London property

"You have a thoroughly professional approach, and we consider your fee money well spent"

Dr Frank S and Jo B, British Airways, March 2009

What our clients say

Our reputation as a leading London property search company is reflected in the testimonials that our clients have given to us since we were established in 2001.  Here are a few of them:

 

"Thank you so much for all your help and advice, we're so glad to have found you. If you ever need any endorsements just let us know!"

Dr Chris and Judy J - February 2010

 

"I often think of you and thank heavens that you found me my perfect house.  I totally adore it! Thanks for everything - I would definitely not have been able to accomplish this move without your help. I really valued the advice and also being able to lean on you for negotiations. It's made it all very easy."

Juliet B, NB Real Estate, London - December 2009

 

"I would recommend you to anyone wanting a property."

Trudie B, Dubai - November 2009

 

"Your fee is a small price to pay for the peace of mind that you provide.  Your service is excellent. Thank you again for all your help, you have been great!"

Mark C, BAT Vietnam - November 2009

 

"After months of trying to find a house in central London that felt light, quiet and a bit different, Jane Wood and Associates helped me find a property that was off market and that I would never have found without them. Due to its off market status I managed to purchase it at below market rates, and it has turned out to be very good value, as well as exactly what we were looking for. Throughout the process Jane Wood were incredibly efficient, kept searching for what I was looking for (despite the difficulty in finding it), and were an island of professionalism. I would heartily recommend Jane Wood and Associates to anyone buying a house in central London. I would not think of looking for a new house without employing them again."

Alexis D, Candover - September 2009

 

"Your professional service was excellent from the very start and is indeed continuing.  Your knowledge is excellent, all the short listed properties definitely met my criteria.  Your service was value for money as I have never spent so little time in looking for and buying an ideal property.  Thank you for the most painless purchase I have ever made.  It was certainly enjoyable."

Julia P, Sheafmotors Sheffield - August 2009

 

"You provided a first class service in a first class way.  We were pleased with your professionalism, preparation and approach to helping us find our home. Your understanding of the London residential market is impressive and your network is strong. You were good at listening to us and turning the brief you developed into properties for us to view."

Patrick M, JP Morgan - June 2009

 

"Jane Wood & Associates helped me find my current house in a very uncertain market with expertise, patience and real professionalism. I was not a newcomer to the area, nor to the exercise of house hunting. Nonetheless, your knowledge of the neighbourhood and the estate agents simply cannot be matched. Your management of the process was impressive; reporting back in a consistent way, keeping a record of every house considered and, best of all, fitting in with the demands of my work. I confess to have been just a little fussy (and possibly unclear) about I wanted, which you took in you stride. All in all, I recommend Jane and her team unreservedly."

Tim O, Solicitor, Taylor Wessing - April 2009

 

"Your services were invaluable to us in removing the hassle and heartache in our search for a new home. You have an amazing knack of really figuring out what our requirements are, and saved us a lot of time by sifting out properties which did not meet our spec. We also found your advice through the negotiation process very reassuring. You have a thoroughly professional approach, and we considered your fee money well spent."

Dr Frank S and Jo B, British Airways - March 2009

 

"Thank you very much for your help with our flat hunting. The process certainly went pretty smoothly and I would have no hesitation recommending your services to others."

Ruth R, Cargill and Olgierd Z, RBS - March 2009

 

"I have no hesitation in saying that the process was fantastic and I could not have handled all the issues without you. It is not practical for a foreigner who does not understand the rules to action these from afar. Your handling of everything was swift, efficient and I never had any doubts or worries throughout. You gave me peace of mind and should I have the opportunity of doing it all over again, I would not hesitate in asking Jane Wood & Associates in assisting me from A to Z!"

Colleen W, South Africa - February 2009

 

"We had been looking to buy a house for about a year before we hired you and it was wonderful to have a professional take over the search and sort through all the available properties before we went on a viewing. I was impressed with your knowledge of our chosen areas and it was also extremely valuable to have someone who is very well versed on the intricacies of building renovation. "

Isatu F and Philipp v H, Landesbank Berlin - November 2008

 

"Thanks so much for the good work! This has been an impeccably professional and highly efficient experience overall. Your meticulous professional approach and personal touch make all the difference!"

Konstantinos A, Marakon Associates (a Trinsum subsidiary) - September 2008

 

"The money saved alone was more than worth employing you. The added bonus of letting you follow the agreed brief, faultlessly negotiating our price and keeping the deal on track throughout meant that you delivered a far better service than we had ever expected.  You removed virtually all the stress from the negotiations and thereafter kept in touch with our Bank, Solicitors and the Vendor's representatives to steer the deal home. In short 'held our hands' very efficiently all the way through to the pre-Completion check and the Completion itself. Jane represented our situation as a Buyer, versus the agent acting for the Seller, very effectively indeed."

Gay and Mark B, Fine and Rare Wines - June 2008

 

"Many thanks for your great work. Your execution was flawless and you enabled me to find a fabulous apartment in one morning, only four days after we met and under budget! I also appreciated the way you managed the entire process with the estate agents, found me a great solicitor and generally kept me updated until the very end."

Sascha H, Fortis Investments - May 2008

 

"I never thought that it could be possible to find a property to buy in Central London in just one day. The whole process went very smoothly and was very painless"

Dorothy & Andrew H, Price Waterhouse Coopers partner - April 2008

 

"You took my brief and came up with something that matched it precisely, very quickly and efficiently. Your network of IFAs, lawyers, surveyors and architects is also extremely valuable."

John O, KPMG partner - November 2007

 

"Many thanks for the really excellent work you did in finding the apartment for me in Marylebone. Equally importantly thanks for all your efforts in resolving the issues surrounding the lease provisions on alterations."

Ian R, AXA - January 2007

 

"To be frank, I never thought I would be the kind of person who would have needed or wanted a property finder to buy a property, however I would recommend this service to as many people as I can. You were able to pin point exactly which roads I should be looking at and your knowledge blew me away. You clearly have your finger on the pulse when it comes to the London market, it is obvious you are passionate about what you do. It took me 8 months to get nowhere and it took you a short meeting and one day of viewings to find the house of my dreams. What more is there to say!"

Gary B, Orange Telecommunications - October 2006

 

"You gave us confidence from the outset. The initial viewings were well organised and the follow-up with offers and negotiations was very good.  You showed us a good range of properties, showing you had listened but also used your experience to broaden our property search."

Sue and Ken W, Ernst and Young partner - December 2005

 

"I have used search agents before and this was comfortably the best service I have received."

David H, Price Waterhouse Coopers partner - May 2005

 

"The service has been excellent. Everything was clearly explained from the outset. The key to keeping me happy is good communication, this was done very well."

Nick C, Foreign & Commonwealth Office - May 2005

 

"We, at Rowlinsons Solicitors, are specialist relocation solicitors. Our mutual client was purchasing a high value London apartment from an awkward vendor who was based overseas. Jane's efficiency and perseverance in co-ordinating solicitors and estate agents enabled a transaction, which, without her involvement, may well have fallen through. I would highly recommend the service that Jane provides to any solicitor that is frustrated by inefficiencies throughout the conveyancing chain."

Duncan R, Rowlinsons Solicitors - February 2005

 

"You were just great! Right on target. You put in real effort and your services are very good value. You quickly and comprehensively understood what I was looking for in price and time range"

Dan B, Broadmark Asset Management - January 2005

 

"We are both so greatly appreciative of your services. You have helped us immensely in so many many ways, we couldn't have survived the purchasing process without you! Thank you for everything, it has been such a pleasure working with you and we feel very lucky to have found the very best relocation agent in London!"

Kylie & Randy R, Microsoft - November 2004

 

"Out of the properties I viewed on my first day out there were three I seriously considered and I offered on the first property I had seen. Using your services turned what I envisaged as months of work and giving up numerous week-ends into a day's worth of viewings."

Karen S, Accenture - April 2004

 

"Your knowledge of the area was excellent. Thanks again for your help. You did a great job!"

French pharmaceutical company Servier relocating Swiss family to London - October 2003

 

"We can't tell you how perfect your service was. We only had a short time and everything was wonderful from beginning to end."

Clarisse & Arnaud L, Servier - September 2003

 

"Jane was very professional, friendly and knowledgeable and clearly knew the area of Central London I was interested. She is also very honest and has integrity."

Miles A, US Corporate Controller, Byte Mobile - August 2003

 

"It was something of a leap in the dark to use a locator. But it was good to know that you have a background as a chartered accountant, since I had assumed you were coming from the more classical estate-agent background. I would most emphatically recommend your services to my friends, and I rate your service as excellent."

Michael L, EU Ambassador - June 2003

 

"Using your services reduced the costs of moving that we would have otherwise incurred in terms of storage, time, flights, temporary accommodation and desperately frazzled emotions. Most importantly, it meant we achieved what in early May looked like impossibility: to move into a new house in Putney by mid-August, with a good school for our daughter lined up for September. Jane helped us put an offer forward, which was 5% under the original asking price. It was accepted. This was ELEVEN days after my first phone call with Jane. Today, we are enjoying living in Putney."

Nick & Miriam W, Foreign & Commonwealth Office - June 2002
