AVOID THIS DISHONEST AGENCY

Worst real estate agency I've ever dealt with. Almost going to bring them to court. Razvan Boerean was our property manager. We have been trying to get our deposit back for more than a year. Every time we called there was some excuse like "He's out for lunch" or "He's on annual leave soon" followed by "he'll call you back". He didn't call us back and we've had to chase our deposit for months. It's been more than a year since we moved out and still haven't gotten our deposit back yet. Furthermore, our emails are just ignored and not even an explanation for such a delay or the costs of any deductions was given. Our naivete has been taken advantage of because we didn't know that our deposit insurance only lasted for 3 months and now they are very obviously just trying to steal our deposit. I have sent the last email to them with a 14 day deadline for an explanation or my deposit back. In a week if I don't receive anything I will take all the evidence I have and bring them to court. Avoid this unscrupulous company for your own safety.

Bizarre

I contacted Claire Carter after receiving a leaflet through my door, to see if they are interested in selling my house. I had a visit from 'Charlotte' the same day, to do a valuation. Then I never heard from them again. Obviously not interested in selling houses. Timewasters. Bizarre.

I would thoroughly recommend John D Wood's Earls Court office - being involved in any property purchase/sale is generally a pretty stressful experience but Sophie (Ling) and Fee (Henderson) have guided me through the labrynth of paperwork and processes with great professionalism and expertise and most importantly kept me calm whenever I began to panic about something! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Property buying transaction…

I completed a flat buying transaction with David, Simon and team from John D. Wood Earl's Court London David and team were responsive and well understood my property expectations from start I was only contacted with regards to the viewing of properties that matched my requirements. The team went the extra miles to ensure that the final phase of the transactions was completed as expected. I would highly recommend the service of John D. Wood and most particularly, of Dacid and Simon who worked in partnership with me during that transaction

Absolutely awful experience. My tenancy ended in August, and it has been nearly four months, yet I still haven't received my deposit. I have contacted the property management team multiple times and sent countless emails to inquire about the progress of the return, but all I've heard is, 'I will check and get back to you later,' which has obviously been a joke. It's all just excuses.

Great experience with James Mander

I’ve been renting with John D Wood for about two years now, and it has been a great experience. We recently had a slightly unsettled handover when our previous property manager left, but our new property manager, James Mander, has been absolutely fantastic always quick to help and resolving any issues as soon as possible.

JDW Earl’s Court (Fee Henderson)

I recently purchased a property marketed by JDW Earl’s Court and managed by Fee Henderson. Fee was v professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive. She made the entire process smooth and stress-free (as much as it could be), providing clear communication at every step. Would recommend!

DO NOT GO WITH THEM

DO NOT GO WITH THEM. Poor communication from John D Wood. We wanted to purchase a property sold through them but their behaviour put us off. Holly from the Dulwich Branch was rude, unprofessional and not transparent in regards to process.

The service was beyond excellent! Lionel was extremely helpful and helped me get the flat I really wanted! There at every step and for every question. I can't recommend Lionel enough. Huge difference between JDW and other agencies, I highly recommend it, they are willing to go above and beyond. They get the stress of apartment hunting that we go through, their expertise is much needed

Absolutely shocking experience. Very brief but negative encounter with Jenna Shakir who was extremely rude and unprofessional. She had arranged for photographers to come into our home to take photos. When we arrived home our flat had been rearranged with clothes thrown on the floor and valuables damaged. After reaching out to try to get her to solve the issue, Jenna initially agreed it was shocking and wrong and then a couple of days later went back on her word saying it’s nothing to do with her and our responsibility to sort out with a 3rd party photographer (which she arranged). Would not recommend trusting her or John D Wood with your property as a landlord or tenant.

We were most impressed by the professionalism, determination and patience shown to us by all at John D Wood Earls Court, but particularly by David and Simon who took it is as their personal mission to sell our 2 bedroom flat! The perseverance and energy they put into marketing our flat in very difficult market conditions was simply amazing. They continually supported, reassured and communicated with us throughout the whole process leaving us feeling fully informed and in control. Thank you all so much.

We had an amazing experience dealing with Kate Martin from the Primrose Hill branch. She really took her time with us and her knowledge of the Primrose Hill and NW London area is second to none. She would be our first call if looking for a property in this area.

Customer 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. It’s honestly ridiculous, either don’t promise to call back, or live up to the expectations you’ve set yourself. The lack of basic communication is highly unprofessional and very disappointing.

From start to finish with seeking a rental property, Amanda and Anna were so helpful in guiding me through the process so everything ran smoothly up to when I moved in. Even the Landlord was present then to show me all about the appliances. I cannot commend John D Wood highly enough as regards letting properties to a tenant such as myself.

Absolutely abysmal property and tenant management experience. After an inventory check that showed that all furniture items were intact, JD Wood came back 5 months later to essentially accuse us of moving some of the furniture. Prior to this, while we were still in the flat, we had an issue with the fuse that cut power to the fridge and half the flat. We emailed, stressing that many items were at the risk of spoilage but received no support/response. The experience started alright but went severely downhill with time. Would not recommend.

DON'T RENT FROM THEM

I moved into the apartment only to find countless issues, no hot water, an unmentioned carpet moth infestation, broken doors, and more. On top of that, dealing with the property manager, Razvan Boerean, was a nightmare due to his passive-aggressive attitude whenever I requested repairs. Over the course of a year, the agency changed property managers three times, making communication and accountability even worse. When I moved out, they made absurd claims to unfairly deduct from my deposit. Some of these claims mysteriously disappeared when I asked for further evidence. The property manager even hinted that if I chose to raise a third-party dispute, they would inflate the charges, such as replacing the entire balcony door, yet this was never mentioned again in the dispute process. As an international student, I felt like an easy target for this agency to exploit, especially when it came to unfair deposit deductions. Thankfully, I didn’t fall for their intimidation tactics and went through the dispute resolution process. In the end, the agency was awarded only 1/8 of what they originally demanded. The entire experience, from moving in to moving out, was a nightmare. No matter how good the rent may seem, it’s simply not worth it. If you're an international student, be extra cautious, this agency will try to take advantage of you. I strongly advise against renting from them.

John D Wood Wandsworth Positive Feedback

We have dealt with John D Wood in Wandsworth both to purchase a property and to sell one. Our experience has been positive, particular with Stewart Harrison, Head of Sales, who was extremely responsive, knowledgeable and on the ball. Stewart always took the time to speak to us, answer questions and give advice. Jimmy Gallagher was also fantastic.
