TrustpilotHannah was honest
Hannah was honest, up front and good humoured. Told me exactly what to expect in rental and succeeded in doing so. No lies or false promises. Got me an excellent tenant, good remuneration and long tenancy with prospect of further renewal. March/April 2026

TrustpilotAs someone local to the area
As someone local to the area, I had a really good experience with the Notting Hill branch. Paris was great to deal with, super switched on, easygoing, and clearly knows the neighbourhood well. Everything was handled smoothly and communication was always clear.

TrustpilotNo no-obligation market appraisal
Lisa Knight, Head of Sales in the Beckenham branch posted a letter to me dated the 17th February. It said, “If you would like to arrange a no-obligation market appraisal, please do not hesitate to get in touch..” I rang the office and made an appointment for the 7th of March. I was clear that I was not putting the house on the market right now. Fifteen minutes before the appointment on the 7th March Lisa rang and asked if I still wanted a market appraisal and I said, “Yes, please.” I am in my 70s and had spent days tidying and rearranging furniture! Lisa arrived at the door and I took her around the house but she didn’t measure the rooms, which surprised me. She said it was a unique house and she couldn’t give me an off the cuff appraisal so would Monday do. I don’t have an English accent but I have lived in the UK since Harold Macmillan was Prime Minister so I am aware when someone is taking the micky but let it pass. In the past estate agents have valued this house without the passive aggressive tones I’m now feeling. I said that would be fine. I am not thinking of selling this house right now but at my age who knows what the future will bring? My family were interested in knowing and they will likely be dealing with selling it. Lisa did not send me an appraisal or reply to the short email I sent her at Monday close of business. She didn’t note anything during the entire visit but I am a trusting soul and thought it would be general. I get letters all the time from estate agents, including today, as the road is convenient. Countrywide Estate Agents must be very aggressive with their employees if Lisa found my request so insulting.

My experience at John D Wood with Oliver was amazing. He went above and beyond to assist me with my move. He was always available when ever I has questions or needed assistance. I would highly recommend working with him.

TrustpilotVery good experience
I know the area well and had a really good experience with the Notting Hill team. Paris was easy to deal with, knowledgeable, and clearly understands the local market. The whole process felt straightforward and well managed. Would happily recommend.

TrustpilotHigh 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.

TrustpilotGreat 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

Really solid experience with the Notting Hill branch. Paris was great to deal with and made sure everything ran smoothly. Always easy to reach, friendly, and on the ball. The whole process felt well handled from start to finish.

TrustpilotWithholding deposit despite contract terms, Avoid.
Terrible experience with the move-out process. Our contract states the deposit must be returned within 10 days. It has been over 20 days and John D Wood still refuse to release it because the landlord "hasn't replied." They are completely passive and take no responsibility for enforcing the contract they signed. We are now having to fight for our deposit through the TDS. Unprofessional and unhelpful.
Dear Will, thank you for sharing this feedback. We are sincerely sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations. We take these matters seriously and would like to make things right. Please contact us directly at hq@johndwood.co.uk so we can discuss this further.

TrustpilotGreat experience
Ollie was accommodating and communicative - allowed me to drop off my ID at another branch and made the experience easy for me and my partner from viewing up until move in day. Thanks Ollie from Battersea branch!

TrustpilotBrilliant 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!

TrustpilotQuick 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.

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.

TrustpilotUnprofessional, delayed response, terrible experience
To the Management Team, I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding the unacceptable service we received during our move-in process. My brother secured this tenancy by paying the security deposit and 12 months of rent in advance. Despite this significant financial commitment and the fulfillment of all our obligations, the agency failed to provide the keys on the agreed-upon date. We were left without access to the property for four days. To make matters worse, upon finally receiving the keys, we discovered there was no hot water in the flat. This meant that after a four-day delay, we were still unable to live in the property comfortably. This level of negligence is unprofessional and a clear breach of our rental agreement. I expect a formal apology and a pro-rata refund for the four days we were denied access to the property. Unbelievable service!!! Would definetely not recommend this agency....

TrustpilotDesperately waiting for the keys
It has been already two days since signing the rent agreement and paying upfront the full rent for a year yet the keys not released. I don't recommend to use JDW's services for real estate rentals. It is a total disaster and frustration. Day 3: The cupboard door is broken and there's no hot water in the house. My disappointment is at its peak. Andrea and Prue, whom I was in contact with during the rental process, unfortunately haven't responded to my calls or messages. They always had an excuse. They haven't inspected the premise once for any defects before renting it.

TrustpilotVery helpful!
I had a very positive experience with the team at John D Wood, Wimbledon Village. Although they were acting on behalf of the seller, they were consistently supportive and professional throughout the entire process. From the initial bidding stage through to completion, they helped me navigate each step clearly and efficiently, even with a challenging seller involved. Their communication was excellent, and they made what could have been a stressful experience feel much more manageable. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again, and would certainly consider using them if I were to sell my own property.

We had an excellent experience working with Charlie! From the very beginning, he really took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for, and it showed in every property he recommended. The flats he showed us were spot on, exactly what we had in mind, which made the whole process so much smoother and more enjoyable. Charlie clearly has a great instinct for matching people with the right homes. He’s knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely listens, which made us feel confident we were in good hands. We never felt pressured, just well-guided.

TrustpilotTerrible experience as a buyer
Terrible experience as a buyer, felt scammed by this agency particularly the agent called Fee. I was told various lies to try and drive the price up (which I later found out she was trying to get me to pay a further 100k to the offer they had but led me to believe the other buyer was offering similar) I was also the highest offer and last minute told they had another similar offer. Just a mess and would never go near this agency again.

TrustpilotExcellent agency
Paris has been a real pleasure to work with. He managed to fit me in for a viewing at very short notice and helped me close all formalities at impressive speed.
