Please be aware that Spencers Countrywide Leicester cannot be held liable for advertising and renting a property which has major problems .We were put into a property with a boundary wall that had broken down , black mould throughout, raw sewerage flowing out the back garden , overgrown garden , leaking roof , infestation of subterranean termites , electrical lights not working , leaking shower , broken taps , and filthy from previous tenants . After two years and £830 in court fees Judge Atkinson has today ruled that they were entitled to do so and that there is nothing wrong with them advertising the property on their website without checking it -although they had been managing it for 3 1/5 years . Apparently this is fine and Ms Chloe Simpson their Senior Property Negotiator has denied any wrong doing in advising us that the house was" lovely". Judge Atkinson explained that this was mere "puffing" . We ought to have been more aware but we were under pressure to find a home and we went on the website and had a 20 minute viewing with the previous tenant . Apparently that was out fault. We spent three dreadful months at the property .We have been fined £400 for daring to challenge Countrywide . They are the ultimate mafia and protected by the courts. Judge Atkinson has said that as the previous tenant did not complain the fact that the wall had fallen down etc etc was fine . They were well within their rights to re let the property without advising the new tenants. We lived on a building site , project managed and paid for the electricity to rebuild the wall . Judge Atkinson said that is fine again. No problem . So be warned . Do not rent from Countrywide - the house is on the market but since it is infested with termites one wonders if Country wide will advise the prospective purchasers -any guesses and of course they cannot be held liable. I wish I had read the reviews. As one of them said . You have been warned .
