I honestly can’t thank the team at JW Wood enough for the service I received.
I initially contacted Barbara Smith after seeing a property advertised and, despite the very short notice, she managed to arrange a viewing for me within an hour of the property going live, with the viewing taking place that same afternoon.
Martyn Hunter met us at the property and was brilliant. I decided to put an offer in and, incredibly, within another couple of hours the offer had been accepted by the vendor.
Elizabeth Taylor then took care of all the paperwork and documentation, and by the following day I had everything sent through to my inbox.
The whole process was unbelievably quick and straightforward, and everyone I dealt with was friendly, helpful and extremely efficient. You really don’t expect things to move that quickly when buying a property!
A massive thank you to Barbara, Martyn, Elizabeth and the whole team at JW Wood. You made the whole experience so easy and stress-free, and I really appreciate the effort you all put in.
Outstanding service from start to finish. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend JW Wood. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

GoogleI am very sure that Julie is a great asset to JW Wood. From the time she picks up the phone, you can tell you’re speaking to a friendly, authoritative person. She explains situations accurately and your response is always accepted gratefully. As an elderly person, I am particularly pleased with the clarity of her voice.

GoogleThe thought of moving House at the ages of 77 and 83 yrs Old we were very concerned about what lay ahead.
We decided to use JW Wood estate agents in Consett as we had used them just over 20 years ago to move into the House we were now having to sell due to ill health.
All the staff were very friendly but at the same time professional and guided us through everything along the way.
Daily update by E Mail and telephone assured us the sale was in good ex experienced hands.
Within 5 Days we had 3 viewings and a second visit from one person who actually bought Our House.
Not just because we have a sale going through but i would genuinely recommend this estate agent to Market your Property.

★★★★★ 4/5
GoogleI was dreading having to sell a relatives property. Partly because the last time I moved home myself, it was stressful enough, but mainly because I wasn't in the area of the property.
When we walked into JW Wood in Consett as our first step, we were welcomed by Denise Peace. Great start and we never got to a second Estate Agent. She settled our apprehension and as we wouldn't be back in the area for another week, she managed to arrange a valuation for that very afternoon, having taken all of the necessary details.
We met Joe Bennison later that day. His knowledge and experience belies his youthful appearance and was full of energy.
His advice turned out to be great. We'd never thought of using an Auction rather than the open market, but in our situation it was the correct choice. We almost reached the open market valuation.
6 weeks from start to finish. The support from the rest of the team at Consett was there whenever we needed it and Agent Property Auction were very slick too.
Thanks to everyone involved. :)

It sounds like Denise and Joe really took the pressure off what could have been a difficult situation, and we're so glad the auction route worked out well for you. Six weeks from start to finish is brilliant, especially when you weren't local to the property. We really appreciate you trusting us with it.
