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.

Great service always helpfull

Have Used David Alexander at John D wood, and his team at Docklands and City for a while now. David is always happy to answer any questions I have, and has helped many of my clients landlords and tenants. He is professional, friendly, and extremely responsive throughout the entire process. Communication was clear and timely, and they made everything straightforward and stress‑free, answering all my questions and keeping me well informed at every stage.

This review comes a bit late, but it had to be written. Sema was incredibly helpful, kind, and professional throughout our interactions. She always responded clearly and patiently, and made the whole process feel much easier and less stressful. We’re very grateful for her support and would happily recommend working with her and the team at the Chelsea office.

Thank you so much to Bradley Gilchrist…

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. He is very knowledgeable, always quick to respond, highly proactive and made me feel very confident in what was potentially a stressful situation. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

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.

Our sale of a property in Surbiton

Our sale of a property in Surbiton was complicated by the fact that everything had to be managed from overseas. We were fortunate in being directed to John D. Wood and Co at the Surbiton branch, where we have nothing but praise for the professionalism and efficiency of Luke Dwyer and Theo Harding. There were many issues which caused delays in the process of this sale, but at all times Luke was quick to be in touch and to advise on the way forward. Although we did not meet in person, we very much appreciated his reassuring manner as we negotiated both legal and practical setbacks.

Superb team (Docklands and City)

I can't recommend Docklands and City team highly enough. From the moment my offer was accepted, they handled everything with professionalism and genuine care giving me real confidence throughout about the process. When I needed support they were there, chasing solicitors relentlessly to keep things moving.

Professional and helpful

Molly and her team at the Parsons Green office were very professional, helpful and pleasant to work with. From advising on the appropriate asking price, arranging multiple viewings and securing couple of offers in the first two days of the property being on the market. They were knowledgeable and assisted in navigating a stressful process, dealing with unexpected matters that came up during the conveyancing, which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend the Parsons Green office for selling a property.

Worked with Opemi Mafimisebi from the Docklands office recently and it was a pleasure of working with her as I couldn’t be more impressed with the service I received. From start to finish, she handled my enquiry with professionalism and genuine care.

JDW Chelsea, did a fantastic job selling my house. Gave me good advice on pricing, marketing and when it came to sale process , how to navigate the complex path to exchange. They also ensured that the exchange happened very quickly, which without their hand holding would not have been the case. What I also liked that even though Robert Green was may original main contact , I dealt with the whole team. The actual sale in the end was handled by William Close Smith. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Not only did he achieve the asking price, for me. He ensured that the exchange happened in a very smooth and extremely quick manor. I cannot thank him enough!!! Someone you really want on your side when selling your property. He was also very good at handling me, which is important as selling property is a stressful process!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

The whole team at JDW Chelsea Green are amazing, very professional and trustworthy, but incredibly charming as well. We recently sold our house through the Chelsea Green office, having had a couple of false starts where they kept their humour as we pulled out due to not being able to find what we wanted to buy in the country. Will Close-Smith was fantastic in closing off a tricky negotiation process. We have now bought a wonderful flat through JDW Chelsea Green and once again they were super proactive through the sales process which saw us exchange at 6pm on New Year’s eve. Chapeau! again to Will Close-Smith, and Jamie Davidson. Finally, they have given us excellent advice on the market over the years - Andy Buchanan, thank you particularly. There really is no one else I would use.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

We can’t speak highly enough of the team at John D Wood, Chelsea Green who have recently sold our apartment in Chelsea. We have worked closely with Robert Green and Will Close-Smith who have both provided an exemplary service. They have been in regular contact and provided expert advice throughout the entire process. They have excellent market insights, but don’t over promise or enter into hype. Will has been particularly supportive through the conveyancing process using his knowledge and contacts to keep things moving at speed. They genuinely cared about us and we felt supported at all times. We would highly recommend using their services, they are head and shoulders above the competition.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

AVOID AT ALL COSTS

If I could give 0 stars I would.I've rented 10 years in London and I have honestly NEVER been treated so awfully or experienced such unprofessional conduct. I truly wish I'd read all these reviews before I accepted a property through them because how these people are even in business is beyond me. They are useless, lie on tap and speak down to you at every opportunity. The onboarding process itself was bad enough - they (Alexandra, Emily and Samantha) were rude throughout, moved my move in date multiple times causing me to lose money and ignored any of my queries when I tried to get clarity on what was going on. But the second they wanted an answer - or for me to pay something - they would harass me relentlessly (including when I was at a funeral, which they were well aware of at the time).The property, which for context was fairly new and modern, was then handed over to me uncleaned (i.e. black surfaces, gunk in the shower, tea stains all over the floor). In itself this was bad enough and a breach of contact on their side, but I then quickly learned the drains were completely blocked too. They left me for months unable to use my own shower as the tray was completely full by the time the water would even get warm, rendering it inaccessible (thankfully I had an alternative via the gym but no compensation or apology was given for months of no access). Throughout this, they would either ignore my emails or respond with stupid comments like 'oh I think we just need a new shower head' (?) every time I tried to chase.I eventually had a (dodgy) plumber sent round who clearly made the problem worse as despite fixing the initial 'block', the shower began leaking shortly after. A different (and this time decent) plumber managed to fix it but told them they would need to carry out follow on work as it was soaking underneath the floors and they would need taking up to dry out properly. Of course they ignored this and within weeks the flat was COVERED in furry black mould spanning across the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom.The smell was literally unbearable and they didn't bother actioning anything until I threatened to contact environmental health (not that they ever properly fixed it, just painted over it). I literally spent my own birthday sleeping freezing cold on the floor (so I could be next to the open window) just so that I could breathe outside air. I had to throw out so many of my clothes as they smelt so bad afterwards, and they had the audacity to send some btec handyman over after telling me they were sending specialist mould removal people. This guy literally wandered over to Tesco to buy some own brand mould removal spray and asked to use my cloths (which obviously then had to be binned) to try and clean it. Clearly that failed given the scale of the issue and after smearing it all over the place and ruining my cloths, he then helped himself to my hoover and stupidly tried to hoover up gunky chunks of mould causing more damage to my personal property.There's a thousand other stories I could tell including them refusing to tell me where the meters for the property were so that I could take readings (on move in day they told me their inventory people had taken them and they would be sent to me - this turned out to be a lie), nor would they give me a key to my own letterbox for over THREE months. Turns out the meters were inside a locked cupboard that I needed a code for but despite finally getting access thanks to a neighbour, I still couldn't even set up my own electric bill as I needed the letters inside the postbox to do so. I left as soon as the break clause kicked in because I was making myself ill with the stress of dealing with them. I also knew they were going to act up and try and scam me out of my security deposit when I left. The flat was given back to them in pristine condition, and a thousand times better than it was given to me in, so they had zero authority to try anything but I was one step ahead just in case. I also got in contact with the LL behind their back and let her know everything that was actually going on without her knowledge. Turns out she hated them too.Quite literally the worst company I've ever encountered.(Just want to add that Gina was the only person I encountered who was ever polite but sadly I didn't meet her until the point I was leaving!)

J D Wood deliver quick tenant find …

Our flat had been on the market with another leading agency for a while but we’d not received any response. It was amazing to see Tushar work to get the property listed and the J D Wood team turn it around within a week or so to get a tenant in. Super quick and efficient. Whole process was very smooth and professional.
