Appalling landlords management. Ive had to take them to court
Absolutely awful. Firstly when I rented the place they didn't do a proper inventory, a 5 year old could have done the job they did, they listed just whatever was in the flat. Didn't safety check anything, the hoover literally set alight when used. Luckily only inside and didn't set the flat alight.Then when I left, they withheld the deposit, claimed they hadn't heard from the Landlord despite the fact that it is in the report he submitted evidence, or at the very least they submitted a reason why he was keeping the deposit without his contribution, which is many kinds of wrong. They disputed that a TV and Hoover was missing, both were in the flat.They were also so incompetent, that they claimed I broke the window, then submitted the report from the company that fixed it, stating that the window wasn't broke through negligence or misuse.Absolutely, god awful, please please please, never use this company. I am so glad they never got a penny after I left as I was awarded the whole deposit back despite the fact they lied in their dispute, because they were so incompetent at lying in the dispute. But it has taken 4 months to get here as they refused to cooperate.
I be careful if you over pay to Clive Watkins, if you cancel with them you never get your money back, why won't Countrywide make Clive Watkin give me my money back? So poor on standards, all the awards but cannot pay tenants back.
I would give this company zero stars if it allowed me to. They are dishonest, deceitful, sneaky and make up policy as they go along. I am a landlord and cannot advise people strongly enough to seriously consider using alternative agents. Even if I had a shed to rent I would not give it to this bunch of con artists. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
God awful company who have been skirting responsibility since day one. Broken toilets and water coming through walls take 2 months to fix. My landlord ended up switching estate agents it got so bad! Have a clause that they can keep your deposit if you don't write to them to formally request it back within 28 days. 16 days after I locked the door I am still without a deposit. Told me it's not worth making a complaint to official bodies. Looks like I'll have to take my landlord to court for it at this rate even though they have nothing wrong.
