Think twice if you're a landlord

If you're thinking of letting JW Wood manage your property think twice. They charge high fees, communication is dreadful if something goes wrong and they charge you for things without asking! Members of the team admit they have fallen short however managers there do not answer questions in a timely manner and when you suggest a face to face meeting to try and resolve things they refuse! Honestly worse estate agent I have encountered.

Thorough, efficient, considerate, and understanding

Excellent communication and attention to detail with understanding what a stressful time house buying and selling can be for sellers and buyers. It's the human element to the service for which I'm writing this review, and which was very much appreciated. And in that vein I've got to commend consultant, Nicky Hall, for delivering all these qualities at Woods.
