We sold our property using these agents last year & they couldn't have been better - they even got us 5% ABOVE our asking price. And when a last minute hurdle in the house we were buying came up, the agent spent a great deal of time helping us clear it - highly recommended

I called John D Wood saying i would like to see a specific property in Surrey that was listed on their website. The agent said that would not be possible as they were very busy and could only show me two other (more expensive) properties which they were 'launching' nearby. I said happy to see those two as well, but would really like to see the first one, as i would be driving all the way from Central London to Surrey to view properties. They insisted that's not possible and that the property is not worth visiting as it has a small garden hence why it has not sold for quite some time.

They took a deposit of £1,000 from us before running a credit check, this to hold the property for us.
Unfortunately, our application was refused after credit check, but they then told us our money was non refundable. This clearly is a rip-off. avoid this agent.Was this review helpful? Yes

I had innumerate issues with this company, I would advise any and all to either go elsewhere or learn to not trust anything they are told. The dullard dealing with our tenancy was the most incompetent person I have ever come across in any capacity, and when it was really getting concerning that they had not drawn up the appropriate paperwork, they went on holiday without warning. Luckily one person involved was not a complete buffoon (me), so I did their jobs for them with great time and effort. Avoid these con merchants at all costs.

First class service and unstinting effort to finalise sale.

I went to see the two recommended properties, which i didnt like. I then drove to the other property myself, it was a very small street and i asked a neighbour who kindly pointed the one for sale. I knocked on the door and the owner was there. He was in fact expecting John D Wood to turn up shortly with a couple that was coming for a "second viewing". The owner was surprised that the agent didn't want to show me the property. He said the least they could do, if they were that busy, was to contact him and see if he could show me around the house himself, which he did. The house was actually much nicer than the other two and its garden was no smaller than the other two properties. The owner was genuinely upset and said he would disinstruct John D Wood. As i was leaving, a couple arrived with the agent that had shown me one of the other two properties...
