Recently bought a property via Northwoods. All of the staff were pleasant and professional, did what they said they were going to do and responded promptly when contacted . I was very impressed.
Northwood valued my property, conducted some viewings and we agreed a sale price in August 2022. I didn't hear a peep from them until the completion date in February 2023, presumably because they wanted paying their £2,400. I would have thought they would have chased solicitors etc but they didn't. Reply to Comment by Northwood: I am not unhappy with the time it took to complete on the sale. I am unhappy with the fact that I did not have any correspondance from Northwood for 6 months and in that time they did nothing to expedite the sale.
You valued my property, conducted some viewings and we agreed on a sale price in August 2022. I didn't hear a peep from you until the completion date in February 2023, presumably because you wanted paying your ??2,400, which incidentally was more than my solicitor's costs. I would have thought you would have chased solicitors etc but you didn't.
Very unprofessional and unreliable. They did not turn up to a viewing despite myself and my partner showing up on time. We had no contact from them or anything. I do not recommend these at all.
Just called the Southport office to enquire about a property on behalf of my daughter who’s a first time buyer, didn’t get a chance to explain the situation as I was met with a very abrasive saleswoman who said in a rather patronising tone that they had received numerous calls about the property and the buyer needed to have cash and complete within two weeks. Maybe putting this information in the advert would stop people wasting their time and maybe if the staff don’t care much for talking to the public they may want to consider a career change. Finally the staff may also want to remember that when the next recession hits (which it will at some point) the very people they are currently brushing aside could be a potential future customer, or maybe not !!
