My partner and I have recently moved to St. Albans and have had the pleasure of working with Northwood Estate Agents, who made our move a positive, friendly and well-supported experience. In particular, Lenka guided us through the process, providing us all the much needed information and overall facilitating a smooth transition to our new home. We look forward to working with them throughout our time at St. Albans and feel confident in knowing that they will remain supportive and helpful during our time here.

Very friendly and considerate letting agents. We had a whirlwind experience with Northwoods, Giovanni initially took us around the property, my partner and I were enamoured with it. Unfortunately for sad incident happened at the property outside the control of either us, the landlord or the agents the property just a week before we were due to move in. Giovanni and the wider Northwoods team went out of their way to put our minds at ease. Even putting up with our abnormal requests. We thank them for their patience on the matter. Unfortunately there wasnt a suitable property on the Northwoods roster at the time but I would certainly recommend renting with them! Thank you once again Giovanni!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

5/5
Very pleased with Northwood, which had great location listed, as well as brilliant agents, most notably Essy, who's been extremly helpful in every step of the way. We've visited a first property with him, that unfortunately got secured by another candidate, but Essy diligently took notes of our needs. When a new property was about to be listed, he swiftly recommend it to us, and it indeed fit perfectly the bill. He then accompanied us through the whole application process, advising us on each step and provided us with helpful information along the way. I'm very impressed with how above and beyond he went and I'm very grateful to him for that. Thank you very much!
