Renting has changed a whole lot since I was previously a tenant about 15 years ago, and I was shocked by the number of hoops it is necessary to jump through in order to secure a tenancy these days - however, I'm assured by renting friends that this is the norm!
My personal experience of Northwood in Truro is that their agents are both polite and helpful insofar as they can be - obviously,they have to work within certain confines, but whenever I had a query they were quick to get back to me and generally settled issues to our satisfaction. My only gripe would be the cleanliness of the property at the start of the tenancy, which in my opinion did not constitute the 'good' category that was ticked for the various areas of the house - it was in fact pretty poor - but then cleanliness is subjective I suppose. Other than this, Northwood were a pleasure to deal with as a tenant and I would recommend them. The staff all seem lovely - not the faceless drones you might expect from such an agency! I am leaving this review a year after moving out of the property, as they continue to be helpful even though I am no longer a tenant, having today agreed to supply me with a copy of a receipt that I lost.

Northwood have been a breath of fresh air. The team are so organised and everything is dealt with on time. Rent Payments comes through on the day after tenants have paid and we have found the whole experience of being Landlords so easy from onset. ...

Dear 'green&peace',
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We have never dealt with somebody with your names, or in fact 'greenpeace'. If you have a genuine complaint, we would be pleased to deal with it under our procedures and if you had made that complaint, you would be aware that it would be ourselves who were responding. If you have a genuine complaint (not one where you cannot say too much), we would be delighted to address the matter. You leave us with no alternative other t ...

I do think that the fees, as a percentage of the value of the rental were a little on the high side.

Hi Amanda, Thank you for our comments and taking the time to write a review. It has been a pleasure working with you. Our fees are very much middle of the market but we believe our service is at the top end. We try to ensure this by investing heavily in staff and technology to ensure that we let our properties quickly and then look after them through regular inspections which we record using the latest technology and forward to owners. We are also licensed by ARLA and APIP and therefore invest i ...

Hi Mary, Thank you for taking the time to review the company and we are delighted that your experience has been mostly positive. Having reviewed your inventory, it is 202 pages for a 6 bedroomed high quality house in central Truro which is normal. The reason for the detail is that we are a member of The Association of Professional Inventory Providers and therefore have very strict quality standards which we always aim to exceed! If there is anything else that we can do to improve your experience ...

Dear Anne, Good to hear that you are safe. The apartment was taken off the market and reserved for you but you didn't show up to check in. You signed a fee schedule which we have in the office and paid the fee to reserve the property as yours which it was. There were no false pretenses. You were not misled and we pride ourselves on letting properties without grey areas. We wish you all the best. Northwood. ...
