TrustpilotSale of flat in the Fulham area…
I sold a flat in the Fulham area through the John D Wood team in Parsons Green/ Fulham Broadway. For various reasons (outside control of John D Wood or myself), this was a long, drawn-out sales process. I have to say that John D Wood team was at all times professional, responsive and went above and beyond to get the sale done and completed. I would certainly recommend John D Wood to my friends and contacts.

I have been working with Shoeni and the team for 10yrs with nothing but efficient helpful knowledgeable assistance. Love them! Love they are local and established in the ‘hood. I’ve worked with sales too and can’t say enough nice things about working with Jake and his sales crew.

TrustpilotHorrible experience with this agency
Horrible experience with this agency. I am currently living in a 3 bed flat in Fulham where one of the bedroom ceiling has collapsed and for last 2 months the agency has been slow, practically unresponsive and simply rude. They treat tenants with such disdain it’s shocking. Do not use this company

Dear Ify Thank you for your getting in touch and we are of course understandably disappointed to hear this. We can see that the Senior Head of Property Management has been in touch and is currently in correspondence, alongside the Property Manager to help resolve this matter.RegardsJohn D Wood & Co.

TrustpilotAlessandro Lucatello, John D Wood & Co PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
Alessandro Lucatello, Head of Property Management at John D Wood, does an exceptional job. He always goes above & beyond to ensure my needs & wishes - as a landlord - are met. This includes personally overseeing projects on my property - something he could easily delegate but chooses to see things through for himself. He's amazing - & so are his staff who have looked after me for many, many years now. I can't recommend John D Wood for your Property Management needs, more highly. First class - always!

TrustpilotSelling with JDW Summertown
We highly recommend prospective sellers to consider JDW in Summertown. Our experience has been first class and the JDW service was highly professional right from the start - realistic estimate of house value, knowledge of the local market and how to maximise our sale price and managing our anxieties and expectations throughout the whole lengthy process to completion. The team were always professional, responsive and friendly and definitely worked hard to help us achieve our sale. They managed everything - EPC, flattering professional photographs included as part of the service, all the very many viewings, right through to chasing solicitors and other parties all along the chain to achieve completion. If you are considering selling your home, then do consider calling Daniel or Wai at JDW.

Claire Carter (based at the Weybridge branch) handled my purchase from start to finish and was exceedingly efficient. I was on a very tight timeline yet she saw no reason as to why we could not complete on time and she held true to her word. She chased deadlines when needs be and kept me informed immediately of any requests for information or any news.I never had to chase her for an answer to any question I had and I hugely appreciated her transparency throughout the process. I cannot recommend her and the agency enough.

TrustpilotIncredibly rude staff
I rented a property that was part managed by John D Wood. The service was just awful - whenever we wanted something done with any urgency, they never responded. As soon as they wanted something, we'd receive really abrupt and quite rude emails demanding that we respond immediately. The tone of all staff was rude and often accusatory. I still have no idea what the landlord paid them for as they didn't manage the property as we dealt with all the maintenance issues.

TrustpilotAverage performance
A recent new tenant who turned out to be very pleasant was found very quickly. The previous Tenancy Find was supposed to be for two tenants in the flat whereas in fact there were three and I was not happy about that.

GoogleFinding myself needing a property at short notice I registered with every letting agent in Lymington and John D Wood - in particular Alex Evans was the only one to actively bother getting in touch with potential properties before posting on Rightmove. I would definitely recommend their services.

TrustpilotExcellent Experience
John D Wood & Co. recently helped me to sell my property and I found them extremely professional and very helpful. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble and when a storm took down a tree and demolished the hedge, they immediately got a chap along to sort it out.Their communication regarding feedback from potential buyers was superb. I never had to chase them for information and I would recommend them to anyone wishing to sell a property.

GoogleJohn D Wood recently sold our house in Lymington this January 2019. The advice and service we received from Adam Darbyshire who negotiated our sale was excellent. I have no hesitation in recommending this firm. They get results in a competitive market. Thanks again to Adam , Oliver and all at the Lymington office Mr and Mrs R

GoogleAdam and Amanda did a great job, from putting our flat on the market they achieved a sale within a month. They handled the whole process extremely efficiently keeping us well informed of the whole process up to exchange and completion contracts. Many many thanks, what a great team who really understand the local market.

TrustpilotDishonourable
After we had our offer accepted Sally Behan in Weybridge called to tell us we had been gazumped. We increased our offer above asking price but were told they wouldn’t sell to us. Turns out when the seller found out our name they decided not to sell to us for ‘personal reasons’When pushed about ‘personal reasons’ she then said that there was actually a cash buyer who offered asking price. That property remained on the market for 5 weeks after that before it said under offer. Friends of mine were able to call and make viewings during this time. Disappointing that a company owned by Skipton Building Society would behave like this. The honourable thing to do would be stop acting for the seller but the commission was clearly more important.

TrustpilotAgent not trustworthy
I was told John D Wood (Primrose Hill) were a well respected local agency with whom I could sell my property, and they seem, on the surface, very professional. But I grew to dread calls from my allocated agent - a smooth talking, cocky young man - he seemed to constantly be on the side of the buyer, not mine. He told a couple of utter lies about offers coming in, he had a total lack of attention to detail, and eventually I ended up moving to a different agency where I had a much more pleasant experience. They may be on prime Primrose Hill high street, and have lovely properties for sale, but do not let that fool you! I just did not trust them. Go elsewhere.

TrustpilotNot valued as a buyer
We had a really stressful time as a buyer with JDW Esher. Details of the conditions of our offer we’re not passed onto vendor at all; when confronted with this when the transaction was at risk, it was glossed over / denied. We were also told a delayed completion was ‘impossible’. We ended up dealing direct with vendor, with a delayed completion, without issue. Got the feeling JDW were happy for us to lose out and simply switch to another buyer.

TrustpilotTerrible experience- J D Wood Summertown
Terrible experience dealing with the Letting team in OxfordI wanted to rent an apartment in Summertown, the lady agent has been extremely unprofessional, instead of solving my issues, this agent was rude and asked for the same information twice. Whenever I have a question, she would just shoot me down without checking with the landlord. She has been impolite and maybe she didn't think I am not a capable tenant - I ended up paying double for a nicer apartment!

TrustpilotTerrible experience with the manager at John D Wood Southfields
Terrible experience with the manager at the Southfields branch. To call him arrogant would be an understatement!I have now sold and bought property through this branch. Dealing with the same agent each time. I would rather give my property away than ever use him again.If he asked a question he expected an answer immediately. sometimes calling twice in one day and following up with emails. Bullying tactics and bickering with me over any decision that didn't suit him. He has no idea how to treat customers and suspect he has no one supervising his behavior. He's a disgrace to any company and should work in a back room where he has no contact with customers.

TrustpilotI wanted to give minus for the score
I wanted to give minus for the score, but I guess 1 is the lowest score permitted. I was looking for the room to rent, and finally found very nice flat. Before I can rent the room, I had to go through referencing process which was quite traumatic. They had the problem with my current landlord referencing; though I had provided my landlord's contact and they can make the direct contact to my landlord, they kept asking me for the document I didn't have. As the result, they changed the referencing platform and asked me to fill the landlord contact and my employer contact again. This time, they had the problem with contacting my employer (The funny thing was that they requested me to fill the form in evening and expected my employer to answer right away in the morning). Apart from that, unless they demand something from you, they will unlikely answer your e-mail. To be honest, this company treated me like I was begging to live in the room for free. On the bright side, I am glad that this is just for renting the room, not for buying the property. If you are the landlord or tenant, please stay away from this agency for your own good.

TrustpilotHigh calibre agents
I'm the landlord of a family-owned flat in Chelsea, and have used JDW for our last two tenancies.Initially, it was clear that Ed had a better knowledge of our neighbourhood than the other agents we tried. Given JDW's reputation, their fees were more reasonable than we expected - yet surprisingly the asking price was higher. It was a no-brainer, and more surprisingly, they managed to secure this higher level of rent, rather than it being a pitch just to win the business. When it came time to find new tenants, they again exceeded our expectations by securing (in the pandemic) 12 months advance rent at nearly the same rate.I wouldn't use JDW for management purposes as they seemed slightly inefficient (perhaps as all agents are?) when they organised our EICR. Aside from this, Ed has always had time on the phone to discuss anything from particularities to the state of the market - and his experience shows. Furthermore, his lettings team are very friendly and on the ball.Highly recommended.
