Would personally avoid Countrywide as well.


Rented from them a few years ago. "Modern" new development at Whitehill Place in Dennistoun.

The flat was a joke but I was really limited in time so had to take it.

Was £750/month for a flat that was furnished with just 2 bed frames and the cheapest ikea couch you can get.

From when we moved in a February the heating just didn't work. Boiler sometimes gave hot water if we were lucky.

​

Lost track of the amount of visits we had from engineers and it got so bad that when winter came again the flat was getting so cold and damp that mould was starting to grow inside it.

​

Despite weekly emails and calls to them they did nothing and the boiler wasn't replaced until January by which point we had given our notice.

​

They claimed they had trouble with the landlord getting permission. I checked the landlord register and there wasn't even one registered and when this was questioned I was given the address for a empty building in the Merchant City.

​

Then when we moved out they tried to do me out my deposit claiming for things that weren't even present on the inventory when we moved in, they even tried to say I had stolen a tumble dryer that belonged to me.

Had to take them to the deposit tribunal and even then they somehow still were allowed to keep some of my money.
