I recently purchased a house from John D Wood Fulham, and the team there were great! Our agent, Emma Bruce, was infinitely patient during our search, and once the purchase process was underway, she was very responsive throughout the process (even returning calls and email while skiing in the alps!). She provided us with timely and sound advice and also gave us some great contacts when we needed them (such as our architect who we are now using). Most importantly, I found the team there to have very high standards of integrity and honesty which were really important to me. We dealt with at least half a dozen different agencies during our search and I would say that John D Wood stood out for us - both in terms of service level as well as the quality of the properties they had in their portfolio. I would highly recommend them to anyone considering buying or selling a house in the area.

Useless estate agent. Been trying to get through to view some properties and no-one responds to emails or answers call...

They 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.
Dear Daniel Ambrus, 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.

The 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…
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…
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.

Attached 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.
Thank you for getting in touch and letting us know. Could you please email further details to marketing@johndwood.co.uk so we can investigate.

Nadia - 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.

RENTERS 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

Had 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.

John 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.

Tenant 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.

Having nominated John D Wood in Parsons Green, Fulham, to market and sell my property, I cannot speak higher of the professionalism exhibited by the sales team there. Specifically working with Charlie, Sophie, and Emily, their coordination of the whole sales process from launch to completion was superbly managed. It is easy to see why John D Wood has the professional reputation it has. Thank you so much again, all.
