The worst agency ever. They never Reply to your emailsOr when they do it is simply too late. They never keep you updated on anything and they are completely incompetent. Getting things fixed with them is simply an impossible task and you have to survive on your own in your flat. What they care about is monthly fees and nothing else.

Do not expect to get your deposit back. Check and see who the owner is on tenancy. If its a Mr or Mrs McAllister then im afraid you have been scammed. They own the letting agency so theres a conflict of interest there imo. They have a 100% dispute record for the deposit scheme as far as I can tell through my investigations. Meaning no matter how good you leave the property they will raise a dispute in the hope you do not understand the complicated deposit dispute scheme process. They will then f ...

Countrywide seems to have a corporate culture of misleading and mistreating tenants (and, from what I hear, landlords as well). They never responded to my written requests to do anything (repairs, initial cleaning, etc.) What's worse, they sometimes respond positively by phone (never in writing) ...
