TrustpilotJDW LETTINGS DEPT HIGH ST WIMBLEDON - AVOID
The head of lettings in Wimbledon High Street cold-called me for months promising me she had corporate clients for my property, this was an untruth. From October to December, she tried to coerce me into dropping the price, advising me the 'market was particularly quiet' (old gem used by agents trying to scaremonger you into submission' I made two formal written complaints about this lady AC, and they were to respond to as per JDW's website statements. AC then tried to force me to accept two out of four tenants whose references were sketchy (one has only joined his company and the other was a Temp). AC then tried to coerce me into accepting tenants and rush through a gas safety cert which the company JDW recommended failed on my property (this later proved to be a false failed GSC). Out of the blue, I was asked to make my complaint to AC who responded to a complaint about herself!!!!! She then sent me an invoice for the rent for four tenants who have never entered the property and had failed references that were turned down. AC is. a bully whose sharp practice is supported by Ms Haskins another employee who is trying to coerce money from me on false pretences. I am outing this company.
Normally I would respond.. however it did not end there, AC’s dept head from JDW HQ then started to bully me demanding I pay them one years rent even though no transaction or tenant was supplied ( due to FAKE references). The bullied me to the point of a breakdown!
This company knowingly lied to me- tried to brush over trying to take 12 mo the fees and simply kept badgering me up to recently.

TrustpilotReally bad when it comes to services
Really bad when it comes to services. My deposit is stuck with them for more than 2 months. Always some lame excuse for not paying back.
There is an property manager named Moesha, who will never address any query but will just be harsh
I hope to give below 1 star but that the least i can go.

J D Wood did a fantatic job helping us sell our flat in Wimbledon Park. We faced a few hurdles that were unexpected but Chris and Lewis got things on track and got the sale through when we had given up. I would thouroughly reccomend them if you are considering selling a property.

TrustpilotChiswick Lettings Team
Laura and her team in the Chiswick Rental offices went the extra mile in advising us on every aspect of finding a new tenant for our property including help with plumbers, decorators and removals and most importantly in finding us a good selection of prospective new tenants to choose from. A very hands on operation with excellent customer service and support.

TrustpilotRadyah Sultana, so rude and unprofessional
Radyah Sultana at Docklands & City office, who is in charge of the paperwork, was so rude, unprofessional, dishonest and impatient. I have received passive-aggressive threats from her and had a really bad experience.We worked smoothly with Egle and David, and paid the deposit very early.However, the contract was ready only 3 days before moving in, even though all the reference checks were ready two weeks ago!I understand that Radyah was sick for a few days, but I am unhappy that she made an excuse and LIED that the reference checks were just done yesterday. Now because of her inefficiency, I have to be efficient.Well, I am a customer, and she is the god.

Horrible experience with this agency. I am currently living in a 3 bed flat in Fulham where one of the bedroom ceiling has collapsed and for last 2 months the agency has been slow, practically unresponsive and simply rude. They treat tenants with such disdain it’s shocking. Do not use this company

TrustpilotAVOID JDW AT ALL COSTS
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not subject yourself to the JDW Weybridge office if you can avoid it - they have provided easily the worst service we have ever experienced. We have been renting for 3 months in a JDW managed house. There are multiple material ongoing issues from a leaking roof to broken heating and the agent does not do anything about - for months. We have a 1 year old child who is suffering constant sickness now. They have lied to us about repair parts being ordered and have not held the landlord accountable for fixing anything. Jazz Dillon is of particular incompetence. She has promised us a call with senior management and of course, radio silence.

TrustpilotSelling with JDW Summertown
We highly recommend prospective sellers to consider JDW in Summertown. Our experience has been first class and the JDW service was highly professional right from the start - realistic estimate of house value, knowledge of the local market and how to maximise our sale price and managing our anxieties and expectations throughout the whole lengthy process to completion. The team were always professional, responsive and friendly and definitely worked hard to help us achieve our sale. They managed everything - EPC, flattering professional photographs included as part of the service, all the very many viewings, right through to chasing solicitors and other parties all along the chain to achieve completion. If you are considering selling your home, then do consider calling Daniel or Wai at JDW.

Claire Carter (based at the Weybridge branch) handled my purchase from start to finish and was exceedingly efficient. I was on a very tight timeline yet she saw no reason as to why we could not complete on time and she held true to her word. She chased deadlines when needs be and kept me informed immediately of any requests for information or any news.I never had to chase her for an answer to any question I had and I hugely appreciated her transparency throughout the process. I cannot recommend her and the agency enough.

Becca is a star.I have recently rented a flat in London via JDW team. Bec has showed us the flat and answered all my detailed questions in every step with very detailed answers. She handled all our concerns during the conveyancing process with delicacy. She always came up with the best solutions to the problems and pleased both parties until the day we signed. Thank you Bec for such a smooth process.

GoogleGavin Fleming is a first class real estate broker. The deal would not have happened without him. He proactively managed and settled protracted issues raised by both sets of lawyers, the seller, the buyer, the managing agents, and yet everyone ended up happy, and the deal concluded to everyone’s satisfaction.
CHK Mountford stand out as honest, effective and responsive rental agents. Adam set the standard 30 plus years ago when he started Mountford’s and has continued to set the pace for other agencies to follow.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value
