A bunch of idiots! Twice in a month breached the contract entering the property without notice (“sorry miscommunication of our team”) and giving the key to a builder that entered the property without letting me know and trashed the flat(“sorry we forgot to let you know”). Once they called to double check if I paid the rent when for the past 8 years I’m paying direct debit so money goes out automatically (“sorry mistake from our end”), another time they tried to bill me 50£ fees coz agent didn’t manage to gain access to the property for inspection (“sorry keyfob didn’t work so need to pay a fee for the agent to come again”) I was at home waiting for them and I’m pretty sure the agent went to the wrong address or had wrong set of keys as the next time the keyfob was working fine! And I could go on... What services are we talking about? Since signing the contract in 2010 I only heard from you every 6 months for the inspections ( I don’t even know if you are coming for those inspections coz you don’t bother to leave a note or to let me know that an agent visited the property!). Every single year after the contract expires it’s me that I have to call to request a new contract. In 8 years I called twice. Once requesting a plumber as after coming back from a holiday there was mess coming out from the toilet and your response was “ put some towels on the floor”! and the second time when the heating stopped working in winter and your response was “ buy electric heating”. In 8 years no one carried out any maintenance in the flat whatsoever and I never complained about that. On one occasion one of your agent came for inspection with a trainee and started to pick on the furniture “ oh there is a chip on the washing machine! “ The washing machine is mine as the rest of the furniture, the flat was rented out unfurnished! I mean...c’mon! If anyone is reading this comments please note that there was no meeting so they are lying about this as well.
We are very disappointed that after 8 years as a tenant you have felt it necessary to leave a negative review about the service you have been receiving from our business. We pride ourselves on the high level of customer service that we provide. You clearly feel you have not been in receipt of this and we are genuinely sorry that you feel that is the case. As you are aware after our meeting, we are investigating all of the issues that you have raised.

This was my first experience of selling a house and I could not have put the sale in better hands than those of the Northwood team. They were excellent throughout the whole process and only too happy to help whenever I had a question, a request or needed an explanation of something that I did not understand. The staff always got back to me exactly when they said that they would and all the paperwork associated with the transaction was dealt with in an efficient and timely manner. A particular mention should be made of Hannah, the office manager, who went well above and beyond the call of duty in chasing up a number of outstanding matters in the final few days of the sales process, and also of Matt, whose attention to detail in the photography and marketing of my house helped to sell it more quickly than might otherwise have been the case. Selling a house whilst buying a new one to move to can be a stressful experience so it was welcome to know that my sale was in such reliable and capable hands. Thank you again for all your hard work and efforts. Should I ever be in a similar situation again I would not hesitate to use Northwood.
Thank you John for taking your time to leave us this wonderful review. We much appreciate it and are very glad you are happy with the service we provided you. All the best :)

On 13th December I starter having heating issues (no heating, no hot water) at my home, temperature at my home was 15*C, agency reaction was really fast, literally just after few hours they brought me electric heaters so I didn’t have to be worried by the temperature anymore. Just day after the technician has arrived and fixed the issue.
Hi Grzegorz, I’m delighted to hear that the team responded in such a positive way to your heating issues,. Have a great Christmas & thank you for taking the time to leave your review.

Our experience with Northwood was nothing other than positive. All aspects of our letting and later sale were handled in a very profesional and prompt manner. The dealings were always very friendly and personal. I would not hesitate to use them again in the future and would highly recommend them to anyone selling or letting their property. The people that well deserve the mention in this review are Emma and Siobhan who provided us with an outstanding service throughout and made the whole experience a very positive one.
Hello Katarina, thank you for your review of us. I am glad we were able to help you with renting your property when you needed a helping hand and then go on to sell it for you. Thank you for using all our services. Siobhan.

Bad! Booked a viewing, turned up with entire family including 3 year old. Stood outside until our booked slot, phoned the agent to see if the agent was on time and they tell us all viewings had been canceled. Post man over hears us and tells us he has seen lots of people waiting outside and then being told its canceled.
I'm very disappointed to hear this, please can you contact us directly to let us know where your appointment was as there may be an explanation to this. Please be assured this is not something that happens on a regular basis so there were not other people waiting outside the property.
