My property was fully managed with countrywide, The estate agents said on the first initial meeting on what they can do for you which seemed great, So before Tennant moved in I had there own contractor come to check the gas and electric so I could have a certificate the electrics failed and needed a whole new board and as the tenant was moving in the following week I felt I was pushed into having there contractor as he would do it quick, which I paid a lot more money for, They take there fees every month but do nothing for you, I said after about 6 months I wanted to know how my house was doing regarding a house inspection, They said they had e mailed which they never did, They said I needed a new boiler and gave me a quote for there contractor and and I would have to pay upfront, I then started to see how much it was costing me being under contract with countrywide I arranged all the quotes myself and got the most reasonable one, they charge the landlord as well as the same Tenant for renewing with themselves, I have now terminated my contract with countrywide which took me 3 months to get out of but it is definitely worth it,My tenant is reliable and trustworthy so I manage it myself now.
