Extremely disappointing service and business practice. after agreeing verbally on a property let, accepting an offer and taking a week rent as deposit the agents kept viewings in the property and presented another offer to the landlord. in a later stage refused even to submit another offer to beat the asking price. I am deeply disappointed in this letting agency and will not be using their services again. I have never had to deal with such rude and quite frankly, immoral values from a business before. I would give 0 stars because they do not even deserve 1 after the way me and my family have been treated.

I recently rent an apartment and I needed some post support. Ashleigh M is the property manager for my place and she has always been helpful for anything I asked. It's a pleasure to work with her. I wanted to thank her from here.

William Richardson of John D Wood provided a fantastic service in finding me tenants for my flat in Chelsea. He was personable, polite, agreeable and presented great quality tenants within a few days of being instructed. Highly recommended.

I used John D Wood for the first time. I have been renting my property for 10+ years. I was considering one of the online agents to reduce costs. However, Will Richardson convinced me in a gentle, not a hard sell approach. I was assigned Louna on his team who was exemplary from start to finish. Everything WIll committed to was delivered and more. Not only was Louna Del Barrio in constant communication and so passionate about finding me the best tenant but also her style and ability to wait for me to come to decisions about lowering prices (vs pushing me). Plus her guidance was spot on as we secured the higher price by following her strategy around pricing to get viewings and then securing multiple offers. It was the best experience I've ever had with an estate agent. Helpful, customer centric and nothing like the stereotypical hard sell. Instead it was consultative and secured a great outcome.

Selling/Buying a home is always a very stressful experience but from start to finish, our sale was relatively smooth, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend John D Wood, Lymington. Our buyer was particularly difficult to deal with but in true professional spirit, everyone in the Lymington office did their very best to get the sale over the line. Thank you to Adam, Kevin, Amanda & Ollie, you were encouraging & positive throughout! All the best to you all.

The service offered by the Property Management team is shocking. Myself and a friend rented a two bedroom property from John D Wood. We have now been in the property for over 4 months and are yet to be provided with 2 sets of functioning keys. Despite the gravity of the issue, John D Wood have not been proactive in trying to find a solution for this. The Property Management staff are unprofessional, rude and generally incompetent, especially Alessandro Lucatello and Adam Michael. John D Wood and the respective Landlord consistently denied any responsibility for the situation making it difficult, time consuming and stressful to resolve. If you do decide to rent with John D Wood, make sure you have a break clause included in your contract. Having said that, Katherine Garces is excellent, very responsive and was a real pleasure to engage with. I would not want my negative review of the Property Management team to reflect poorly on her!

All good but Samantha Rogers, who is very unprofessional and rude. Be careful with her that she has your keys and she would assess your properties without your permission, in other words, she would trespass your properties.

This is for Sardar Berzo. He is an asset to JDW and has been so impressive and client centric. He has gone above and beyond in every instance. Particularly, I was out of London for couple of weeks and he kindly went to my flat to water my plants. It’s a pleasure interacting with him.

Very professional and efficient estate agents. Service has been excellent throughout my search, and Georgie in particular has been a great help in finding and securing my dream home. I would highly recommend Georgie and the wider J D Wood South Kensington team if you are looking to sell/buy a property.

Peter assisted us in finding our home. He was fair and we felt he genuinely had both the vendor & buyers interests at heart. He was efficient, pragmatic, honest and very calm in the emotional circumstances that house buying generally is - for both sides. Thank you Peter - we are thankful for your professionalism!

We had to find a let in a very short space of time as our builders wanted to start 2 weeks early. Emily was our contact at John D Wood and she was exceptional. Once we had found a suitable place she worked efficiently and tirelessly to get us in. Turn around was about a week, and despite a fair amount of paper work and checks we were able to move in before renovation on our house began. I would highly recommend John D Wood if you are looking for a short let. All the staff were extremely helpful.

From the initial valuation of my house through to completion, the whole team have been so pleasant and professional to deal with. They made me feel confident that they would provide a great service and that is exactly what they did. They were always approachable and I felt that I was able to contact them about any minor query I might have. They made the sale of my house a slick process and stress free. They were spot on with the valuation and I had full asking price offered within 8 days. I highly recommend John D Wood, and would not hesitate to use them again for a sale of my property.

I have had really good customer service from the team at John D Wood, especially Sardar and Camilla. Sardar swiftly arranged a viewing for me and he and Camilla were fantastic pushing things through so I could have a move in date within a week. Exceptional, especially with the move in date being 2 days before Christmas. Highly recommended!

Had a great experience dealing with Will from the Notting Hill office when renting out our flat. He's extremely professional and organised and was always keeping us in the loop every step along the way. We'd dealt with other agents before who we had to constantly chase for information but Will was always really proactive and would give us constant updates to put our minds at rest. And most importantly we were able to achieve above our asking price swiftly and without hassle. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to rent out their property.
