Thank you for your thoughtful 5* review and recommendation! I will make sure your kind words are passed on to the local team. Best wishes, Lucy, Customer Relations.

Massy Eslami of John D Wood looks after my rental flat in Chelsea for which we have an annual front door inspection. She is always very helpful and highly professional ensuring that the inspection is completed.

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

TrustpilotExcellent support during a critical time
We’ve been impressed with the entire team at the Beckenham branch. Selling our parent's home to fund their residential care was a time-sensitive and emotional process, and the team guided us through it with professionalism. They were super-speedy with their responses and provided honest, invaluable advice at every step. Excellent support during such a critical time.

Tom has been an absolute pleasure to work with. His communication was clear, transparent, and efficient throughout the entire process. He kept me well-informed at every stage and was always quick to respond to any questions. His professionalism and dedication made the experience smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend!

TrustpilotGreat experience with James Mander
I’ve been renting with John D Wood for about two years now, and it has been a great experience. We recently had a slightly unsettled handover when our previous property manager left, but our new property manager, James Mander, has been absolutely fantastic always quick to help and resolving any issues as soon as possible.

TrustpilotJDW Earl’s Court (Fee Henderson)
I recently purchased a property marketed by JDW Earl’s Court and managed by Fee Henderson. Fee was v professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive. She made the entire process smooth and stress-free (as much as it could be), providing clear communication at every step. Would recommend!

TrustpilotDO NOT GO WITH THEM
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.
5/5
GoogleInitially, 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.
Thank you for your glowing 5* review and your kind words Douglas. Kind regards, Lucy, Customer Relations.

We had an amazing experience dealing with Kate Martin from the Primrose Hill branch. She really took her time with us and her knowledge of the Primrose Hill and NW London area is second to none. She would be our first call if looking for a property in this area.

TrustpilotAVOID 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.

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.
5/5
GoogleI 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.
Many thanks for the fantastic recommendation and 5* review. Kind regards, Lucy, Customer Relations.

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.

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.

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.

We had a great experience with John D Wood & Co Beckenham branch, they are far and away the best estate agents dealt with to date - reliable and speedy communication, friendly, and most importantly found us a great buyer incredibly quickly. Definitely recommend them

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.

TrustpilotJohn 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.

TrustpilotHappy Customer
I’ve been a customer of the Lettings Team in Lymington for a number of years and they have consistently been a pleasure to deal with. Always helpful, proactive and professional. I would have no hesitation in recommending their services to both landlords and tenants.

TrustpilotSuch 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.

TrustpilotFirst 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

TrustpilotGreat 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.
