Julie and her team at JW Woods have been amazing! They helped me buy another house, and I'm so grateful. I've already told a friends and family about them, and I'd definitely use their service again without any doubts.

Swift and Easy Process

Nicky Hall did a wonderful job with helping me with my purchase. Kept me up to date, was prompt when sending things through via email and answered any questions I had. Any timing issues were down to the vendor taking time to reply and not JWW at fault.

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.
