Think twice if you're a landlord If you're thinking of letting JW Wood manage your property think twice. They charge high fees, communication is dreadful if something goes wrong and they charge you for things without asking! Members of the team admit they have fallen short however managers there do not answer questions in a timely manner and when you suggest a face to face meeting to try and resolve things they refuse! Honestly worse estate agent I have encountered

Extremely let down by this estate agent - went to view a property and then spoke with Amanda to be advised they were not taking any more applications. No idea why the property is still showing as for let on two sites, On The Market and Right Move, not even an apology for totally wasting my time! Disgraceful, avoid if you are looking to rent somewhere!

Dear Annabelle, I am sorry to hear that you feel let down by us. This particular property the client instructed us to continue marketing while the prospective tenants were undergoing referencing. There is also a time delay with the status updating online from available to unavailable. This is not an uncommon process and I have discussed this with the client and we all pass our apologies on if you feel as though you have not been kept informed. The lettings market is very strong at the moment and we receive a high volume of inquiries about any property that goes live. We wish you the best of luck with your search.

Before viewing a property ask for confirmation they are taking more applications. I viewed a property on Tuesday and called Wednesday to ask to put in an application. I was told they would contact the landlord and call me back. Called Friday to be told they were not taking any more applicants, when I asked why they had let me view it they said they had nothing to do with the lettings side and just booked viewings? Wasted time viewing and also as I was under the impression my application was being considered as I was advised all my details had been sent to lettings on Wednesday, I have also wasted time not viewing other properties. The property is also still showing to let on the sites On The Market and Right Move!
