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

TrustpilotPoor 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. They are paid to manage a rental property & significantly failed to do so. Their breaches of contract include:

GoogleI switched from another estate agent to John D Wood and within 10 days had 2 offers. The service offered was excellent : professionalism, reliability, feed back, positivity, helpfulness and friendliness. The staff went above and beyond their requirements and I can only commend them to anyone wishing to sell their property.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

GoogleWe recently purchased a property in Abbeville marketed by John D Wood Clapham. Kesha Foss-Smith did an absolutely wonderful job with us. She was incredibly professional, helpful and responsive as well as pleasant to deal with all along the process. We would definitely work with her if we wanted market a property in the area.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us this amazing 5* review. Kind regards Lucy, Customer Relations.

TrustpilotSale of flat in the Fulham area…
I sold a flat in the Fulham area through the John D Wood team in Parsons Green/ Fulham Broadway. For various reasons (outside control of John D Wood or myself), this was a long, drawn-out sales process. I have to say that John D Wood team was at all times professional, responsive and went above and beyond to get the sale done and completed. I would certainly recommend John D Wood to my friends and contacts.

I have been working with Shoeni and the team for 10yrs with nothing but efficient helpful knowledgeable assistance. Love them! Love they are local and established in the ‘hood. I’ve worked with sales too and can’t say enough nice things about working with Jake and his sales crew.

TrustpilotHorrible 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.

TrustpilotAlessandro Lucatello, John D Wood & Co PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
Alessandro Lucatello, Head of Property Management at John D Wood, does an exceptional job. He always goes above & beyond to ensure my needs & wishes - as a landlord - are met. This includes personally overseeing projects on my property - something he could easily delegate but chooses to see things through for himself. He's amazing - & so are his staff who have looked after me for many, many years now. I can't recommend John D Wood for your Property Management needs, more highly. First class - always!

TrustpilotSelling with JDW Summertown
We highly recommend prospective sellers to consider JDW in Summertown. Our experience has been first class and the JDW service was highly professional right from the start - realistic estimate of house value, knowledge of the local market and how to maximise our sale price and managing our anxieties and expectations throughout the whole lengthy process to completion. The team were always professional, responsive and friendly and definitely worked hard to help us achieve our sale. They managed everything - EPC, flattering professional photographs included as part of the service, all the very many viewings, right through to chasing solicitors and other parties all along the chain to achieve completion. If you are considering selling your home, then do consider calling Daniel or Wai at JDW.

Claire Carter (based at the Weybridge branch) handled my purchase from start to finish and was exceedingly efficient. I was on a very tight timeline yet she saw no reason as to why we could not complete on time and she held true to her word. She chased deadlines when needs be and kept me informed immediately of any requests for information or any news.I never had to chase her for an answer to any question I had and I hugely appreciated her transparency throughout the process. I cannot recommend her and the agency enough.

TrustpilotIncredibly rude staff
I rented a property that was part managed by John D Wood. The service was just awful - whenever we wanted something done with any urgency, they never responded. As soon as they wanted something, we'd receive really abrupt and quite rude emails demanding that we respond immediately. The tone of all staff was rude and often accusatory. I still have no idea what the landlord paid them for as they didn't manage the property as we dealt with all the maintenance issues.

A recent new tenant who turned out to be very pleasant was found very quickly. The previous Tenancy Find was supposed to be for two tenants in the flat whereas in fact there were three and I was not happy about that.

TrustpilotExcellent Experience
John D Wood & Co. recently helped me to sell my property and I found them extremely professional and very helpful. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble and when a storm took down a tree and demolished the hedge, they immediately got a chap along to sort it out.Their communication regarding feedback from potential buyers was superb. I never had to chase them for information and I would recommend them to anyone wishing to sell a property.

TrustpilotDishonourable
After we had our offer accepted Sally Behan in Weybridge called to tell us we had been gazumped. We increased our offer above asking price but were told they wouldn’t sell to us. Turns out when the seller found out our name they decided not to sell to us for ‘personal reasons’When pushed about ‘personal reasons’ she then said that there was actually a cash buyer who offered asking price. That property remained on the market for 5 weeks after that before it said under offer. Friends of mine were able to call and make viewings during this time. Disappointing that a company owned by Skipton Building Society would behave like this. The honourable thing to do would be stop acting for the seller but the commission was clearly more important.

TrustpilotAgent not trustworthy
I was told John D Wood (Primrose Hill) were a well respected local agency with whom I could sell my property, and they seem, on the surface, very professional. But I grew to dread calls from my allocated agent - a smooth talking, cocky young man - he seemed to constantly be on the side of the buyer, not mine. He told a couple of utter lies about offers coming in, he had a total lack of attention to detail, and eventually I ended up moving to a different agency where I had a much more pleasant experience. They may be on prime Primrose Hill high street, and have lovely properties for sale, but do not let that fool you! I just did not trust them. Go elsewhere.
