Accurate and realistic valuations
Our free market valuations consider local features that will appeal to potential tenants – local parks, schools and shopping facilities. We do not simply give you a high valuation to acquire your business but promise to provide realistic rental figures, based on true market conditions.
A unique network
With over 90 offices across the country, our team of over 300 local experts have an intimate knowledge of the current market conditions – there are no faceless corporates here.
We recruit staff locally and train them thoroughly through our national training program, so they have the skills to successfully manage our landlords’ properties.
And because each office is owned by the local director, they are as motivated as you are to achieve the best possible rental solution for your property.
With a centralised hub of specialist departments, all Northwood offices can access the support of the experts:
- IT – ensuring the instant uploading of property details
