Beware of using Countrywide letting agents, they have so too many offices doing different tasks i.e Austin & Wyatt Southsea find the tenant, Mann & co do the maintenance, statements are sent from Mansfield and Legal Dept is just another office in Nottingham, Southsea branch do not explain how the Co operate so beware, read all their forms before you sign any agreement with Countrywide.
They are so expensive they take monies from clients for things I never heard of i.e top up reserve £100.00 to £200.00 just held by them in case repairs are needed, another charge is monthly deposit scheme due about £2.00 p.m their inventory check out costs landlord £110.00 + v.a.t Inventory make/update£115.00 +v.a.t. and many more fees they will charge .
Out of my first monthly rent of £600.00 I ended up OWING Austin & Wyatt £37.00, so beware as to what you are signing up to. Their sales technique is good so do query each item before you sign a agreement with Austin & Wyatt.
Disappointed client living overseas.
