They told us the flat had been "deep cleaned" it was filthy and took one week of our own time and effort to get it into reasonable condition. This company should be ashamed of themselves. "Lazy, unprofessional, liars" would sum them up quite adequately. Do ...

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.

Worst company ever! After weeks of chasing up over the phone, Countrywide finally gave me a viewing slot for a rental property in Glasgow on a Saturday at 2.30pm. Apparently, the existing tenants were being difficult and not allowing them access to the property.
Nevermind. ...

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 ...
