Great service & experience

From very first contact - JW Wood have been brilliant & hyper efficient! Communication has been superb and customer service 2nd to none! I would like to mention two members of staff in particular: Julie who met me for the viewing - super friendly, honest, helpful & constructive! Also, Ella who has been dealing with me from the office from point of enquiry! She understood & accommodated my communication restrictions, dealt with & responded rapidly, handled everything without delay/issue/concern + played a major part in the smooth progression of my house process! Many thanks team!

Unethical Company

I would not recommend this landlord or organisation based on my experience. When we moved in, the property was not prepared as promised, and many serious issues required attention immediately. Despite raising these concerns, the landlord did not respond to complaints or engage in any meaningful dialogue to resolve them. Additionally, outstanding bills from before our tenancy had not been cleared, which caused further complications and debt collectors.

Communication was poor throughout, and key assurances made to us were not followed through. Based on this, I would not buy or rent a property from this organisation, as I found their approach unprofessional, unreliable and unethical.

Would highly recommend

Me and my partner had a fantastic experience with JW Wood in Darlington, and we would especially like to mention Fiona, who throughout the process was incredibly helpful. From start to finish she was professional, approachable and always quick to respond to any questions we had. Would highly recommend.

Rude,Unhelpful

Rude,Unhelpful, It is because of staff like this that give estate agents the reputation of the most hated people to do business with, I feel sorry for the people whose property they are selling because they are no good at dealing with purchasers, I would never even consider dealing with these people again and strongly advise anyone else to so the same as there are hundreds of estate agents to chose from.

I would never buy a house again from this estate agent ! From complete lies in the process to even finding out from the seller the same poor experience! It has been shambolic… it has been on occasions intrusive …a key point is use Darlington branch but the sale is supervised by Durham .. staff quoted “we aren’t trusted”
Best of luck to sellers and buyers mine took 7 months and felt I need to placate to ensure it was successful … very stressful indeed !

I had great service from All at J W Woods. From firstly purchasing my home through them. Julie who showed me around informing me of everything I asked. To the staff keeping me uptown date with my purchase. Again when I sold the property (I wanted the garden to build my new home in). Gary visiting and going through the sales procedure. Again, Julie bringing a seller to view and helping with the sale. Tony keeping me upto date with the seller this time. My whole experience was easy and smooth. Thank you to all staff at J W Woods
