Thank you Eva G. for all your help in our property search. You worked hard, provided critical advice, nudged the other side, pulled in the managing agent to accelerate the transaction, and ensured everyone stuck to the timetable. An amazing professional. Really appreciate all.... Read more

I have had a very positive association with John D Wood & Co., for over 16 years. The company has leased and managed my flat over this period, both efficiently and professionally. I have recently sold my flat, with the assistance of Andy Harris and Lily Burgering. Andy's knowledge of the market led to an offer being received early in the process, and Lily's persistence in following through with all aspects of the sale, led to a very successful outcome. Andy and Lily both communicated with me regularly, and were available for any queries I had at any time. I can highly recommend John D Wood & Co., in relation to both leasing and selling of property, and feel grateful to have had a relationship with both departments over many years.... Read more

Have just completed on the sale and Andy and his team, in particular Lily Burgering, were fantastic. It was a lengthy and bumpy road for a number of reasons but Lily was an absolute pleasure to deal with at all times. Her communication skill set, friendly and professional manner were key and I really appreciated her weekly update calls, even if there was nothing to update me on!! Andy’s advice and knowledge of market trends were invaluable. I am delighted to have appointed this team and would, without doubt, highly recommend them.... Read more

Working with Lily Burgering was a great experience, she helped me very efficiently with my purchase, which took less than 5 weeks from offer to completion. She was always kind and helpful even in the most stressful situations. She always made me feel like I was in safe hands. I warmheartedly recommend Lily Burgering at JDW for anyone who is looking for a great professional.... Read more

Matthew Harrop is a consummate professional, who has been around the block, knows his patch intimately and runs an efficient operation. A senior estate agent who inspires confidence. In our case Matthew was very ably assisted by Angus Baker Baker whose diligence and energy contributed substantially to a very satisfactory outcome and conclusion of a sale in circumstances that were not always easy. Very happy to recommend their services to anyone looking to sell (as in our case), or buy in their part of London.... Read more

We just bought a flat from JDW Kensington and want to say a huge thanks to Andy Harris who helped sell the flat. He was very professional and worked hard to ensure we understood every step of the process. He made time to show is the flat whenever we asked and communicated strongly throughout so everyone knew what was happening. We’d highly recommend Andy and the agency. Thanks Andy.... Read more

Unfortunately, they couldn't find a buyer for my stunning flat themselves and had to enlist an outside estate agent, and had me stump up extra money to help compensate them. So they got it done after the end of the contact term, but it cost me £thousands more. This was after they earlier had asked me to agree to halt showings as demanded by an earlier (lower) offer that I reluctantly accepted. That buyer ended up walking weeks later, wasting precious time that could have been spent finding a real buyer. Estate agents are not your friend. No matter how charming they appear before their engagement contract is signed, once you sign it, they revert to their true mercenary selves, pressuring you to accept offers well below the very valuation they provided, because their only loyalty is to earning their fee. Don't get fooled. Wish I never used this JDW office.... Read more

Matthew Harrop of the John D Wood Kensington office provided exemplary service as sole agent for the sale of my home. From pre sale valuation, preparing the brochure to arranging multiple viewings whilst the property was on the market, Matthew and his team of professionals including Andy Harris, Angus Baker and Samiye Mahmoud worked tirelessly to find the right buyers and manage the negotiations on my behalf. I would have no hesitancy in recommending them to anyone who is looking to buy or sell in the Kensington area due to their local expertise, and professionalism.... Read more

In the sale of my late father's flat, which took nearly a year to complete through no fault of the agent's, I have nothing but praise for Benjamin-Thomas Ross, who worked tirelessly to ensure that I did not lose the buyer. He was extremely proactive and kept me constantly informed of the latest developments until the successful conclusion of a very complicated sale.... Read more

To sell a flat at any time is stressful. To sell a flat during the pandemic, an unprecedented recession and while I was unable to leave Sydney because of an international travel ban, is completely nerve-wracking. However, Benjamin-Thomas Ross and all at John D Wood managed to do just this and keep me calm from the other side of the world - no mean feat. The entire process, from viewings to exchange, was faultless. I was kept informed at all times about viewings and offers. My questions were answered promptly and honestly. So - I unequivocally recommend this agency in general and Ben in particular.... Read more

N Daintry

I totally recommend the team at John D Wood in Kensington. Over the past few months, I had to work out what to do with my father's flat as he has now moved to a care home. The situation wasn't straightforward as so many angles had to be considered, including sale, rental and extension of leases. This means I had dealings with various departments at JDW, and to a man, they were fantastic. They were highly experienced and knowledgeable, realistic, level-headed, courteous and just great to deal with. In the end, I sold my father's flat and there's no question that the flurry of attention the flat achieved and the resulting good price, was down to the professionalism and platform that JDW offers....

I was very discouraged about my Kensington home search before I was introduced to John D Wood.

I arrived in London on the 13rd of January, looking for an apartment..and after meeting Tania from John D Wood, I had my great 1-bed flat in Chelsea by the following week! We had a brief chat, and she swiftly found the right apartment for my needs. Tania was extremely kind, always replied to my phone calls or text even late in the afternoon, and she helped me also on a saturday when she should have been on leave.. Her support was crucial in obtaining the contract, and I will always be grateful to her for her warm and gentle assistance. Absolutely recommended.... Read more

They suggested properties for viewing that matched my criteria, and once I had found the right one, the process was very straightforward and there were no unexpected charges. The rental team, Sally Hamilton and Magdalena Kotara have been superb - really helpful and efficient, both through the initial period and ongoing tenancy!... Read more

The help I received from Sally and Magdelena has been thoroughly professional, organized and personable. They were most helpful in advising me on what to say in my application to the landlord of the flat I was most keen on, and I was approved for the tenancy! When I finally met Sally in person (I was applying from overseas), she could not have been a nicer or friendlier person. I highly recommend this office, as I had a marvelous experience, and will be moving into the perfect flat shortly!... Read more

I had just arrived in London, and was looking at many apartments. Tania, who assisted me in finding an apartment was super helpful. She showed me options of the specifications I gave her, which was very efficient and avoided loosing my time, as opposing to other agencies who shoed me lots of bad places. She was so efficient that I found what I was looking for much before I imagined, which was amazing. She helped me with tips in what to do as a 1st comer and the process after that was very smooth. Magdalena was also very helpful in the conclusion process. Thank you Tania for the wonderful experience.... Read more

We picked a listing on RightMove and contacted the agent, which turned out to be John D Wood. We love the flat, but it didn't hurt to have JDW manage the process. We appreciated the clear communication channel - from arranging viewing, making an offer, landlord's response to the offer, arranging a meeting with the landlord, signing the agreement, and moving in. Service was prompt, friendly and professional throughout.... Read more
