Professional and helpful

Molly and her team at the Parsons Green office were very professional, helpful and pleasant to work with. From advising on the appropriate asking price, arranging multiple viewings and securing couple of offers in the first two days of the property being on the market. They were knowledgeable and assisted in navigating a stressful process, dealing with unexpected matters that came up during the conveyancing, which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend the Parsons Green office for selling a property.

5 Star Service

Worked with Opemi Mafimisebi from the Docklands office recently and it was a pleasure of working with her as I couldn’t be more impressed with the service I received. From start to finish, she handled my enquiry with professionalism and genuine care.

Exceptional professional service from initial contact through to sale. Daniel, Wai & the rest of the team have been a delight to work with selling our house; they were easy to contact, helpful & supportive to us & our buyers, as well as both sets of solicitors & agents down the chain. Rarely is the house sale process made as smooth as possible, so I would not hesitate to recommend the Oxford team to any property seller or buyer.

High level of tenant service

As tenants we have been very well looked after by Massy Eslami in the Belgravia branch. She has pro-actively sought to get to know the property, head off any issues and when there have been things needed she is extremely quick and efficient at arranging the necessary works and contractors. This is an excellent level of service and we greatly appreciate it.

Great experience

I recently worked with Paris Merico from the Notting Hill branch, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. He helped us with letting and was friendly, professional, and reliable throughout the entire process. I highly recommend him

Brilliant service

I cannot recommend Kate Martin from The Primrose Hill branch highly enough. From our very first interaction, Kate was warm, professional and really understood our needs - just an absolute pleasure to deal with, thank you!

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. He made the whole process feel simple and stress-free, which was a huge help. In the end, he helped us find a lovely apartment in Notting Hill with great landlords. Would definitely recommend him if you’re looking for a solid and efficient agent.

I had a really positive experience dealing with Ollie throughout my time with the property. He was always professional, responsive, and genuinely helpful whenever I had a question or needed assistance. Ollie communicated clearly, handled everything efficiently, and made the whole process feel straightforward and stress-free. I really appreciated his support and the level of service he provided from start to finish.

We've been renting a house for nearly 7 years with John D Wood. Our property manager, Carol, has always been very responsive, helpful and efficient with everything from the most minor issue to more complex problems. Most recently Carol managed the process of sorting two issues with windows in the property. Neither were easy problems to solve, especially given contractors are currently in short supply, but Carol was persistent and we're delighted that the work is now completed. As tenants we don’t get to choose our managing agent but we're very happy it's John D Wood.

Thank you to Massy Eslami, Property Manager at Belgrave Square

I would particularly like to commend Massy Eslami, Property Manager at Belgrave Square, who went above and beyond the call of duty in doing all sorts of extra tasks to help me when the tenant vacated my flat. As I live abroad, I very much needed and appreciated her extra commitment and assistance.

We have recently completed the sale of our 5-bedroom house, which we bought in 2010. Both transactions were conducted by John D Wood of Oxford to the very same high standards of efficiency and courtesy. Time was never wasted, we were always kept fully informed and consulted, and their judgement of the market proved to be spot-on. We would recommend their services without reservation!

We sold our house through John D Wood in October 2023. I very much enjoyed working with Daniel and the team who handled the sale with professionalism and good humour throughout. Wai Yee led on the sale and worked tirelessly from valuation through to completion. He made our move happen, and we have much to thank him for. Highly recommended.

Claire Carter = everything you'd want in an agent

A huge token of respect and appreciation for Claire Carter, who acted on our behalf through an exceptionally complicated sale. Claire demonstrated deep subject matter expertise throughout and consistently went above and beyond, navigating a whole series of challenges, any one of which could easily have put the deal in jeopardy. She showed real patience, persistence, resilience, and tenacity, and most importantly inspired complete trust, all delivered with a genuine sense of humour when it was most needed.

We have had a great experience with the team at John D Wood. We purchased a house recently and they worked hard to ensure there was a fair exchange for both the buyer and seller. A special mention for Wai Yee for his help and attention to detail on the house. Daniel and Annie showed us around a number of houses ensuring what we chose in the end was the right house for us in the coming years. Many thanks!

Sharp Decline in Service and Unauthorised Marketing, Disappointed with JD W Wood & Co Lettings

I let 2 properties through J D Wood & Co letting team in Belgravia, London SW1V since 2024. Over time the quality of services and customer care, accounting has plummeted. Rental statements are issued up to 7 days late; random fees are deducted, for example I got charged fees usually applied to overseas landlords although JDW have all my documents proving I am British, live in Britain etc. In addition although I negotiated clear cut service contract with JDW, they still apply randomly irregular fees opted out of. Then in 2024/2025 they restructured and their system went crazy with shifting the responsibility away from the local office I dealt with. I got so frustrated I terminated their agency. On the marketing side their letting team manager offered to visit and discuss potential letting of a property I have in Pimlico. Next thing I discovered that he went ahead and advertised the property to let without my approval. He even used other agents floor plans and pictures in the add! He was confronted after I was told about the advertisement by another local agent. JDW withdrew the advertisement and I have refused to deal with them since.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS

If I could give 0 stars I would.I've rented 10 years in London and I have honestly NEVER been treated so awfully or experienced such unprofessional conduct. I truly wish I'd read all these reviews before I accepted a property through them because how these people are even in business is beyond me. They are useless, lie on tap and speak down to you at every opportunity. The onboarding process itself was bad enough - they (Alexandra, Emily and Samantha) were rude throughout, moved my move in date multiple times causing me to lose money and ignored any of my queries when I tried to get clarity on what was going on. But the second they wanted an answer - or for me to pay something - they would harass me relentlessly (including when I was at a funeral, which they were well aware of at the time).The property, which for context was fairly new and modern, was then handed over to me uncleaned (i.e. black surfaces, gunk in the shower, tea stains all over the floor). In itself this was bad enough and a breach of contact on their side, but I then quickly learned the drains were completely blocked too. They left me for months unable to use my own shower as the tray was completely full by the time the water would even get warm, rendering it inaccessible (thankfully I had an alternative via the gym but no compensation or apology was given for months of no access). Throughout this, they would either ignore my emails or respond with stupid comments like 'oh I think we just need a new shower head' (?) every time I tried to chase.I eventually had a (dodgy) plumber sent round who clearly made the problem worse as despite fixing the initial 'block', the shower began leaking shortly after. A different (and this time decent) plumber managed to fix it but told them they would need to carry out follow on work as it was soaking underneath the floors and they would need taking up to dry out properly. Of course they ignored this and within weeks the flat was COVERED in furry black mould spanning across the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom.The smell was literally unbearable and they didn't bother actioning anything until I threatened to contact environmental health (not that they ever properly fixed it, just painted over it). I literally spent my own birthday sleeping freezing cold on the floor (so I could be next to the open window) just so that I could breathe outside air. I had to throw out so many of my clothes as they smelt so bad afterwards, and they had the audacity to send some btec handyman over after telling me they were sending specialist mould removal people. This guy literally wandered over to Tesco to buy some own brand mould removal spray and asked to use my cloths (which obviously then had to be binned) to try and clean it. Clearly that failed given the scale of the issue and after smearing it all over the place and ruining my cloths, he then helped himself to my hoover and stupidly tried to hoover up gunky chunks of mould causing more damage to my personal property.There's a thousand other stories I could tell including them refusing to tell me where the meters for the property were so that I could take readings (on move in day they told me their inventory people had taken them and they would be sent to me - this turned out to be a lie), nor would they give me a key to my own letterbox for over THREE months. Turns out the meters were inside a locked cupboard that I needed a code for but despite finally getting access thanks to a neighbour, I still couldn't even set up my own electric bill as I needed the letters inside the postbox to do so. I left as soon as the break clause kicked in because I was making myself ill with the stress of dealing with them. I also knew they were going to act up and try and scam me out of my security deposit when I left. The flat was given back to them in pristine condition, and a thousand times better than it was given to me in, so they had zero authority to try anything but I was one step ahead just in case. I also got in contact with the LL behind their back and let her know everything that was actually going on without her knowledge. Turns out she hated them too.Quite literally the worst company I've ever encountered.(Just want to add that Gina was the only person I encountered who was ever polite but sadly I didn't meet her until the point I was leaving!)
