We have been renting with Northwood for a number of years and have found them to be extremely poor at communication, several times this has resulted in a financial loss for us.

Some members of staff are very rude and unwilling to take criticism, get defensive and end up escalating arguments.

I have no experience of other agents so cannot compare Northwood, however if you use them make sure everything is in writing and always double check things your self.

Don't take their word for it!

I think the fees are really fair as they take about £100 a month for guaranteed rent but I never have to worry about any arrears or voids and they don't charge a set up fee.

Comment on agent fees
We are on the guaranteed rent scheme and there are no fees as such. Northwood guarantee me ‚£420.00 per month absolutely guaranteed. The tenant then pays Northwood ‚£550 per month so Northwood make there ‚£130.00 per month profit from that. Although about 18 months ago, my tenant missed 3 rental payments but I still received my ‚£420.00 whilst Northwood took the hit on the rent and went to court with the tenant to retrieve the outstanding rent. Once the tenant finally left (without paying back any of the arrears) we had a 2 month vacant period whilst we re-let the property, during this two month period I still received my ‚£420.00 regardless. Very good scheme for peace of mind!

Overall the fees are very fair and reasonable. The true test is when a specific problem rears its head and Northwood have proved to me they are there when you may need them most. There is an excellent legal service, if needed, that works side by side with the Agent.
