From start they were unprofessional, arriving late to the viewing and I should have passed this agent based on this alone. The bathroom door lock was broken and unsafe as it could fall on my little ones but it took 4 months to get fixed which is unacceptable. Fridge was not working properly... Read Full Review

Underwoods Town & County have been absolutely fantastic the whole way through my rental experience. Naomi Stokes has been extremely helpful through the 18 months of renting, she has always been polite and professional, and is a credit to Underwoods. I have also dealt with Helen Brock &...

The property has rising damp which I informend the agency over a year ago and the main person they use to fix/mend properties is unprofessional and unreliable. So just hope nothing needs any work in your property. The only reason I would use this agent again is that they seem to have a almost a... Read Full Review

Terrible service from day one. I don't know why I didn't see it as a sign. On viewing the property I waited 45 mins after the arranged time for someone to show me round, nobody appeared so when I called I was told that someone had come and I was not there. I had been sat outside the house for the ... Read Full Review

Some years ago I rented a property for myself with Underwoods and found them a really nice company to deal with as they were always polite and helpful. Therefore, some years after this, when I was in a position of being a landlord myself, I immediately went to Underwoods to manage my property for... Read Full Review

Underwoods Town and County are such a wonderful agent to rent with. People I know who are tenants with other agents always seem to have problems but I happily tell them what a pleasure it is to rent from Underwoods. I have rented from them for 7 years now and wouldn't rent from anyone else. A... Read Full Review

Overall I am disappointed with the service from Underwoods. When I have telephoned the office the member of staff who answered was very unhelpful and impolite. I felt she really had no interest in handling my query at all. We notified them a week ago now about our broken boiler, and having called... Read Full Review

When searching for a property, I didn't really think about which estate agent to go with, as presumed all would provide a similar level of service...

I rented a property in the County Chambers building for 2 years.

I reported this straight away, but still had to wait 5... Read Full Review

Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.
