Fantastic and professional service from Yasmin and the Rental Team. Made to feel incredibly welcome, polite, friendly, along with providing a 5 star level of service, from viewing the property to all the paperwork involved. Could not of asked for a better experience. Yasmin is a huge credit to the team and it's been a pleasure dealing with Country Property. Thank you.

Thank you to Paul & the team for an excellent experience buying our new home. Paul supported us through the purchase, from start to finish, he was very knowledgeable about the house and the area and went over and above throughout the process. We sold our house through a different agent and we did not have a good experience. Paul ensured this did not impact our purchase and made sure all parties were informed throughout. If the time ever comes to sell our new home we will we be contacting Country Property to deal with our sale and would recommend our friends do the same.

Stephen Worlock is an absolute asset to Country property. although he was acting on behalf of our vendor. He proved to be a positive driving force through our transaction. Powerful words and completely deserved, Steve is a personable friendly and honest chap. Without his experience our chain could have easily faltered. We couldn't have asked for a better service. Country Property look after this man he lives and breathes your organisation - Simply wonderful.

An amazing letting agent who will go above and beyond to make sure you get the right tenant. I recently used the Country Property 'Tenant Find' service to let my 1 bedroom house as a first time landlord. I found Country Property extremely competitive in price and they provide a 5 star service. From the initial meeting with Heather we knew they had the landlords and tenants interests in mind. Heather spent a few hours talking to us to make sure we got the right tenant and that we complied with regulations. Heather and Yasmin diligently carried out in excess of 15 viewings over 2 weekends and even with every prospective tenant wanting to let, I never felt pressured to make my mind up there and then. Heather and Yasmin are extremely knowledgable and are happy to help at any time of day. Country Property would be our number one choice in the future, we highly recommend their letting service.
