Used John D Wood to sell our flat in SW19. Lewis Hiscox was great to deal with. Was a far longer process than expected for reasons beyond everyone’s control but Lewis managed to keep the process moving along smoothly. Thanks!

Tenacious, friendly, honest, down to earth and actually lovely to work with. I can’t recommend Chris and team enough. Lewis has been a superstar in getting our sale over the line in difficult circumstances. Thank you.

John D Wood provided an exceptional selling experience. Lewis' communication was seamless, keeping us updated at every stage and assisted when blockages appeared. His and the wider team's proactive, professional approach removed all stress from the sale. We highly recommend them for anyone selling a property in Southfields. Outstanding service!

We’d like to thank Chris, Jack, and Lewis at JD Wood for their professional, diligent, and courteous service. Of the five local estate agents we invited for an appraisal, they impressed us the most with their approach and expertise. From marketing to sale, they kept us informed at every step, making the process straightforward and stress-free. We recommend them to any buyer or seller.

Mice infestation by a John D Wood managed property

I strongly recommend doing your due diligence before renting a John D Wood-managed property on Courtfield Road. I was a tenant at the property for two years and am sharing my honest experience… Repeated mice infestation During my tenancy, my young daughter and I experienced three separate episodes of mice infestation, including mice regularly appearing in our living space and kitchen. Despite repeated requests for help, I was at times ignored for weeks. On one occasion, pest control attended to remove a dead mouse from our kitchen. They advised that entry points needed to be properly sealed to prevent recurrence and that the landlord had been made aware. Despite this, the landlord chose not to act, so we continued to cohabit with mice. P.S. The pest control agent told me they had previously attended the flat for exactly the same issue during an earlier tenancy and it had also not been addressed. Living through recurring mice infestations with a young child, when preventative measures had been recommended, was totally unacceptable. The way the landlord chose to handle (or not handle) the matter was completely (insert your own adjective here). Which, quite unsurprisingly, led to the even more ridiculous handling of my deposit… Deposit handling I was not contacted for over two months, despite repeatedly trying to contact the responsible person, James (listed as Kieran on their website), by email, telephone and attending the branch twice. On one occasion I even saw him in the branch. Yet James denied receiving any communications from me despite clear evidence and witnesses. I eventually made contact only after escalating to his seniors. When communication resumed, I was presented with several deductions I considered totally unreasonable and disproportionate, including a £390 cleaning charge despite the property having already been professionally cleaned, as well as proposed replacement costs for “wear and tear” items which, in my view, could reasonably have been remedied and should not be used to fund refurbishment of the property. When I disputed the deductions, I was repeatedly asked for further evidence and explanations, including proof of professional cleaning and detailed recollections of how alleged damage occurred, which I provided in good faith. Despite this, my evidence and explanations seemingly went unnoticed and the landlord’s position remained “firm and unchanged”. I couldn’t help wondering why they asked for this evidence in the first place, if not simply to make the process more drawn out. Then, after approximately two and a half months, I was informed that the landlord’s position had changed again and additional charges, including possible carpet replacement, were being considered. I was also told their cleaning contractor had been asked to attend again to update the cleaning quote, and I had to wait for details needed to escalate to TDS, further extending a process that had already taken months. At this point, returning a tenancy deposit appears to have developed into a considerably more complicated project than dealing with three separate mice infestations ever was… Jokes aside, I was a tenant for two years, paid my rent, including increases in line with inflation, six months upfront at a time, and caused very little difficulty throughout my tenancy. I was consistently accommodating when it came to problems with the property and landlord. It is unfortunate that the same flexibility seems to disappear rather quickly when there is money to be deducted from a tenant’s deposit. So, to anyone considering renting in South Kensington / Gloucester Road, and particularly this property: please do your due diligence, document everything and keep every email. I sincerely hope your experience is better than mine. As for my deposit, perhaps one day it too will successfully find its way out of Flat 9.

We worked with Jack Smye and his team to purchase our first property and Jack was very responsive and also accommodated late viewings which we were really grateful for. The communication from the team was excellent

Great experience at the Beckenham branch of John D Wood - Lisa and her team go above and beyond to help. Friendly, attentive service every time - highly recommended! I’ve also called Lisa for advice on other general housing matters, and she has always been incredibly helpful.

Professional and helpful

Molly and her team at the Parsons Green office were very professional, helpful and pleasant to work with. From advising on the appropriate asking price, arranging multiple viewings and securing couple of offers in the first two days of the property being on the market. They were knowledgeable and assisted in navigating a stressful process, dealing with unexpected matters that came up during the conveyancing, which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend the Parsons Green office for selling a property.

Unprofessional and frustrating

My experience with this letting agency has been disappointing. Communication was consistently poor, and I often had to follow up multiple times to receive even the most basic updates, whether it related to urgent maintenance issues or my tenancy deposit. Throughout my time in the property, I found myself repeatedly having to chase responses. There was very little initiative shown on their part, and when replies did come, they were often delayed or lacked clarity. It left me feeling like I had to manage things entirely on my own. Even now, months after the end of my tenancy, I am still waiting for my deposit to be returned, with no clear communication or resolution provided. It's unfortunate to have had such a stressful experience.

We had a fantastic experience working with Lewis and the JDW team! He was consistently responsive and communicated clearly throughout the entire process. He understood and accommodated our requests, was very reasonable during negotiations, and helped us move forward smoothly even under a tight timeframe. His coordination with all parties was excellent, and he remained friendly and easy to work with from start to finish. We truly appreciated his professionalism and support, highly recommended!

In a declining market between August and December 2022, the JDW team in Southfields pulled out all the stops. Chris Mizen kept it altogether, and eventually succeeded in recommending a purchaser after two others had made offers and then withdrew. Lewis kept both the buyer and us informed as various difficulties arose, and compromises were made, and Jack interceded where necessary to good effect. We got there, for it was a team effort between JDW and us, the vendors, and we got it over the line. Fantastic job all round!

Worked with Opemi Mafimisebi from the Docklands office recently and it was a pleasure of working with her as I couldn’t be more impressed with the service I received. From start to finish, she handled my enquiry with professionalism and genuine care.

No 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.

High 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.
