Very poor communication skills, leave a lot to be desired
We had appointment on 3.30 waiting at property for long time at and another family as well. We called six time to the agency no one picked finally some return called at 3.57 to make another appointment for viewing. We have just wasted our time .
Alli was great with our initial interactions and helped us find a property. We've been passed onto someone else now who is unhelpful, rude and comes across as patronizing. When communicating, most of the time a simple 'sorry' would be enough to make the situation better (like in most service industries) but the general response is arsey excuses. Also I see that the general response on here to a negative review is to say "we don't have a complaint on file for this"..... which is a perfect example of the failure to take accountability for the shortfalls in service. Excuses right to the end.NegativeProfessionalism
I wish there was an option to give 0 stars as that's what this "letting agency" deserves. I would AVOID this company at ALL COSTS. A chocolate teapot is more reliable than this company..it's funny they say they are happy to help with any problem but when you do need help and it doesn't benefit them it's as if they have done a Houdini, I had to deal with multiple issues myself as emails were ignored for months and when I did get a response it was nothing to do with the problem.. Honestly don't waste your money/time or energy with them. The LEAST professional letting agency I have EVER dealt with...my advise is, When there is an issue or just questions. Write everything needed in an email and sent them it..then phone them from different numbers that aren't on the application form as they have a habit of being "unavailable" or just not answering the calls but as soon as someone else phones from a different number for you they answer straight away. Just continue to phone them until you get the answers/actions you need. DON'T let them fob you off and say they will phone you back as they wont. LET YOUR HIDDEN KAREN PERSONA OUT. When moving out make sure you document cleaning the flat with photos and videos for evidence so they don't try and charge you with the cleaning fee. When it came to getting my deposit back..they hadn't even registered my name under the property with Safe Deposits Scotland so I had to phone them back and it was like pulling teeth with them..When they finally got round to it they gave SDS the incorrect the information as they misspelt my email address...SO GLAD I don't have to deal with them now..How the hell they got such a high rating I will never know.. definitely got some bots making fake reviews!

My experience as a tenant moving out of a property with Northwood Aberdeen has been very negative. The agency forgot to close the gas account they set up for me originally (bizarrely they did close the electricity account in time) and ended up charging me a crazy 'cleaning fee' for the exchange of a light bulb and the cleaning of a surface that was merely discoloured. No pictures were ever provided to show me that they magically managed to clear the discolouration but a handsome bill for whatever was provided.
Never got back to me when I needed help/advice. I kept the flat in excellent condition and applied for the rent back via safe deposit. Heard nothing back for 6 weeks not even q call to let me know how the check out went, until they asked me to pay 100 for cleaning g costs, 6 weeks later!! Place was left in good condition and if they felt it wasnt why not contact me at check out and give me the opportunity to rectify. Beware.NegativeResponsiveness
For four years of my tenancy, I have not had a single month without any problem in the flat that they either ignored for as long as possible, or for which repair I waited way too long. This agency is not supportive, nor reliable in any way.
Very poor level of customer service and extremely poor knowledge around processes regarding secure deposits. No understanding of new legislation which protects tenants.
Terrible service, do not approach them. If you use them, you will regret.
