Withholding deposit despite contract terms, Avoid.

Terrible experience with the move-out process. Our contract states the deposit must be returned within 10 days. It has been over 20 days and John D Wood still refuse to release it because the landlord "hasn't replied."

Very helpful!

I had a very positive experience with the team at John D Wood, Wimbledon Village. Although they were acting on behalf of the seller, they were consistently supportive and professional throughout the entire process. From the initial bidding stage through to completion, they helped me navigate each step clearly and efficiently, even with a challenging seller involved.

Property buying transaction…

I completed a flat buying transaction with David, Simon and team from John D. Wood Earl's Court LondonDavid and team were responsive and well understood my property expectations from startI 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

Initially, my wife and I employed two estate agents to sell our flat, John D Wood and another national agent. It was soon clear which was best, and as a result, we closed our account with the other agent, and employed John D Wood as sole agent. It is a decision about which we have no regrets. We are full of praise for the team at the Cadogan Street Branch. All the staff there were very friendly, attentive, and efficient, and worked hard on our behalf, regularly bringing prospective buyers to view our flat. In particular, the Manager Russell Williamson gave us a great amount of personal attention. We would employ John D Wood if we have to make another move.

“ They Actually Looked for Solutions”

I didn’t exactly have the smoothest transition from my old home to the new one, plenty of hiccups and frustration along the way thanks to the new renting rules.

Quick and stress-free move

I had a really good experience working with Paris Merico from John D Wood & Co. while looking for a flat in Notting Hill. He was super quick, practical, and always easy to reach, replying straight away to calls and messages and really trying to sort things out fast.

AVOID JDW AT ALL COSTS

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not subject yourself to the JDW Weybridge office if you can avoid it - they have provided easily the worst service we have ever experienced. We have been renting for 3 months in a JDW managed house. There are multiple material ongoing issues from a leaking roof to broken heating and the agent does not do anything about - for months. We have a 1 year old child who is suffering constant sickness now. They have lied to us about repair parts being ordered and have not held the landlord accountable for fixing anything. Jazz Dillon is of particular incompetence. She has promised us a call with senior management and of course, radio silence.

I had an excellent experience working with Tushar at the Docklands office. He assisted me with the sale of my property. I found him to be knowledgeable, approachable, and ensured the process was significantly more efficient. I greatly appreciate his support and would highly recommend his services.

I have used a number of estate agents over the years but my experience with John D Wood & Co was by far the best. Rob Philp and Russell Williamson were highly professional, friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about the support they offered to me in relation to a sale and purchase. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

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.

Desperately waiting for the keys

It has been already two days since signing the rent agreement and paying upfront the full rent for a year yet the keys not released. I don't recommend to use JDW's services for real estate rentals. It is a total disaster and frustration.

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.

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.

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

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.
