Absolutely Dismal Organization
Absolutely Tragic OrganizationFailure to execute basic needs prior to move in- including ensuring lightbulbs were functioning. Failure to deliver resolutions to Damp issues preceding tenancy agreement. Even after escalating issues this organization failed to deliver anything in a timely manner. Incredibly disorganized and charging a 17.5% fee to landlord for Property "Management" when in reality they put the management of the property on the tenant. As others have said, quick to demand if they need anything from tenant, slow to react if anything is need of them. If I am a landlord I am steering clear of this organization or risking potential lawsuits.
1/5
Unprofessional
Unprofessional, non-responsive and DO NOT return deposits timely I had a problem slumlord with endless defects in the flat at 4100 a month. Landlord used JDW chelsea/earls court to manage the property. The pod never responded to email to fix anything. After 6 months we agreed to leave and pay less rent. The kid and his colleagues delayed releasing £4700 deposit for 18 days after moving out using any and all excuses until I threatened to file a dispute! Buyer be ware.

At a time when the housing market is hugely volatile and rental properties are few and far between, we found dealing with CHK Mountford and Claire to be a cut above the rest. Excellent and thoughtful service, cognisant of our needs and in the end facilitating a property that we love. Couldn't recommend them enough.
Thank you so must for your wonderful 5* review of our local team. I will ensure your kind comments are known to the local team. Best wishes, Scott @ Customer Relations

5/5
The team at the Esher office went far beyond the call of professional duty to secure our sale and purchase. They pulled out all the stops to secure a happy ending. Can't recommend them highly enough. Andrina particularly went the extra mile and was always reliable, friendly, helpful, and genuinely caring about her clients
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for your wonderful 5* review and recommendation! Kind regards, Lucy, Customer Relations.

Untrustworthy and intimidating tactics
While it may work for some, I found the approach and behaviour of the Wandsworth JDW sales team truly abhorrent. Their wrongdoings range from the way they spoke to my husband and I right through to their sales and negotiation tactics. They frequently made (incorrect) assumptions and comments about our lifestyle and finances and throughout the purchase tried to belittle and patronise us so we followed their instructions rather than listened to our solicitor. They nothing short of used intimidation tactics and baseless threats to make us jump for their every wish. They lied in the details of selling the house, both in writing and verbally; accepted offers but broke the terms of the offers with no communication or regard that this was incorrect behaviour; and when we were finally at the end of negotiations and all paperwork ready to exchange and complete, they started upon new tales and demands trying to threaten the chain breaking if we did not comply. We’ve fed back directly to the agents involved and while sales behaviours are a common part of society, we both felt this was way over the line of acceptable behaviour. In this area of London, with this amount of money being spent in such a lovely community and neighbourhood, my husband and I were truly appalled by their style and have never come across other agents like it. We won’t be using them in the future and sadly, even if it is just this branch, our trust in the whole JDW organisation has been tainted by this truly stressful and frankly bullying experience. I can only hope our feedback is considered and agents reflect upon their handling so they do not continue to treat people this way.
5/5
Second time renter, first time as equally as amazing as the second time round. Staff are knowledgeable, friendly and extremely helpful in every aspect in finding me a rental property that’s beyond expectations. They’re there to help me every step of the way from beginning to the end which make the process relatively stress free as they take care of everything. I would highly recommend CHK Mountford to anyone who are looking to rent or buy.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us this 5 star review, it is always great to see that the team were able to provide such fantastic service both this time and previously. Kind Regards, Scott

Amazing
We just bought our first house, and Andrina was more then helpful. As FTB, we had lots of questions 😊, but their quick response and support throughout this process made this purchase so smooth. They also work amazing as a team.I would highly recommend Andrina ! Thank you for the nice experience

Poor experience
As a landlord, I cannot recommend this agency. They have high staff turnover, are extremely disorganized, blatantly mis-inform, and oversee shoddy maintenance. The experience from the POV of the tenant seems to be just as poor. The sales team blatantly over-promises, then the landlord is left trying to understand why they are on the hook for things they explicitly did not agree to. Really a horrible experience all around.
Dear Jenny Hall, we are sorry to hear you were not satisfied. If you wish to share any further comments about your experience, please do email us on hq@johndwood.co.uk. Kind regards, John D Wood & Co.

1 star is too much for them
1 star is too much for them. They are paid to manage a rental property & significantly failed to do so. Their breaches of contract include:

A very satisfied customer
I have let my flat with John D Woods for many years now and the company have always found me a very good tennant. The service has been extremely good and efficient. I would like to specially mention Shioeni Oates and Imogen at the Wandsworth branch. I would highly recommend John D Woods.

Horrible experience with this agency
Horrible experience with this agency. I am currently living in a 3 bed flat in Fulham where one of the bedroom ceiling has collapsed and for last 2 months the agency has been slow, practically unresponsive and simply rude. They treat tenants with such disdain it’s shocking. Do not use this company
Dear Ify Thank you for your getting in touch and we are of course understandably disappointed to hear this. We can see that the Senior Head of Property Management has been in touch and is currently in correspondence, alongside the Property Manager to help resolve this matter.RegardsJohn D Wood & Co.

CHK Mountford (Esher) has let our house for many years. They are professional, reliable, honest and Catherine Harris, in particular, goes beyond the call of duty on countless occasions. We would definitely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone else considering letting their home.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us this amazing 5* review and recommendation. Kind regards Lucy, Customer Relations
