We initially thought we had found a true gem in Country Properties amongst the barren irritating hell-scape of Estate Agentry. Dave Maple in particular was superb in providing honest, friendly and accurate advice while showing us around properties and in his communication. This goodwill was however totally undone by the wider Welwyn Garden City Country Properties team when we neared the completion of the purchase of our first house. There were delayed communications and miscommunications between them, us and the seller. The worst aspect by far was the actual completion day when none of the Estate Agent team were available (although all were working that day) to ensure the successful completion and exchange of keys. We had worked incredibly hard to progress our purchase rapidly and this final - extremely stressful day was made even worse by their unavailability at this critical point and the simultaneously obtuse and incompetent actions of the 'Office Manager' Sue. Despite the vendors, both sets of Solicitors and the bank's approving the exchange - the robotic and useless Sue refused to release the keys until she had been called herself. Whilst moving our entire life's worth of furniture on a critical day, she maintained this to our extreme frustration and refused to just call them for permission herself. On arrival at the office she said 'I don't really have a clue what goes on round here' before giving us the keys anyway. Ridiculous. The manager Chris ignored us while entering the office at this point. Finally, they failed to take the sold sign down for 6 weeks despite multiple emails. Poor form at the key end stage. Clearly just the usual base sales people only really interested in money. They were totally unable/disinterested in following through.
