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 for your fantastic help in finding my dream home. Your service is excellent and well worth your fees. You were always available and patient. You also knew your area inside out and were able to think "outside the box."
"We were very busy and hoping to buy a property in an area we didn't know in a very short time. You stripped out all the obstacles and made the process of choosing a house actually enjoyable. Your local knowledge was invaluable and we are all thrilled with the house you helped us find."
"You negotiated a price reduction that more than offset your fee. Your service was very professional and you were very responsive which was important to me as I do not have much experience of the London market. You also introduced me to some good decorators."
"Thank you again for all your help. It was a pleasure to have your expertise and company on our viewing day, and I’m sure we couldn’t have acquired such a good property without your input."
"There is no way that I would search for and buy a house myself again. All my friends remarked at how relaxed I was when moving house and the reason was that all the hassle was taken away from me. I met three relocation agents and Jane Wood Associates were in a completely different league. It was clear you knew exactly what you were doing and the whole exercise was pretty much pain free. Thank you"
"Your service is excellent. As always you take the time to find out what I am looking for and quickly work out the likes and dislikes. You are also happy to put up with late changes in price bracket and search criteria without missing a beat!"
"I really felt comfortable taking your advice in London and I am very grateful for your help. The solicitor you recommended was also very helpful."
"Your service was excellent, the properties you short-listed definitely met my criteria and your knowledge of the areas that I was interested in is excellent."
"Thank you so much for all your help over the last months. Excellent service and great value as well. I would be happy to recommend you to anyone."
"You are very professional, we rate your service as excellent. We definitely received value for money."
"As a busy professional in central London, my property search would have been somewhat akin to chasing a moving train. The help I received from Jane Wood and Associates was invaluable in securing a purchase, in addition to the extra support in negotiations with local estate agents and guidance through the whole process. Thank you"
"We are very happy with the house you found for
us, which was off market, and how you negotiated on our behalf to
deliver a great result. It really did meet a difficult brief.
You were always professional and diligent and worked extremely hard
on our behalf."
"Your professionalism and expertise made what should be a trying and complicated process seemingly straightforward. Prompt communication, excellent knowledge of the area and facilitation of every aspect of the purchase made buying a property in London from Canada a rather pleasant experience."
"Thank you for your help in finding our London home, we really enjoyed visiting the different properties with you, and your support and experience made the whole experience stress free. Your service is very professional and your knowledge of the areas we were interested in is excellent. We would most definitely recommend your service to friends and family."
"You do such an excellent job of helping people like me locate the property that is right for them. I was very impressed with your ability to quickly zero in on what was right for me"
"Jane is that rare phenomenon in the real estate game - a thinker. I gave her a nearly impossible brief, which she diligently set about fulfilling in an inventive, methodical and practical manner. And then, rightly, she suggested I think again...as she introduced me to the perfect property that was, well, the opposite of what I thought I wanted, in every way. And in every way it was the perfect solution. A very clever woman that I can't recommend too highly. Thanks Jane."
"We definitely received value for money. We appreciate all your help and it is wonderful to have this finally completed. We feel that your services are very professional, your knowledge of the areas we were interested in was excellent and that the properties you shortlisted for us met our criteria. Overall we rate your services as excellent.
"We used Jane Wood and Associates to find us a house in Fulham whilst we were living in Singapore, we were extremely happy with the professional level of service and how Jane Wood were able to find exactly what we were looking for in a short amount of time. I have since recommended your services to a number of people who have also been very happy with the service and if the need arose I would certainly be dealing with you again."
"You were a great help in helping me buy my home -
from the initial response through to collecting the keys to the
door!
If you are a busy professional and need someone who is going to
'fight your corner', negotiate well and generally make the whole
home buying process a smooth one, then Jane Wood and Associates are
the perfect professionals to work with."
"Trish and I would like to thank you very much for the very professional way you handled this transaction, with total integrity. Had it not been for the honesty that you projected to us, we would not have proceeded. Congratulations to you for your total excellence."
"The fantastic thing about what you did for me as buyers agents was to take me through all my options, help me work out what I wanted and found me a house in an area that I hadn't thought of. You were very astute about what would suit me and also made sure that I looked at and considered all my options. In my programme, there were 9 properties, all of which would have been a possibility. There was never a property where my heart sank and I thought "oh no!". All of them were possibilities. This made such a difference! I am very excited about my new house and even more so because you have made it so easy."
"Without doubt I feel we got value for money. The service provided was excellent, professional and the property we purchased met our criteria perfectly. Your staff are extremely friendly, very helpful when querying a specific issue and always happy to go that extra step."
"Your service was everything I'd hoped it would be. You deliver a professional service and your knowledge of the areas covered is excellent. I definitely received value for money."
"Jane Wood and Associates are knowledgeable about the property market, extremely efficient, and fun to work with. Not only do they take the stress out of property hunting but looking at the properties selected was positively enjoyable. Thanks to them, I am now settled in a delightful property exactly in my preferred part of London.
"Everything is perfect. Thanks so much. The apartment really meets all our needs. You have done an amazing job!"
"We definitely received value for money. Your service was extremely professional. From the very first time we met you gave us valuable advice. It is highly unlikely that we would have found and purchased our house without your help and your advice throughout the negotiation process."
"The service was excellent, I couldn't have asked for more. You were very professional and pleasant, knowledgeable, worked hard to understand what I was looking for and to find something suitable and have given me useful contacts post completion."
"You managed to understand what we wanted extremely well and really helped us to become focused and to understand what we needed before we even knew ourselves! We actually saw the property we ultimately purchased on the very first day of viewings. We feel that your professional service was excellent and went above our expectations. Knowing that you totally had our best interests at heart was a huge source of comfort. The cost was definitely reasonable for the service we received. We know now that it would have taken us very much longer to find a property, as we would have looked at everything available, which would have been a huge waste of time. The relationship you have with estate agents is an enormous asset - both in the viewings and subsequent negotiations. We would definitely use your business again, and not only recommend you to other people, but would actively encourage them to avail themselves of your services."
"You earned every penny of your fee. Thank you again for all your help. You paid attention to my brief, found me my ideal flat which I love and worked hard to close the deal when the vendor was tempted to leave the property on the market."
"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."
"I would recommend you to anyone wanting a property."
"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!"
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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!"
"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. "
"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!"
"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."
"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."
"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"
"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."
"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."
"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!"
"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."
"I have used search agents before and this was comfortably the best service I have received."
"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."
"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."
"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"
"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!"
"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."
"Your knowledge of the area was excellent. Thanks again for your help. You did a great job!"
"We can't tell you how perfect your service was. We only had a short time and everything was wonderful from beginning to end."
"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."
"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."
"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."
