Very experienced and helpful estate agents in York, I would recommend them to my family and friends.

I have let my property through Northwood from late 2010. They have always found excellent tenants who treated the property extremely well, and always ensured prompt payment of rent. I travel a lot, so I paid for a high level of service - dealing with issues as they arose, when they were not able to contact me. This was expensive, but a real boon for someone in my situation. Every time I needed help or advice they were always quick and gave good advice. I would happily use their services again.

I don't care for your response so do me the courtesy please of leaving my review alone, I will delete and repost otherwise. I bear you no malice, you were a reasonable team and good with me but 3 stars isn't to be seen as a bad thing or something to be concerned over. But please kindly respect what I'm asking, and take comfort and trust in these words. But please I kindly ask you leave my review alone I will delete and repost otherwise.

Helpful initially with quick turnaround and getting us in. Overcharged us for leaving the flat in a cleaner condition than it was found, charged £75 to fit 3 lightbulbs... Only responded to requests for things to be fixed if they immediately could have cause significant harm but made year long excuses as to why other tasks didn't get done throughout the whole tenancy and still weren't completed on us moving out. Also re-rented a fine but significantly ageing property at a ridiculously inflated price from £925pcm in 2021 to £1200pcm in 2022 having no updating work done on it. Better experience with these than Hunter's though!

Lucienne, thanks for your comments. I hope the move to your new home went well and you are all settled in. I'm sorry you feel frustrated at the check out process. It in no way benefits us to find things we have to charge a tenant for its just extra work but something that is part of our job we'd far rather find no issues that we had to deal with. It would have cost you less than £75 to change the bulbs but we have to send a contractor to do it. Pleased to see you thought we did a good job for our landlord when we re-let it, we had a few applications as well. Thanks again, Chris

Northwood in York looked after the renting of our property for a few years, and subsequently the sale of the house. In general we were very unhappy with the service they offered - frequently having to chase them up for information, waiting ages for people getting back to us and missing out on basic things you would expect a competent property management company to do. Not recommended.

I don’t write reviews normally but feel I need to this company is terrible my friend lived in her property for 17 years with no issues but because this company is greedy and wanted £200 more a month my friend is living in a half way house so don’t think they are for there tenants I don’t think they care they are greedy

Kim, thanks for letting us know your views. You'll appreciate that I'm limited in what I can say. What I can say is that there are two sides to every story, the rent increase was less than £200, the new rent was still £200 or so below market value and there hadn't been a rent increase for well over 3 years. There is also an established process to appeal unfair rent increases through a rent tribunal which wasn't taken up. I think you might be surprised how hard we work to look after our client's interests and also be fair to our tenants. If you'd like to speak to me feel free get in touch. Kind regards, Chris

Worst experience of an agency we have ever had. We wrote a very detailed review here of Northwood initially but it was, conveniently for them, removed. Avoid this shambles of an agency at all costs - unhelpful and unprofessional at all levels.

Matthew, thanks for this Firstly, if your review was removed it had nothing to do with us. We have not and wouldn't remove reviews, transparency is too important. It is impossible in what we do to keep everyone happy all of the time though, we do put a lot of effort into doing so. To pretend that everyone is happy, all of the time would be false advertising but we stand by our professionalism, the quality of our service to our landlords and our very keen desire to look after our tenants as best we can. Thanks for reviewing us again and I wish you all the best for the future. Chris

Aweful customer service, harrassed for rent every month, even though it was paid on time, took advantage of us

Reply from agent

Thanks for your review. I'm sorry if you feel a reminder email sent on the day your rent is due, if it hadn't arrived by that point, was harassment. Many tenants set up a standing order and it arrives on the day its due, others do it by a bank transfer and are often very grateful for the reminder. If there is a reason why the rent might be late, its important we know because the sooner we do, the easier it is to manage the situation for both the landlord's and tenant's benefit. I am sorry though, that you felt it was harassment, that would be the last thing we wanted to do so I'm sorry if it felt that way. I'm not sure how we took advantage of you but I'm happy to look into it if you contact me at chrisray@nortwhooduk.com or at 01904 638999. I wish you all the best for the future. Kind regards, Chris
