Do not go with this agent if you value your neighbours. I have the gross misfortune of owning a house next door to one of the properties they manage. I came home from a day at work to find an enormous amount of garden debris ...

From the outset, Kyle, David and Marcus were fantastic professionals and respectful of the way in which we wished to approach the market.

Renting from Austin & Wyatt, Bournemouth, was the WORST thing we ever did. They are rude, arrogant, unfriendly, uncaring & show absolutely no respect for renting tenants. We had an absolute nightmare dealing with them & would NEVER recommend them to anyone. They are bullies....

From June to September 2018 I had 4 to 6 viewings. Feedback on those viewings was rare as was any general feedback.
To add insult to injury, they admitted their performance was poor but still held me to 2 weeks notice unless I took them as joint agents. One ...

I found Richard and colleagues hugely helpful and supportive at all stages of the process of selling my late father's house.
I am sure his positive enthusiasm assisted the sale which occurred within ten viewings.
Everyone i spoke to was kind and helpful...

Zero points. Countrywide is the power behind a number of High Street "names". This review is for AUSTIN WYATT in Amesbury Wilts. Countrywide took over what was a small local letting agent, and that is when the service went into freefall. Countrywide/Austin Wyatt service ...
