Me and my partner moved into a house in kingswells, Aberdeen which looked like a nice home upon viewing, however the place was falling apart, there was a severe lack of hot water and the central was very temperamental and when we complained to Northwood i was asked to ‘fiddle about with the boiler’ myself. The landlord had sellotaped the bottom bracket of the fridge on after he broke it and when we asked for a replacement we were given something that resembled a mini bar. The recycling bin was full of grass upon our arrival which meant we had to pay for someone to remove it. We moved out of the house before our lease was up as the living standards were appauling. I still havent recieved my deposit back although the landlord has made a full renovation on the house and northwood wont reply to my emails. Worst experience of renting a property ive ever had!!

Dear Jamie, We are sorry to read your review and will always seek ways to improve our service to our clients. We took over management of this tenancy midway through the lease, so cant comment on how it was found at the start of the tenancy with the previous agent. The landlord informed us of plans to build an extension to the property and the need to bring the tenancy to an end. Matt Pullinger

Very disappointing experience, i just dont see how what you have left me and my partner in is acceptable, the flat is cold damp and mouldy. Things breaking such the shower, windows, door ive seen the temperature drop into danger of hypothermia and they want us to ventilated the property but we only have the in the living room but in the living room there is a crumbling wall the wallpaper above the bedroom window is crumbling of but still nothing been done, the customers service is worst i can never seen to get through to the maintenance team horrible customer service thank god am out this property in little over a month!!!, the tiles in the kitchen is coming from the wall due to damp i dont how the landlord got away with this flat is not fit for living in, and they told us that they have never had an issue with the cold in the flat well thermometers dont lie its so cold to the point our hands are so numb we've also have family and friends to say its cold i would highly recommend dont go with this company they take a very long time to answer and very very poor service.

Dear Connor, We are sorry to ready your review. I note that we have not received a complaint to date and do have a formal complaints procedure to resolve matters and are also happy to take a call on 01224 218450 should you wish to discuss further. This property has only recently been taken over by us and any historic issues we were not made aware of. Best Regards Matt Pullinger

Absolutely disgraceful and unethical agent. Disabled family member was told she could not accept an application to reserve a property without first meeting the agent. After waiting a week for a viewing, the agent reserved the property for another tenant who had an earlier viewing the same day, without even accepting my family member's application. The agent didn't even have the courtesy to call and cancel the viewing, leaving my family member - who cannot WALK - completely up the creek. I'm absolutely horrified at the disgusting behaviour of this agent, and I would recommend you avoid them at all costs. The behaviour displayed by this agent is in contravention of the Letting Agent Code of Practice Regulations, and we will be pursuing this appropriately: "In deciding how you will conduct viewings on the landlord’s behalf, you should make sure you do not unlawfully discriminate against a person protected by the Equality Act 2010"

We are sorry to read you review. Our instructions come from the landlord with who they accept for their property and we have viewings and applications all the time for the properties we manage. We did try to call to advise and further sent an e-mail to other properties that may suit and would be happy to arrange this on 01224 218450, Matt Pullinger

Laughable. Extremely disorganised, quite dodgy and VERY rude! Communication is awful. Added fake charges to our deposit. Viewings for the flat were before the previous tenants had even moved out which was very awkward! A ridiculously bad experience.

Dear Jamie, we are sorry to read of your experience and will strive to review your feedback to enable us to always provide the best service. With regards viewings the contract signed by the tenant permits viewings within the last two months of the tenancy subject to prior notice. With regards deposit, tenants are protected in the knowledge that all deposits are secured in a government approved scheme. Any amounts that a landlord wishes to deduct from a deposit can only be based on solid evidence recorded via detailed inventory and checkout report. We are again sorry to hear that you feel your experience was not a good one and we will review this as a team. Best regards Northwood Aberdeen Team

Poor service received from beginning to end of tenancy - very clear that landlords are valued higher than tenants at Northwood. Moved into a dirty flat, with multiple issues that took literally months to resolve, despite constant chasing- issues including furniture that didn't conform to fire regulations being stored in my spare room for weeks, before being located to my shed without my consent, broken shower, broken buzzer, broken blinds, heating breaking down twice, greasy and dirty furnishings throughout. The flat was handed back at end of, 6 month tenancy, about ten times cleaner than when I moved in, with new toilet seat (did I mention the original was broken, and being held on with sellotape?), New coat hooks (old ones crumbling out of wall), new net curtains with pole and a kitchen free from the inch of grease from when I moved in. Despite this I was charged £54 for a cleaning, with a cheeky £30 admin fee added on for my troubles. I requested a copy of the invoice for the cleaning 17 days ago, and have not yet received it, despite emails, visiting northwood, and phoning twice to speak to management, who did not return my call. Very disappointed at the lack of support given to tenants by this company, and I will not be recommending to anyone. Watch out for unlawful charges and insincerity.

Dear Sandy Thank you for your review and comments, I do value and review the feedback our clients give us in detail to ensure our service to our customers is at its best. I have no note on file of any official complaint in connection with this, however despite the landlord remaining compliant we felt that more was required from them to make this property more comfortable, despite agreeing in good faith some of them did not quite work out as planned due to circumstances out with our control. For clarity we don’t make any unlawful charges and despite there being cleaning issues noted we agreed to return your deposit in full with no charges due to the circumstances out with our control that were experienced at the start of the tenancy. Thanks again for your custom. Yours sincerely Matt Pullinger
