Worst agents ever. Avoid them at all costs if you can. They've been absolutely unprofessional when it came to my flatmate and I signing our tenancy agreement. They have lied to me about them contacting my guarantor for their details, even though my guarantor had assured me they had given the ... Read Full Review

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. Atleast I got a viewing ... Read Full Review

We moved in on the 6th of March, since that point we have had no hot water or heating. It is currently the 16th and so we have went 10 days without a resolution. We have not been provided with any regular updates, I have raised 2 tickets and have not been contacted once, and we are no closer to ... Read Full Review
no idea not a landlord, but given the state of the apartment (bits falling off all over the place) the monthly rent is very high.

On this street there are about 10 different agencies. Now, I am no econony expert, but I would naively expect that with such high competition the customer service would be stellat. Err, no... far from it. Sure we entered as tenants needing to renew the contract so I do understand that on the ... Read Full Review

Appalling company to deal with. I have just moved my properties to another agent and I am so relieved - dealing with Countrywide has been incredibly stressful. I have complained many times over the years, but nothing has ever really changed. They have no interest in doing a good job for the ... Read Full Review

Those people decided to keep 1000 pounds deposit for no reason whatsoever. They did not provide any evidence or any receipt. On the phone they told me that the cleaning was 100-150 pounds roughly (the house was in perfect order when we left it) and they kept the rest for other expenses about which ... Read Full Review

I had an extremely positive experience with Countrywide Byres Rd. right from the valuation where Gavin made sure my questions were answered and he made sure he brought up things I hadn't even thought of! As a first sale for me I was very worried I would miss an important question. I was passed on ... Read Full Review
Pretty standard to the agents I had out to give valuation. Although they included the cost of them completing the viewings within the fee which made my life easier.

Couldn't habe been worse. Just when I thought they couldn't get anything else wrong, they messed up again. I also think it might be their policy to ignore irate customers because every time I had an issue, it was near impossible to get a hold of some one. A truly terrible estate agent, use at your ...
