Convicted murderer from a notorious Liverpool gang shooter family, drug mule, bully XL breeder, friends of murderer. These are the people the horrid incompetents at Entwistle Green (subsidiary of countrywide) put into my home. I made the mistake of trusting entwistle green with renting and “full management” of my home whilst I was away. The first tenant “passed all referencing checks”. It was a young female. She paid rent late (more than 2 weeks late most times) 90% of the time. She did not pay the last two months rent. I had to evict her through the courts before she left. She caused thousands of pounds of damage. Entwistle had ZERO interest in helping when things were getting difficult, instead delegating all the chasing and court navigation back to me, as well as giving seriously bad and damaging advice when pressed. Turns out this tenant was the girlfriend of a convicted murderer, who when he went to jail, she stopped paying rent. The agent admitted they would come in to pay cash. One of the workers, who’s name is incredibly old fashioned and common admitted “6 months of rent up front” was enough to pass referencing. I was shocked to hear this. The agent and countrywide refused to give me ID or any information at all stating “GDPR”. Countrywide’s dats officer was arrogant and uncaring of my need to take the rogue tenant to court and wilfully obstructive using GDPR as an excuse to hold onto the information I instructed him to obtain. I had to hire a private investigator before starting proceedings. The subsequent tenant brought to my attention later that there were constant police raids at the house and the tenant replaced the front door with a “rock door” as the police broke my door down. None of this was run past me. Entwistle acted like the tenant did me a favour. The subsequent tenant also “passed referencing”. Soon after, she moved her boyfriend in, who never admitted who he was not came on the official documentation. Looked like another mule but I was trapped. When I arrived at the house it was wrecked. The back garden was torn up by the dogs. Boards everywhere. Dog poo everywhere. Everything chewed inside and out. The door handle had been broken off the garage door and the hole taped up. The automatic opening function was destroyed. There was no access. Clearly they were dealing from the garage. Neighbours were afraid and told me he was also a bully XL breeder. Entwistle refused to change the contract to incorporate penalties so I couldn’t recover losses anyway. The manager and her staff were incredibly rude. They told me to put their address on the court documents. Everyone knows that doing that would result in a failed court summons and all associated pain. They never answer their phone. They don’t do anything you ask. They pass you to countrywide their umbrella company, at every opportunity, who defend the tenants. At one point they admitted the had a forwarding address then when I kept asking for it they kept stating GDPR then finally “we don’t have a forwarding address”. Eventually I got so fed up and concerned I sold my home which I’ve had for 10 years. I took a huge loss on that. They of course, claimed ignorance about the calibre of people they were putting in, but they’re not idiots. They met these people. They took the cash. The gangster was infamous. They just didn’t care or at worst, complicit. My formal complaints were met with contempt and incompetence, blaming me for the issues. They gaslighted me trying to say it was my fault. Even though I had £100 a month insurance covering the entire house, entwistle had no interest in using them, instead hounding me to do their job for them. I had to fight with them to do their job. They tried to undersell my property and tell me it was worth less than it was, despite the rental market being strong at the time. I made several formal complaints with more detail and events which I could record here, but this review would end up several more pages long and if you have read this far, you get the idea how bad they are.
Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.

Unfortunately I purchased a property through this Branch so I had no choice but to deal with them. However, if a property became available through them again, I would avoid the sale. They are very forceful in their approach, and their forms of communication are quite threatening and... Read Full Review

Having had two valuations I opted to use another agent - how wrong was I. Gemma from Entwhistles was honest enthusiastic and true to her word. She sold my property albeit other units available at the same location for less asking price. Since selling my property I have spoken to other owners... Read Full Review
The fees are what they are, other agents came in slightly cheaper, but did not have the interest to sell my flat. Entwistles pulled out all the stops and sold it, I retained the original estate agent who hardly sent any viewings to the flat - possibly two in three months, Entwhustles sent numerous.

We have had our house up for sale with Entwistle Green now for almost four months. In that time we have had 3 viewings - two of which, were utter time wasters. They do not let anyone view your house who does not already have a mortgage in place - and if they don't, they try and push them... Read Full Review

Avoid. Really just what all the other negative reviews say. Positively abusive at times. I was a buyer who eventually withdrew because of a negative Surveyors Report (obviously that's not the EAs fault) but prior to that I was thinking of withdrawing because of their attitude. Not something you... Read Full Review

If there was a zero I would use it. Poor communication once they received your signature on the contract. So many hidden fees that I'm not even sure they can back up seeing as 2 people in the same complex paid different amounts for fees that were spring in them and some even dropped when...

Awful. So many hidden fees. Told there was no initial charges yet the first months rent all went to them for "advertising fees" then there was renewal fees and a cease of contract fee which is nowhere to be seen or discussed initially. Also promised a floor plan on the initial advert which never materialised so even fees they collected for specific tasks that weren't done! They were also keen to lower the price of the rent within 3 days of it going on the market due to "limited interest"

Awful. Went to visit a property to rent.

They secured very little viewing with minimal feedback, they lost the keys I had cut for them and continually palmed me off with very port excuses.

Fees are extortionate, especially when served with a side order of abuse.

On viewing the flat, EG's viewing agent told us the fees would be £40+VAT per person along with deposit etc. They eventually charged me over £300 per person in non-refundable fees, including a fee for an inventory which didn't exist.
