My grand daughter arranged a viewing of a flat in Nailsea and took time off work to attend. Her partner traveled a round trip from Birmingham of 150 miles and my wife and I went with them to give any advice needed. At 3.30pm, time of the viewing, we got a phone call to say the landlord was stuck on the motorway with the keys and they would update us in half an hour. At 4pm another phone call to say they were closing the branch and would not wait for the landlord who was allegedly informed and we...

I've been meaning to review these agents for some time now, and it's interesting to see that tenants seem to have much the same experience that I had as a landlord. AVOID. On various occasions I was charged out the blue for nothing, repairs I'd repeatedly requested were not done, I was fobbed off, ignored.. Woods show an utter disregard for landlords and their property and do not seem to want to let the properties in the first place ... I could go on. Everything takes a ludicrous amount of time....

The worst estate agents I've ever rented through. They don't follow law and legislation. I have had no hot water for over 3 weeks now and all I keep hearing is a promise of a call back which never comes. Can't wait to get out of my contract....

Ridiculous agent fees, completely made up to line their pockets.

Check out took place on 3rd April, deposit FINALLY received on 25th May. Towards the end of my tenancy I was told the deposit would be refunded within 10 working days, clearly that didn't happen. I was told that the refund had been processed on 5th April and would be paid in full as I had left the flat in immaculate condition. When you contact Woods (which I did on numerous occasions) you are promised a call back from the relevant person, that doesn't happen. I also emailed and contacted via Fa...

So far i've waited over a month for the return of my deposit; quite a bit longer than the agreed 10 days. Admittedly there was a bit of stuff I missed in the clear up, but that was rectified after getting notification. They've charged me £110 to have the property cleaned after my departure, which to me is baffling as we left the house in a better state than when we moved in. One of the chargeable items was the extractor filter, which was old when we moved in. There were several things ...

Worst renting experience. Woods not only rip you off, but they never take complaints seriously. We have been living with extremely bad mould in our property for a year affecting our health. We contacted Woods who hung up on us, laughed at us down the phone, sent sarcastic emails, and sugar coated what was a serious problem. They told us not to hang our washing up inside despite having no outdoor area to dry the clothing. They later had an engineer come round to check the boiler and in the proces...

There's nothing like great customer service and my recent experience with Woods was nothing like great customer service. If I could have given them zero stars I would have done. Utterly inflexible business processes and fee structures which I baulked at ... I have no issues with making a profit but Woods take this to another level. I would never recommend them, in fact I would actively recommend against anyone I cared about using their 'services'....

Penalty fees for every single possible transgression imaginable, fees for the most minor of administrative activities, they're a company with no concept of customer service.

Absolutely dreadful. I am moving back to the Uk in 6 wks from Australia, they have a suitable house advertised for 3 months that they cannot rent out. When my father went to visit the area by train, he random and asked to arrange a viewing if someone could collect him from the local train station 2 miles away to show him the house. He was told that was impossible as their car insurance didn't cover that! When I rang a few days later for information about the house, I was stopped mid sentence an...

after reading all these reviews I think we have had a lucky escape!! We viewed the property and then done all the paperwork paid all the extortionist fees.. Waiting round for nearly a week to hear anything about our references etc... In the meantime we kept having our moving date changed .. This happened 3-4 times. 2 weeks before moving date we get told there is a problem with a reference , this problem was rectified but within that hour the let agreed had been taken down and the property back...

RUN AWAY NOW! This lot just do not care about tenants and simply give you the worst treatment possible so that you will leave. This is so they can get your leaving fee and another signing fee. 6 months later, another leaving fee, another joining fee. When something needs fixed it is just "tomorrow, tomorrow.....maybe never" 4 weeks to fix a broken toilet! 5 weeks to fix a leaking ceiling! 7 weeks to fix the internet! But 1 day to accept we were leaving and get the house ba...

I've been meaning to write this review for some time. I saw their sign outside someone's home recently and realised I felt guilty knowing that other people have had to suffer them. It comes as no surprise that their ranking is so low. Here's the list of complaints (and it's by no means complete): - The fees are far greater than competitors and therefore excessive - Chucked us out after ~6 months with no explanation (we were well behaved with no complaints and no damage to the property...

Got messed about constantly by this cowboy operation. Arranged a viewing, were traveling a long way to make the viewing as we are relocating. Got a call an hour before the viewing to say that it was canceled. Then the idiot Rob finally turned up to the second viewing we arranged, we told him we would take the property, then the clowns had let it to somebody else in the meantime, despite us having completed paperwork. The staff at this company are generally rude and unhelpful and unprofe...

Avoid this agency as a tenant as well as a landlord. The staff is rude and unprofessional (in any branch), they treat tenants like garbage and make you feel unwelcome in your rented home - they are forgetting who is paying them money!! They are always rude on the phone, you wait ages to have things fixed, you can\'t do anything in the house (yes, we should be grateful they allow us to breath at least!), they come to your home when you are not there, the list has no end - just avoid avoid avoid!...

The staff have been rude, whilst on the phone to them they were heard to be slagging us off in the back ground. Promising to have the house ready by a set date then making us homeless for 4 days was unacceptable. Then once we were in the properly it was not complete. No curtains no phone line, all that was promised was not delievered until we had to sort it our self. I am still to this date unsure of where our money has gone as they certainly have not used it to support us. West bury on trym ...

Staff are rude, unprofessional, lie at every turn. My experience with this agency was awful, I believe them to be con artists. It\'s as if they don\'t even actually want to LET the property that they are advertising. The agency fees are very steep and the way the staff treat you once they\'ve taken your money is a joke. It wouldn\'t surprise me if they owned the flat that was being advertised in order to take agency fees off clients, once they have your money they come up with every reason under...

We are tenants currently looking for rented property in Bristol and I would recommend all potential landlords avoid using Woods to manage the letting of their property. We called to enquire about a property in Bradley Stoke Bristol, straight after answering the phone the letting agent demanded more information on our credit rating, because she "does not want to waste her time" they wanted us to get a credit report from experian (at our own expense) before they would even show us th...

There have been numerous problems with this agent on trying to view and secure just one rental property. Firstly, their complete lack of flexiblity in times of viewings to the point where I actually had to alter my own work hours to view a property and this was a secondary viewing as they refused to let my partner take the place without me being present as well. Secondly, and this happened on both viewings, they sent staff who had no idea about the property itself. We could have shown ours...

Woods Estate Agents is the most unaccommodating agency I have worked with. Whereas other agents (Ocean, etc) will schedule in viewings at times which work for you, Woods runs a strict 9-5 system. If you are working, this agency will not accommodate you in any way. Even if your partner/housemate is able to view in the daytime, they will not allow you to secure a flat unless both parties are present. They seem to have no concept much less understanding of the normal working hours and constraints. ...
