TrustpilotChichester branch
Chichester branch. Terrible customer service, clearly more about the money rather than advising as to what would actually result in a quick sale. Was told a potential viewer was "a bit bonkers" and was more or less forced out of our home 15 mins before another viewing as they had turned up early. Wasted 3 months. And now, despite REPEATED requests, they still can't pick their board up (even though we have sold via another agent). AVOID. AVOID. AVOID.

GoogleVery dissapointed in this company. Seems they took advantage of someone from another country, as well as someone who's never rented through an agency before. Asked the woman upfront if all I would be paying was on the form she had distributed to me, as well as six months rent upfront. She agreed, so I would go ahead with the deposit, then, promptly took the form away from me, so I wouldn't have evidence to use against her. Then, was told I had to pay separately for council tax, water, electricity and Internet. And that I wouldn't be able to get my deposit back, even though I'm a student and single Mom!

Hi Andrea,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback and it is very important to us. Council Tax, Utilities and the internet services are usually separate to any rental amount advertised because they are charged by separate parties. Should you wish to discuss your experience further we would be more than grateful for any addition feedback. You can contact us via review@countrywide.co.uk.
Kind regards, Scott

GooglePoor and expensive experience - Requested in writing they let the property for a minimum of 12 months as this is the minimum period I offer tenants. The contract was written out for 6 months only (I stupidly took their word for it that is was 12 months), tenant left then I had a 2 month void and a Β£400+ Council tax bill. On top of their fees, lost rent and the cost for another agent to find a new tenant etc The "Mistake" has cost me over Β£4300!!!

GoogleI am absolutely appalled with the lack of communication. I viewed a property at 5pm last night and contacted the agency to make an offer at 8.50 this morning. I was told that the agent that showed me the property would call me back. I phoned and left a message again requesting a call back immediately as I was very interested and would make an offer today only to be contacted at 15.30 to say someone else had taken the property!!! Disgraceful customer service! I will be making a formal complaint and I will not let a property through King and Chasemore in the future if this is the way they treat their customers!!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Victoria C. (and someone else who I can't remember) for a property valuation, and I must say, the teams service exceeded all expectations. From the moment we began the process, Victoria demonstrated exceptional professionalism, attention to detail, and an impressive depth of knowledge about the property market.

TrustpilotCowboy outfit
Cowboy outfit. Found a property we liked, and was bidding against another buyer. They asked for best and final offers, which was fine. We were told we won the bidding process, but because it was so close, they re-opened the bidding, we then increased our offer again and one the second round. All fine, but annoyed with the re-opening of the bidding, within a day we gave all the info/id for background checks, instructed a solicitor and surveyor and applied for a mortgage. Then a week later the called to say that they were now offering the house to the other party (They were agents acting for their corporate team, so effectively agents and vendor)

GoogleWould not recommend this agency. They over evaluated property. 6 months sole agency and only had 2 viewings in that timeframe. Not very good estate agents; However, the mortgage broker was helpful and informative.

TrustpilotNever Again
Absolutely unprofessional services (from a homeowner point of view). Lack of responding to messages (some of which were urgent in my opinion), vague communication with answering questions, and money being taken before things are even completed. This company was great 25 yrs ago but things have definitely changed. Such a shame that they are able to get away with such criminal behavior.

GoogleI used King and Chasemore to sell my Chichester property. They (Keith in particular) were very active to find a buyer. They handled all the appointments and kept me advised at all times. They had great communication with me at all times. They successfully sold my property and were competitive with their fee. I would recommend them without hesitation for selling a property.
