Called us to say their vendor had “accepted” our offer. We received no email confirmation, they did not ask for solicitor details and no communication since then. They called the following day to say there’s been a higher offer and that’s been accepted. Just seemed like our offer was used as leverage to get higher from elsewhere. Unethical and unprofessional. No further email correspondence and no opportunity for us to match the offer. Will be avoiding buying from here.

Poor customer service yet to view a house despite filling in their approval forms. Waste of time never hear anything back. In the 3 times I've applied the only response I've had from you is because I've left poor feedback.

Morning Amanda, I am sorry that you have completed our lettings applicant enquiry form but have been unable to secure a viewing. The questionnaire is automatically generated for each enquiry but unfortunately, due to the sheer volume we receive, we can't guarantee a viewing for each individual. I do appreciate that this is frustrating though, especially if this has happened on more than one occasion, so I have requested that the automatic email is updated to advise of this. If you'd like to give the office a call on 01204 363626 we can see if there is anything becoming available in the near future that may be suitable for you. Apologies again for any inconvenience . Kind regards, Lauren

PLEASE READ IF YOU ARE A LANDLORD It’s crucial to share my experience with Northwood Bolton, especially when evaluating property management firms. This is a summary of the issues I encountered: They failed to perform credit checks on tenants, which was clearly outlined in the contract and then later attempted to shift the blame to the Landlord for not requesting these checks. Northwood Bolton terminated the contract without the proper notice(again this was outlined in the contract) leaving the Landlord exposed even though it had mentioned to Northwood that the Landlord was currently suffering from stress and anxiety. Their consultant then advised tenants on rental matters during what should of been notice period (as outlined in the contract) when they should have been acting in the Landlords best interests and the tenants started missing payments for the first time. Shockingly, their staff discussed my workplace with external parties and even confirmed this in writing, breaching my privacy. A Northwood employee used my personal information to search for me on LinkedIn and threatened to report me to my superiors if I didn't comply with their demands. The same individual used my personal email to send threatening messages after their tenure as a director ended. This was reported to the Police who ask them to stop. When I reported these serious issues to the new director, they refused to acknowledge them and even stated they wouldn't address the problems. I had to file a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) about the data breach and threatening messages. Even when ICO ruled in my favor, Northwood Bolton's director didn't acknowledge the threatening letter. In my experience, Northwood Bolton is a company that doesn't uphold contracts, fails to protect personal data, and takes no action against harassing staff members. Most concerning is their unwillingness to admit or apologise when in the wrong. Northwood continue to say when the person who sent the emails that they were not employed by Northwood even the ICO have identified that they were employed as a consultant. They have also been found in the wrong and asked to pay compensation by the Property Ombudsman for the Landlord experiencing avoidable aggravation and inconvenience as a result of the unclear and incomplete information when enquiring about a rental review. Be very cautious when considering their services.

Good afternoon Tahir, I am sorry to hear that you have been dissatisfied with the recent service you received but I can't seem to locate your details on our system so I am not exactly sure what this relates to. We will be happy to investigate this matter further for you if you'd like to contact the office on 01204 363626 with further details. Kind regards

The worst possible agent you can rent from. They made a claim of 1250 on my deposit of 750 claiming for damages like damaged hob and end of tenancy cleaning and many more which was all fake and even for things i had corrspondence with them on email. Thankfully i had all the evidence to prove they are just greedy and opportunistic and the result of deposit came in my favour for 95% of deposit. Never ever rent with them. Specially the ageny rebecca kellet who just wants to put tenants in misery.

I was a landlord , initially using miller metcalfe who sold the lease of a preoperty i was renting out to northwood based in Bolton , wich meant in laymans terms they were in breach of contract and in breach of data protection , I have never received a single statment from either miller metcalfe nor from northwood , there have been multiple structural alterations and damage to the propertty including a lot of theft and down right malicious damage ! therefore i have decided to launch an online campaigne to make3 the public aware of thease rogue firms ! Who in my personal experiance have been downright dishonest and have took the proverbial , avoid this firm and its partner in mischeif miller metcalfe at all costs i would leave thjem a review well the minus !

Unprofessional company who like to try and go against trading laws . I have bought many many house’s over the years and sold but never have I had a company that send you childish emojis in emails and talk down to potential buyers they haven’t a clue how to get their sellers the best deal . Wouldn’t even consider buying anything they have to offer and wouldn’t recommend any one selling with them . Rude childish unprofessional

Good morning Jack. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, I am of course disappointed that it is to express that you were unhappy with the service that you received from ourselves. Your initial contact with us was to arrange a viewing of a property that was unfortunately fully booked but you asked to submit an offer anyway. From previous conversations with the vendor, they were wanting viewings to take place before offers were considered due to the level of works required. We did however notify the vendor of your offer, as we are required to, which included checking the chain details of your related sale, which I'm sure your estate agent will confirm. We then contacted you when a cancellation arose and accommodated a viewing for you the following day. With regards to the emoji, it was a friendly gesture (which our customers usually appreciate) due to you being unhappy with your initial contact with ourselves, so I can only apologise if it was taken out of context or offended you in any way. Since your viewing, you have emailed to withdraw your offer. I have replied to this requesting your feedback to pass on to our vendor but await a response. At this stage I can only assume that the withdrawal of your offer may be due to the property needing a lot more work than you had anticipated which is why we always advise that properties are inspected internally before offers are considered. I can only apologise that you have been unhappy with ourselves on this occasion, but we do work in our vendors best interest and have received multiple offers on the property this morning from the viewings that went ahead over the weekend. If you would like to discuss this matter further, please feel free to give me a call or alternatively drop me an email advising when you'll be free for me to give you a call. Kind regards, Lauren
