I found this letting agents extremely helpful. I have had my property advertised with other agents in Plymouth and this is by far the best. The staff are very helpful and professional at all times. I used their contractors for cleaning and maintenance and I have to say it was all sorted out without any hassel.Thus far I am very impressed with the service I have received and would definately recommend them.

Dear Luis, I am sorry that you do not agree with deposit deductions that your landlord has claimed for. As an agent, we work on behalf of the landlord and whilst we can provide our professional advise to them, I'm afraid that we have to take their instructions when it comes to making a claim against a tenancy deposit. If you do not agree with the claim that your landlord has suggested, you are able to the deposit into a dispute where an independent adjudicator will then assess all evidence ...

So as you were looking after the client's interest that gives you the right to be rude? When my partner phoned up Hayley, she just did not really want to talk to her and it felt like she just wanted her off the phone. customer service noun the assistance and advice provided by a company to those people who buy or use its products or services.

Landlord Fees

GUARANTEED RENT
NO FEES OR COMMISSION

Our Guaranteed Rent service offers landlords the benefit of a guaranteed fixed income on their property, regardless of whether or not it is let or the tenant stops paying. We also guarantee your agreement start date and the internal condition* It's the perfect 'let and forget' solution for busy landlords.

How does it work?
No catches! We effectively become your tenant, guaranteeing you a fixed rental income. We then sub-let the property, taking great care to select the right tenants and then manage the property throughout the full duration of the tenancy.

*Less fair, wear and tear.


FULLY MANAGED PLUS
18% (INC VAT) COMMISSION
£600 (INC VAT) SETUP FEE

The Fully Managed Plus works in the exact same way as our Traditional Fully Managed Service, the difference is that it includes Rent and Legal insurance, covering landlord's for rental arrears and legal costs should the worst happen.

This scheme works differently to our most popular Guaranteed Rent Service because this is an insurance product opposed to Northwood becoming your tenant.

TRADITIONAL FULLY MANAGED
15% (INC VAT) COMMISSION
£600 (INC VAT) SETUP FEE

The Fully Managed Service is suitable for landlords who have limited time to manage their property. We look after every aspect of the tenancy just as we would with the Guaranteed Rent service but the key difference is that we do not provide guaranteed rental payments.

We charge a set up fee for finding the tenant, assisting with property preparations, interviewing tenants, drawing up the agreements and preparing the inventory. We then charge a monthly commission for managing all tenant enquiries, undertaking regular maintenance service, rent collection & move out procedure.

Tenant Fees

No tenant fees payable
Last updated at 25/09/2019, 11:14 AM by Ashleigh Evans
Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.

Complaints Procedure

Northwood aims to run a high calibre lettings and estate agency business. Whilst we do our best to operate in a professional way and to the highest standards, it is possible that you may be unhappy about how we have dealt with a particular situation.

We have a standard procedure for handling complaints which is as follows:

1. Making an initial complaint

Each office is independently owned and operated and has a local Director who will be, in part or in whole, an owner of the branch. In the first instance your complaint should be directed in writing to the local Director. He or she has an honest and sincere desire to resolve your complaint as soon as possible and should respond within ten working days.

2. Making a formal complaint

If for whatever reason you remain dissatisfied then you should write or email The Property Ombudsman. Please provide full written details of your complaint and copies of any supporting evidence. The Property Ombudsman will provide an independent review of the complaint.
