Rented from Fulfords for 3 and a bit years and they are an absolute bunch of clowns.
They let in a contractor without my knowledge and basically gave him the spare key to the property which is trespassing and they didn't seem to care.
Any issues with the property they would always seem to never get back to you on so you'd get fed up with chasing and either ignore it, botch it or get a professional in at your own cost.
The landlady never spent any money in the 9 years she rented out the place and wasn't happy it wasn't in a showhome condition when she got it back. Carpets weren't changed between tenancies and we moved in with a huge burn mark in a prominent position in the bedroom and the windows were rotting away so the place was never warm. I kept the place clean and left no damage yet she still wanted to pick faults that were out of my control.
Then there's trying to get your deposit back which you'll undoubtedly fail miserably at. I'm pretty sure they tell the landlord not to respond or agree to anything so your 3 months will lapse and they then take control and give it back to them even though you worked for 2 solid days cleaning the place to a high standard.
Looking for another property was a major pain because I wasn't prepared to be shafted by Countrywide again so that ruled out 3 agents with a large portfolio in my area. Why people put their places up for rent with them is beyond me

This has to be the worst estate agent in paignton. The valuation conducted by Nicky was way to high even though I said it to her at the time but insisted it was correct. I rang the office to say potential buyers were driving by ...

This was my first time renting a property through a letting agent and the whole experience was appalling from start to finish. These people are not to be trusted at all. I paid a £2300 deposit naively believing that I would get it back as long ...

I've had the same problem with Neil from Fulfords in Paignton. I moved out a month ago and still haven't received my deposit because I didn't physically hand the keys to him in person of Friday evening. Also had problems with lack of communication from sister partnership county wide. Still tried charging me rent after I moved out! He was rude on the phone to me talking down to me like a child. Utterly disappointed with his level of service. I strongly recommend not to let with Fulfords...moving ...
