The good news was that they found us a buyer! The bad news is that their quest to push through our sale led them to behave in an aggressive and underhand manner, trying to force things forward when we weren't yet ready on our purchase. Their 'front end' spiel was good but once a buyer had been ... Read Full Review

They treat tenants with contempt. They also send contractors who are unauthorised to enter tenants' homes and lie when you ... Read Full Review

If you want to have the worst time of your tenant life - apply for John D Wood! This agency asked us for many illegal things and deals, trying to get as much money they can. They are protecting only Landlords and harass you any time they want something from you. I seriously suggest NOT to sign an ... Read Full Review

I would say it would be fair if they would do their job correctly and professionaly, without helping landloard chasing for more money. Instead of solving problems they are creating problems.

Typical Estate Agents in all their glory. Very quick to demand money and not do the work. It took 3 attempts to get our renewal right, all they had to do was put the correct names on, which we had to pay �100 for. Then they voided it 2 weeks after us signing, they didn't even call us, just ... Read Full Review

By far the worst agent I have ever rented through. We were deceived from the start by the agent who persuaded us to agree to a 6 month break clause as the landlord always wants a 6 month break clause and didn't know us as tenants. We told the agent that we were looking for at least 18 months as we ... Read Full Review

John D Wood have been absolutely shocking in their treatment of the residents of our property. Contractors frequently arrive to the house with their own key with no warning. In effect, it's just some random men or women letting themselves in. We have reported this to John D Wood numerous times and ... Read Full Review


What agent could do to change your mind?

They could contact us about repairs. Or respond to emails. They could be respectful and abide by the contract we signed. They could ensure our house is safe to live in.

John D Wood sold our house earlier this year. Most of their staff, while very pleasant, are young and inexperienced which means that when things go wrong they aren't really able to advise you.

Fees were standard for the area at the time. They still seem high for the level of service received but would not have been cheaper with another agent.

In the meantime they blamed us for the contractors not turning up. When the contractors turned they wiped down the mold and painted it ... Read Full Review


What agent could do to change your mind?

1st, Actually send someone qualified to check out the mold issues instead of a plumber who knocks on the ceiling and says it is just fine. 2nd, not to judge us before having the facts about what is going on. 3rd, to fix the problem. It is highly dangerous for an asthmatic to live and breathe in mold. the complete disregard for other humans well being is complete and is just disgusting

Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.
