I thought I'd try out Northwoods based on all these positive reviews. However, my experience so far has been anything but positive. I sent an email to Northwoods on the 21st February and as I had not received a response, I called the office on the 24th February to confirm I had the correct email address and was told to forward the email across again for the attention of Jo. I did as requested and I have still not had a response from Northwoods at all. My experience with Northwoods so far has not been great as the communication has been non existent. Northwoods - Really really dissapointed and feel let down by your service.

Having changed properties quite frequently recently I can safely say that my experience with Northwood recently as a tenant has been the worst I have ever had. I was always on time with my bills and never ever caused any issues . At the end of my tenancy the deductions on my deposits have completely shocked me . Charging me 235 pounds on cleaning of a 2 bed room flat is genuinely embarrassing behaviour. I moved into a furnished flat in which every equipment & furniture was at least 5+ years old and after I left they charged me full money for rust on equipment. If you live somewhere for 18 months there will be some wear & tear obviously . Northwood did multiple inspections to the property and never said a word . I also vacated the property on the 10th of the month but they charged me for 18 days because the new tenant moved in on that day even though Northwood employees called me three times on the 9th to ask when could I drop the keys back . Why make me drop the keys if I am still paying for the place . I am so annoyed My message to any tenant with them is to complain about everything so that Northwood doesn’t charge you for new stuff when you leave if you didn’t complain earlier

Ayush, The new tenant moved into the property on the 18th March. You were only charged up to the 17th March even though your tenancy agreement was for a fixed term up to the 29th March. So, you did not pay rent for the last 12 days of your agreement. Unfortunately, we could not move the new tenant in any sooner after you vacated on the 11th March because you left the property in a very poor state and condition. We do apply the principal of fair wear and tear but the deductions we made were for cleaning, as you had not attempted to clean before you left. I confirm that you agreed to these deductions through the Deposit Protection Service. Regards, Northwood Liverpool

I applied for one of their properties I’ve have been asked over 10 days to give them lot of information. After I handle everything to them no even a reply saying the house have been taking. I just feeling they were playing with me. Hope all the information is being deleted. After they declined my application I asked them if they could help me to find another property as they have all my details already and I am in a desperate situation and they didn’t bother to answer that! Very unprofessional!NegativeQuality, Professionalism

Dear Ezequiel, Thank you for your comments. Unfortunately, we do require certain documentation to process an application for a tenancy. You took 10 days to forward the requested information whilst another application was approved in the meantime. We are sorry that this happened but it was you that delayed us processing your application. We are also sorry that we did not have any other similar properties to offer you but again this is out of our control.

Hi Everyone, This feedback is based on what really happened on 03rd of October 2020 when I came to Liverpool Northwood UK to rent a property 28 C Cowley Road . A week before my viewing I have spoke with Mr Dean Kilpatrick and I have explained very clear my case and he said that will be fine if I will be a guarantor and my family members will pay 6 mounts in advanced rent . I have sent a online application form to rent the house and has not been taken in consideration if I will not come to see the house . I’ve driven 3 and half hours from London to Liverpool with my wife and 2 children and also my family members in a different car . We saw the house and then we went to Liverpool Northwood UK office address to hand the application. We gave almost what Mr Mark asked and at 12:00 we been told to leave the office by Miss/Mrs Joanne Smith because the opening hours is closed when I been looking for another document to pass it over . After I sent an email with my feedback to them my application has been declined because is not affordable when I told them that I can pay for one year ahead rent . Conclusion : Why Non professional ? Because they did not said that from the beginning when they knew the salaries and everything about it . I would not spend money on petrol ,food etc . I would not spend my time for this . I would save my energy for something else Why not Responsive ? I made some calls and the Lady who’s answering calls said all the time that the person which I wanted to speak with is on the other line and I never been called back . Why poor quality? I felt that they lied to me and customer service is very poor and I lost money and moreNegativeResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

When dealing with enquiries we ask questions to ensure that prospect applicants pass our referencing criteria. One of our main criteria is affordability, which is a test to see if a prospect tenant will be able to afford the rent. Before processing an application, we ask prospect tenants to view the property they are interested in, as all properties are taken in the state and condition they are viewed; this avoids any misunderstanding, disappointment or disputes when a successful applicant moves into a property. If a tenant fulfils our affordability criteria and has viewed a property, we will accept and process an application, which is what happened in your case. Please note that processing an application does not guarantee approval. Due to COVID-19 we inform all applicants that application forms must be filled in before attending the office, this is to limit the amount of time mixed households share the same space. When you arrived at our office Joanne asked if you had filled in the application forms, to which you replied yes. It then become apparent that you had not filled the forms in. After you spent just over one hour in our office Joanne explained that our office was due to close. Joanne had an out of office appointment to attend and there was only one other member of staff in the office (Mark). Our lone working procedures do not allow staff to work unaccompanied with customers in the office, this was clearly explained to you. Our office opening hours on a Saturday are 9am to 12pm, again we make this clear to all our customers who attend our office. We received several applications for this property, including yours, all of which passed our referencing criteria. After providing the applications to the landlord he decided to proceed with another application.

I lost two weeks with this agency, they promised me that I would be guaranteed to receive a house and after all this it tells me that I have to pay 6 months in advance to receive the house

Highly unprofessional individuals, changed the appointment at the last minute and then lied that they told me in the morning. When ici them over the phone, they harassed and bullied me and also used racial slurs on the basis of my surname. They made me travel in 20 weeks pregnancy all the way from another town 125 miles away and were not the least bit accommodating. Please avoid these people, they treat you like garbage

I have carried out an investigation of this matter and can confirm the you agreed to change the appointment time from 14:00 to 14:15. This was agreed early in the morning at around 10:00, so not at the last minute and no lying involved. You failed to keep your appointment even though our viewing clerk waited until 14:30. So, you were at least 15 minutes late and our viewing clerk had another appointment immediately afterwards to attend, so could not wait any longer. Had you not agreed to change the appointment time you would have been over 30 minutes late. You then contacted our office and was rude and insulting to the member of staff that dealt with your call. For you to accuse this staff member of bullying, harassment and racism in order to try and legitimise your compliant is ignorant and totally unacceptable. I do not normally use such frank language when responding to reviews or dealing with complaints but given that you are being deliberately misleading, provocative and prejudice I feel that I have no choice. This review is totally unwarranted and does not reflect the events that actually took place.

Aneta, Thank you for your comment and please be assured that I share your frustration. However, if you recall, we made you aware of the problem before you moved into the property and we also confirmed with you that we had not been given a timescale for repair as this issue was being resolved through the site's block insurance policy and block management agent, and it was largely out of our control. It was your decision to move into the property knowing the full circumstances. We pushed the agent responsible for the issue as much as we were able. Sadly, I think your complaint is aimed at the wrong company.
