AllAgentsNever a bad word to say about
Never a bad word to say about Northwood. We have been renting from Northwood for nearly 4 years now and only experienced great service. Harriet is our 'go to' and she is great! Friendly and always ready to help.

Hi Leisha, thank you so much for taking the time to post a review and for your kind comments, it is really appreciated and gave Harriet in particular a warm glow inside. Where did 4 years go to? - It seems only yesterday (well maybe a year or so) since the twins arrived. Our very best wishes to you all. Jonathan

Hi Leianne, Thank you for taking the time to post feedback about your experience of letting a property through Northwood and for your positive comments. It is very much appreciated and by Sarah and Rob in particular. We understand that moving house can be a stressful time and can involve stressful situations. We are here to help (but maybe not with delivering a Friday night takeaway!). Best wishes from the whole Northwood team.

I have been very happy with the service provided by the team at Northwood since moving my properties from another agent. Pricing is fair and transparent and communication is excellent which is very important for me as I live abroad.

AllAgentsI am a landlord that used the
I am a landlord that used the services of Northwood for approximately 8 years. My house was handed back to me recently and the house was completely trashed by the last tenants who had lived there for 3 years. They had been smoking everywhere in the property and had a pet (i specifically asked for non-smokers and no pets!) The house was filthy dirty and had fleas! It took over 40 hours of cleaning to make it habitable.
I was left with mould everywhere, despite there being an expensive air filtration system in the property.
I would never rent out a property of mine ever again. I was paid less than £600 in compensation and the agents made excuses for the tenants - awful service!

Hello Emma, thank you for taking the time to post feedback. As the owner of Northwood Worcester, I am grateful for comments both good and not so good. All tenants are expected to look after a property in accordance with the terms of their tenancy contract and to hand it back at the end of their tenancy in the condition they received it in, subject to fair wear and tear. The vast majority of tenants do just this but unfortunately some don’t. The inconvenience caused to you by the condition of the property as left by the most recent out-going tenants is very much regretted and I understand and share your frustrations. Matters were sadly compounded by you moving back into the property very soon after the final inspection which left little or no time for any of the issues to be attended to beforehand but that does not alter the fact that the tenants should have prepared the property much better for handback. We did arrange for the house to be professionally cleaned top to bottom but you turned the contractor away when they arrived at the property saying you were going to do it yourself. I have previously set out in emails why some of the issues might have occurred despite the air movement system being in place including the mould to cold outside walls behind where large pieces of furniture had been and the property not having cavity walls and not being well-insulated (having a low E energy rating). A detailed explanation of the Tenancy Deposit Protection Scheme rules and the principles of fair wear and tear that must be taken into account at the end of all tenancies have also been provided. At no time however have excuses been made for the actions or inactions of the out-going tenants. I appreciate that you are very dissatisfied with the amount of compensation that has been assessed in accordance with the deposit scheme rules. Sometimes those rules can seem unfair towards landlords especially where, for example, the cost of new replacements cannot be recovered for items left damaged that were previously undamaged at the start of the letting and which would not have needed to be replaced if the tenant had not damaged them. As a professional letting company however, we must follow the rules and regulations that govern residential lettings as set by government and the relevant professional bodies. I am very sorry that the final stage of the lettings process has blighted our dealings over the last 8 years. If you wish to raise any other points or issues, please email me direct and I will do my best to help. Jonathan

Direct reviewsI rang and spoke to Sarah to ask if she could provide me with copies of the gas and electric certificates of a property they managed for me. She did this instantly while I was on the phone and the copies were in my inbox immediately.
A very efficient service, thank you Sarah.

At our first meeting I was impressed with Robert's professionalism and friendly manner. He has always responded promptly to my emails with excellent advice and has always been extremely helpful. As I live abroad, it is important for me to be comfortable with an agent who is trustworthy and efficient so I would highly recommend him and Northwood.
I have also been in contact with Maria who is also very prompt at responding to any questions that I have had.

Northwood are excellent at responding back to you. We recently had an electrical fault, we let the team know and they got back to us quickly and with the details of the electrician who would shortly be in touch, and did. It wasn't long at all before he came and rectified the issue and a very pleasant man. We feel confident that any further issues, if at all, will always be dealt with this way, which is very reassuring. Lauren also kept us well informed in the process..

Agent replied · 22 February 2025
Hi Victoria, it is a frustrating fact of life that things in a property break down from time to time but great to know that Lauren helped to get everything back up and running again for you swiftly. Although they do not work for us directly, contractors that we choose to send to properties do reflect on Northwood also so it is particularly pleasing that you were also happy with how they went about their work. Thank you again and hopefully everything will remain in working order now for a long time. If not though, let us know and we will be happy to help. Best wishes from all of us.

I have rented my flat through Northwood for 4 years now. From the start they were clear on the process and guided me through it.
Through the whole Covid pandemic, the team were extremely helpful on what this meant for me as a landlord. As far as repairs go I have found the tradespeople they used to charge a fair price and provide a great service.
As a first time landlord I am very happy with the service I have received. Thank you!

Thanks to her and the team my plans to move to the UK all became true and I didn't have to bug my friends with crashing in their sofa until I could finally find something.
Rob took the extra effort of drawing out the measurements for me while they werent advertised or previously taken and it was a great help to plan everything for my move.
I recommend Northwood for sure.

AllAgentsThank you
Rented through Northwood for nearly two years and they made the whole experience so easy. We had a bad experience previously renting from a different local agent and we were nervous when changing properties. Northwood never made us feel like we were at fault with anything and were always happy to help. We only had 1 minor maintenance issue in the whole time we were in the property and it was sorted straight away no questions asked. The move out procedure was so smooth and easy - it made the whole thing so much less stressful than we were expecting! They always tried to accommodate any requests we made and for that we are truly grateful. Thank you Northwood! Would 100% recommend.

Hello Ben, Thank you for your kind feedback. As tenants since July 2013, we were pleased to be able to help you with early re-marketing which successfully saved you around six months' rent whilst you purchased your own property recently. We hope you and the family will be very happy in your new home. I would be interested to know what you feel we could have done better to achieve the final fifth star? Please feel free to contact me direct with any comments or suggestions. Many thanks again.
