Quite possibly the worst company in the UK. John D Wood manages a flat we have are renting out and it's taken them 7 months to fix a rodent problem we had in our property. The service is appalling and I can easily say it's the ...

I would advise anyone looking to rent a house (or landlord for that matter) to use anyone in preference to John D Wood in Battersea. They do the minimum possible. Emails to the property manager go un-answered. On top of that, we have had 3 different ...

I have been renting my flat with John D Wood for the last 4 years. Like most managing agents, they have been pretty useless but happy to pocket their 15% Management Commission from me for frankly not a lot. Anyway, my main gripe came as a result ...

What agent could do to change your mind?
Unethical. They tried to hoodwink me into accepting something which breaches the law let alone the Property Ombudsman's guidelines.

What agent could do to change your mind?
General observation: to act with honesty and integrity which was lacking in our negotiations. Precise observation, to do a much better on drafting contracts rather than send a generic document, otherwise their charge of ‚£275 + VAT is unjustifiable.

Just be mindful that the Office of Fair Trading got a ruling from the High Court in 2011, precisely to protect Landlords against such sharp practice of evergreen fees and renewal, the onus is now on the Letting Agent "to check that their terms and conditions are fair and transparent". This means that such fees have to be very clearly highlighted (bold underlining etc.) and frankly should be stipulated orally and followed up by an email for good order. More details on the OFT website below: ...

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.
