Donna has been superb acting for us in very difficult circumstances. The water tank in the flat we rent out through Northwood burst at New Year. The flat was flooded and the tenants had to be rehoused. We are in the Caribbean and have relied on Donna to deal with the complexities of two different insurers (contents and buildings), the plumber to repair the tank, the builder to remove carpets, dry the flat and replaster damaged walls. At the same time she has kept us fully informed and consulted us appropriately throughout. She has also used her initiative in dealing with the insurers and tradespeople regarding recarpeting the flat. At the same time she has taken care of the tenants. We cannot speak too highly of the service that Donna has provided with her performance being outstanding. We have grown to trust Donna in a way that is unusual in today's climate of indifferent service provision. She deserves the highest performance rating possible.
