John D Wood and Co Sales reviews

★★★★★ 5/5

Google

Sarah Dirilen and the team at John D Wood provided an excellent service throughout the sale process. What stood out most was their clear understanding of the property's market and their ability to target it effectively from the outset. That made a real difference. After an earlier disappointing experience elsewhere, Sarah and her team took a much more focused approach. They secured an offer within three weeks with far fewer viewings. They were professional, responsive, and proactive throughout, and communication was always clear and well handled. I greatly appreciated their judgment, persistence, and support. My thanks to Sarah and the whole team for helping bring the sale to a successful exchange.

It’s impossible to overstate just how invaluable Sarah and Holleigh were in the sale of my flat. From the very start they were proactive, meticulous and completely on top of every detail. They acted as trusted advisers, skilled negotiators and incredibly efficient liaisons throughout the entire process. I’m certain we wouldn’t have achieved the same outcome without them. It’s rare to come across people who are genuinely exceptional at what they do, to find two working together felt like winning the jackpot. In what can be a fairly stressful event, I genuinely enjoyed all the interactions I had with Sarah and Holleigh. I haven’t stopped telling anyone who’ll listen how outstanding they both are. Sarah even went above and beyond by helping me navigate negotiation points for the purchase of my onward property, a level of client care far beyond anything one might reasonably expect. Thank you both so much.

Amazing experience selling our property through John D Wood in Herne Hill / Brixton at the end of 2025. We were genuinely impressed by how professional, competent, hands-on, practical, solutions-focused, knowledgeable, commercially minded and helpful they are. Special shout out to Sarah Dirilen (Head of the office) and Holleigh Gallon - both incredible professionals, who made sure that the process was smooth, efficient and effective. Would have given 5 stars + if it was possible. For anyone that wants to sell in the area don't think twice, head straight to them.

Holleigh and the team at John D Wood were excellent. We were purchasing our first home together and they made the process so clear, arranging multiple viewings where needed quickly and efficiently, as well as recommending an excellent solicitor and mortgage broker to help us through the process. Holleigh knew the details of the property and the sellers well, which was far more than we experienced with other local estate agents. Couldn’t be happier - thanks to all the team!!

Bradley and team have been great to work with at John D Wood - professional, responsive and very clear throughout the lettings process. Bradley took the time to explain things properly, kept me updated at each step, and made what could have been a stressful process feel very manageable. I really appreciated how proactive and reassuring he was. Would happily recommend Bradley and all the team at John D Wood to any other first time landlords.

We sold our flat with John D Wood and couldn’t be happier with the process behind us. From the start Nicholas was very personable and understood our situation and worked tirelessly to get the sale swiftly. What’s important is the work they have put in after the offer has been accepted to make sure we were always kept in the loop. We couldn’t be more grateful and despite this agent not being in the area as long as others - I think they are by far the best

Huge thanks to Sarah and Holleigh for their professionalism and attention to detail during the sale of our house in Herne Hill. Communication was up to the minute via What’s App. The office was always available and pleasant to deal with. The team was also extremely helpful in providing third- party contractors to assist with various practicalities. The whole process was smooth and stress-free from start to finish and we are delighted with our choice of John D Wood.

Great experience with John D Wood

I couldn’t thank David at the Docklands branch enough for his outstanding support throughout our property rental journey. This has genuinely been the best experience we’ve ever had with an estate agent. He was always quick to respond, highly proactive, and incredibly effective at solving any issues that came up. It was clear he was completely on top of everything from start to finish. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a smooth and stress-free rental experience!

Advice on sale of flat

I went to the Docklands branch and spoke to Tushar about the sale of my property. A very constructive meeting - Tushar clearly has a lot of knowledge and experience, which really put me at ease, (thankfully, as I know from experience how stressful selling one’s home can be). I came away with a good idea of how I want to move forward and checklist of the things that need to be done. Definitely worth considering paying a visit to John D Wood + Co if you are thinking of selling up.

We have loved the process of selling our flat with Sarah and the team. From getting the photos done through to exchange, they were excellent with communication, explaining issues with solicitors and generally just being a great advisor through the whole process. When we found out we were going to have a gap until we could move into our new home, they have also been very supportive trying to find a short let in the area, which was much appreciated. Overall I couldn’t recommend the team highly enough!

We cannot praise Sarah and Holleigh enough. Their friendly, efficient and professional support in selling our house on Fawnbrake Avenue was amazing. Their communication was excellent and they understood the emotional side as well as the logistical side of selling a family home after we had been there for 19 years.

Thank you so much to Bradley Gilchrist at the Beckenham branch for his outstanding support during the process of renting out my property. He could not have been more helpful and patient.

Johnny Moore John D Wood Review

From the very start Daniel White and Jane Marshall made me feel, not just that I was in safe hands, but that I was dealing with two people who are extremely professional and experienced. I never felt pressured or rushed and their communication skills, support, and calm reassurance has made the whole process of selling my house a positive one.

We have had a really positive experience with John D Wood in Herne Hill. The team is professional, responsive and clearly knowledgeable about the local market. Nick, who was our main point of contact, has been excellent throughout. From the initial valuation of our home, he was honest, realistic and transparent in his advice, something we really valued. He was also proactive in helping us find our next home. He took the time to understand our criteria and showed us properties that genuinely matched what we were looking for, including opportunities that were not yet on the open market. That ultimately gave us the chance to secure a home we truly love. While we were waiting to hear whether our offer would be accepted, Nick communicated with us regularly and acted as an excellent intermediary between ourselves and the vendors, ensuring our questions were answered promptly and clearly. Overall, a very reassuring and professional service, and we would highly recommend them.
