Could not have been more helpful and professional! Charlie and Chris were so helpful from booking the viewing until the moment I picked up the keys to my rental. They knew I was relocating and were able to help with any questions and concerns, as well as do considerate things like check times to drive between viewings on Google maps while I was on the phone with them. Little things like that meant a lot at a really stressful time, so Thankyou Northwood!

Our recent move was handled very professionally, with a clear focus on client and customer service. The team was attentive throughout the process and made everything run smoothly. One feature that really stood out was their app, it allows you to report issues, leave comments, and even download a PDF summary for future reference, which is incredibly helpful. Special thanks to Charlie, who was always responsive to emails and calls, ensuring that all the paperwork and details were taken care of efficiently. Great service overall!

Highly unprofessional. Our family is in the process of relocating and looking for a rental in Exeter and had arranged a viewing with Northwood. Drove over 100miles with my 6 month old baby in tow to view the property, only for them to cancel on us on the day of the viewing!

Nomad · 8 August 2024

Agent replied · 31 December 2024

Dear Nomad Home UAE, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are truly sorry for the inconvenience and frustration you experienced, especially given the long journey you made. We fully understand how disappointing it must have been to have the viewing canceled on the day. To provide some context, once we receive a holding deposit for a rental property, we are legally required under the Tenant Fees Act 2019 to stop marketing the property and cease all further viewings. This ensures that the property is reserved for the applicant who has committed by paying the holding deposit. We understand how frustrating this situation can be, but unfortunately, we are required to follow these regulations, which are in place to protect all parties involved. While this legal obligation meant we had to cancel the viewing, we sincerely apologize for the disruption it caused to your plans. Cancellations like this are rare, but we acknowledge the impact they can have, especially when traveling from a distance. If you are still searching for a property, we would love to help you find something suitable. Please feel free to get in touch with us directly, and we will do our best to ensure a smooth and positive experience going forward. Kind regards, The Northwood Exeter Team

I moved from India to Exeter and Layla helped me get my first home on rent here in the UK. Northwood was clear, transparent and helpful in the whole process. Layla guided me in everything and helped me understand all aspects of renting as I was new to the UK. Layla went the extra mile and we did the contract for my two bedroom apartment in less than a weeks time. Layla was super helpful and answered all my queries very patiently. Layla is a real asset to the Northwood. Thanks and Cheers !

I let my rental property through Northwoods since 2018. Whilst my initial experience was mixed, since Chris has taken over the service has been absolutely first class. Transparent and extremely helpful. Emma went above and beyond to assist when the tenancy came to an end and I would not hesitate in recommending anybody to let a property through them.

Worst estate agents I’ve ever dealt with never sorted any of the problems we reported, that needed fixing always had to do it myself to then be told I didn’t have permission to do that. there rude on the phone when you call them about a issue. and trying to get my deposit back was a issue I was always having to chase for it back and after about a month I still didn’t get the full amount Avoid at all cost
