were prepared to rent the property for 2 1/2 years. However, Intercounty then demanded a fee that was the equivalent of 2 1/2 times what would have been paid for a six month rental period where the work required for the service would have been the same which ever rental period was to be agreed. Three other Letting agents agreed with me that this was unfair and greedy, and would only have charged the same fee for a 6 month let as for a 2 1/2 year let.There followed attempts at negotiation, but Intercounty was unwilling to compromise, proposing instead that I go for a 6 month letting agreement and then later renew it for the fuller rental period originally agreed. This caused the tenants to back out of the process.I had by then received a notice from a vetting service employed by Intercounty which gave me the contact details of the prospective tenants, whom I then contacted, offering to provide the tenancy on the originally agreed 2 1/2 year basis at the originally agreed monthly rental, and also offering to remove the rental review after a year, that was an original condition. The prospective tenants accepted to proceed on this basis under a proposed direct agreement with me. The prospecive tenants were then contacted by Intercounty who sabotaged the new direct arrangement, causing the prospective tenants to pull out and not want anything further to do with me or Intercounty. I would probably have done the same in their position. Intercounty were professionally negligent in not agreeing or disclosing their agency terms and conditions in advance.Intercounty were uncompromising and unreasonable in sticking to their greedy and unfair terms and charges.Their handling of the whole experience twice caused the prospective tenants to withdraw, which cost them to lose the tenants and myself but all of us to lose financially as a consequence.

Agent replied · 13 June 2024

Thank you for your comments, feedback is always much appreciated. Having looked closely at this situation we note that you were good enough to write in with positive feedback about how professionally Intercounty had marketed your property. Noted also was your reference about our T & C’s which have to be clear in our agency agreement and had been signed by yourself. In offering to you a long term tenant our intention would be to give more security in the long term and avoid costly void periods. As the fees are based on a percentage there is an implication to the fee and it is common that we have to chat this situation through with our landlords which we were always very happy to do but understand that you wanted to deal directly with our clients. It is only a very small percentage of proposals that can not be successfully negotiated however we are committed to always trying to find resolution. Best wishesJames SuttonLettings Area Director

Definitely recommend Intercounty!

We have come into contact with many estate agents through the last few years buying our first home and now moving on. Intercounty have without doubt conducted themselves in the best way of all of them - realistic pricing, honest feedback and even just the fact that they have longer opening hours has been really appreciated. We were told we could sell our house for much more than we knew was realistic, and now are watching all houses around us reduce their prices to try and get a sale, while we are sold, complete in our new house and very happy with the outcome. Josh and Rosanna particularly were amazing - giving their honest thoughts on houses we were looking at when they could have just pushed us to make offers on the first ones we saw to hurry the sale along. I would recommend to anyone and will definitely use them again if the need arises, which I sort of hope it doesnt!

We have viewed several properties with Intercounty and offered on 2. Unfortunately the sellers pulled out of the first house but Intercounty recommended another house to us which we have offered on and its been accepted. We have always found them so nice to deal with and I have to give a particular mention to Liz and Jenny who have always been so lovely and helpful. If we do ever end up selling our house I would use Intercounty to sell, without a doubt.

Resolved the issue after countless follow up

I recently moved into an apt managed by intercounty and had a very good experience with their Lettings team and to be honest I had set my expectations less with their property management or support team as it would be hard for anyone to support/sort the issues encountered in apts, but it was worse than it can be, too bad property management team
