At first Ashton Burkinshaw was a good company to deal with. As new tenants they they were helpful and friendly and the team offered guidance. Fast forward a few years and the level of service has dropped - whether this is connected to Countrywide or not I do not know. Unfortunately, it no longer feels like you are dealing with a friendly, local office and instead you are up against a large, faceless corporation where 'towing the Company line' is more important than good customer service (unless that is, you are a customer that is (or will be) making them money). There was a time when I would have recommended Ashton Burkinshaw in Maidstone to anyone, but sadly now I would tell them to shop around, with the suggestion that they use a different agent - preferably one with a 'face'.

Being the ‘said' tenant above, I can assure you we approached AB regarding our very well behaved family cat, who spent most of his time outdoors, prior to accepting the tenancy. We were left hanging and could get no answers. Referencing took over a month, no idea why, we are excellent tenants and only chose to rent due to work commitments, locations, having been a landlord myself in the past am fully aware of all legislation and how to conduct myself, I treat any property as I would my own, wi ...
