terrible. they will raise your rent after you submit the application form. not trustable agent!
1/5
TrustpilotAwful.
Awful. Vile buying experience when purchasing our first home. We were not treated seriously by the agent in a little Aygo. We asked for a second viewing once our offer had been accepted and she proceeded to follow us around the house making comments about fairies and pixies. An absolute joke and shocking, bitter attitude.
5/5
GoogleAfter a bad experience with 2 previous estate agents, I decided to use JW Wood. Very pleased with the service that they provided, they far excelled the other agents I had used. Very professional and kept me informed throughout the whole process. I will use them again in the future and would recommend them to anyone selling their home if they would like to use a competent estate agent. Samantha went above and beyond, chasing up the many issues from lower down the chain. Very friendly and professional.PositiveProfessionalism
Third time lucky!? Many thanks for the great review and we are delighted that Sam was able to help restore your faith in estate agents (we aren't all bad).
5/5
GoogleBought a house through JW Wood and they were super helpful throughout the entire process. Unfortunately our sale took a good amount of time (22 weeks for a vacant property with no chain involved!) but that was due to delays beyond the agents control. Throughout the entire process and out of all the people we dealt with, I had upmost trust in Kelly, who was our case manager, and Olivia who always seemed to answer the phone when I called in. Both were super very friendly and keen to help. They supported me with advice on how to chase things up with the solicitors and we are really happy with JW Woods service.
Thanks for your review and your kind comments for Kelly and Olivia they really appreciate it. Please stay safe.
5/5
GoogleFantastic service from start to finish. I enquired about a property for sale and was contacted by Liam the following day with a viewing arranged later that week. Julie showed me around the property in a friendly manner and took time to answer any questions I had. I decided to put in an offer for the property and communication has been brilliant and very easy to understand ever since. Special thanks to Sandrine for the many emails to and from and explanation of what we needed to submit for paperwork. Being a first time buyer the process can be quite daunting and slightly stressful so the responsive and helpful nature of JW Wood has made life a lot easier. I would 100% recommend the company and thank you again for your assistance with our house purchase to date.PositiveResponsiveness
Hi Laura, our team at Darlington were thrilled to receive you wonderful review. It has been a pleasure helping you find a property and we will do everything that we can to make sure it completes as soon as possible.
