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.

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.

Greg Β· 19 November 2025

Trustworthy and great communication

The most impressive thing about JWWood sales team is their communication. They told us everything that is happening. Julie in particular is the person who stayed with us through the whole process from market to sale. She was warm, friendly, gave good advice and kept us up to date with all developments at all times. Very responsive and a pleasure to work with. Thank you.

I am sharing my experience of dealing with JW Wood Estate Agents, Chester le Street as a recent vendor. I cannot fault the service I have been given from the initial contact and valuation of my property to the speedy reaction once it officially went on to the market. From the start, each member of the team I came into contact with were approachable and friendly, gave me excellent advice and comprehensive information relating to the property market in general in the area where I live. Staff have also provided step by step assistance through the process. This has all gone to prove that I made the right decision in putting the marketing and selling of my property in to their very capable hands. Communication has been excellent and I delighted to confirm that my property has sold very quickly - subject to contract, of course!

We recently sold our property with JW Wood. The experience was as smooth as a house sale can ever be. The team had great communication throughout (including when people were on leave). We felt well supported in all aspects of the process. Having to conduct the sale remotely from the other end of the country is was great to know the team had our back. Chloe and Caitlin in particular were both outstanding!
