TrustpilotThey will make you chase your own money.
Expect this company to be totally negligent returning your deposit (even if your landlord agreed for this to be released). They will make you chase your own money for weeks after you moved out, an absolute nightmare.

TrustpilotThe worst agent service I have ever…
The worst agent service I have ever seen in my life. We have been dealing with them for more than a year. We wrote a letter to them complaining and nothing was ever done. They delegate their work to everyone, they just pretend they work. Never hire them.

J D Wood did a fantatic job helping us sell our flat in Wimbledon Park. We faced a few hurdles that were unexpected but Chris and Lewis got things on track and got the sale through when we had given up. I would thouroughly reccomend them if you are considering selling a property.

Toby Nalder at the Earl’s Court office was extremely helpful and professional, making sure I always was informed of any new property and handling any request swiftly.

GoogleI registered with a few agents in my search for a rental property, but John D Wood (Notting Hill) were by far the most professional. They suggested properties for viewing that matched my criteria, and once I had found the right one, the process was very straightforward and there were no unexpected charges. The rental team, Sally Hamilton and Magdalena Kotara have been superb - really helpful and efficient, both through the initial period and ongoing tenancy!

TrustpilotAttached marketing banner to my property without consent
This company is fly-posting marketing banners on my property's fence without consent. I've reported them to the local council.

TrustpilotNadia - An Excellent Agent (John D Wood) To Deal With
Nadia, at John D Wood, was an excellent communicator and frank about the flat, the market and clients. She was obviously knowledgeable about the product, prompt in placing the flat in the market and with viewings. I really would like to give Nadia, at John D Wood the opportunity to rent this flat for me when it becomes vacant again - I really valued and will value Nadia's approach.

TrustpilotRENTERS BEWARE
RENTERS BEWARE John D Wood is a very deceitful company. They are withholding my rental deposit after nearly 4 week’s without a satisfactory explanation. They have ignored all requests and constantly lie to me. RENTERS BEWARE

TrustpilotHad a really good experience
Had a really good experience! Ellie Bowers the estate agent I was in contact with was very nice, efficient... She showed me a few properties and really into consideration what I liked and did not liked and found me the ideal flat. Her approach was not as salesy as can be with some other estate agents. Feels like she really cares about her customers. I would highly recommend.

TrustpilotJohn D Woods a great choice
We are very satisfied with a capital V with the service we received to sell our property in Weybridge. All the team are great but Ruby Rowntree who dealt with us from day 1 is excellent both caring and professional.

GoogleThe John D Wood and Co. Kensington branch has been an absolute pleasure to work with. Within minutes of contacting them to schedule flat viewings, we had lined up a series of apartments that fit our criteria beautifully. The people who work there are professional and incredibly efficient, and the entire process was made easy and manageable thanks to their talented team. I will certainly be using John D Wood in the future.

TrustpilotTenant changeover - handled very well
The tenants that JDW found for me in 2019 decided to leave after one year, disappointingly, but JDW (Trinity Road branch, SW18) found two people who appear to be excellent replacements, with only a 10-day void. The necessary arrangements were all made in a professional manner. I'd particularly like to single out Shoeni Oates for the excellent service and advice I've received as an inexperienced landlord.

I found the team at Fulham led by Eduard to be very caring and thorough, quick to respond to any queries. The team's personable approach made a big difference and built trust between us from the get go. Thank you for a successful outcome along a very smooth journey of interactions between us.

TrustpilotJ D WOOD Parsons Green
The Parsons Green office have been absolutely wonderful in the sale of our property in Fulham, offering excellent advice and exceptional service. Adrian and Molly in particular have been wonderful to work with - they are incredibly knowledgeable, and so supportive. Couldn’t recommend the team more highly!
5/5
GoogleWe picked a listing on RightMove and contacted the agent, which turned out to be John D Wood. We love the flat, but it didn't hurt to have JDW manage the process. We appreciated the clear communication channel - from arranging viewing, making an offer, landlord's response to the offer, arranging a meeting with the landlord, signing the agreement, and moving in. Service was prompt, friendly and professional throughout.

TrustpilotAwful experience
Awful experience. Reached end of tenancy and despite instructions being followed and agreement with the Landlord, no return of deposit as yet. Seem incapable of resolving the issue - or do not want to do so. A sad end to the tenancy and completely unnecessary. I would recommend you look elsewhere.

TrustpilotTerrible agents
Terrible agents, a bunch of kids who do not know what they’re doing. Awful at keeping you updated on the progress and very disorganised. You have to chase them and only to find out that something hasn’t been done or done too late thus you ending up missing out on the property! What a waste of time

I am very happy with the attention Alexandra Crocker, Emily Hughes and Harry Crookenden are given to me in regard to the short-let tenancy of my flat.Any issue I have they try to solve immediately .I recommend John D Wood for the very professional and experienced people they have.

TrustpilotThe worst of all
The worst of all. Penelope Leng showed me a property that is not ready to move in. And the renting price is increased when I told her that I want to rent. I don't know the company but I know the letting negotiator who made me unhappy about the whole experience.

TrustpilotBad tenant Chris Witts
J D Wood let my flat in Weybridge. The bad tenant Chris Witts stopped paying the rent and left the flat damaged and very dirty. He would not admit his financial responsabilities, luckily I was able to recover the debt from the deposit through mydeposits.
Where the same review appears twice we show it once. We leave out reviews that name another agent or another of the brand's offices.
