Thank you for your support Sarah Graham

I am in the process of buying a house and I couldn't have done without the help of Sarah Graham! She has been always extremely helpful and supportive throughout the process. Sarah always understood my busy schedule and made everything smooth and stress-free as a first-time buyer. She quickly recommended me all of the services needed for the buying process and I will always be thankful for her help. Thank you!

Fast and helpful, great result

I bought this house through JWW four years ago and had no hesitation to use them again. The viewing by the estate agent took place with photos taken on the same day. The house was on the market within seven days, five viewings booked and made, three offers and a sale agreed in under two weeks start to finish. Very helpful and efficient. Thank you to Jonathan and Nikki

Swift and Easy Process

Nicky Hall did a wonderful job with helping me with my purchase. Kept me up to date, was prompt when sending things through via email and answered any questions I had.
Any timing issues were down to the vendor taking time to reply and not JWW at fault.

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.
