A cautionary tale indeed. We had our property let through Northwood. Would not recommend them at all. We have 2 rooms where our carpet has been ripped out and replaced by cheap rubbish. In the kitchen the hob and sink need replacing and even though it states quite clearly in the contract that the oven should be left clean ours is so filthy we will have to get professionals in to clean it. During the period the property was let we were so disgusted by the deterioration of the decor that we paid to have the rooms redecorated only to discover that the rooms have just had lining paper put up, no paint and the job is so poor that it hasn’t even be stuck down properly. BUT the worse thing has been to discover that cable tv has been fitted. We have 2 large cable dishes attached to the back of our property along with miles of cables. Holes have been drilled into the property To enable metres of cable to be put through. In the bedroom a hole has even been drilled through the side of the fitted wardrobe to put cable through. This cannot be repaired. Really I would like to have given no stars.
