TrustpilotGreat Lettings Support Centre
As a landlord, the Lettings Support team at the Docklands & City branch genuinely exceeded my expectations. Bryan Norton Crail in particular was brilliant in a) securing a buildings insurance claim for a leaking pipe and b) holding the management company to account and getting them to accept responsibility.

Trustpilot5 Star Agents!
It started on a viewing with James who was different from other agents, he wasn’t pushy and didn’t try and sell me the property we viewed, even though it was clear I liked it and subsequently made an offer - James was disarmingly honest and knowledgeable and booked me in with Jake for an appraisal on my own house. Jake, the Wandsworth branch’s manager, was very impressive. Unlike the other big agents who also appraised my house, Jake was more interested in my situation and helping me achieve what I needed, than just getting me to sign his sales terms and sell as quick as possible! This I found refreshing and I chose to instruct Jake based on this and his obvious ability. Once I had instructed John D Wood to sell my house, the service I got was second to none! Whenever I called there was always someone charming on hand to speak to and although my situation was not at all straight-forward and I am sure I was quite a difficult client for them, I was always made to feel like the centre of the property universe. When it came to results John D Wood were very driven and did not let a tough market stop them from sourcing me a great buyer. Shae, another member of their sales team, was a complete star in sourcing my buyer who, to put it simply set a price per square foot record on my road! More importantly than this, Shae's buyer was perfect for my house and I know they will have many years of happiness there.Overall, if you are selling or buying in Wandsworth, Jake, Shae and James should be your first point of call.

TrustpilotI recommend these guys to anyone who listens!
I’ve worked with Rupert, Ellie & Zara at the Notting Hill branch of John D Wood for a number of years. It’s so refreshing to work with agents that really care about the entire letting process & not just getting the contract signed! Their due diligence is second to none & they actually do what they say they are going to do! I recommend these guys to anyone who listens because it’s hard to find people like this in the industry.

The Battersea Team were brilliant to deal with in the sale of our property. Fred in particular was fantastic to deal with throughout the sale process. As we were immigrating to New Zealand during the sale process and had departed the UK after accepting an offer but before exchange of contracts, Fred was exceptional with providing feedback and assisting us when opposite time zones were a challenge. I would have no hesitation recommending John D Wood to other sellers in Battersea and a big thanks to Fred for all his help!

TrustpilotMy thanks to the Wimbledon team
My thanks to the Wimbledon team for marketing and selling my property. They were professional, efficient and very pleasant to deal with. During this difficult selling time they did everything they could to make the process work as smoothly as possible. They marketed the property quickly and accurately, managed the viewing without a single problem and sold the property. Warren Appleton and Adrian Seabrook were my main contacts and I could not have been given better service. I would recommend them to anyone wishing to sell their property.

TrustpilotJaw-droppingly useless
To describe the agents of the Wandsworth branch of John D Wood as 'incompetent' is to do that word a disservice. Their inability to do even the most basic elements of their job would be hysterically funny if you were not the one to bear the brunt of their idiocy. From the moment I moved in as a tenant to when landlord sold the house, any interaction with John D Wood would leave me agog at how utterly useless and unnecessarily aggressive they were at their jobs. They treated us tenants as though we were pests and an annoying inconvenience. Their bias towards our landlord wasn't hidden, and we were lucky that we had a good relationship with him that CCing him into our communications with John D Wood would lead to a solution to whatever we were trying to sort out. They surpassed themselves in incompetency when our landlord sold our house. "24 hours notice for viewings? Nah, we'll just turn up with interested buyers when we want." I came home early from work one day to find viewers ALONE IN THE HOUSE who said that the agent had "just left". Said agent also insisted that we allow the eventual buyers bring their family around on a day to view that we had said multiple times that we could not accommodate, making a viewing appointment and not turning up to the viewing, leaving me to deal with the frustrated would-be viewers. But a standout communication from this agent was when we emailed our concerns about potentially not being able to move should a national lockdown occur and being told that we were "being unnecessarily hysterical" and being "ensnared by media speculation". Upon that, we decided to leave sooner than we had planned, which turned out to be a couple of days before lockdown happened.There is also no internal communication between agents and a lot of buck-passing from what I can gather. TL;DR John D Wood's agents are incompetent, useless at their jobs, aggressive and dismissive to tenants, will not reply to communications from tenants, but will harass tenants almost hourly if they want something done "ASAP". Avoid at all costs if you are looking to rent, and be wary if you are a landlord/looking to sell.

I had a great experience with Paris from Notting Hill. He really went the extra mile to help me secure a flat, and even when things got complicated, he handled everything calmly and efficiently.

TrustpilotChiswick Lettings Team
Laura and her team in the Chiswick Rental offices went the extra mile in advising us on every aspect of finding a new tenant for our property including help with plumbers, decorators and removals and most importantly in finding us a good selection of prospective new tenants to choose from. A very hands on operation with excellent customer service and support.

TrustpilotExcellent service from start to finish!
I'd like to thank the whole team at John D Wood in South Kensington and in particular Umar and Angelo for introducing a buyer and working together with all parties (solicitors, managing agents, freeholders, buyer and vendor) in a friendly, personalised and dedicated way from start to finish. Although the whole process - from offer and sales memorandum till exchange of contracts and completion of the sale at the agreed price - took approximately 12 weeks, Umar and Angelo have always kept me informed of every single step towards achieving a successful sale. It was often just a text or quick phone call - even on a Sunday - which kept me motivated throughout the process. I believe that with John D Wood I have been in very good hands and would therefore highly recommend them.

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.
