GoogleThe staff at JDW is excellent- effective, competent, and their communication with the landlords is direct. I’ve had their support for almost 20 years, and would never change.

GoogleAbsolute Joke of an agent. Here are things they did wrong"
1. Never gave us a check in inventory
2. Removed a lot of left over rubbish from the previous tenant and then tried to charge us for it when we moved out
3. Never gave us a check out inventory
4. Took weeks to reply to issues
5. With held our deposit for no reason apart from, "they couldnt" get hold of the landlord and they need to agree to release it"
We ended up going through the courts and got it all back as there was zero reason to withhold it.
AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE
Only the leasing agent, Pina, was competent and nice.

TrustpilotProperty 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

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.

GoogleJohn D Wood (JDW) in Primrose Hill have been my letting agent since 2008. For several years now, Kate Martin (branch manager) has been my letting agent in the office. She’s a big part of why I have stayed with JDW. I’m not a professional landlord and Kate has made being a landlord a lot easier! She takes the time to explain changes in the relevant legislation, and to help me be compliant as a landlord. If I need something repaired or installed, she always has an excellent recommendations for third-party (independent providers), who I frequently recommend to other owners. Kate knows the local rental market extremely well and has found great tenants and achieved the best rents for me. She has always dealt with any queries from my tenants in a speedy and professional manner. I would definitely recommend JDW to other landlords and Kate Martin as your letting agent. 5-star service.

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.
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.

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.

TrustpilotDON'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.
