From very first contact - JW Wood have been brilliant & hyper efficient! Communication has been superb and customer service 2nd to none!

Also, Ella who has been dealing with me from the office from point of enquiry! She understood & accommodated my communication restrictions, dealt with & responded rapidly, handled everything without delay/issue/concern + played a major part in the smooth progression of my house process!

I am in the process of buying a house and I couldn't have done without the help of Sarah Graham! She has been always extremely helpful and supportive throughout the process. Sarah always understood my busy schedule and made everything smooth and stress-free as a first-time buyer. She quickly recommended me all of the services needed for the buying process and I will always be thankful for her help. Thank you!

Unethical Company

I would not recommend this landlord or organisation based on my experience. When we moved in, the property was not prepared as promised, and many serious issues required attention immediately. Despite raising these concerns, the landlord did not respond to complaints or engage in any meaningful dialogue to resolve them. Additionally, outstanding bills from before our tenancy had not been cleared, which caused further complications and debt collectors. Communication was poor throughout, and key assurances made to us were not followed through. Based on this, I would not buy or rent a property from this organisation, as I found their approach unprofessional, unreliable and unethical.

The people at JD Wood in Bishop Auckland provided a very friendly and efficient service. My enquiries were dealt with promptly, and I was given clear guidance about next steps when purchasing a property. They also have an excellent conveyancing team, which makes the notably stressful business of buying a house a little easier.

I would like to thank the Bishop Auckland branch. Especially Amanda and Barbera for keeping me informed on viewings and how the sale ( subject to contract) is going. I'm a hard person to contract due to work commitments but they have persevered. Polite and informative and hopefully it all drops into place and the chain of sales goes through.

I have just agreed a sale through the Bishop Auckland branch of JWW, and I can't speak highly enough of the team. Martyn, Amanda and Barbara have been looking after the sale, and they have been lovely to deal with.The photos where fantastic and their marketing is great, it must have work because a sale was agreed within a week of going live on rightmove. They were really been accommodating and helpful, especually when I decided to go on holiday the same week as deciding to market my property! Its early days in the process, but fingerscrossed the rest of the sale will runs as smoothly, Im sure it will in light of the professionalism I have experienced so far.
