I found this company to be incompetent. The service is poor and the willingness to help is zero. I am glad that I no longer have to deal with them. Good luck to anyone that does.

Pathetic company, they tie you in knots with contracts. One of the stipulations in the contract states that should you wish to end the lease you must give 2 months notice. Should Northwood fail to find a new tenant you must continue paying the rent. It took them several weeks to send round a contractor to make sure the house was well maintained. They had the audacity to claim the floor needed cleaned again after them having the keys for 2-3 weeks. Stay well away from this company.

They manage our property on riverside drive, Absolutely shocking service for a 12% fee!!! Our rent goes in anywhere in a 10 day 'zone', No consistency at all!! Very rarely reply to emails either, sooooo disappointed :-(

Charismatic, but that's all.

Charismatic, but that's all. They fail to call back for over a week at best, and if you dare put an offer in on a place they won't contact you until they've received a better offer from someone else. Also make sure you know everything you can do to hold a place, like filling in an actual application form and paying a holding fee beforehand, because they sure as hell won't tell you anything you don't ask about. And don't be fooled by their charismatic and seemingly helpful tone of voice, they don't care about you, no matter how difficult your situation.

Dear Ben, Whilst I am happy to hear from clients I am afraid that in this case given the inaccuracies and innuendoes in your comments I feel I must respond. Having looked into your case it appears that you called the office prior to the bank holiday weekend to make what to use your words was a ‘cheeky offer', well below the advertised rent. Now there is nothing wrong with this and in fact we encourage it, but we are legally and contractually required to refer offers to the landlord. You were told this at the time and also I believe that given the level of the offer it would be unlikely that the landlord would accept it. On the following Monday when we partially re opened we received another enquiry from someone who wanted the property at the advertised price. When you called you were told this you increased your offer to the same level. Both parties were told to complete the referencing paperwork and were told that no application would be accepted until we had received completed applications. You and they submitted the paperwork and because we had two applicants either of whom would have been suitable in our eyes we asked the landlord if they had any preferences. Disappointingly for you in this case they chose the other applicant. My staff then explained the situation to you and told you that because we were happy with your paperwork if there was another property you were interested in then we would accept an application for that. At no time did we tell you we would take the property of the market for you or the other party, we don't do that until a completed application and holding deposit has been received and we wouldn't accept an application until the landlord agreed the offer. Additionally we did tell you that your ‘offer' would have to be agreed by the landlord, as we are legally obliged to do. Fundamentally you made the choice to make a lower over forcing us to refer it, there is nothing wrong with that but it was your choice. If you had offered the advertised rent and completed the paperwork etc then the property would have been off the market at that point and no other offers would have been entertained. I am afraid that I feel that in this case you have given us a poor review for fundamentally doing our job and you not getting what you want. Well sometimes that's just the way it goes. Regards, Nick Horan Belvoir Dundee

Put an application in. Never had a word back. All contact was from my side. Not one call from the company. Shocking customer service.

Do not use this

Do not use this agency!!! My husband and I have received appalling service from Northwood Dundee and when trying to cancel our contract with them, because we can no longer trust them to carry out the job in which we pay them to do, they have a very unfair clause in our contract which stipulates we cannot break the agreement until the current tenancy is over. They also have another clause in the contract which stipulates we cannot provide the current tenant which they have found for us with a new tenancy agreement during the first 6 months after their end of tenancy date. This leaves us in a very difficult position because it is forcing us to end a tenancy with our current Tenant (who is due to have a baby next month) in July and find new Tenants. We are not looking to cancel the contract because we no longer want to pay them for their service; we are looking to cancel on the grounds that they are not providing us with the service in which we are paying them for. Our rent payments are always received about a week late and after several attempts to contact the agency I am given the reply that they '

You don't have to get new tenants, just keep the ones you have if you're happy with them and do not renew the tenancy agreement - you will have a rolling contract which is absolutely fine and you won't breach the agreement with Northwood. Even if you do give your tenants a new contract, there's not much Northwood can do IMHO. I'm not a property professional or a lawyer though.
