A talented, personable, house sale team, who really know the area. Their expertise and support hugely impacted on the inevitable stress of selling my home. Communications were relevant and timely. I felt supported throughout the process. This resulted in house sale from going to the market to completion within 6 months.I would particularly mention, Victoria and Alex who were able to work with me and guide me through the sale process. I would recommend John D Wood to anyone in Battersea wanting to sell their house... Read more

Horrific experience with Victoria Richards, who was incredibly rude throughout our communications.

Fraudulent behaviour - avoid.... Read more

A truly fantastic lettings service due to the friendly, capable and efficient team led by Josh. They were proactive in finding me a new tenant and kept me in the loop with their progress. I also found their honesty and pragmatic approach refreshing as I never felt pushed to a particular price or towards a particular tenant- they were professional and open in their discussions and I really appreciated that.

After a painful multi-month process of trying to find a flat in London and being subject to the highly impersonal and indifferent approach taken by the majority of the agents we dealt with, John D. Wood - and specifically the wonderful Rosie McCarthy - came to the rescue. They have been brilliant in getting us into what is our dream flat and we could not be happier. We feel really looked after by the company and by Rosie, and highly recommend her and John D. Wood if you are trying to find a property in the areas they cover. Rosie was so thorough, professional and warm in her approach - it felt like having someone on your side.
We could not recommend her and John D. Wood enough. Thank you to John D. Wood and the wonderful Rosie McCarthy!... Read more

John D Wood in Battersea has looked after my property for a number of years, firstly letting my property and most recently selling it for me. In particular, Sophie Deedes who oversaw the sale was fantastic; professional, patient and proactive and I always felt that my best interests were being looked after.
The same can be said of Alex Oppenheim who spoke to me several times about the sales market over the years and Anntonia Redding the lettings manager who let the flat for me for several years before I sold it.

So basically the new strategy that lettings agents advise and probably convince landlord to go by is:
1. List the propriety for a lower price to generate interest
2. Tell people that make offers that someone has already offered the asking price so that they can start a bidding war and drive the price up
3. Play new tenants into paying more for the actual propriety.
Very nice.
If you hear them saying that someone has already offered the asking price know that they were never looking to accept the asking price and just make you take part in their bidding war which means they are a very sleazy agency and you definitely don't want to be conned by them! Be smart.
I hope this review helps some people realize what has become of the lettings market. Shame on you letting agents.... Read more

John D. Wood on Battersea Park was a first class, blue ribbon company to do business with in every respect. Lettings agent, Anntonia Redding was helpful, supportive and highly professional in every was that could be expected by a lettings customer: intelligent, polite, very well-mannered, thorough, knowledgable and empathetic. She is very respectful of her organization while still being very understanding and supportive of her customer. That is a very fine tuned place from where to conduct business. I have no doubt that she will soar high professionally.

House-hunting in Central London is not exactly a spa break, to say the least. After months of dealing with several agents, and growing increasingly disheartened, it was positively a relief to land at John D Wood in Battersea. Antonia was absolutely outstanding from the off, in every respect, and a genuine pleasure to deal with as a person. She was incredibly attentive and intuitive to what I was looking for from a property, however specific, and from that point, only suggested properties that truly fit the bill. This alone is a stand-out trait; Antonia singles herself out from the swathes of time-wasting agents who suggest irrelevant properties and telephone incessantly. Unlike my experiences with other agencies, I never once felt pressured, or part of a sales target, and this is entirely owing to Antonia's very human approach to the task. She was even so kind as to let me see a property before she listed it - partly out of confidence that I would love it (which I instantly did), and in sensitivity to my personal circumstances. The deal was signed and sealed that afternoon - swift, painless, and incredibly efficient. I would not hesitate to recommend her, or John D Wood, as a first port of call to anyone house-hunting in London.... Read more
