Overall very satisfied with the speed and quality of service by their agents. An awesome team with service-friendly minds. Despite that, I do have a couple points of critique, more relating to the renting experience for this specific property: 1. It was not always clear which party I should contact for which issue. In my experience I found it a bit of a nuisance that I had to contact the landlord rather than Northwood for most maintenance issues. 2. The property was found by us in inadequate condition on the day of move-in. Defect electrical shower, loose kitchen cupboard panels, malfunctioning lights, etc. 3, Vital information such as meter readings and gate entry codes were either not or incorrectly communicated, which caused some issues with third parties (such as utility providers and couriers) shortly after moving in. Aside from these couple of points, all contact was professional and prompt.
I have been trying to arrange a viewing for an apartment for weeks. I called multiple times and was told to fill in the enquiry form online which I explained I had already done and not heard anything back. I was emailed the same form twice to fill out and still got no response. I even explained that my current tenancy is about to run out so I need to move as soon as possible. I rang today to chase this up and was told an application has been put in for the flat on the back of a viewing. I asked why no one had got back to me or allowed me to book a viewing and the woman called Sophie then hung up on me! Sophie seemed very disinterested in the conversation and just wanted to get me off the phone. I am so shocked at the way Northwood have handled this. I would never recommend them to anyone.
Ridiculous contracts.. very poor service.. avoid avoid avoid.!!!!
Myself and my pregnant wife rented a property from Northwood. From very early on we had ongoing issues of harassment and bullying from one of their other tennants next door, all caught on CCTV. Kerry was very dismissive and rude to us when … More
Recently rented a property from northwood. Annie and the team were lovely at first, but when we had ongoing issues, they were very dismissive and rude to us, i.e., not our problem attitude.
This has been the worst experience with an estate agent! Initially, the property seemed ok , but within a month, everything started to fall apart. Our belongings became mouldy, the cellar was constantly damp and had a musty smell, and the … More
I’ve used this company for lettings they have caused me many problems and thousands of pounds of repairs. With their clearly inadequate vetting of prospective tenants. Avoid if you value your property and hard earned cash. I’ve been landlord and developer for over 30years. I’ve used all of em these are the worst.there is still one or two gooduns out there.

Very bad experience overall.
