TrustpilotThis company are scammers
This company are scammers, they ask for holding deposit then ask for 2yrs of rent upfront and when i told them it wasn’t possible they said they were going to issue a refund and it has been almost 3 weeks now and they haven’t issued it yett

TrustpilotParsons Green team
The Parsons Green team have been brilliant throughout my whole process of finding and securing a rented property. From the first phone call to them, they have kept in regular contact and always been there to answer any questions quickly and efficiently. I'd like to especially mention Nicole C who has been there to liaise with throughout the whole process and has been approachable, efficient, and extremely helpful. Thanks again to the team

TrustpilotBuyer be aware! Stay away!
I lost 4 moths and 7k in fees because of misrepresentation. They fail to ask or choose to hide basic facts prior to listing a property causing a lot avoidable stress when you work with the right agent.This is fraud in the name of business Buyer be aware! Stay away.

GoogleA really stellar estate agency, you actually feel like they care about you and finding the right house for you. Couldn’t be happier to recommend John D. Wood and Co. Southfields. A special shout out to a Chris and Elaine who were wonderful throughout our purchase experience.

TrustpilotJohn D Wood in Wandsworth
John D Wood in Wandsworth, and more specifically Shae Preece and James Setright, epitomise the worst traits of estate agents. Dishonest, unprofessional and incompetent. They incited panic in the chain unnecessarily, they downright lied on many occasions, they pestered all sides incessantly which led to numerous complaints, and when it suited them ignored all communication. Despite having no qualifications, they believed they were experts in surveying, conveyancing law and mortgages and unbelievably tried to undermine experts in these fields. They will do their best to ruin any house sale or purchase. Avoid John D Wood at all costs.

TrustpilotVery disappointing overall experience…
Very disappointing overall experience with John D. Wood. Property managers who simply don't care and go AWOL when you email or call with a query or issue you need help with. Took far too long and proably broke the law in terms of the time between us moving out and getting our deposit back. Would not recommend as a result of our experience. If you work there at a senior level then your staff need some management training and your whole organisation needs to up it's game.

TrustpilotAbsolute incompetency!
Terrible service and serious lack of professionalism. Moved in to the apartment 6 months ago and plenty of the issues are not fixed yet... and I am talking about serious issues like pests, water leakages and broken appliances. We have mice coming in and out of the apartment due to lack of pest proofing and a report made by the council. Yet they do not act. They bounce you from one person to another to wear you down and nobody in the company takes any responsibility. I have written to 5 people so far and nobody gets anything done. I think the only solution with these guys are to AVOID any property managed by them. Turns out the landlord is not aware of any of the problems. We will directly contact with the landlord even though she did nothing wrong but to trust these people.

TrustpilotTerrible on all counts!
From the moment we were given notice John D Wood failed to give anything like a decent service - emails and calls were rarely responded to. Duplicate requests for information came from a range of staff, often no response to contact - you literally have to bombard them with emails / calls to get any communication and return of deposit after months of leaving the property and a significant period (nearly a month, not the 10 days legally required I believe?) since the landlord confirmed an agreed amount.One staff member I think had good intentions and was helpful on speaking to her but the process will wear you down. I think the corporate / company ethic and values must be rotten as they simply do not provide any tiny hint of service that you might expect from a professional outfit. On checking other review sites and this one, I realise we are not alone in our experience. I'm not sure if they read these reviews, but clearly systemic change needs to happen soon or word of mouth will surely stop any further business going their way??

TrustpilotVery biased towards the landlord
Very biased towards the landlord. Tenants please avoid if you want your deposit back as they would report issues at checkout that would be there at checkin. Last week I received an end of tenancy report which state issues which were present when my tenancy started. Since I've been taken advantage of many a times by rogue estate agents and I've learned my lesson so I made detailed recordings of the property at the start & end of the tenancy where I cover each and every inch of the property. I just emailed them one of the video and took screenshots from other videos that show that the issues were there beforehand. I did email Amy earlier that these were present at checkin but instead of checking the records she is going ahead to get repair quotes & ask for deductions from my deposit. I will leave as many negative reviews as I can! even register www. avoid-johndwood. com so innocent people can avoid getting ripped off.

TrustpilotExceptional service from Rupert and Ellie
Rupert Simmonds and Ellie Bowers at John D Wood in Notting Hill Gate are both absolutely exceptional agents. My husband and I have, as landlords, had dealings with many agents in London but Rupert and Ellie are head and shoulders above all agents we have interacted with. Their attention to detail, knowledge and amazing and caring customer service is in a class of its own. They are both a massive credit to John D Woods. Malini Kamerkar
