The investment property we are in the process of purchasing was marketed by Millers, and Countrywide emailed us an offer to manage the property at a discounted rate straightaway, even before our offer had been accepted. This might sound fantastically efficient, but, for various reasons, they just didn't seem to be as well set up to handle student tenants as other lettings agents we'd been speaking to and we didn't bother to pursue their offer. Instead, we asked the people at Millers to arrange access so that one of those other agents could assess whether they would be willing to take on the property. The vendor was reluctant to allow any lettings agents in just yet, however; he still has some personal belongings he needs to remove from a couple of the rooms. That's perfectly understandable, I think, and the behaviour that really shocked me was that, within 24 hours of Millers saying that they couldn't arrange access for our agent of choice, the Countrywide people emailed to say that, thanks to their connection with the vendor's estate agent, they wouldn't need the vendor's expressed permission in order to enter and appraise the property. Countrywide might argue that I am being oversensitive about this, but this isn't the sort of thing I would expect a truly honest professional to propose. I mean, either their service is sufficiently competitive that clients are likely to go with them even if they've had an oportunity to gather several quotations or it isn't, and what about the poor vendor who is already their client? Doesn't he deserve to have his wishes respected too?

Good Morning,
I would like to bring to your attention that absolutely horrific way that I have been treated by your Plymouth branch on Mutley Plain. I pay for a fully managed service with yourselves and I have nothing but trouble with yourselves and since ...

I cannot recommend Miller Countrywide in Mutley Plymouth highly enough. At the start of our search for a property in Plymouth we registered with numerous agents and details of properties started to flow through quite quickly. However, what set Millers apart was the fact that ...

This was my first experience of using a letting agent. Because Miller Countrywide are a well known name, I decided to let my apartment through them. Big mistake. Lots of chat, but very little action. They did not manage the property very well or, as ...

What agent could do to change your mind?
They could have done their job better in all aspects. The Tenancy Agreement clearly stated that periodic checks were to be carried out. If they had done this, then they would have realised how badly the apartment was being cared for. They need to be more responsive to landlord's requests for information. Being rude and dismissive on the phone is not the correct way to behave.Attached Filesnbsp;

It was my great misfortune to rent a property through Miller Country Wide Lettings. Inept and rude staff, the manager being the worse offender! Our landlord was of the same view and has since discontinued using Miller ...
