The most disappointing thing for me is there seemed to be no compromise when I was looking to sell my property. I did admitedly sign up for three years and with just over 18 mths towards the end of my contract been considering selling. I was told I would have to pay nearly £2000 to end my contract and then when selling the property could only go through Northwood and will be charged 1.5% selling fees. I requested that as a long term customer i would happily pay 2% selling fees, sell through yourselves and if it didnt sell sign up again for another 10 yrs possibly but didnt want to have to pay the £2000. I was promptly told NO and there was no room for negotiation. Therefore looks like I am stuck until the price of buying my way out of the contract reduces and then I will get another firm to sell and if it doesnt sell will take a contract with them for who knows another 10 years! Dissappointing really as always felt I have had good service and been valued but after this it has changed my opinion. Funnily enough I deal in a company that deals with a high amount of customers and potential mortgage customers, it is sad that in the past I have referred people directly to you although now I am making sure that they all know how unhelpful you have become.

Thank you for your review, we appreciate your feed back and of course are extremely disappointed to hear such comments. Unfortunately as you have signed a long term contract with Northwood there is a penalty in order to come out of the contract earlier than its end date. Like wise, we wouldn't have been able to terminate the contract early from our side with out any penalties. Of course we try to be adaptable where possible, however when there is a fixed contract in place this is sometimes difficult due to obligations with tenancies. I hope this clarifies our position and I would like to thank you once again for your feedback.
