Great experience working with Oliver and his team at John Payne. He was very supportive throughout the whole time of the sale, even in the period before we actually decided to go ahead, providing market updates and advice. Very …

Mauricio is outstanding!

Mauricio is an outstanding property consultant. From the beginning, he demonstrated an in-depth understanding of the market and worked diligently to understand my needs. His professionalism, attention to detail, and proactive communication made the entire process seamless. I found the perfect place thanks to Mauricio's expertise. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking a smooth and personalized property search experience.

Great experience with Blake

We will shortly be moving into our new rented property, which has been organised through Blake. We have used many of the big agents in the past, and this has been our most positive experience by far - after seeing the flat on Rightmove, Blake arranged a viewing for us within a few hours and by the next day had secured the flat for us. He has been extremely responsive whenever we have had questions, and generally everything has progressed very smoothly and quickly. We've also dealt with Sian who has also been very professional. From a tenants perspective I highly recommend.

They love wasting everyone’s time

They love wasting everyone’s time. Just rented a flat though them and they are extremely slow, we had to chaise them over 100 times to give us any updates on the status of the flat. After i have signed the contract and made the payment they wouldn’t relieve the key until I go to their office with my passport ( which was never a discussion before I made the payment) also I don’t understand why they couldn’t meet me at the property I won’t recommend them! Jayne was extremely unprofessional and slow replying to my emails!

Florica · 22 October 2020

Agent replied · 13 June 2024

Dear Florica. I am of course sorry to read your review and happy to look into the issue for you. Service levels should not have slipped noticeably during the covid pandemic but in some cases it may take a little longer to reply to emails. With regards to the passport, we do ask all tenants in our "welcome email" to attend our office with their passports. I believe an exception was made with your co-tenants, for one of them to bring in the passports, but they didn't bring yours. Again, sorry that you were not completely satisfied with the service you received. Thanks. Andrew Roberts - Customer Relations Manager

I would have no hesitation in recommending JW Wood, Darlington. I was motivated to secure a particular property. Hannah has been fantastic to deal with, reliable, efficient and when she says she will do something, she does it. Darlington is a very competitive area for estate agents and JW Wood are a real stand out player for me.

So pleased we decided to use J W Woods. All the staff have been extremely helpful with our logistically difficult sale, and have gone the extra mile to make everything as straightforward as possible; from the first meeting with Gary to arranging and attending viewings through Kerry and Sandrine and ultimately to an incredibly quick sale. I would absolutely recommend them.

5 stars.Jonathan was amazing with our recent house hunt. He listened to our brief and called us as soon as a property was available - we saw it before it was even online which gave us an edge against the competition viewing. It was exactly what we were after and we put in an offer straight away. It's not often you find an estate agent that listens to your brief AND follows the process right through to exchange, but Jonathan did it all and was invaluable to us. He kept us calm during the stress of solicitors etc and helped chase up all relevant parties which really is above and beyond. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone house hunting / looking to sell their property, for a great service with a smile!

Okay, but could certainly improve.

A solid if not great estate agent. They know the SE London area well and the fact they can utilise their customer base across their branches is a positive.Initially very eager to get the flat on the market and take our business; very confident of a quick sale but when viewings failed to convert into offers for the first couple of months, updates were infrequently offered despite chasing. That said, once an offer did materialise our account manager Leon was very good in handling the process on our behalf and remained available for any other questions we had until the process concluded.

My husband and I would like to thank Mauricio for the immense help towards finding our flat. He and Sian did a meticulous job through the renting process. I appreciate the level of professionalism and dedication put towards their job. I would highly recommend these agents in case of finding a perfect home. Thanks to the entire team for performing a wonderful job.

I have mixed feelings about my experience with acorn because it's not nice having to judge the company due to one member of staff behaviour. Fair enough a ccj was found on my file but as soon as the ccj came up the staff responsible for my case became uninterested, stopped returning and picking my calls. I had to track him down through the company phone. He basically did not care. Bare in mind my deposit money is still with the company. After a few days of receiving completely air from the agent, I gave up and wanted and requested for my money back. There was no need to get rude to them because im sure thats what they expected but the level of professionalism was -0! My partner and myself was extremely appalled. I had to leave and find another lettings agency elsewhere.

JW Wood have been excellent at marketing our property and consulting with us about viewings and offers. I would definitely use them again and would particularly recommend Sandrine Tondusson who supported us inexperienced house sellers throughout the process.

Charlotte made the moving process so straightforward and she was very empathic towards my situation, I had to move out of the property due to splitting with my ex-partner, but considering I didn't have alot of hassle moving due to Charlotte's help and recommendation to what she thought would be suitable to me helped alot.
