TrustpilotNo no-obligation market appraisal
Lisa Knight, Head of Sales in the Beckenham branch posted a letter to me dated the 17th February. It said, “If you would like to arrange a no-obligation market appraisal, please do not hesitate to get in touch..” I rang the office and made an appointment for the 7th of March. I was clear that I was not putting the house on the market right now.

GoogleI had a very good experience with Milli. She answered quickly to my request and even proposed to visit another flat without me asking in case I wanted to have a second option.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us this tremendous 5* review. Kind regards, Lucy, Customer Relations.

TrustpilotAvoid at any cost
If I could give zero I will! Awful experience starting from when they gave me the keys and then literally disappeared! Then the inventory was totally different from what I found in the house and when I contacted them they said contact the landlord we can’t do anything! Glad that the landlord was cooperative.Now after leaving the house it took them 10 days to send me the inventory checkout and I called them everyday and they gave a different story every day! Now I have been chasing the deposit for 1 month! Literally awful experience, avoid at any cost.

Delighted with how the Chelsea office managed my sale, in particular Sema and Jamie. Calm, responsive, proactive and showed real belief in the project. Head and shoulders above their competitors.

GoogleHello, I would prefer you did not publish this. I just wanted to record my thanks and appreciation to Monika and Alessandro and others who have come and gone over the years for all the professionalism and kindness they have shown me, first in arranging the purchase, and then as a landlord in absentia managing the letting of my 2 flats. I wish you all the best, and I will definitely be in touch again, when I need to either rent or sell my flats. Kind regards, Richard Pegge
It’s really lovely to read another 5* review. Many thanks, Lucy, Customer Relations.

GoogleIf you are a landlord looking for an outstanding letting agent, go to Ivanka, lettings manager at JDW South Kensington, backed up by a small team of competent professionals. !! Ivanka knows the market inside-out, has rental property law at her fingertips and her absolute integrity makes her somewhat special. If JDW have a tenant applicant who might not be ideal, she will caution you. If you have a problematic tenant, she will do all it takes to sort matters fairly - being very straight forward with both parties. This kind of honesty obviously generates trust for the long term and Ivanka will always be my No 1 letting agent to go to.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your 5* review and brilliant comments. I will of course make sure your kind works are passed on to the local team. Stay safe! -Scott @ Customer Relations

GoogleThe agent (Samantha Rogers) was quite rude - she started acting like we were late to a viewing even though we arrived 2 minutes early. Seemed to be on edge and ignored my messages inquiring more information on the property. Did not even bother replying when I asked if property was taken or not so I could move on to search for others.
Thank you for taking the time to leave this feedback, we take all comments seriously and this has been passed on to the Regional Manager to discuss with the branch to see how they can improve for the future. If you would like to go through this in more detail at all, please do email me at review@countrywide.co.uk Kind regards, Lucy, Customer Relations.

TrustpilotRUN AWAY FROM THEM!
RUN AWAY FROM THEM!I have lived in many flats in London and never have I experienced such a terrible process. First of all, we wrote down a formal offer with 1 only requirement. After our offer was accepted and we payed one week worth of rent to secure the place, they tell us that specific requirement cannot be met. They took almost 3 weeks to make the landlord sign our contract, and it was voided TWICE so we had to re-sign the contract 3 times in total as they kept adding clauses to it. During the move in, we realise the flat had not been cleaned (and the contract stated everything had to be professionally cleaned, even curtains and sofas.....) but the flat was in an appalling state really. We asked for it to be cleaned again and we are still waiting..... Not to say that we are still waiting for the landlord to pay the inventory. The people in this agency are very rude and will treat you bad. One advice, never use this agency!!!
Dear NG, We would like to hear more about your experience with us, so if you could email across your name and email address, we can investigate this further. Thank you, John D Wood & Co.

TrustpilotSound advice
Our property was already on the market when we met James Setright and although it was too late to appoint them, James provided clear and comprehensive advice on issues we were having with the process

TrustpilotHighly recommended
I have had really good customer service from the team at John D Wood, especially Sardar and Camilla. Sardar swiftly arranged a viewing for me and he and Camilla were fantastic pushing things through so I could have a move in date within a week. Exceptional, especially with the move in date being 2 days before Christmas.Highly recommended!

TrustpilotAwful Lettings Management
As a tenant who has had John D Wood as my lettings management for the last 6 years I can say that they are absolutely awful. They don't reply to emails, don't take responsibility, don't put out of office emails on so you can't get anything urgent done. I would never use them.

TrustpilotCustomer Service on Permanent Lunch Break
I’ve called multiple times regarding a property and was repeatedly told I’d receive a call back either by end of day or the next working day. This has never happened. I even tried submitting an enquiry through Rightmove, but nothing would go through.

TrustpilotAwful experience
John D Wood owns APW, a lettings management company. Having raised a complaint against APW, I was, after a ridiculous amount of badgering, passed to John D Wood. Despite terrible reviews of APW already in place and after providing (several times) a list of 14 significant issues, I was informed they had done nothing wrong. Well, if the service (or lack thereof) I received was ‘fine’, goodness knows what this company thinks is poor service. Absolutely dreadful experience. I share another reviewer's frustration when they said they'd rather give their house away than use these guys again. Truly awful. Please don't use them.

TrustpilotUnprofessional
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.

GoogleAfter a long and difficult process of flat hunting, dealing with many agents, we found the services provided at John D Wood South Ken office far above the rest. Sadia was very helpful and attentitive making the process quick, efficient and most important for me stress free! I will highly recommend John D Wood to friends and family and defiantly will be using your services in the future.
5/5
GoogleAn extremely professional and courteous service from all of the team. George in particular was very helpful throughout the process of our purchase and really stepped up to the plate in the final days ahead of exchange when the going started to get tough. He remained very calm and collected and acted very fairly and openly as the go-between. His advice was solid at all times and my wife and I are highly appreciative of his polite, proactive and efficient modus operandi
Thanks Raj. Your comments in regards to the team are very much appreciated. Best wishes, Mark

TrustpilotTerrible
Terrible, terrible, terrible.John D Wood Richmond Branch is a nightmare. They are trying to charge for the damages which they were before the tenancy started. Although the first inspection report clearly proves that the damages were there before we enter the house, they still keep trying to charge it.For your sake, I strongly recommend you avoid them.
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.
