All of the staff have been very helpful, knowledgeable and professional.

All of the staff have been very friendly and professional throughout the process of selling and buying. It’s twenty five years since we bought our home so didn’t have a clue but feel very supported by the team from Consett branch. Would highly recommend.

AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID

AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID. They were dishonest and were not presenting our interests as the sellers and promoted and protected the buyer. The overall service verged on negligence and they were in violation of three of the codes of conduct that they are signatory to, and we thought about taking them to the property Ombudsman but we decided our time is too valuable to spend on them. The Durham office knew that we were so disappointed and so shocked, of how things transpired including the managing director, but not a single person picked up the phone to talk to us. They deserve 0 stars in reality. They in fact give a bad name to real estate agents. It took us that long to digest how badly they managed the whole process over an 11 months period, and only now we feel we can put a review that reflects their unprofessionalism, dishonesty and the favoring of the buyer, while representing us and the sale of our house.

Don’t bother even looking

Unbelievable experience trying to secure student housing for 23/24. Was told we couldn’t get any information and had to wait for the properties to launch. Checked website every 10 minutes every day. They launched and instantly every one of the 100 plus properties already had applications on. How is that even possible? Terrible agent.

A Positive Experience all the way.

Friendly,supportive staff all the way, Jenny in Durham was brilliant, contacting me regularly to keep me in the loop. A few twists and turns along the way from the buyer, which got me worried, but Jenny was calm and reassuring throughout, and we finally got over the line.

Terrible estate agent

After 15 viewings on my property without a sale I found out that JW Woods were letting the tenant I was evicting handle viewings. Complete incompetency. Terrible service. Wasted opportunity to sell now the market is in freefall.
