I would avoid Northwood at all costs. As a landlord I am appalled at how Northwood in Aberdeen treat both landlords and tenants. I had tenants move into a flat 3 years ago who reported a issue on day one, it took Northwood 2 weeks to bring it to my attention. The same tenants brought to the attention of Northwood another issue in October last year it was brought to my attention on 23rd of January this year. Only when the tenant threatened to move out did Northwood decided to alert myself. As has always been the case once brought to my attention I rectified the issue very quickly however my tenants were left with NO hot water for 4 months through a cold Scottish winter. This is an absolute disgrace. Like indicated by some of the other reviews Northwood tend to send emails at the end of a day leaving tenants and landlords unable to do anything until the following day. This often happens on a Friday where you can’t do anything until the following Monday. Despite practically begging for a phone call if anything comes up Northwood have repeatedly opted to email at the end of a day. Having gone to the property for an annual safety check it was brought to my attention by the tenant that my flat had been flooded from the flat upstairs and have been left with water damage in the property. The tenants had contacted Northwood and had a response from Northwood but no one had ever passed the information to myself. When I asked the tenant when it had happened they showed me email correspondence between the tenant and Northwood and nearly 5 months had gone by since the incident and no one felt it important to pass on so I could put right the damage. I have now been left with no option but to pursue the complaints process, I have had to contact the property ombudsman to escalate this as Northwood Aberdeen seem incapable of doing the right thing. After having potentially the value of my property put at risk and my reputation damaged by Northwoods inadequacy they made quite frankly an insulting offer towards helping fix the issues. The 5 star reviews on here need to be investigated. There are clearly fake accounts (perhaps not all but definitely a few) propping up this score which is still not great. AVOID AVOID AVOID.
