Rented a house, while sorting out a new house and flats for myself. Was the worst company i have ever dealt with, so decided that i would go to a different letting agency for my flats. Once i bought my house over a month later there was still no sign of my deposit being returned. No call is ever... Read Full Review
What agent could do to change your mind?
Had no idea about fees until i got a letter through the door.Since i paid for the boiler and the fence to be repaired. Apparently the boiler was too old to fix? I got someone who fixed it in less than an hour.

Terrible company; absolutely nobody takes ownership of a problem. They make false promises or drag their feet over things. They managed to re-let my property and the new tenant had already moved in but nobody seemed bothered about returning my deposit. Several phone calls later, I lost my temper... Read Full Review

Firstly, all Countrywide Landlords, did you know that Countrywide (or is it Bridgefords) do a deal with energy providers. When a tenant leaves your property, they switch your energy provider - getting a back-hander from the energy company as they now have your next tenants business. Currently in... Read Full Review

Customer service is more important than you realise. Be more efficient. Realise who your customer is. Realise where your money is coming from. Customer service. Stop lying. Customer service. Get the facts instead of reporting what you think. Customer service. Get a CRM and proper tenancy housing computer system. Customer service. This market is getting much bigger and you have gone from being the biggest and best to one of the worst. Oh, and did I mention that your customer service is appalling.
Comments on Agent Fees
Starting up fees are above others but as up to now, you have always found me good tenants, quickly, am happy to pay this. Everything after this is overpriced and in numerous cases down right underhand and these grind very heavily on the back of my mind. If everything after check-in were perfect, higher costs are acceptable but as everything after check-in is appalling, they are not.

Initialy they were fine, we got the flat smoothly and moved in with no problems. Then the issues started. At first they simply ignored the issues we identified on moving in, such as advertised white goods not working properly, a sink leaking, the shed being full of rubbish from previous tennants...

The actual condition of the appliences meant this property should really have been on the market for a lower rent.

I'd like to have rated them 0 stars, but was prevented from doing so. Ironically, as a direct result of dealings with them, I decided that I could do a better job and now run a lettings agency elsewhere. We had two flats with them in a new development (at the time) and they took an inordinate ... Read Full Review
