I would honestly say that Northwood Wirral are the worst letting agents that I have ever dealt with, substandard properties, non-existent customer service skills (except Sam and Kim they tried on occasion to help), they are the type of agents that give letting a bad name. We moved into a property that we were told was long term let, from day one we had nothing but issues from the actual cleanliness of the property at handover – Claimed it had been professionally cleaned, well if that’s what they call professional then I dread to think what their own homes are like it was thick with grime, disgusting and rather offensive that they would deem it acceptable for a new tenant. Every time there was an issue it was an uphill battle to get anything done, always an excuse from poor communication within the office to waiting on approvals basically taking no responsibility. In some cases repairs were not undertaken for over 100 days despite them stating that they will react within 28 days. Each email sent was ignored and constantly had to chase up the office for any sort of communication. Some of the issues we had Northwood Wirral staff were clearly unaware or lacked basic understanding of the legal requirements particularly when it came to electrical installation works in residential letting properties. The substandard level of some of the so called tradesmen they send out its debatable, more like odd job men that qualified tradespeople so they obviously do not have any quality management system in place. The staff are rude and incompetent and appear to never talk to each other or just have that much disrespect for you as a tenant they don't care. They’re meant to act as the agent between you and the landlord but actually do nothing for you as a paying tenant but treat you with utter distain as if being a letting agent makes them any better than you and didn’t even help us the tenant when the landlord breached contract and they were informed. Northwood Wirral don’t reply to formal complaints raised just more evidence of the lack of professional and competent management at Heswall, that’s if you can actually make a complaint as they have one generic inbox that when you chase up they claim to have not seen your email. Whilst our complaint was eventually acknowledged by Helen there was no formal rectification or response from the management pertaining to the issues raised just a statement trying to absolve themselves to which we responded and yet still nothing back. If you value sanity and a simple life do not bother entertaining a rental property through these cowboys its honestly not worth it. I’ve let properties in London, Dubai etc and these are by far the most substandard organisation that I have ever had the misfortune to deal with and advise anyone to steer clear of Northwood Heswall at all costs.NegativeResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Shocking truly shocking. Never have I experienced such a band of crooks as this lot. They will lie and deceive you every step of the way. They are oblivious to their legal obligation. They do not care one jot as long as the rent is coming in. They will abandon you in living conditions similar to that of the 1950s. They will only carry out repair or maintenance when threatened with legal action. DO NOT RENT OFF THIS COMPANY

My son and his mother have been left in a house that is not fit for living in for months with no effort made to make this house a safe environment, your director Joanne reviewed the house in may and outlined many issues that needed to be resolved. You have continued to demand rent through this period without making the place safe. You've been reported to the local MP and councillors, there's nothing positive to say about the experience at all.

Expensive agent with expensive charges. Would not recommend

Reply from agent

Dear Mr Taylor, thank you for your feedback. It is always good to get constructive feedback from tenants that left one of our properties over 3 years ago. I am sorry that you felt our fees were expensive, when compared to many other agents on the Wirral we are one of the most competitive. I hope you are happy with where you are living now and would like to wish you well for the future. Regards Northwood.

Never met such an unprofessional estate agent. Recently moved out of a property and they are charging us left right and centre for things which are totally unfair. We cleaned the house up and down thoroughly including cleaning carpets (which we installed as carpet fitters). We have been charged for them to get someone in to clean the already clean carpets. Plug sockets need testing although none were tested when we moved in and its just totally unfair! This company bully their way in and dont want to gove you yoir deposit back at the end of your agreement. THIS COMPANY ARE BULLYS DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!

Dear Mr Gilbertson, thank you for your review on Google it is always good to get feedback from tenants that are moving out of our properties. I am sorry that you feel we are "charging you left, right and centre" when we have not charged you for anywhere near the things we should have. We have been incredibly lenient. You should have been charged for the following:- 1. A full property clean - it was not left clean. WE ARE NOT CHARGING FOR THIS. 2. All carpets to be cleaned, they had not been professionally cleaned, you had cleaned a few patches, we are only charging you for the lounge, hallway and stairs. NOT CHARGING FOR ALL ROOMS. 3. Redecoration throughout - you have wallpapered and painted and not returned the property to how it was when you moved in. When you moved in 2 years ago the property had been freshly decorated in magnolia throughout. WE ARE NOT CHARGING FOR THIS. 4. With regard to the electric sockets, you took it upon yourself to put extra electric sockets and aerials into the property without permission from the property owner. The safety of the next tenant in the property is the landlord's responsibility, we therefore have to have a fixed wiring test carried out at your expense to make sure the electrics are safe. YOU ARE BEING CHARGED FOR THE TEST. 5. The oven has to be cleaned - you didn't clean it. WE ARE NOT CHARGING FOR THIS. 6. New batteries in the smoke alarms - you had removed them and not replaced them. WE ARE NOT CHARGING FOR THIS. 7. 2 bulbs missing from light fittings. WE ARE NOT CHARGING FOR THIS. So please don't call us bullies, we have been incredibly fair. You have not kept to your responsibilities when handing the property back. We do want to give tenants their full deposit back and that is why we had a pre check out property inspection with you to advise on what work was your responsibility in order for you to receive your full deposit without any deductions. It is not our fault if you have ignored our advice. We have many outgoing tenants that listen to us and receive their full deposit back. How would you feel if it was your property handed back in a condition where work was required that was the tenant's responsibility? I would like to wish you well for the future in your new property.

Absolute gang of idiots. That's all can say

Reply from agent

Dear Mr Jones, Thank you for your comments on Google, it is always good to get feedback whether positive or negative. We don't have any record of ever having had a client called John Jones I'm afraid so I can't give a constructive response to your comment of us being a "gang of idiots". If you would like to get in touch with our office directly I would be happy to discuss your comments in detail to see where we went wrong. I will look forward to hearing from you. Regards Joanna
