First time buyer - Andrina Craig

First time buyer - just completed on the purchase and have moved in.My experience with Andrina Craig of John D Woods had been outstanding from start to finish. She was warm and personable, in which I felt comfortable in being honest with her regarding my thoughts and questions. She assisted me with all queries from the very start, in which I had many as you’d expect from a first time buyer. Andrina had made my experience a highly pleasant one in which I felt reassured until the end. I honestly am so thankful that she was in charge of my property purchase. Now that it’s completed, I can be genuine with this review. Andrina was amazing. I don’t really know what else to say. I will be recommending John D Woods to my peers for the foreseeable future - specifically Andrina Craig. Thank you so much for your help, I wish you all the best.Ki

Such a terrible experience!

We have had such a bad experience with John D Wood in Battersea. Their lettings team doesn’t respond to e-mails, paperwork is done incorrectly, keys for our house weren’t accounted for. The management of this office is equally as diabolical and I would steer clear of using them in any capacity.

Great Experience

I had a great experience with Bryan Norton Crail during my tenancy with John D Wood. He was always professional, responsive, and genuinely helpful throughout my time at the property. Bryan consistently communicated clearly and handled every enquiry with care and efficiency. I really appreciated his support and the smooth service provided from start to finish. Highly recommended.

Do NOT rent with John D Woods in London…

Do NOT rent with John D Woods in London (specifically Notting Hill). For most of my tenancy I was left without an oven and a bathroom door. They have been extremely rude and aggressive on the phone & I never received any compensation or empathy for not having an oven to cook. Or a bathroom door in a studio flat... But most importantly - I left the property a year ago and STILL have not received my deposit back. They do not reply to email or provide answers on the phone - always saying they will investigate. Please please can someone get in touch to send me the deposit, I have nearly £2,000 stuck with John D Woods.

David Main was absolutely amazing. He sold our flat really quickly and was calm and efficient during the whole process. He went above and beyond providing photocopies of documents and pushing the process along. I only wish I’d come to him earlier rather than wasting time with other agents. I can’t recommend him enough. Anna and Henry.

Luke Hewens has been a delight to work with as we have gone through our search for a new place to live. Sensitive to our needs, relaxed and efficient, honest and straightforward, and true to his word. It has made what can be a very stressful process really very manageable. You can't ask for a better service. Thanks Luke.

Great overall experience with John D Wood Fulham

Great overall experience when renting a flat in Fulham through John D Wood.Eduard Popa was extremely helpful with my flat search. He was able to address all questions about the property I was inquiring about in a very professional and reliable manner.Finding a flat in February 2022 when most companies and universities are asking people to come back to London had become an impossible mission, taking most of my evenings and weekends.I walked into John D Wood at 10am on a Saturday, and by 2.30pm, my offer had been accepted and one week deposit paid to secure the property. Eduard removed the property from the website in front of me to avoid any future misunderstandings. The rest of the team were really helpful in the following days as we worked through the references process and the tenancy agreement.Eduard, Abigail and Lola, a team of superstars at John D Wood Fulham!I definitely recommend this team to anyone looking for a flat in Fulham.

Friendly and professional

We were able to sell our flat despite the difficult property market. The agents from John D Wood were extremely professional, knowledgeable, and followed up quickly with updates and other tasks. They were always polite and helpful and we’d use them again.

I had a fantastic experience with David and the Docklands team. They were professional, approachable, and incredibly helpful throughout. As a first-time renter, I was a bit unsure of the process, but they made everything feel simple and completely stress-free.

Excellent Service over 3 years of a London rental

Thank you John D Wood for providing a fantastic service for the last 3 years when I rented a flat from one of your landlords. From the first inquiry, viewing, communications and paperwork, the process was smooth and easy. I didn't feel pressured or rushed, but supported by the Wandsworth Common branch (initially Olivia). The team were proactive to provide any paperwork I asked for. JDW provided their end-to-end management. Any requests, issues or special requests were accommodated for quickly. Thank you to the maintenance and operations team in Nottingham for your initial introduction, quick responses and support throughout the contract. When an engineer visit was required, the contractors you used were professional, friendly and respectful. And when the assigned property manager moved into another role, he proactively contacted me to let me know and introduced my new point-of-contact. These little but important touches make all the difference. I felt at home. So did my 3 kids. After the first two years, I then extended the contract - which again was an easy process. When the time came for me to leave, Tom (Wandsworth Common) was helpful and friendly - Thank you, Tom. The inventory check/deposit return took a little longer than I hoped but all the paperwork, outstanding queries and matters were cleared up very quickly by the Richmond office (thank you, Armela for your attention to my account and your updates - much appreciated) Overall, very happy with the service I received and in 11 months time when my current tenancy agreement ends, you'll be the first agents I get in touch with.

Becca is a star.

Becca is a star.I have recently rented a flat in London via JDW team. Bec has showed us the flat and answered all my detailed questions in every step with very detailed answers. She handled all our concerns during the conveyancing process with delicacy. She always came up with the best solutions to the problems and pleased both parties until the day we signed. Thank you Bec for such a smooth process.

A very good experience with Kate

Seamless - that's how it felt when Kate Martin helped me find a new home. She's thorough, considerate, super knowledgeable and gave really great advice. She really is brilliant to deal with and I can't recommend her enough.

Individual excellence let down by lazy communication and poor tenant management

While there are pockets of excellent service and friendly staff at JDW, overall our tenancy management experience was “hands off” at best and irresponsibly poor at worst. We had multiple managing agents throughout our three year tenancy, but nobody bothered to inform us when our point of contact would change, I only found out when emails would bounce. The landlord even switched away from agent management and nobody bothered to tell me that either. When I’d call for tenancy queries our initial managing agents were helpful, but others almost made me feel as if I was inconveniencing them. This isn’t to take away from great letting agents and certain great staff, but overall experience and keeping tenants informed leaves a lot to be desired.

Great Lettings Support Centre

As a landlord, the Lettings Support team at the Docklands & City branch genuinely exceeded my expectations. Bryan Norton Crail in particular was brilliant in a) securing a buildings insurance claim for a leaking pipe and b) holding the management company to account and getting them to accept responsibility.

I recommend these guys to anyone who listens!

I’ve worked with Rupert, Ellie & Zara at the Notting Hill branch of John D Wood for a number of years. It’s so refreshing to work with agents that really care about the entire letting process & not just getting the contract signed! Their due diligence is second to none & they actually do what they say they are going to do! I recommend these guys to anyone who listens because it’s hard to find people like this in the industry.

The Battersea Team were brilliant to deal with in the sale of our property. Fred in particular was fantastic to deal with throughout the sale process. As we were immigrating to New Zealand during the sale process and had departed the UK after accepting an offer but before exchange of contracts, Fred was exceptional with providing feedback and assisting us when opposite time zones were a challenge. I would have no hesitation recommending John D Wood to other sellers in Battersea and a big thanks to Fred for all his help!

Jaw-droppingly useless

To describe the agents of the Wandsworth branch of John D Wood as 'incompetent' is to do that word a disservice. Their inability to do even the most basic elements of their job would be hysterically funny if you were not the one to bear the brunt of their idiocy. From the moment I moved in as a tenant to when landlord sold the house, any interaction with John D Wood would leave me agog at how utterly useless and unnecessarily aggressive they were at their jobs. They treated us tenants as though we were pests and an annoying inconvenience. Their bias towards our landlord wasn't hidden, and we were lucky that we had a good relationship with him that CCing him into our communications with John D Wood would lead to a solution to whatever we were trying to sort out. They surpassed themselves in incompetency when our landlord sold our house. "24 hours notice for viewings? Nah, we'll just turn up with interested buyers when we want." I came home early from work one day to find viewers ALONE IN THE HOUSE who said that the agent had "just left". Said agent also insisted that we allow the eventual buyers bring their family around on a day to view that we had said multiple times that we could not accommodate, making a viewing appointment and not turning up to the viewing, leaving me to deal with the frustrated would-be viewers. But a standout communication from this agent was when we emailed our concerns about potentially not being able to move should a national lockdown occur and being told that we were "being unnecessarily hysterical" and being "ensnared by media speculation". Upon that, we decided to leave sooner than we had planned, which turned out to be a couple of days before lockdown happened.There is also no internal communication between agents and a lot of buck-passing from what I can gather. TL;DR John D Wood's agents are incompetent, useless at their jobs, aggressive and dismissive to tenants, will not reply to communications from tenants, but will harass tenants almost hourly if they want something done "ASAP". Avoid at all costs if you are looking to rent, and be wary if you are a landlord/looking to sell.
