Google⭐☆☆☆☆ My experience with JW Woods Estate Agents has been extremely disappointing. I raised serious concerns about the property, including damage that was already present before I moved in, issues with the electricity and gas accounts being in debt, and ongoing problems with an inconsiderate and disruptive neighbour. I provided evidence, including photographs showing the condition of the property before I moved in, but I felt my concerns were not properly listened to or taken seriously. The response I received from the estate agents was extremely disappointing and left me feeling that my situation had not been handled with the professionalism, fairness, and care I expected. I was also concerned that my communications did not receive a response until I followed up, and I was left with the impression that my concerns were not being treated seriously. During my tenancy, I experienced behaviour from the landlord that I found deeply upsetting, including comments that I felt mocked my disabilities, my religious practices, and my use of phrases such as “wallahi”. I found this disrespectful and distressing. I also want to add that this estate agent appears to have a staff member who has made deeply offensive comments on LinkedIn about an Egyptian man and his Muslim beliefs. I am also concerned about the staff member’s association with a company director who has allegedly made repeated racist comments about Islam. I believe this behaviour raises serious questions about the standards and values of the people representing this business, and I hope the matter is properly investigated. A tenant should feel safe, respected, and supported in their own home. Unfortunately, my experience left me feeling intimidated, dismissed, and without confidence that my concerns were being handled appropriately. Based on my experience, I would not recommend JW Woods Estate Agents.
We can see this relates to a property handled by our lettings team rather than this branch, we've flagged this with Google for correction. We're also in direct contact with you regarding the concerns raised.

GoogleThe service from the initial contact with Claire was excellent who explained the different options of the inspection process. The surveyor report was thorough, clear and easy to read. The surveyor identified some critical issues and included some clear guidance within the report. Communication via email and phone were answered quickly. The inspection happened on time with a full detailed report available within 48hours. Overall a very good service.
Thanks so much for taking the time to share this, it really means a lot to hear the process worked so smoothly from start to finish. We'll be sure to pass on your kind words to Claire and the surveying team, particularly the point about clear, actionable guidance on the report itself.

GoogleCan’t thank Julie L and the team enough for all the support with paperwork whilst purchasing our new home. We had unusual complications with ID checks , however we got there in the end. What a fantastic team who clearly communicate with each as every time I phoned everyone knew the problem and were sympathetic .The team then offered a solution and made the process easier for us as we are living 80 miles away in our holiday home. Thanks everyone I would certainly recommend you all for sale and purchase to Friends and Family in the future. Looking forward to getting in our forever home in a few months after being homeless since May due to our sale 🥂🎉😬
This feedback is gratefully received from Julie L and team in Consett. We are happy that we were able to help and navigate through the complications you came across on your property journey and look forward to being of any assistance in the future.
