Countrywide Conveyancing Services - Lawyer in Manchester

Mila

Countrywide selling a vacant house with a chain of 3 below. The rest of the chain is motivated and trying their hardest to get an exchange. Unfortunately Countrywide seem determined to stop that from happening. To top it all off today they now refuse to speak to the agent that introduced the business to them (part of the same company)and will only communicate with them by email.

Would never ever use again has been a nightmare from the start,

Then the ultimate annoyance – they sent the final invoice with a ‘cheque enclosed’ sentence, but no cheque! Took a further 4 days for it to appear. Then to rub salt in, on the detailed invoice, they’d charged for work not needed nor carried out. Needed several phone calls to get hold of someone, who then didn’t return calls that day or the next.

Jackson

Can never get hold of our actual solicitor and constantly getting fobbed off by everyone never get a straight answer.

Nathan

Their fees are the same as a local solicitor, but CW don’t give the same level of service nor attention to detail.

Thomas

Having sold, now I am buying, and was dismayed to learn my mortgage provider has asked Countrywide Surveyors to survey the purchase property – and they can’t do it for THREE WEEKS, so through no fault of my own, there is now a delay in getting my mortgage offer and affecting my house move. If a survey cant be done within a week, then it should be offered to another surveyor who can. Not happy at a delay in a supposedly stagnating market – how would they cope when it’s buoyant? Would not recommend and one star is one too many!

Levi

The estate agency recommended us to use their service and gave me a £1100 quotation at the beginning.

Tristan

Received the paperwork, found the quotation gone up to £1900.

Luca

Queried but nobody want to give me an explanation.

Gabriel

As a probate sale, despite provision of all the relevant documentation at the time of instruction, CW asked to see the original death certificate THREE DAYS before completion to satisfy other side’s lawyers. Unbelievable.

Jameson

Ask for a refund but have to chase them everyday. Refund but deducted a £60 without any explanation again.

Caden

While using Countrywide seems to be an ideal option for house sellers using specific estate agent chains, having opted to use them, there were difficulties in making contact with the solicitor who frequently failed to return calls. At least the legal assistant made up for some of the shortcomings.

Amelia

Poor services, poor communication, glad I stopped using them.

Julian

They are very quick to get in contact when they want paying though

Anthony

Was told exchange date was 8/12 it's now 3/1/18 and still not happened to be promised it to be 5/1/18 to be told today it might be it might not be how professional you never get a call back when they tell you they will the full place is a absolute joke avoid at all costs.

Savannah

I also found out that CW (as a company) acted for both buyer and seller in this transaction, though different teams, which I was not advised of beforehand, and take the view that it is bordering on the unethical. Even being in the same location doesn’t seem to make the speed of the transaction any quicker.

Emily

If I can give zero I will do it.
