Working with Emily to find our family home has been effortless. We’re moving from Australia back to the UK with our small family, and she has made the process so easy. I couldn’t recommend her enough

5/5
We have just completed the rental process for a house with Northwood and Jade, Kelly and Elizabeth have been nothing but friendly and helpful with all our queries, which is definitely what you need during such a stressful time! Our initial tenant checks went through in under a day and they have been good at keeping us updated with each stage in the process.
Thanks Rachel

Amateurs! no one follows up, they take a million of personal details about you that they don't actually need and don't follow up when you ask specific questions after house viewings- not professional, would not trust these guys one bit. Go elsewhere, plenty more estate agents more interested in your custom.NegativeResponsiveness, Professionalism
The information we ask for is generally what agents request and it helps us to refine the search for you on properties we are advertising. We have been facing an extremely busy time at the moment, but we work very hard as a team to respond to all emails and phone calls including requests for information.
