I decided to rent my property 5 years ago as I was in negative equity. I work away a lot so needed a letting agent to manage it and also guarantee that the rental income would be paid each month.
I invited Northwood to the property to discuss my needs and I was confident right from the off that they would be a perfect partner. I spoke to a few other companies too but the service Northwood offer was unique.
5 years on and Northwood still look after the property. They have always been fair when renegotiating contracts to reflect changes in the rental market.
Carly and the team provide a great service and I am confident that my property is being well looked after. If any issues do arise Northwood are able to send a contractor around quickly to assess and then feedback to me to make a decision on the resolution.
I would recommend Northwood to anyone looking to rent a property without risk, minimal fuss and much involvement. I am too busy to do my job and manage the property but Northwood take that headache away!

The guaranteed income scheme means you get less than you would on a traditional arrangement, but for peace of mind it is worth it. I achieved the goal of walking away from the house and just watching the money come in.

Comment on agent fees
Most expensive fees I have come across I have rented via several other better and cheaper agents, your move Harrt, Foxtons, Strutt and parker. The Fees are so high as they gaurentee rent to landlords. Once the deposit has been returned I will be sending you my full complaint. All communications between us via email will be sent to your landlord to review. I am sure he will be pleased to see you just assume all mould is caused by condensation and the tenants and will not send a professional to look at this but rather send out a leaflet on condensation, with no further checks as to the cause. which has been managed properly by us. Another sign that you are not taking good care of his property.
