Great experience with John D Wood
I couldn’t thank David at the Docklands branch enough for his outstanding support throughout our property rental journey. This has genuinely been the best experience we’ve ever had with an estate agent. He was always quick to respond, highly proactive, and incredibly effective at solving any issues that came up. It was clear he was completely on top of everything from start to finish. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a smooth and stress-free rental experience!
Quick and stress-free move
I had a really good experience working with Paris Merico from John D Wood & Co. while looking for a flat in Notting Hill. He was super quick, practical, and always easy to reach—replying straight away to calls and messages and really trying to sort things out fast.
He made the whole process feel simple and stress-free, which was a huge help. In the end, he helped us find a lovely apartment in Notting Hill with great landlords.
Would definitely recommend him if you’re looking for a solid and efficient agent.

I just moved into a new flat in Notting Hill. The team was always very responsive, on top of everything! I’m so happy with my new property and the service they’ve provided.
Easy first time buying experience at JDW
Working with Sophie and the rest of her team to purchase my first flat has been great. Always quick to get back to me, friendly and making the home buying experience positive.
David Alexander, associate director of John D Wood property
I have known David Alexander, the associate director of John D Wood &Co London, country & international property for more than 15 years and my property In London has been managed by his agency from time to time. David is very professional and always gives me very practical and helpful advice when I need it. I highly recommend David to be your property manager.
Unprofessional, delayed response, terrible experience
To the Management Team,
I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding the unacceptable service we received during our move-in process.
My brother secured this tenancy by paying the security deposit and 12 months of rent in advance. Despite this significant financial commitment and the fulfillment of all our obligations, the agency failed to provide the keys on the agreed-upon date. We were left without access to the property for four days.
To make matters worse, upon finally receiving the keys, we discovered there was no hot water in the flat. This meant that after a four-day delay, we were still unable to live in the property comfortably.
This level of negligence is unprofessional and a clear breach of our rental agreement. I expect a formal apology and a pro-rata refund for the four days we were denied access to the property. Unbelievable service!!! Would definetely not recommend this agency....
Big Thank you to David and His team at Dockland & City Branch!
We have been working with David Alexander and his team at the John D Wood Docklands & City Branch for many years and can confidently say that the service we have received has been consistently outstanding. I have personally had the pleasure of dealing directly with David Alexander for the past six years, and throughout that time the level of professionalism, care, and dedication has been exceptional.
David and his team are always on hand when needed and regularly go above and beyond to ensure that we are well looked after as clients, while also making sure our tenants’ needs are met. Whether assisting with property purchases, sales, lettings, or the day‑to‑day management of our portfolio, they are unfailingly knowledgeable, proactive, and solution‑focused. David is also a steady and reassuring presence, Always ready with clear advice, practical problem‑solving, and the ability to keep me calm during stressful moments!
We have also been fortunate to work with some excellent property managers over the years, including Razvan, Ope, Elena, and several other dedicated team members, all of whom have been incredibly helpful, diligent, and professional in their dealings with us.
A big heartfelt thank you to David and the entire John D Wood team. We truly value the relationship and would not hesitate to recommend them.
Great service every time.
Have always had an excellent experience with Ben Butler, who has assisted me with selling a number of my properties in Canary Wharf over the years. He provides sound advice, and offers excellent knowledge of the local markets.
Great experience
I recently worked with Paris Merico from the Notting Hill branch, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. He helped us with letting and was friendly, professional, and reliable throughout the entire process. I highly recommend him
Amazing service
I was directed to Opemi from the Docklands and City branch and I am amazed by the service that I received. She helped me find a property that suits my requirements and her professional was excellent.
5 Star Service
Worked with Opemi Mafimisebi from the Docklands office recently and it was a pleasure of working with her as I couldn’t be more impressed with the service I received. From start to finish, she handled my enquiry with professionalism and genuine care.

Fresh in the UK and never let a property, was a little nervous but david and the docklands team were amazing, guided me through the whole process and even met me at the property for the move in.
Desperately waiting for the keys
It has been already two days since signing the rent agreement and paying upfront the full rent for a year yet the keys not released. I don't recommend to use JDW's services for real estate rentals. It is a total disaster and frustration.
Day 3: The cupboard door is broken and there's no hot water in the house. My disappointment is at its peak. Andrea and Prue, whom I was in contact with during the rental process, unfortunately haven't responded to my calls or messages. They always had an excuse. They haven't inspected the premise once for any defects before renting it.

I had a fantastic experience with David and the Docklands team. They were professional, approachable, and incredibly helpful throughout. As a first-time renter, I was a bit unsure of the process, but they made everything feel simple and completely stress-free.
