Just moved into our new property at Shotley Bridge, Consett. From the first contact to the time we moved in we had a first class exprience from the Consett branch of JW Wood. The communications were excellent throughout and they even had an after sales service to mop up the inevitable issues that emerge post sale and a 'moving in' welcome pack stuffed with goodies and additional helpful information. Thank you JW Wood!!!

Told us of a property new to the market, when I looked at pics I thought not for us but we viewed anyway, blown away was an understatement! It was like he saw my dream! He was friendly efficient and always there on the other end of the phone to sort the purchase quickly! Thank you so much to you and your team excellent service!
