We are really disappointed to read what wonderful service everyone seems to have had from Inter County BS as this was not our experience at all! The communication was dreadful, Doug the "super progressor" only contacted us once and got all the information wrong, after which we didn't hear from him again & were told he was usually good but was snowed under, not our problem! The Branch Manager took over our account but wasn't much better and eventually we were "helped" by the Area Director. When we complained we were offered a paltry amount of compensation considering the fee charged & the lack of support we received. I would say that if you are lucky you might get good service, we were obviously unlucky and ended up doing most of the sorting out & chasing ourselves! We were VERY disappointed with the service we received so in all honesty couldn't recommend them.

We appreciate the good reviews so are never dismissive of reviews like these. I understand our Sales Director is in communication with you so hope these issues can be resolved.

I have given a 2 star review not because or how Doug conducted himself but the way the company as a whole dealt with a Divorce settlement sale. would not be recommending Inter County as a go to estate agent in Bishops Stortford. the smaller firms are much more friendly and customer focused

Dear Jason - I do thank you for your honest review and pleased Doug was able to assist you. I will certainly pick up with the team at the branch as this is not the sort of feedback we normally receive so it will be looked into further. I am available at jamessutton@intercounty.co.uk if there is anything further I can help you with

A COMPLETE DISASTER IN EVERY WAY I am writing to share my experience with this estate agency, Intercounty Bishops Stortford, and it has been nothing short of disastrous. From the very beginning, the agency proved to be extremely disorganized. The staff showed no communication among themselves, leaving us constantly bombarded with irrelevant emails that had nothing to do with our tenancy. On top of that, their attitude was consistently condescending. Whenever we requested information, the responses we received carried an air of superiority. I genuinely felt that, because we are Spanish, we were treated with less respect than British clients. This behavior was not only unprofessional but also deeply offensive. The worst part came at the end of the tenancy. We left the flat in immaculate condition—spotless, tidy, and perfectly maintained. Despite this, the agency withheld a significant portion of our deposit. They claimed £446 for cleaning and an additional £110 for carpet cleaning, charges that were completely manufactured since the property was already in pristine condition. When we challenged this, their only response was to suggest we open a dispute with Mydeposit, knowing full well that this would only drag the process out and cause further frustration. To conclude, I strongly advise: DO NOT RENT FROM THIS AGENCY if you value your deposit, your time, and being treated with basic respect. Their arrogance, lack of professionalism, and dishonest practices make them an agency to avoid at all costs.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. I am devastated to hear of how your experience has left you feeling. We have been unable to locate your details from the information you have given. Please could you email me on adamlatimer@intercounty.co.uk, so we can get in touch to understand what has gone wrong. Damage deposits are the tenants money until an agreement is reached with all parties to release the funds. The mediation from MyDeposits is in place to ensure these matters are dealt with fairly & where landlords are requesting unfair amounts, they are not awarded. Please be assured we act in a professional and transparent manner at all times. If you are unable to come to an agreement with your landlord, the MyDeposits adjudication service would have been the best way to try to get your monies returned. Only the disputed amount is held whilst the dispute takes place, so the remainder would have been released, whilst the investigation was carried out. I hope to hear from you so we can try to rectify the matters you have raised. Best Wishes Adam

Very poor experience with Intercounty’s Home Move team over our deposit return. Despite paying for a professional deep clean, they tried to deduct £200 for cleaning, £100 for a tiny carpet mark, and £50 for minor wall scuffs (which are clearly fair wear and tear). We spent weeks chasing, with our deposit withheld for a full month after moving out, and no invoice ever provided for the supposed cleaning charge. Only after constant emails did they finally reduce the deductions to £50 for the carpet. Unprofessional, slow, and unnecessarily stressful. Tenants should not have to fight this hard to get their own money back.

Dear Nagarjun, Thank you for your feedback and for raising your concerns about your deposit return. We are sorry that you were left feeling disappointed with the process. We have looked into this carefully and can confirm that after your move-out on 5th August, the checkout report was issued promptly and we worked closely with both you and the landlord to resolve matters. A resolution was reached and your deposit was returned on 28th August, which is well within the regulatory timescales, although we understand that the experience still felt stressful for you. Tenancy deposits are tightly regulated, and where deductions are proposed they must be substantiated and fairly managed. We always aim to act transparently and to return funds as swiftly as possible. We regret that your experience did not feel smooth, and we truly value your feedback as it helps us to improve the service we provide to future tenants. Best wishes, Adam & The Intercounty Team

Did not do a good job with our sale. Half the viewings were FAKE. Do not use. Lednor sold our property with one viewing. They now look like have changed name to (Fine and County) are useless.

We would welcome the opportunity to discuss this with you further. Please can you contact me on adamlatimer@intercounty.co.uk or 01279 757250 so I am able to understand what has happened. Best Wishes Adam

This horrible experience came back to me as I drove past Intercounty the other day. My partner and I were looking to rent a property from them back in April this year. Natasha had seemed pleasant at first, however that changed after we questioned her actions and the money she'd happily taken wouldn't be returned to us as she didn't do her research properly. Thankfully PM Estates were able to help us out very satisfactorily and we found a property soon after. Unfortunately it was Natasha's poor understanding of lettings, her arrogance and stubbornness that meant we'd been left out of pocket and incurred other delay costs too. Hugely disappointing experience and put me off Intercounty completely.

Hi Nick, We are very sorry to hear of your experience. From reviewing the file I can see there were circumstances around the application of this tenancy which meant it could not proceed further. We operate in a clear and transparent way, with all terms being read and agreed to prior to any monies being taken from our customers. Every member of our team, including Natasha, are thoroughly trained and professional in all of their dealings with our customers, so I feel your personal feedback on Natasha is unjust. I am pleased to hear you managed to secure yourselves a new property and wish you well for the future. Best Wishes, Adam

Not happy! Had arranged a viewing with Harry several days in advance and arranged my travel from Ireland to Stansted Mountfitchet to view a property as moving to London. After landing at Stansted, at 9am, received a call to say they had accepted another offer and my 11am viewing was cancelled. Massive inconvenience and expense for something they clearly knew was likely, as the offer must have been made the day before for the landlord to review. Very disappointed and will not recommend.

Hi Shaun, I am very disappointed to read your feedback. My colleague Reece has tried to call you to discuss the matter today and will make contact when he is back in the office next week. Having reviewed the file, I can see that we first spoke about this property with you a week or so before the viewing was arranged for, but the Thursday was the earliest you could do due to other commitments. Other viewings had gone ahead as you would expect and offers made, however nothing was accepted by the landlord. The landlord then made the decision to accept the offer on Thursday morning, so we made contact to inform you that the property had been reserved at the earliest possible opportunity. I do appreciate how disappointing this would have been having travelled to the area on that day, however we were not in a position to advise differently until the Thursday morning. We wish you well with your property search and would be happy to assist you in finding an alternative property. Best Wishes Adam

Hi Lea, We are very sorry to see that you are disappointed with the service we have provided. Our lettings director Reece is trying to get hold of you to understand and help to solve any issues you are having with the property. As discussed with your Property Manager, the landlord has decided to increase the rent. We do appreciate how this effects our tenants, however market conditions do dictate the values and it is a fair increase that has been proposed. Best Wishes, Adam.

STAY AWAY They asked me to leave a 5 star review before I moved in please ignore that and PLEASE DON’T RENT FROM HERE. It’s nightmarish, lists and lists of issues that they promised to sort out in March 2024. My fridge is broken and it’s taken 2 people (the 3rd coming soon) and months of waiting to tell me it’s broken. My extractor fan is old and tiny so the bathroom ceiling is covered in mould and they painted my bathroom with paint that isn’t suited for bathrooms so it retains water thus causing more mould. Most of my windows have been broken with large cracks going down them which happened before I moved in which haven’t been sorted. Me and my partner have had countless days off to accommodate these people and yet nothing gets done. I’m currently writing this as my boiler has randomly given out. I beg you stay away
