Recently completed on our commercial property. There had been some complications, but throughout Northwood conducted the sale diligently and doggedly and kept us informed throughout. Well done to the negotiators.

NORTHWOOD - EXETER I wish I never used this company it has been nothing but a nightmare since day one. The day we signed our rental agreement we got the keys to the property and were surprised to see a sofa in our "unfurnished" house. We asked northwood to take the sofa away because we had bought our own. they refused to do so and * who was very rude and abrupt and told us it was ' part furnished' despite being 'unfurnished' on the listing! We then lost 10% of the cost of our furniture as it had been made to order. We then spent 2 weeks trying to work out who our gas was with... we called northwood and were told "We think it's british gas" and it was on DD. after much confusion we discovered northwood were wrong and it was with E-on... not only that but it was also a pay meter which they didn't leave us a card for! Shortly after getting that sorted our boiler then broke... Northwood left us waiting nearly 2 weeks without central heating whilst we had a new born baby in the house... disgusting! Luckily we had family who came to our aid and supplied us with electric heaters. When we moved in there was also a leak under the sink each time the washing machine was used, we contacted northwood about this a few times and they never returned our calls, eventually after 4 attempts they said someone was coming out to the property to look at it.... but when the maintenance man arrived he said "Hi, * has sent me here to fit a shelf"... where that come from I'll never know... surprise surprise we never got this fixed and it remained even a year later! We also had problems with damp in this property that we reported to northwood... bare in mind we had a new born in our house *they said the damp was caused by us and we should keep the windows open 24/7.****Although i wasn't expecting much from a person then sends a maintenance man to fit a shelf when you have a water leak **. When we were served notice due to the owner wanting the property back me and my partner decided to leave early after all the trouble northwood caused us. We contacted the office to serve counter notice and the woman we spoke with agreed our check out date was 10/08/19. On the date we were due to leave northwood started acting dumb and pretended we never served counter notice.... they are now trying to steal our deposit and charge us a month rent for a month we've not even been in the property! We complained to *** the director but she was just as unhelpful... she denied that any of her staff accepted our counter notice and was uninterested in looking into our complaint properly. ****when speaking with her on the phone she has been rude, abrupt and defensive. We now have to take legal action to get our money back. DON'T USE THIS COMPANY!

They were the same as all the other local agencies.
Buying and selling at the same time as a solo parent in full time work was daunting to say the least! The process was really stressful at times with inevitable bumps along the way but Tamsin really made it all much easier and worked so hard to chase things and get us through to completion day. The whole team at Northwood were great but Tamsin in particular made the whole process much more manageable with her efficiency and understanding of how stressful things felt at times! I cannot thank her enough!

N/A as the fees were paid for by Persimmons. But if we were to put our house on the market in future that we would not be bothered about the fees as we would not go with anyone else.

I could not praise Northwood enough in particular Will Pring who we mainly dealt with, they have gone above and beyond looking after us during our tenancy! Everyone at Northwood were extremely friendly and easy to talk to, All problems were resolved fast and efficiently. Due to unforeseen circumstances we had to leave the property quite quickly and they really did help us as much as they could and for that we are extremely grateful! 10/10 definitely will use again.

While renting a property in Exeter, we have mainly had the pleasure of dealing with Will Pring, who has been incredible helpful over this year. He is friendly yet professional, reliable and punctual, and has dealt with any queries we have had imminently (even once popping straight in on his way home!). He has made the whole process of renting very smooth and easy - the next letting agency has definitely got something to live up to!

Services : Letting( As a Owner )Date: 25th Jun 2017
After being a client for 6 Years with Northwood (Torquay) my business was transfered to the Exeter branch. As a landlord its important to have a housing agent that you can trust and they in turn look after your interests. This was the relationship I had with Northwood Torquay. You'd think the same service would be on offer at the Northwood Exeter branch, sadly no. The Northwood franchises differ greatly from branch to branch. Exeter took over my long standing business and then proceeded to dismantled the business relationship inside 4 months.How can branches of the same franchise be so different. Well its down to the people in the end. Northwood Exeter have a director called Gail Barnes and she is solely to blame in my opinion for the lack of support from a long standing Landlord and client. Her inability to listen was clear from the start and instead of working together to find solutions, she only came back with invoking clauses in the contract. I asked on many occasion for her to stop doing this, but the emails still arrived with contract clauses being mentioned ignoring my previous requests to keep an open dialogue. Her admin skills are poor and when you phone about a problem she is dealing with she is always unavailable. When problems do occur with rented properties you get 3 quotes, this is standard practice especially when contractor prices can differ greatly, only 1 quote was given and I refused to accept the vast amount of money this contractor wanted to do uneccesary work. For not accepting her contractor the property was returned to me washing her hands of the situation. The reviews on this website are glowing in some cases, well consider yourself the lucky ones. I only speak from my personal experience and I am disappointed in having to write such a poor review. If you are a landlord and considering using Northwood Exeter as a letting agent, I strongly urge you to try elsewhere. 2/10

The whole team at Northwood consistently exceeded my expectations and impressed me very much with their efforts. We received friendly, professional and responsive service from all involved. Will Pring deserves a special mention for his positive attitude throughout, and his great communication- keeping us updated far more frequently than other agents traditionally would do from experience. I would thoroughly recommend Northwood to friends & family. Thanks to everyone involved.

I rented a flat for a year from Northwoods in Exeter and can thoroughly recommend them as a letting agent. All the staff were helpful at efficient at every stage of the let, from organising viewings through to organising the tenancy. I dealt mostly with Will through my tenancy, and he was excellent at dealing with my queries and getting issues with the flat resolved.
Checkout was smooth too, with my deposit being returned within the week.
I can honestly say this is the best rental agent I have ever dealt with (and I've dealt with lots). The other agents should take a leaf out of Northwoods book!

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.
