Enquired online about a property and rang the next day after not hearing anything back, spoke to Ollie who seemed friendly and professional and helped arrange a viewing for the following day, told to keep an eye out for an email confirming the viewing. An hour later and I unfortunately missed a call from Northwood, but was left a voicemail, this was from Ollie and again he was professional but wanted to let me know that unfortunately the viewing could not be arranged as the landlord was not interested in my enquiry and to ring back if I wanted more information. This is were the low rating comes from, I rang back and Ollie did not answer, an unknown female answered as all I got was 'Hello Northwood' I explained I was ringing regarding my enquiry and had just missed a call from Ollie, she seemed to want to get me off the phone as soon as possible as the only feedback she gave was 'yeah, the landlord doesn't think the property is best suited for you' I already knew this as it was mentioned in the voicemail, before I could respond, all I got was 'thank you, bye', realizing she clearly wasn't interested in giving any proper feedback as to why me and my partner were not suitable for the property, I ended the call and wouldn't use Northwood in the future purely down to this unknown woman. What started out as a pleasant experience ruined by the rudeness of 1 individual.

Hello Tom, please accept our apologies that you have had to leave this review. There are a few discrepancies in your review, you are correct that we didn't call you the same day as your enquiry but unfortunately we are not open on a Sunday which is when the email came in. As you can imagine on a Monday we have quite a few enquiries to go through after the weekend, but again, apologies if we didn't get straight back to you. We did make you aware on the first phone call that the property would not be suitable for a couple and a friend due to the living space as well as the financial aspect. This was discussed internally and sadly we decided that we wouldn't be able to go through with the viewing. Again we apologise if you were not happy with the second phone call, I can only imagine the phone was answered in a busy moment and you did not get the response you felt was appropriate. We will look into ensuring this doesn't happen again. Thank you

I had a terrible experience with them, Highly unprofessional staff and totally time waster. Mr Fawad wasted our weeks and forced us to put an offer on a property, When we placed an offer he said offer as been accepted and confirmed with us on email and after few days he emailed us that someone else buying bcz he received and higher offer that property he showed other people behind us. I won't recommend them at all.

I don't recommend renting from this agency at all. We rented a house and then our daughter had Leukaemia, in 2018, we asked them to change the carpet as the bacteria could cause a fatal infection. They refused. The carpet in the house was fitted since 1989. Our daughter's oncology hospital sent them a letter telling them how risky the bacteria are for her hickmen line and her low immunity. They tried to chase the hospital and then refused to change the carpet. Their answer was described by many readers as so very heartless. The hospital advised us to ignore them and clean the carpet as much as possible and we cover it with rugs because we had no time to complain to the right people. We had a very stressful time and we were busy with the hospital trips and stays. Then after, they advertised for a bungalow for rent we requested to move out and rent the bungalow. They refused to rent us out the bungalow and the reason was because only my husband was working and their new policy requests that me and my husband should be both working. But staying where we were, their policy works OK for one person to be working. Again her answer was described by many as discrimination against. Sue is, as described by other reviewers, patronised and she thinks she knows something. I only witnessed her doing good when she put her gloves and cleaned the hood the day we moved. But she better could have done this before renting out us this house. AVOID AVOID AVOID this agency.

Anthony and Antoinette, sadly as like other reviews you are missing a put a lot of the information and you are only leaving this review after a very lengthy tenancy of which you continued with no complaint like this at any time and perhaps coincidently, now your deposit has been returned. The reason carpets were not replaced was because there was nothing wrong with them. They were in a good clean condition when you moved in however you refused to clean them no matter how many times you were asked. It is the responsibility of tenants to keep the carpets in a clean condition. If they become dirty from use it is therefore not at the expense of the landlord that they are professionally cleaned . Any concerns about bacterial infection is based on this level of routine cleanliness and the representative from the oncology team who approached us, soon dismissed any possible worries about the property concerns when they were advised of this . Allowing any young children, particularly with such health issues, to run around a public house / restaurant without socks/ shoes would not be advisable. Unfortunately there are financial thresholds that all tenants for all houses must meet. Every maintenance issue that needed dealing with in your 7/8 year tenancy was always addressed and completed. No one has ever been patronising in any way to you, we have always conducted all conversations and meetings in a purely professional manner- despite not always receiving the same in return. Therefore unsure where your comments regarding this have stemmed from. I’m glad Sue was able to finish your cleaning as a final help to your family and save you the money of paying a cleaner to do it.
