TrustpilotDeposit nightmare solved
We have recently had to move during COVID. It was incredibly stressful and made worse when we found ourselves unable to access our deposit back through no fault of our own. At first I was not happy with the responses I was getting until Rupert Simmonds stepped in. He went above and beyond to cut through red tape and help us to get our deposit back in full. Rupert is a credit to John D Wood!

TrustpilotReally bad when it comes to services
Really bad when it comes to services. My deposit is stuck with them for more than 2 months. Always some lame excuse for not paying back.
There is an property manager named Moesha, who will never address any query but will just be harsh
I hope to give below 1 star but that the least i can go.

Claire has been excellent in helping us find a rental properly from abroad. She was super flexible with our requirements and timing and always kept us in the loop once we found the property. She did an extra video viewing and asked many questions to current tenants on our behalf. I would highly recommend Claire and her team and if were to rent again would definitely use them!

TrustpilotDO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE!
This company make an appearance of disorganization, but could not possible stay in business, if they were, indeed, as disorganized as they appear. Having managed to fend me off for three days whilst I was house-hunting in France; I finally found that the gem of a house I had found - in Perpignan - was taken off the market; in order that it could be purchased by a relative of one of the partners/directors of John D Wood. Worse than inefficient and unprofessional ... very close to fraudulent! DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE!

I rented a property which was managed by this company. The agents made promises they did not meet and the management agents are extremely poor. There was a flood and the information provided by the company turned out to be in accurate so they have refused to reimburse me for the hotel and all costs. I have had to instruct my lawyers to start a court process.

I would thoroughly recommend John D Wood's Earls Court office - being involved in any property purchase/sale is generally a pretty stressful experience but Sophie (Ling) and Fee (Henderson) have guided me through the labrynth of paperwork and processes with great professionalism and expertise and most importantly kept me calm whenever I began to panic about something! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

GoogleMy Husband and I have recently moved to the UK and wanted to find a property to rent in the Lymington area - all the staff at John D Wood have been remarkable in assisting us.
They have been friendly, patient and very professional at all times. Alex assisted us with the property we are currently in and we love it. Bonnie has been particularly helpful and we will definitely use John D Wood again. Thank You all.

GoogleI recently bought a buy to let a buy to let property in Lymington and researched other letting agents before deciding to use JD Wood. Kat and her team could not have been more helpful and they patiently dealt with any queries I had promptly and professionally. They found a tenant very quickly and I have always been paid on time. I would highly recommend the JD Wood letting team for a hassle free experience.

TrustpilotAvoid at any cost
If I could give zero I will!
Awful experience starting from when they gave me the keys and then literally disappeared!
Then the inventory was totally different from what I found in the house and when I contacted them they said contact the landlord we can’t do anything! Glad that the landlord was cooperative.
Now after leaving the house it took them 10 days to send me the inventory checkout and I called them everyday and they gave a different story every day!
Now I have been chasing the deposit for 1 month!
Literally awful experience, avoid at any cost.

GoogleI much appreciate the professionalism and support I have received from Adam Darbyshire in the sale of my mother's house. He was clear and business-like from the outset, and also visited my mother in her care home to discuss things directly with her. Efficiency with a human face. Many thanks, Martin R.Hamilton-Farrell

TrustpilotGreat result and lovely to deal with
The John D Wood team in Herne Hill led by Sarah Dirilen did a brilliant job on my sale and I couldn't recommend them more highly. They achieved a really great result having found several suitable prospective buyers and multiple offers, and all quicker than I expected. The whole team were excellent - very responsive and available, professional and a pleasure to deal with throughout.

TrustpilotWorst treatment
As a tenant by Vanet Asset Property Management (part of the John D Wood & Co Group), my comments for them are: just terrible!Such a bad treatment from one single agency. Staff turnover is extremely high, different agent each month. No issue log whatsoever, so you need to call them daily to make sure whoever picks up your case, will have the details. So many incidents where we thought our issue was progressing and being resolved, while in reality it wasn't!Forgetting/ignoring tasks, not even when it comes to deposit.Interesting to see what kind of training their agents go through? Do they know how to keep log of issues?Sorry but this is unacceptable treatment.
