Harrisandwood Reviews 45

Having had a truly awful experience with another lettings agent I was extremely nervous about continuing being a landlord, however I called in to Harris and Wood after being advised to contact them by a contractor who was working on one of our properties.
Megan Power took the time to talk me through the whole process and how Harris and Wood could help us going forward. She made everything very clear and put me at ease. She found us a tenant within a short space of time and so far everything is going very well. We will be transferring our other two properties over to Harris and Wood as soon as possible.
We are fairly new as landlords and still have a lot to learn. I feel confident that I can call Megan when I have a query or a concern about anything to do with lettings, she is always very quick to respond.
I also like the fact that all aspects of the lettings service are within the same premises, rather than our previous agent who had different offices dealing with different 'services' who didn't seem to communicate with each other.
I hope this is the start of a long and productive relationship with Harris and Wood, thank you to Megan for being so patient with me and for renewing our confidence in our future as landlords.

I had a great experience working with Harris + Wood when selling my flat. The whole process was handled smoothly and professionally from start to finish.

A special thank you to Laura, Ash, and Maddie, who were outstanding throughout. They were always communicative, kept me well-informed at every stage, and made what can often be a stressful process feel straightforward and manageable. Their professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail really stood out.

I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking to sell their property.

Harris and Wood - Highly recommended! The Team is both friendly and professional.
Naomi, we can’t thank you enough. After such a stressful, unpredictable journey, you were our guiding light. With more than 10 offers and four serious buyers, you helped us stay calm and focused. You truly were a superstar.

Unfair and inappropriate

Cancelled a viewing on the grounds a house was sold without telling us. Girlfriend took time off work to view, parents travelled an hour to view.

When ringing up to complain fobbed off with garbage about 'the system' not being able to be changed.

If a company screws up - its forgivable - until the company doesn't own the mistake and tries to pass the buck on to the people who booked the viewing or this 'mysterious' system that doesn't allow you to change any details or carry out efficient business.

Its a shame there's a shortage of other estate age.... oh wait.

Moving is stressful at the best of times, but Megan made the whole process seamless from start to finish, including on her annual leave! Thanks again.

Just sold my flat through Harrison and Wood, excellent service throughout despite some difficulties with leasehold etc, all staff were helpful and efficient but Naomi Barlow stands out as being efficient, effective, professional but friendly and she got the sale over the line with her clear-headed approach and determination. She often called to update me outside her working hours too.

Connor has been brilliant. He has been helpful, respectful and always responds in a timely manner.

Indeed Megan Power got the real power indeed. She is just super best in followup and chasing you up for your accomodation contract to ensure you move in early and have a smooth contract signing. I got my place and it's beautiful and close to the town centre.
God bless you so much dear Megan.

We couldn't be happier with Harris and Wood! A huge shout-out to Megan Power – she's been incredibly helpful since we first connected. We probably had a million questions, but she was always so patient and friendly and got back to us super fast. Seriously, thank you so much, Megan, and to everyone at Harris and Wood for being so fantastic!

This was our first and very positive experience with Harris and Wood for securing our next home. Shoutout to entire team especially Megan Power for making the journey easy and pleasant.

Megan went above and beyond in order to find the right home under a very tight time constraint for us and communicated with great clarity regarding all aspects and process, which made our moving home significantly effortless.

I would highly recommend Harris and Wood.

Thanks to Meghan Power who handled my Tenancy professionally from beginning to moving in ..she did everything to make sure my moving was stress free .. ..she is always reachable and attend to all my worries..

Excellent experience with H&W, especially with Megan. She made the whole process very quick and easy. Remained professional and great communication throughout. Would recommend !

Hi,

Its very strange that such agency has such a good review. I would not recommend this agency and there are various reasons. One they are rude to their customers and care only about incomes they get from you. Second they pretend to be nice until its worthy to get anything from you. Thirdly, they cause stress and dont take responsibilities to their customers, they just want you to rent from them and pay rent, and leave them alone for anything. And lastly, they dont behave in professional manner and as in previous review mentioned, i would mention Rachel as well. She is the queen of everything written above.

I recently moved into a flat and I had Megan to do checks etc. She was just amazing…helpful, friendly yet professional. Nothing was too much for her and she made the whole experience stress free. Thank you Megan

Jess my sales progressor has been amazing. She has kept me updated all the way through my sale and was so on the ball with solicitors and other agents. Nothing was too much for her, she was always there on the end of the phone to reassure me and make this process easier She is an asset to your company

I worked with this Harris Wood Colchester when I moved and I want to single out one person who helped me a lot with all the paperwork and all the issues related to the rent. Megan Power is a professional in her field, a very friendly and nice person, she helped me with all the questions and I am very satisfied with her help. Thank you very much)))

I recently had the pleasure of dealing with Connor from Harris & Wood in Colchester, and I cannot recommend him highly enough as a letting manager. After a significant incident at our Bardfield Road house, Connor stepped in and provided unwavering support at every stage.

From the moment the issue arose, he was proactive in addressing our concerns. He arranged for multiple plumbing companies to tackle the extreme hot water problem, ensuring it was resolved quickly and efficiently. What impressed me the most was his dedication to finding alternative housing for us during this challenging time.

Connor's commitment went above and beyond. He was always available to answer our questions, whether it was day or night, and even while he was on holiday. His responsiveness and genuine care made a stressful situation much more manageable.

In a world where customer service can sometimes fall short, Connor truly stands out as a remarkable professional. He is not only highly skilled but also an incredibly good person who genuinely cares about his clients. Thank you, Connor, for all your help!

This is the second time Harris + Wood have sorted my property sales in 10 years. They keep getting better. It's a testament to the amazing team they have assembled.

Marcus truly went above and beyond to negotiate and conclude a very tricky chain. Even the seller's own agent was impressed by Marcus and his business acumen. 👏

Best estate agents I have ever come across.

Having chosen Harris+Wood out of a few estate agents I believe I made the right decision. Elliot and Marcus have been so helpful along the way and made it a trouble free process. I would use them again and recommend them.
