Excellent from first call through to valuation, viewings, negotiations of offers, sale of house. Communication second to none. Whole process stress free as a result. Would use again and recommend to family and friends

We are buying a property through JWW Estate Agents. The team is always friendly and helpful, and respond quickly. Sarah Graham and Ann Stobbart are excellent. We have now been passed to the aftersales team and will hope for the same good service.

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.

I engaged JW Woods in Durham to sell my house for me in June 2023. It was sold within two weeks! The personal service and all communications were fantastic and the whole process ran very smoothly. The videos and photographs were of a very high quality which probably played a big part in selling the property so quickly. 10/10 Thank you!

Agent replied · 28 August 2024

Dear Louise, what a fantastic 5* review, thank you. Communication is a key part of our business, as is providing quality photography and marketing. The sale will now be handled by our after sales team through to completion

The personal one to one attention to my house sale was perfect, in my case it was Ann at the Durham office who handled the sale from start to end. A faultless transaction. I would personally recommend JW Wood for any such business.

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.
