JW Wood Reviews 

Julie Prendergast of woods agents has been so helpful and patient with the sale of home in Durham. Can’t sing her praises enough.

All of JW Wood's representatives whom we have had the pleasure to meet or speak to have been extremely welcoming and professional. All processes have been explained thoroughly and any changes in circumstances have been relayed immediately. I would recommend JW Wood for any property services, whether buying or selling, a great thank you to Julie Prendergast our property consultant who is still supporting us on our transition.

Brilliant service , I am unsure of the process of selling/buying a house but Vicky has been fantastic on guiding me through this and keeping me informed.
Definitely recommend

We were looking for a house and Martyn the manager of Bishop Auckland branch couldn’t do enough to help us! Told us of a property new to the market, when I looked at pics I thought not for us but we viewed anyway, blown away was an understatement! It was like he saw my dream! He was friendly efficient and always there on the other end of the phone to sort the purchase quickly! Thank you so much to you and your team excellent service!

Handling my sale and purchase, excellent service and Denise is very professional and responsive. Fingers crossed for a safe conveyance!

2nd sale using JW Wood, and again giving us a very quick sale, excellent sales team work. Big thanks to Gary, Sandrine and Amanda from the after sales team for being very professional and friendly. Good communication throughout. Highly recommended!

I can't thank JW Wood enough... so helpful and guided me through the whole process, especially as first time buyer...
As so they they are very friendly and happy to help
Highly recommended

Good communication

Just absolutely phenomenal service from all the staff from start to finish, thank you for all your help and support

Swapped to woods after a very slow start with another company, the most professional friendly fast service from start to finish, above and beyond wouldnt use anyone else in future-
Bishop auckland dream team- biggest thank you to amanda, elizabeth and martin for all you help ensuring a smooth stress free sale 😀

We have never sold a property before and had lots of questions about how it works. The staff were so patient with us and helped us every step of the way.

After trying to sell our home with a handful of local and national estate agents who wooed us with big valuations and promises of keen buyers in our area, we've had a great experience of selling with JW Wood in a challenging market. Julie, Jonathan and the team couldn't have been more helpful with their advice, even long before we switched to Woods, and now they're being equally proactive to help us with our next move. We will definitely use JWW when moving again in future (hopefully a long time off!) and we'll save ourselves a lot of headache by starting with them next time!

A huge thank you all at JW Wood, Durham for selling my house. I definitely recommend JW Woods as an Estate Agent for selling property. They kept me informed and up to date at every stage. Thanks so much for all your help!

AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID. They were dishonest and were not presenting our interests as the sellers and promoted and protected the buyer. The overall service verged on negligence and they were in violation of three of the codes of conduct that they are signatory to, and we thought about taking them to the property Ombudsman but we decided our time is too valuable to spend on them. The Durham office knew that we were so disappointed and so shocked, of how things transpired including the managing director, but not a single person picked up the phone to talk to us.

They deserve 0 stars in reality. They in fact give a bad name to real estate agents. It took us that long to digest how badly they managed the whole process over an 11 months period, and only now we feel we can put a review that reflects their unprofessionalism, dishonesty and the favoring of the buyer, while representing us and the sale of our house.

Avoid, going through the property ombudsman to address issues with this estate agent, very poor customer service, they genuinely don’t know what they are talking about, clueless at best!

Excellent customer service, keeping in touch with us regularly and a very quick sale

An absolutely crooked student rental agent.
Beware, they claim against deposit for redecoration of rooms that are handed back in exactly the same state as received, claim for damage that was present but hidden when you move in, and change your checkout form from that you sign when checking out, when you dispute this with TDS.
Keep all documentation, take photos and video everything at check in and out, but ideally avoid the agent in the first place.

Fantastic experience with JW Wood as my letting agents so far! Great and prompt communication and Paul, Gill, Charlotte and the team are always friendly and professional. As a landlord, it's been a pleasure letting my properties with them. A*

Just sold another property through the Stanley office, great service from start to finish. Chris the valuer was very knowledgeable and professional, Vicky in the office was great as always and Beverley in the after sales team was brilliant, always contactable and made the sale fliw easily.

After 15 viewings on my property without a sale I found out that JW Woods were letting the tenant I was evicting handle viewings.
Complete incompetency. Terrible service. Wasted opportunity to sell now the market is in freefall.
