We lived 3 hours away and it was a fantastic experience dealing with Tom from Country Homles. Over the last 6 years + there was not one day void or late payment, excellent tenants. I could always get hold of Tom or his colleagues, he sorted all issues, for example the gas safety, maintenance and repairs etc without any fuss and negotiated with the trades people on our behalf, included in his competitive rates. Nothing was too much trouble. If you are thinking of renting a property out, just use Tom.
