The Milne family Edinburgh | Aug 2026

Olivier was instrumental in every aspect of buying my first property, from packed days of viewings and always finding the newest properties on the market, to connecting my parents and I with lawyers, surveyors, and even contractors. His advice was always thoughtful, and he was incredibly generous with his time and expertise, which I appreciated so much as a first-time buyer. He found the perfect property, got us the earliest possible viewing, and advised on every stage of the negotiation.

It was immensely helpful to have Olivier alongside us whilst we were searching for and in the process of buying this property: his good humour kept us going even through a very long exchange period, and his encyclopaedic knowledge of the London property market made everything infinitely quicker and easier than doing it alone. I would thoroughly recommend Olivier and Jane Wood & Associates to anyone looking to buy property in London.

Anthony Cordonnier Guy Carpenter | Jul 2026

Buying a property in central London felt like a daunting prospect when we first started, but your hard work, dedication and calm guidance made it an enjoyable journey from beginning to end. You somehow managed to demystify what can be a very opaque process, cut through the inevitable estate agent noise, and give me the confidence to make decisions based on substance rather than emotion.

More than that, you helped me benchmark every property properly, identify the right building and, perhaps most importantly, understand what I actually wanted from a London home.

It’s been a genuine pleasure working with you. Thank you for your professionalism, honesty and good humour throughout. I couldn’t have asked for a better buying agent, and I’ll happily recommend you to anyone looking for the same level of expertise and care.

Dr Heledd Thomas NHS | Jun 2026

The service I received was outstanding from start to finish. Jane took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and presented a selection of properties that matched my requirements perfectly. She is clearly very knowledgeable and has extensive expertise in identifying properties that meet her clients’ needs. Jane found me a property that I would not have come across otherwise and worked incredibly hard to meet my requirements within a tight budget. Her professionalism and communication throughout the process were excellent, making what could have been a very stressful experience feel straightforward and enjoyable, even with my busy schedule. I would not hesitate to use the service again or recommend it to friends, family, and colleagues.

Prof. Maureen Mackintosh Open University | May 2026

Downsizing within London after decades in the same home, I found the prospect of property search, on my own within the London market, daunting. Olivier was a huge support from the start, helping to stage the sale and purchase effectively; talking through options and priorities for the search; contacting numerous agents and viewing properties with me; providing advice and a constant sounding board. Communicative, knowledgeable and seemingly always available, Olivier made the whole difficult process manageable, and I am pleased with the outcome.

Catrin Jefferies Retired | Apr 2026

This is the second time I have used Jane to help me buy a property in London, she provides an excellent, professional and value for money service.

Maria da Cunha Non-Executive Director | Mar 2026

Excellent highly professional service that totally delivers what it promises, giving me access to off-market properties I could never have found myself. The service provided was outstanding from start to finish. Jane took time and trouble to really understand what I needed from the property, my budget and my constraints, helping me clarify what I really wanted along the way. The brief wasn’t an easy one to deliver in the narrow location I wanted it, but she didn’t waste any time and within a few weeks found me the right house – off-market. She was a source of sympathetic and wise counsel when I dithered, always objective and never pushy. When I decided to go for it, she took charge of the negotiation and in a competitive situation managed to secure the property for me despite a higher offer from a competing bidder. The seller accepted my offer conditional on a very short time frame for exchange and completion. Jane gave me the confidence to accept and was indefatigable in removing obstacles before and during the buying process, coordinating solicitors, surveyors, financial advisors, managing contact with the estate agency and the sellers, ensuring everything ran smoothly and to time. With impressive attention to detail, she anticipated potential issues it wouldn’t have occurred to me to ask about, got the answers and made sure I had all the information I needed to make an informed decision on potential risks and pitfalls with the property. She has an amazing network of high calibre professionals and was able to recommended solicitors, surveyors, financial advisors, even a tree specialist, all of whom provided a great service. Before completion she even visited the house whilst I was away to ensure it had been fully emptied by the seller as promised. In short, she went above and beyond my expectations and could not have done more to make the inherently difficult buying process stress free. Always available and excellent at communicating, throughout it felt like she had no other clients! She totally delivered what she promised.

Carolyn & Pierre Sarrau Blackrock & CS Taxation | Feb 2026

Jane was excellent at taking on board what we were looking for, arranging visits and following up. We were interested in looking at a number of different areas and Jane had great knowledge of them all. Whilst the buying process ended up taking a long time for reasons outside of our control, we found the flat that we have now purchased on day 1 of our search. We are so happy with our purchase and do not believe that this purchase would have happened without Jane. We are very grateful.

Susan & Ian Levy King Edward VI School & Amazon | Jan 2026

After trying to find a pied a terre in London by ourselves and failing, we approached Jane and the experience was fantastic. Her knowledge of London is encyclopaedic, and she seems to have a relationship with every agent in town! We had some initial ideas on location, but Jane advised us to reconsider and in retrospect she was absolutely right. On our first outing, Jane showed us an extensive range of properties, one of which we subsequently purchased. She made the whole process from showing properties to completion as simple and painless as possible, dealing with the all the minutiae for us. We are very happy with our new flat and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jane to anyone who’s looking to buy a property in London.

Anne Boden CEO UK Bank | Nov 2025

Jane has successfully secured a property for me on two separate occasions. Until you actually use a Buying Agent you don’t really understand how it works. Finding the property is just 10% of the service – the magic comes from getting the transaction over the line.

Ros & John Allert CEO INEOS Grenadiers Cycling Team | Oct 2025

Despite having owned properties for many years, this was our first time using a buyer’s agent. Our brief was vague and changeable, but Olivier remained patient and pragmatic throughout – ultimately helping us narrow our focus and find our needle in the haystack. Olivier is diligent, a great listener, very well networked and knowledgeable. I’m sure that without him we’d still be looking!

Rodney Quick Barrick/Randgold, South Africa | Sep 2025

Olivier and team offer a very professional service to shortlist and view potential options. Their knowledge of the London property market is extremely high. I have known them for 15 years.

Kate Vacovec Pizza Hut | Aug 2025

As an American navigating the UK property market for the first time, I was initially overwhelmed by the unfamiliar processes and terminology. From our very first conversation, Olivier put me at ease with his supportive, knowledgeable and hands-on approach.

Olivier went above and beyond — accommodating my hectic travel schedule, even attending viewings on my behalf when I couldn’t be there in person. His insights and perspective were invaluable throughout, and I always felt like I had a trusted advisor in my corner.

What truly sets Olivier apart is his ability to uncover opportunities others might miss. He found me my dream property off market — a place I would never have discovered without him. From negotiating the price to navigating the complexities of the local search process, he was with me every step of the way, smoothing out bumps and ensuring everything moved forward with speed.

His deep understanding of the market and unwavering commitment made all the difference. I couldn’t be more grateful, and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again. I wholeheartedly recommend Olivier to anyone looking to find their perfect home.

The Gordon Family Jul 2025

We cannot praise Jane highly enough for the service she provided supporting our elderly mother’s relocation from rural Scotland to central London. She worked with us as a family to understand our requirements for the search and presented us with a really strong shortlist of properties, including one we chose to offer on. After that, she led the negotiations with the estate agent, secured the property we wanted at below asking price, then stayed on the job, progress chasing all the way through to completion. She also recommended a fantastic solicitor for the conveyancing and a great builder to refurbish the property. Very highly recommended.

Sarah Grant Octopus Investments | Jun 2025

Jane was invaluable at helping me find a forever home in Chiswick. The added value went far beyond simply finding suitable properties; she helped me understand what I was looking for thereby avoiding a lot of wasted time and helped me refine budget and priorities. Once I was ready to look in earnest, we found the right house on the first day of looking and the prep work we had done on what I wanted meant I was very confident in my final choice. She was also amazing at handling all the negotiations, the legals, survey and making the whole process work really smoothly. I would highly recommend her – it was really important to me to get this house purchase right and Jane made that happen.

Lara Dearden Leigh Day | May 2025

Olivier guided me through buying my Newington Green home. The area and market were unfamiliar to me, but his insight and connections turned a potentially overwhelming experience into one that felt clear and considered from start to finish. Thank you Olivier and team!

Lord Marks Apr 2025

I was introduced to Olivier Barbe by my son-in-law whose company insures many private houses in London. He recommended Olivier to me as one of the top search agents in London. I asked Olivier to try and find a house in Kensington for one of my daughters, a talented artist. After showing me a couple of houses in the area, Olivier then produced another “off market” house. This proved to be an ideal property for my daughter. The transaction was fraught with difficulty as the vendor needed to find a house in the country for herself. Furthermore, the house for my daughter had to be bought using funds which added endless legal and financial complications. Throughout this arduous process, which lasted about a year, Olivier showed exemplary patience, courtesy and professionalism both to the vendor and to ourselves. I am happy to say that the transaction has now been completed to everyone’s satisfaction. Based on my own experience, I would not hesitate to recommend Olivier as an ideal search agent for the difficult task of finding the right property in London.

Grace Plowden Writer | Mar 2025

It was incredibly reassuring to have someone with extensive knowledge of the market working for us. When Olivier first came to see the apartment, we went on to buy, he pointed out a few things that were later flagged by the surveyor, so we were able to factor in the cost of these works before we made our offer. His relationship with the estate agent gave us insight into the other bidders and what the sellers were thinking. His guidance helped us secure the flat. He was always on hand to talk us through the process, and was also a complete pleasure to work with. I will be recommending Olivier and JWAA to all my friends.

Arabella Fenwick Vendome Press | Feb 2025

The service provided was effectively tailored to my requirements, it felt very personalised and Jane was extremely knowledgeable. I appreciated seeing a variety of properties to challenge my perspective and either change/solidify what I wanted. Each suggestion felt very considered, Jane asked important questions that I may not have considered otherwise; followed by discussions over the phone on what was right/wrong kept my focus on what was to be a milestone of a decision in my life! In addition, helping with the organisation of lawyers, searches, surveyors etc. was extremely helpful/efficient and took the pain out of the whole process once an offer had been made. You really saved me a lot of time and stress, which I’m very grateful for! I definitely received value for money and would recommend the service to friends.

Mark & Alison Angles Sydney, Australia | Jan 2025

We wanted to buy a flat in London but we didn’t know where to start. It had been many years since either of us were there, and we certainly didn’t know the London market or the areas of London that might suit our lifestyle. We needed expert help. Jane was absolutely fantastic! On the strength of the now more than 220 testimonials on her website we contacted Jane and we clicked right from the first meeting. Her depth of knowledge of the various areas of London (all quite different in feel), the agents, and the real estate offerings is astounding. From our first day setting foot in London we were seeing a range of suitable flats. Within a few weeks we had made on offer on a great flat, which we purchased. Jane was incredibly efficient, diligent and a real pleasure to work with. Our days out and about in central London with Jane looking at real state were genuinely enjoyable. Jane goes above and beyond from the searching stage, to purchase, and then through to final settlement. She also assisted by recommending a conveyancing solicitor and styling expert. We cannot recommend her more highly!

Sophie & Nick Marple Founders Gower Street | Dec 2024

We have used JWAA twice before. They provide an excellent professional service, without them we almost certainly would not have got this (off market) house. We would certainly recommend them to friends and family.

Dr Petra Sonderegger & Dr Reuben Abraham Dalberg Global Development Advisors & Artha Global | Nov 2024

JWAA came highly recommended to us from friends who had used the service. We were perhaps unusual in that a) we had already started the search process by the time JWAA came on board, and b) we were first-time buyers, who had consistently rented the last 30 years and were new to the idea of buying property. Even so, Jane was able to quickly identify potential issues with our properties that we were simply unable to see/ were unaware of. It added a layer of assurance to our search that we were being back stopped by JWAA. Her attention to the minutest of details and thorough understanding of the area we were looking in was super reassuring for us, and helped us make a more informed decision. Last but not least, she helped us with the settlement process ranging from getting us our solicitors, to getting us competitive contractors for the renovation works, and checking on us even after the settlement was done. We cannot recommend JWAA enough, especially if you’re a first-time buyer like us.

El Morrison Google DeepMind | Oct 2024

It was great to work with Olivier. His skill in managing relationships and navigating the ups and downs of the buying process was invaluable. He made the entire experience much easier for me and was generous with his advice and support. I’d highly recommend the services of Jane Wood and Associates.

Hugh Gatenby Architect | Sep 2024

This is the second time I have used JWAA. I was so happy with our first find that I didn’t think we’d be able to replicate that success. As it happens, Jane once again found a stunning off market property which suited the brief in every respect. Jane was immensely tolerant of my ‘eye of the needle’ search criteria. At one point we had a spreadsheet of all the potential properties in the area assessing their suitability. Even if you (think) you know what you’re looking for, JWAA are an invaluable sounding board. I couldn’t recommend JWAA more highly, and in fact recently did recommend them to a close friend who has also had a successful search.

E and A Academic & Financial Services | Aug 2024

We contacted Olivier because, as first-time buyers, we found the process cognitively demanding and stressful, particularly as a dual-career family with young kids, and we were not making any progress. Since working with Olivier, the process has become much easier to navigate and also pleasant. Thanks to his expertise, he quickly answered all our questions, from technical regulations and building safety to lifestyle considerations in different London areas.

One of the key advantages of JWA is their extensive experience and the availability of many comparables, making the evaluation process much easier. Additionally, their network of reliable professionals made our journey even smoother.

What we found most invaluable in working with Olivier was his understanding that this is a significant decision in a family’s life. He approached it with maximum sensitivity and great respect for our preferences and timeline.

We would definitely work with Olivier again in the future and highly recommend his services.

The Reynolds Family Cornwall | Jul 2024

An inheritance meant we were fortunate enough to consider buying our daughter a flat in London. Our problem was that we last lived there decades ago and had no clue as to where to look or what to buy. Fortunately, we found Jane, who listened to our list of requirements and sourced a wide variety of suitable properties to view. The job would have been overwhelming  without her. She oversaw viewings, negotiations, and all the nitty gritty legal stuff. Our daughter describes Jane as ’scarily efficient’. She’s right, and I hope Jane takes that as the compliment it was intended to be!

Kate & Crispin Murray Pendal Group Ltd, Australia | Jun 2024

For anyone looking to purchase a property in London, using Jane’s service is a must!! Had we tried to do this on my own, we would have spent so much more time and money.

Through a few initial phone calls, Jane was very thorough in assessing and narrowing down what it was that we were really after. Jane demonstrated a tremendous attention to detail, focusing not just on the streets that suited us best but also identifying preferred buildings reflecting her knowledge of the local area. She provided us a deep understanding of the market and intrinsic value which was critical in the process of negotiating terms. It was evident that you had invested a huge amount of time finding suitable properties, whilst omitting apartments that were not suitable for us.

Jane is obviously well regarded by others in the industry, which enable us to get access to off market properties. Jane was very responsive and flexible which was essential given we were in different time zones.

Finally, one aspect of her service which we had not appreciated, but proved invaluable, was her help in navigating all the complexities of managing the unique English settlement process and acting as our liaison on the ground. We are very grateful and would highly recommend her service.

Nitzan Maas & Daniel Moore Immediate Media & Meta | May 2024

Your service was excellent, exactly what we were hoping for. We saw properties that matched our requirements, and you represented us in negotiations and engagements with solicitors and estate agents. Everything was timely, thorough, and exactly aligned with our best interest as clients. Our criteria were challenging in aggregate, so Jane tested our flexibility to find the best property available (which was off market). She had a comprehensive knowledge of the surrounding areas, allowing us to make more informed choices on what was possible and likely. We definitely received value for money, and I have already shared your details in an internal group at work.

Gizem Tort UGG | May 2024

The service provided by Olivier was nothing short of exceptional. Olivier’s professionalism and attentiveness made the entire process smooth and efficient. His extensive knowledge of the areas covered was evident, and he expertly curated a selection of properties. As a young professional, Olivier’s guidance was invaluable, serving as my saving grace in navigating the complexities of the market. I felt supported every step of the way, and his insights were instrumental in helping me find my dream property. What truly set Olivier apart was his approach—he didn’t pressure me, but rather, he guided me to find the right options. This demonstrated that he listened attentively to my needs and understood them even better than I did. Additionally, he was remarkably easy to reach and incredibly flexible in his communication, making the entire process seamless. Throughout this journey to find a property, Olivier went above and beyond, demonstrating exceptional dedication. The value for money was unquestionable given the level of service and expertise provided. Overall, I cannot recommend Olivier highly enough. His dedication to his clients is unmatched, and I would undoubtedly use his services again and enthusiastically recommend him to friends and colleagues.

Elisa Knebel Encompass LLC | Apr 2024

Jane exhibited incredible patience and diligence throughout the entire process, responding to my queries and new directions in my search and finding properties that met my criteria. She offered me services that I could never have done myself, i.e., seeing off-market properties, writing a compelling offer, negotiating a better price, scoping out a property for potential structural issues, flagging potential issues with contracts, etc. She was incredibly present throughout the process, always checking in and literally holding my hand through the whole thing, as well as connecting me to great solicitors and insurance brokers.

Harri Cairns Baringa Partners | Mar 2024

Thank you so much for all the amazing help with finding a property. I could not have done it without you and would not hesitate to recommend you to any friend or family member. Throughout the process, Olivier went above and beyond. He was kind, responsive, reassuring, and insightful. Thank you for everything Olivier – you managed to make what is often a very stressful experience a walk in the park!

Graham Lockington Maples & Calder | Jan 2024

I just wanted to thank you again for all your help with this. It was reassuring to have someone who was so empathetic, knowledgeable, tactically aware and professional fighting in my corner. What I’ve learned from this experience is that anyone buying in London and hoping to find a home meeting their particular requirements at the right price would be making a big mistake by not using a buying agent and anyone not using your services, an even bigger one!

Ollie Dickson Skills Alliance | Nov 2023

For those considering buying a property anywhere in London, you would do no better than looking to JWAA for assistance. From day one, they will provide help, guidance, exceptional knowledge, expertise and assurance (when needed!). Once a property had been identified as perfect for us, they not only negotiated all points of sale with the agent (they seem to know the senior negotiators everywhere across London) but easily saved on our budget when we would have bid higher under pressure. Once the bid was accepted, they found a great solicitor and surveyor at short order and remained a brilliant point of contact up until completion.

We could not recommend your services highly enough and would come to you again in a heartbeat if the need arose.

Will Plowden Founder The Roost | Oct 2023

For those considering the use of Olivier or Jane, I couldn’t offer a higher recommendation. For anyone looking for a property, I would insist you use them. They are a 10/10 package.

They played a pivotal role in finalising the deal; without them, our chances would have been slim. They negotiated extensively with the senior members of the property company, to the extent that the vendors chose to side with us over any other parties. Their performance remained exceptional throughout the entire process, encompassing the organisation of all viewings and the sharing of their insights on each property. They consistently exceeded expectations by going above and beyond the standard norms. They meticulously examined details such as windows, alarm systems, boilers, and more – aspects that one wouldn’t typically think to question. Their excellence isn’t limited to their professional abilities; they are outstanding individuals as well. I thoroughly enjoyed chatting during each viewing.

Francisco Alarcon & Maria Munoz Centro de Mediación Empresarial, Ecuador | Sep 2023

This year my wife and I set out to accomplish one of our life goals, which is to own a property in London. Fortunately for us, we worked with Jane Wood and Associates in our search. Every aspect of the process was handled in a personable, diligent, and productive manner. They caught on quickly to our preferences. I found of particular value their policy of only being buying agents (thus eliminating any room for conflicts of interests). I highly recommend Jane Wood and Associates. Their work is highly dedicated, professional, and personable. If I were to buy another property in the UK, I would without doubt work with them again.

Ewan Barron Partner PWC Australia | Aug 2023

I would highly recommend Olivier to anyone looking to purchase property in London. He spent the time to understand our needs and used his experience to explain how the market works and what is involved. From helping shortlist properties, to making an offer, appointing a surveyor, appointing a solicitor, right through to settlement and inspecting the property – Olivier was always there to help and deal with any issues. The process was made easy by having Olivier on the ground and we are delighted with our flat and the location. Olivier was warm and professional throughout the whole process and was highly responsive.

Mary Crettier & Nicholas Penny The National Gallery | Jul 2023

My wife and I needed to downsize but wished to remain in London. Given the size of the city and the range of possibilities, and aware from experience of the limited focus of estate agents even when part of a large organisation, and their incurable preference for showing much that you can’t afford and more than you have specified, it seemed wise to employ a search agent. Olivier immediately engaged in the task of finding something for us, showing us possibilities which helped us to understand our own needs and priorities. There seemed to be no part of London with which he was unfamiliar, he had access to property not yet on the market, and good contacts with numerous agents. He was also able to offer advice on all related matters. He could be contacted at all times and never neglected our interest for a moment. Although he must have been looking after other clients he seemed to be exclusively engaged with our case. He was invariably sympathetic and tolerant of our prejudices and always seeking better to understand our preferences. We are very grateful to him. We would never have found the house we bought without his help.

Grace Alexander & Fiona Russell Mintel / Elton John AIDS Foundation | Jun 2023

Olivier was extremely knowledgeable, and we were able to narrow the search area down to a manageable size based on his knowledge. He kept us on track with the criteria which was brilliant. Without his involvement, I don’t think we would have made an offer so quickly and secured the property. I would definitely use Olivier again and have already recommended him to others.

Flora, Charlotte & Adrian MacKenzie Five V Capital Australia | May 2023

We would thoroughly recommend Jane Wood and Associates, we would not have found our property without Olivier’s help and expertise. Olivier took the time to work out our criteria and how to whittle down our search area, whilst also offering us new areas we hadn’t considered. This meant we quickly worked out what we wanted and where, within our budget. Given this house was for our daughter, Olivier balanced her requirements with our requirements for a good investment.

Lucie & Marcus Birrel Kor Australia | Apr 2023

My daughter Lucie was relocating from Paris wanting to buy an apartment in central west London. Jane was able to assist in fine tuning the exact area which suited Lucie’s requirements and provide the assistance to work through the UK “system” which as Australians we were unfamiliar with. Jane was also able to assist with referring legal and accounting professionals. Lucie is extremely happy with her purchase and we would both recommend the services of Jane Wood & Associates to assist with anyone relocating to London.

Stacy & Kerry Finnon CEO Automotive Industry | Mar 2023

You undersell yourselves… without you, I have no idea where we would be in this process, but I know for sure I wouldn’t be sat writing this in our dream home, as I am now. Who would have thought that we would purchase the very first house you showed us. Thanks to you we wasted no time and no effort, and found us an off market property. You were quite simply one of the best decisions we have ever made. Thank you.

Marianne Elliott & Nick Sidi Theatre Director and Actor | Feb 2023

Just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU for all your help in finding us our next home. You’ve been amazing and we have all loved working with you. So calm and helpful and opened our eyes to new possibilities. Apartment is incredible. We really love it. We would never have found it without your guidance.

James & Ilina Scott WPP and YouTube | Jan 2023

We felt in very good hands from day one. Olivier was calm, professional and guided us through the complexity of the transaction. He has excellent knowledge of the areas we were interested in. We truly benefited from your excellent and very prompt liaising with all the different stakeholders involved in the buying process – solicitor, vendor, selling agent and financial partners, as well as all your expert guidance on each stage, down to taking the time to review the survey results. You were a wonderful, steady guide through what was a very complex process for us. We would certainly have been overwhelmed otherwise. We felt we had an expert by our side who helped us to close in a very competitive market. Again, big, big thank you for all the help in getting us here, we couldn’t have done it without you. We will absolutely recommend you to friends & colleagues in the future.

Brian Hung APG Asset Management Hong Kong | Dec 2022

The whole process was very smooth and I felt Jane followed up appropriately every step of the way. I never felt rushed or pushed and despite not personally being in London, Jane did everything she could to get me comfortable with the property and the neighbourhood. Jane was very professional from our very first call, she briefed me through the process, and she made sure that I understood things properly before proceeding. She knew different markets well and was also able to give me specific local insights and pros/cons of different areas. She made good recommendations for me to consider. Jane respected my wishes, included all the criteria that I wanted and also suggested certain criteria which she thought was important. Jane’s services are very helpful and good value for money. Thank you, Jane.

Anna & Andrew Hamilton Founder Staircraft Group | Nov 2022

What an excellent service! It was an easy, enjoyable experience that we would have struggled with on our own. Jane has the contacts and knowledge needed to find the property of your dreams (ours was off market). She listened to our thoughts and needs at every stage of a changing search. She understood the areas we were interested in, in great detail, but also showed us areas we hadn’t initially thought of. Her knowledge of the areas, roads, properties on the market and sales in these areas was extensive and thought provoking. Our search altered as we became aware of the advantages and disadvantages of different types of properties. Each day with Jane allowed us to view homes in our criteria, but also ones that allowed us to see what we didn’t want, enabling us to make a swift decision. She was professional in her views and provided an excellent service throughout. Negotiating with agents and vendors helped ease the purchase. We definitely received value for money.

Olivia Dickson & Marcus Impact Investing Institute | Sep 2022

Olivier provides an outstanding service. He is incredibly responsive at all times of the day and a constant source of wise advice. He has excellent relationships with local estate agents and this can really make a big difference especially in situations where there are many bidders for a property. Olivier has a good ability to read people and situations and I found him to be an excellent partner in the whole process. He covers every detail from A to Z and makes the process a whole lot less stressful than it might otherwise be. Most important of all, when it comes to making sealed bids, which is often necessary for good properties in the London market, Olivier will help you pitch at the right level and will make your case with the selling agent to maximise the chance of your offer being accepted. Olivier achieved this for me even though I was not the highest bid. Sellers are not bound to take the highest offer in a sealed bid process and so they, advised by their agents, can sometimes favour the buyer who has a credible and experienced agent who has already diligenced the bidder.

Jenny & Tim Morrison Chairman Shell Pension Trust | Sep 2022

A first class service, such a positive experience. Your ability to locate property not yet on the market made all the difference. You had an excellent knowledge of the areas we initially identified, the types of property available, the kinds of issues to watch out for. The service you provided was very helpful, attentive and responsive. It helped that you had firm views about what we were looking at, without trying to impose any particular judgement. We definitely received value for money.

Catherine Oddy and Dan Dalton Woebot Health and A+E Networks UK | Sep 2022

We received a very professional service from Jane Wood and Associates. Their knowledge of Hampstead was invaluable. The short-listed properties got better and better over time until we found the perfect house. We would use the service again as it gave us the edge in a busy market.

Amber & Jon Maxmin Ellipses Pharma | Aug 2022

Olivier was professional throughout his dealings with us. He is an organised, calm and courteous individual who listens carefully and thinks creatively. We were pleased with the number of properties you were able to share with us ahead of any listing, giving us more time to consider each one. We never felt like we were competing for your time with other clients, very skilful. You also put us in contact with very professional service providers.

Amy & Scott Smith Home Depot | Jul 2022

Jane really knows her stuff! I almost felt sorry for some of the estate agents who seemed so out of their depth compared to Jane! She thought of so many things that I never would have thought about which made her so invaluable. Jane is very professional, at the beginning we almost went with a larger firm, I am so glad we didn’t. Jane answered all of our questions and needs very quickly and with great, professional advice. We saw a wide variety of properties that were all within budget. I don’t think we could have purchased the flat we did, at the price that we paid, without Jane.

C, K and A L Geneva | Jul 2022

Looking at property in London can be daunting, as things move so quickly. However we had a great experience with Olivier, who was very professional and responsive, he helped make the process simple from start to finish and was very helpful after exchange/completion too. He paid a lot of attention to what we were looking for in a property and showed us plenty of varied options. Olivier had a really in-depth knowledge of the local area, and the whole process went smoothly with his help. We would rate the service very highly.

Chris & Ian Jacobs Senior lecturer UTS & President and Vice-Chancellor at UNSW | Jun 2022

Outstanding service. Professional, thoughtful, thorough, highly supportive. More than worth the fee. Your knowledge of the areas covered is exceptional. Olivier was highly proactive in dealing with problems and seemed to easily understand what we were seeking and the things we were worried about. That established a sense of trust and confidence which made the process reassuring and much easier. We would highly recommend.

Sarah & Kit Tuke Ecover & Bridgepoint | May 2022

We would never have found the flat we bought had it not been for your help (it was off market). You had an excellent knowledge of the areas we were looking in and showed us a different level of observation when assessing a property. It was also good to overlay your thorough generalist expertise with the specifics of our scope. You also had lots of tips on the market generally which was useful for the flat we were selling. We would definitely recommend your service.

Simone Goodman CFO Forecast | Apr 2022

Big thanks to JWAA for finding and securing my dream forever London home (which was off market). From scoping and refining what it was I really wanted – not a flat in Clerkenwell, a house in Islington – to working with the buyer, agents and legal teams on my behalf, Olivier, you made this whole process wonderful. I will be buying a second property later this year and won’t think to do it on my own or without your help. Thank you again and again!

Priya Khote & Alain Tapie President American School of Paris & CMI Stratégies | Apr 22

We are French nationals and were looking to buy a property in central London. We couldn’t have been luckier than to find Jane Wood as we started our property search, we received an excellent professional service, going way beyond the scope of the contract. We would probably not have succeeded in acquiring our property if it wasn’t for Jane’s professional expertise, efficiency, and perseverance. We appreciated Jane’s engagement, she kept us informed regularly, replied immediately to our questions, coordinated with real estate agencies and the solicitors. Jane has an in-depth knowledge of the London property market and an excellent network of real estate agencies. This allowed Jane to bring properties to our attention that were not yet on the market. We were completely satisfied with the services of Jane Wood & Associates and would definitely recommend them to our friends.

Anna & Dawid Pustulka Facebook | Mar 2022

We rate your service 10/10 and we will be recommending it. Your service is very professional and your very high knowledge of the potential areas of interest added a lot of value to the search process.

Rita, Brian & Sarah McDevitt Oil and Gas | Mar 2022

You provide an excellent service. Olivier’s knowledge of the London housing market and areas was invaluable. He clearly listened to our wish list and selected a good variety of properties. We definitely received value for money, we would not have been able to find the property we eventually bought without your help.

Lorna & John Rowan Belmont Green Finance | Feb 2022

We would happily recommend your excellent service, professional and helpful.  You clearly have a strong knowledge of the areas we were interested in and strong relationships with agents, and we also valued your support around the purchase and legal process. We definitely received value for money.

Amanda & Richard Coe Chief Medical Officer IVC Evidensia | Feb 2022

We used Jane Wood property consultants to help us buy a property in Central London as a pied a terre. Olivier arranged a superbly well-organised day of viewings for us which enabled us to see a good range of properties in our areas of interest very efficiently. We were able to then make an offer the same day and secure our first-choice flat. There is no way we could have looked at so many relevant properties in one day without Olivier’s help, and also the advice we received beforehand on different areas and other criteria to consider for our budget, really helped us to be focussed in our search and eventual decision. I would have no hesitation in recommending Olivier and Jane to anyone trying to buy a London property.

Christie Coutin Aimmune Therapeutics | Jan 2022

Jane provided an excellent service: she was proactive, knowledgeable, unbiased and empathetic. I definitely received value for money, I could not have done this without your guidance, direction and patience.

Torquil, Gillian, Adam & Michael Macnaughton Partner Penta Capital, L.E.K. and UBS | Jan 2022

We engaged Olivier to help purchase a property in London for my two sons. His advice and support was invaluable. He helped to narrow down our search by taking the time to understand exactly what we were looking for which saved a huge amount of time and energy. Nothing was too much trouble for Olivier, he was a consummate professional at all times – knowledgably and insightful. We would not have managed to achieve such a successful result without his help. I would have no hesitation in recommending Olivier and Jane Wood.

Luisa McNeill Ninety One | Dec 2021

I don’t think I will ever be able to express just how grateful I am for the services offered by Olivier at Jane Wood!

I engaged Olivier when I was very stressed out and unable to make a decision on a property, and he calmed me instantly. Within a very short period Olivier had guided me towards a property and then negotiated and completed the purchase as well as provided guidance during the completion and exchange. The whole process was completely seamless, with transparent and regular communication which enabled me to prioritise work and family. And the best thing is – I honestly love my home.  I wish I had reached out to Jane Wood earlier! Will definitely engage Olivier and Jane for future purchases.

So, please don’t hesitate to give them a call!

Dr Huda Yusuf & Gregor Hoefter NHS & Founder, GridDuck | Dec 2021

We would have not considered our chosen property if it hadn’t been for Jane. We would have spent months not knowing what we were looking at. Jane knew exactly what we needed. We had a difficult seller and Jane was calm and supported us throughout the process. Jane saved us considerable time. We are both working parents with little time to look for a family home. Jane dealt with the mortgage advisor, the estate agent and the lawyer. Even after we completed, she visited us and recommended builders. Jane was caring and professional. Her service was excellent – above board and beyond. Thank you for finding us our family home. We are very grateful.

Simone Krakowiak The Trade Desk | Nov 2021

Your service is excellent, very professional, efficient and thoroughly followed up on our needs. Your knowledge of the areas we were interested in was excellent and we definitely received value for money.

Marcus Miller Rise International | Nov 2021

I felt really supported and guided by Olivier’s knowledge and experience and it was great to be able to discuss any queries or concerns that I had with him. Olivier was very professional and personable, he clearly had a good knowledge of the area, as well as a range of good contacts. I also felt that your fees were reasonable. Overall your service is excellent.

Letizia Bellucci & Luca Bonanomi Cinven and Blackstone | Oct 2021

We were particularly impressed by Jane’s analytical approach to our search, with lots of data to compare prices and a deep understanding of historical price trends, this gave us a lot of comfort in our purchase. After trying by ourselves to find a property and always being disappointed at the viewings, Jane’s list was pretty much spot on and once we did the viewings there were multiple properties we were ready to put offers on. Jane was incredibly responsive and always available even at the often non business friendly hours that worked for us (e.g. late in the evening)! She is also still available and checking-in now post-completion. We definitely received value for money and would be happy to act as a referee.

Gay & Mark Bedini Founder Fine & Rare Wines | Sep 2021

This is not the first time we’ve used Jane to find properties for us. We come back to her and recommend her to friends because she never fails to deliver an exceptionally professional and detailed service and, to borrow an overused expression, always goes the extra mile in following the deal through and ensuring the legal processes are kept moving along. She also invariably takes a real interest in how the property is to be managed beyond the deal and provides highly valuable support and makes excellent recommendations. We really can’t praise her highly enough.

Y M & I P Banca IMI and Societe Generale | Aug 2021

From start to finish we received an professional service. We felt that you listened to our brief and took our considerations into account. The discovery process was important for us to try and make an informed decision, the search was well targeted, with the right number of properties seen either in areas we knew or in new ones. Considering our criteria, knowledge of local schools and whether there could be suitable properties around these schools was particularly valuable. Communication was fluid, our time well used and in the end our money well spent finding an off-market property, we definitely received value for money. It helped us close an on-and-off 4-year search. Thank you very much for this, overall your service was excellent.

Michele Lavery Journalist | Jul 2021

When I read on your website that 72% of your clients found their property on the first day out, I didn’t believe it, but that is what happened to us! I had been looking on my own for over a year and Jane found our house on the first day out. She had understood what we wanted exactly, and she knew the market inside out. Her relationships with the estate agents saved us so much time, we saw properties ahead of when I would have seen them on my own, and you could tell that all estate agents liked working with her because she means business. But finding our house was just the beginning. We then had to sell our flat, but Jane was there every step of the way –  indeed ahead of the game. We were prepared for all eventualities and thanks to Jane we avoided so many pitfalls, we would have fallen into if we did not have her expertise. I could not recommend her more highly.

Holly Britton The Collective | May 2021

Olivier was so supportive throughout the whole process, which made the viewing and buying journey seamless. Working with Olivier to find the perfect property was certainly a stress reliever and actually (perhaps surprisingly) incredibly enjoyable. I was collaborating with someone I could trust and rely on to support me by asking the right questions at the right time to maximise my chances of buying the perfect property. Olivier put in the time to understand what type of property I was looking to buy and the area I wanted to buy-in. The research was thorough and the properties we went to view all had something about them that I had specified in my getting to know you sessions. Olivier understood what I was looking for and eventually found me my ideal home, Olivier knows his stuff and is an expert and a true professional. It is clear that he had a huge knowledge base, not only when recommending ideal living areas, but also during the whole viewing and buying journey. He knew what to say to the sellers and agents making me much more comfortable and confident during this significantly important chapter in my life.  I had a really clear idea of what property I wanted, but the options provided broadened my horizons and challenged the initial stereotype of what I thought was going to be my ideal home.

Your service is 10/10 because I really would not have found my new home in my dream location if it wasn’t for the research and work that Olivier put in, so thank you from the bottom of my heart!

R A Edinburgh | Apr 2021

Olivier went the extra mile for us, we couldn’t have done without him, his expert knowledge, experience and networks were all evident. He was attentive, proactive and available throughout. Your service is excellent, we definitely received value for money.

Emma & David Cochrane ExxonMobil | Mar 2021

The service Jane provided was truly excellent and always professional. Without Jane’s help it would have been like looking for a needle in a haystack – she understands the haystack and she knows – almost building by building, or street by street – where the best needles are! Jane provided a really helpful and insightful comparison and pros and cons of different areas, even different buildings – including some areas we hadn’t considered at all such as Kew and Battersea. Our criteria kept evolving so we didn’t make it easy, but Jane truly understood what might fit our needs for a second home. She has rare intuition, I think she knew what we wanted before we did! Working with Jane gave us an edge with both the agents and vendor, we secured our house despite other higher offers. Jane was very patient with us, and fun to be with. Just great. Jane also provided us with referrals for solicitors and painters/decorators and we have been very happy with the quality of service by her recommended providers. Even after we had completed, paid Jane’s invoice and were working with decorators, she still was ensuring everything stayed on track for us. Just superb. The service we signed up for and that you provided exceeded our expectations.

Anne Joseph & James Libson Managing Partner Mishcon de Reya | Feb 2021

From the beginning, Olivier listened carefully to our needs and through his thorough knowledge and strong contacts with estate agents in the area, we saw our new home. Due to a number of technical reasons, issues that were long outstanding, it took a long time to get to completion but Olivier was utterly tireless in his efforts to assist and move the situation along. We felt well supported and he looked after our interests with patience, care, professionalism and determination. I would have no hesitation in recommending Olivier, in fact I already have.

Elliot Briery Oliver Wyman | Jan 2021

Your knowledge of the areas we covered was excellent, as was the overall service you provided.

TS Facebook | Dec 2020

I felt both Olivier and Jane were very knowledgeable and direct which is why I chose to work with Jane Wood & Associates. Olivier was proactive, responsive and thoughtful throughout the search and also in guiding me through the conveyancing process as a first-time buyer. He also had a great knowledge of the areas covered. I had a lot of criteria but we saw a diverse range of properties, I felt that the properties we viewed checked off as many of my criteria as possible, which was useful. I think the fees were reasonable and that I would not have found a property without your guidance. Overall your service is excellent.

Robin & Caroline Weir Authors | Nov 2020

To anyone debating whether to get help with their hunt for a new property it pays to get in the professionals. After searching for nearly a year with no results, Jane Wood and Associates (Jane & Olivier), using their contacts in the property business soon got us onto the inside track in a way that would have been impossible for us. They found us two possible flats in the first week despite our unusual spec. The one we bought was completely off market. We saved time, money and heartache. Enormous thanks to Olivier, his attention throughout was impeccable.

SH Hong Kong | Oct 2020

Over two days of viewings, we ended up with a property that we wouldn’t have found ourselves or probably had the confidence to go for without your help. You showed us a good range of properties and managed to zone in on our interests. Your insights made a difference. You provided a very professional and balanced service, even when we were dithering! We would absolutely use you again and recommend you to friends.

Meganne & Mark Houghton-Berry Angel Investors | Sep 2020

We have used your service twice now and we think it is excellent. It was tremendously helpful to have your expert perspective and it would have been enormously time-consuming for us to attempt to duplicate the service for ourselves, and we would have had much less confidence in the result.

Jeremy Cunningham Partner, Reynolds Porter Chamberlain | Jul 2020

I have used JWAA for two of my house moves now. One in South London and one in West London. I was sceptical about using a property finder first time around. This scepticism quickly evaporated however. Their insightful knowledge of the market place, including price comparisons between different areas and their relationships with estate agents was invaluable. However it was their meticulous focused approach, help in negotiations and knowing when suitable properties were about to enter the market which offered the real value add. I won’t hesitate to use them on my next move!

Maxim Van de moortel | Davis Polk & Wardwell London LLP Anna Pollak | Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP | Jun 2020

We were introduced to Jane Wood through our banker who highly recommended their services and they did not disappoint. Olivier was extremely professional, organized and responsive to our questions. He is very knowledgeable and provided valuable insight into the property market in London which ultimately convinced us that we were paying the right price for the property. Olivier’s help in securing the purchase and making completion as smooth as it could be was great. We also received a number of recommendations for various tradesmen and craftsmen, which came in very helpful in the first few weeks of living in the new property. Thank you Olivier!

Alexander Corporate Finance | May 2020

London’s property market is vast and therefore very difficult to navigate. It is of paramount importance to avoid an expensive mistake by selecting the wrong property. Personally it was also very important to know that all available options have been researched. Jane Wood & Associates certainly give you this confidence and operate to the highest standards. JWA listen to your requirements very carefully and adjust their search accordingly. Their advice is invaluable. I will certainly work with them again if I need to purchase another property.

Mike Begg Payment Systems Regulator | Apr 2020

Jane knows the market in her areas of specialisation extremely well, and gives you a very good idea of what you can get for your budget, including very disparate and interesting alternatives. She also gives sound advice on bidding on and securing the place you eventually choose, guiding you through the whole process, including if necessary recommendations for equally competent advisors – solicitors, financial advisors etc. All in all an excellent service.

Louise Millar-Goeritz London | Mar 2020

You provided a really outstanding service, thank-you Jane so much. We would not have got the flat without your outstanding assistance.

Hugh & Clare Richards Islington | Feb 2020

On our first scouting trip together, we viewed a number of buildings with Olivier, none of which were formally on the market. I was taken aback to receive an email from Olivier the following day, detailing a long discussion that he had already had with the owner of the most promising one. I knew immediately that Jane Wood & Associates were serious people and we went on to buy another, even more appropriate building. It’s an excellent service.

Nicola & David Stogdale Kenya | Dec 2019

The service you provided was excellent and Olivier was extremely professional in every way. A friend put us on touch and it was a stroke of good fortune to be able to work with Olivier and receive total peace of mind during the whole process. It was down to Olivier’s insightful knowledge and guidance that we were able to find the perfect property, and this simply would not have been possible without his help.

There was excellent preparation and communication – keeping us involved at each stage and explaining the next steps throughout. Olivier helped liaise with solicitors and surveyors and nothing was too much trouble. We honestly felt we could call on him at any time, and would always be met with sound advice from his tremendous experience and knowledge. He spent as much time and trouble with helping us – buying a property with a limited budget, as if we had been spending millions!

TG Yorkshire | Nov 2019

From the very beginning Jane was so professional and knowledgeable, establishing a firm understanding of our needs and wants. Her knowledge of the market and the areas we looked at was extremely comprehensive. Our day out looking at properties was so well organised and we fitted so much into one day, which meant we had a really good overview immediately of the types of property we could get in certain areas and it also helped us maximise our time, which is always limited. Jane absolutely listened to all our requirements and we felt that all the shortlisted properties met those criteria and beyond. Jane was so helpful in securing our property liaising with estate agents, solicitors and surveyors and helped us get over the line. I really felt that Jane gave us confidence to make a purchase that we would not have been able to make without her. The service that Jane gives is so much more than we could have expected and we have really enjoyed working with her on this.

Karen Bates and James Grassick Zeel | Oct 2019

We would not have gotten our house without Olivier’s help, suggestions, recommendations and knowledge of the market. Olivier was extremely professional. He was organised, knowledgeable, and he spoke with us honestly about the properties we viewed. Before compiling a shortlist, Olivier did make suggestions in regards to how our criteria met our life and ambitions which was greatly appreciated. Every property on the shortlist met our criteria, and we were not pressured to compromise even though properties that met our criteria are hard to come by in our desired area. We would absolutely use the service again, and will be recommending to friends and colleagues when they are looking to move. I wouldn’t move without them! I genuinely can’t think of any way to improve. Olivier was always easy to get in touch with, proactive, experienced and knowledgeable at every step.

Angela and Charles Gould Co-founder Further my Future | Sep 2019

Before we discovered JWAA we spent several frustrating days exploring different areas in London. The more we looked the more unsure we became and the more we realised we needed some expert help! Through careful questioning about our requirements, Jane and Olivier were able to narrow down our options to something more manageable. They went away and came back a few days later with a short list in three different areas. Olivier spent a day driving us around perhaps a dozen properties which took us a huge step forward and we decided that Clapham would suit our needs. A further day of shortlisted visits and we found what we wanted. Olivier helped us negotiate a price that we were very happy with. He also liaised with solicitors and estate agents through exchange of contracts to completion. From the start we had complete confidence in Olivier’s knowledge and advice and we got what we wanted as quickly and painlessly as we could have hoped.

Kate and Jason Gatenby CEO Montagu | Sep 2019

Thanks for your help Jane. I think the house is perfect and your guidance was invaluable.

Simon, Helen and Sophie Green Moho London | Aug 2019

Your service is very professional and efficient but friendly and relaxed too. Working with you made the whole process so easy and stress free, it was good value for money, we have never bought a house so quickly before! Your knowledge of the areas covered is excellent, we saw a cross section of houses from those needing total renovation to those ready to move into, they all fitted the brief. We would definitely recommend your service to friends and colleagues.

Rachel and Andrew Jones Dow | Jul 2019

Jane’s knowledge of our selected areas was very impressive, down to individual streets and even individual apartment blocks. We benefited from her many years of experience in the industry. Jane worked very hard to meet our needs and help us understand the market. She was extremely professional throughout the entire process. We were very grateful she was able to recommend solicitors, a surveyor and even a local builder for some renovations. We would not hesitate to recommend her services.

The Heath and Huxley families Brisbane, Australia | Jun 2019

Olivier went above and beyond our expectations. Firstly, with exceptional understanding of our brief, despite us living on the other side of the world. Secondly, by matching this against a multitude of initial options and his deep insights into the London apartment market. Thirdly, he helped us make an informed, lower-risk buy decision with quality access to his trusted network of survey, legal and finance advisers. Lastly, he landed the transaction to our satisfaction, with judgement, attention to detail and round the clock availability. Thank-you Olivier!

Simon Vallence Qantas, Australia | May 2019

I found Jane to be extremely professional and organised. Her knowledge of the London housing market and the various areas was incredible and an asset to any potential property purchaser. A true professional.

Tina S. Sydney, Australia | Apr 2019

I needed to assist my daughter, based in London, with the purchase of her first apartment. From the very first moment we met Olivier, we knew we could trust him. He actively listened to my daughter’s ideas and was able to quickly identify the apartment of her dreams, which she settled on in January. Olivier managed communication with both my daughter on the ground in London and me in Australia very smoothly, demonstrating respect for both of us at all times. Olivier made himself available for any questions or conversation at any time from the very first meeting to beyond settlement date. He is extremely professional with deep knowledge of the market and all aspects of property transactions.He was very patient in explaining concepts and regulations to which we had never been exposed as foreigners. It was such a pleasure for us both to work with Olivier and we would not hesitate to recommend his services.

Hamish Grant Bridgepoint | Mar 2019

Jane’s knowledge of the area I was interested in is was excellent, you are also very professional. Overall your service definitely represents value of money.

Alex Marples IG | Feb 2019

Working with you we found a house that we would otherwise have missed, and the other houses you showed us were perfect comparables, so when we found “the one” we had no hesitation. You were well prepared, knowledgeable and responsive. We definitely received value for money.

LD Edinburgh | Jan 2019

Olivier immediately understood our specific requirements and efficiently organised a range of options for us to consider.  His help in securing the property and introductions to relevant professionals have been invaluable.  Olivier was easy to work with and I would happily recommend him.

Alex Chalmer and Will Southward The Peligoni Group and Channel 4 | Dec 2018

Your service was excellent. We definitely received value for money. Olivier was proactive, accommodating, friendly and reliable.  Even though we were looking at a small area he managed to show us a new street and encouraged us to view houses we would not have considered.

Andrew Gustafson ITV | Nov 2018

Olivier was very professional, but also personable, friendly and helpful. He clearly had experience working in the area and seemed to know all of the estate agents in the area, which was of great benefit. I definitely received value for money. It was a very prompt result and I managed to get a property which ticked all the boxes I wanted, with the added benefit of an extra bedroom for my price range. Olivier’s knowledge of the market also reassured me that I was getting the best result. It was also of great benefit that Olivier was in contact with a good solicitor (I’ve heard it can be hard to find a good property solicitor) and also a good surveyor.

Geoff Thompson CEO Nexus Hospitals, Australia | Oct 2018

We were absolutely delighted with the service provided by Jane. From our first conversation 6 months ago and throughout the whole process Jane was wholeheartedly committed to finding a property that met our requirements. She has a deep knowledge of the London property market and is clearly respected by the real estate agents she deals with. Jane provided us with a great short list of properties which we inspected over a well-orchestrated 2 day period. We identified 2 flats that were perfect for our needs and then Jane successfully negotiated a great outcome on our 1st preference. Apart from identifying and negotiating on the property Jane was a constant source of important information, advice and contacts. At all times it felt like Jane was putting as much effort into the process as if it were her own property. Thanks for finding our lovely second home in London, Jane – We would be happy to talk to any of your prospective clients to share our experience.

Eileen Cooper OBE Royal Academy, English Contemporary Artist | Oct 2018

I met Olivier and Jane by chance, but the timing was perfect as we were trying to help our son to buy a property… alas, things were not going well.Olivier stepped in and our son has just exchanged on a lovely house in South London. Olivier is very knowledgeable, supportive, honest and highly organised, all his suggestions and introductions were excellent. We are incredibly grateful on a personal level and delighted with the professional service provided. Thank you Jane and Olivier.

Christel Cao-Delebarre Carlson Wagonlit Travel | Sept 2018

Your service was of the utmost professionalism from beginning to end including after-service. Constant availability, fast resolution and pro-activeness were also part of the service provided. Your knowledge was excellent and in-depth, with breadth of experience and a network of useful contacts available within hours. I was really highly satisfied with the service provided and I definitely received value for money.

Ann and Peter Jones Partner Eversheds Sutherland | Jul 2018

We had mistakenly thought that we could find a suitable flat ourselves. We therefore deferred instructing thinking that we could manage ourselves, and save ourselves some money.We soon learned the error of our ways, and wish we had instructed you earlier. We found that we actually saved time, and money, given Jane’s knowledge of the market, that led to her knowing where to find value. Jane was indefatigable, and the service was highly professional throughout.

Lee and Andrew Peddie CEO, FHL Cloud Solutions | May 2018

Your service was invaluable, extremely professional. With your knowledge and advice, we were able to refine our search quickly. Your connections with estate agents were crucial to our search and made the whole process easier and quicker. Also there was never any pressure to purchase any property we saw with you. Without your input it is very possible that we would have made a very expensive mistake. We could not have asked for a better service.

Dr Paul and Viv Whitney Parallel Equity | Apr 2018

We are very satisfied with the service provided, everything was excellent. We have already recommended you.

Johnny Bedini Telegraph Media Group | Mar 2018

It was an absolute pleasure working with Olivier and Jane on our property hunt and I wouldn’t even consider doing it again without their help!  Olivier and Jane were the epitome of professionalism throughout the process, always bang on time, listened attentively to all of our requirements and feedback, and crafted an extremely through schedule of viewings that were all within our specifications, we seriously considered almost all of the properties we viewed. Olivier has a full knowledge of seemingly all of South London, and was able to pinpoint exactly the kind of areas we wanted to live in, translating our desires around transport, ambience and area into a variety of highly viable properties. Olivier also handled the estate agents and solicitors with diligence and care to the extent that we almost had nothing to do!  Considering all the work that went on behind the scenes, your service was certainly worth the money.

Nick Partner, Pinsent Masons | Feb 2018

A very professional yet personal service. I put an offer in on the third property I visited. It was so refreshing to be shown only properties which had the characteristics I was looking for rather than the endless unsuitable properties you are normally shown with a seller’s agent. Overall, excellent service, I got the result I wanted particularly given the amount of time it saved me and the cost I would have incurred if I had bought the wrong property.

Linda and John MacDonald Bechtel, USA | Dec 2017

We definitely received value for money. Your service is excellent, very professional. Olivier even took the time to stay engaged and progress the search while on a family vacation outside the UK.  We would gladly recommend your services and would still consider using your services if we choose to upgrade.

Marie-Laure Prevost London | Oct 2017

Olivier is not just a professional, he is sensitive and cares about his clients. He took the time to listen to us and helped us patiently explore several options in several areas. He understood our needs and desires and was straightforward about what we could afford. That saved us a lot of time. He was very proactive and in constant communication with us. This helped us to focus and find out exactly what we wanted. I felt at ease to ask him many questions to which he would promptly reply.

Nick Matthew Nick Nack Productions | Sep 2017

Absolutely excellent. Jane couldn’t have been more hands on and helpful from the moment we started, all the way through the conveyancing to completion and beyond! It was completely stress free and you were the absolutely driving force behind the whole process. Couldn’t fault you if I tried!  Your knowledge of the areas covered is excellent and I definitely saw enough properties that matched my criteria.  I should add that I almost certainly would not have seen the majority of the properties, including the one I ended up purchasing, had it not been for your invaluable input. There is no way I would have got my property at the price that I achieved with your help.  I unequivocally received value for money.

Francesca Condini and Peter Ratcliffe Goldman Sachs and Lafosse Associates | Aug 2017

We definitely received value for money. Working with Jane saved us a lot of stress and helped us secure a property that we are very happy with, so was definitely worth the fee. Your service is excellent, you know all the tips about the different locations, the pros and cons and what did fit our needs. We gave a very short notice to Jane to select various properties to see in a day of viewing, we found our property and placed an offer immediately.  You were available at all times, day and night, and were always quick to respond and give the right advice. Your help was precious all through the process.

Cecile Goorney London | Jul 2017

Your service is excellent, as is your knowledge of the areas covered. I cannot think of how your service could be improved.  You took into account my special needs, even when my criteria varied.

David Naylor Co-Founder Chan-Naylor National Accounting Group Australia | Jun 2017

Your overall service is excellent, very professional and approachable, you have been a pleasure to deal with. Your knowledge is very good.  Your service was good value for money given the peace of mind you provided, particularly being overseas and not knowing the intricacies and how the system works. You always kept me abreast of proceedings and communicated promptly and professionally keeping me fully informed every step of the way.

Jess Zurcher Young Vic | May 2017

I definitely received value for money. You were really attentive and greatly eased my entry into the London property market. By the end of day one I already had a far better understanding for the areas I was considering. Your service and knowledge of London is excellent, you seem to know the entirety of London, it is amazing.  You were helpful in exactly the way I was hoping when researching a property guru. I felt looked after but not overly so. Your approach is relaxed but you are on top of things.

Béatrice and Christian Heil CEO and Founder L-Acoustics | Apr 2017

We have used your services on three occasions, to help us find rare properties in London. The first time you helped us find a unique property in Hampstead whilst we were still in France, and we felt very fortunate to have been supported that well. The second time we acquired an exceptional commercial property, close to our home, after four months of research, thanks to your methodical process, combining price analysis, location options and size requirements.Given how effective you had been, we asked you to help us find a third property in Central London, you managed to short list 13 properties which we visited in half a day, and again we found a rare pearl which made us commit immediately.I can only recommend your services, for their effectiveness, your close attention to detail, and your very helpful, open communication.  We will certainly ask you to help us again with our future acquisitions

Cécile and Florian de Cormis Tate Gallery & Grosvenor, Clive and Stokes | Mar 2017

From the moment we met Olivier, we knew we would work with him and enjoy it…and he proved us right! It has been a real joy to work with Olivier, and total peace of mind is absolutely what he provided. This was our first time buying a property and I can honestly say that we didn’t experience any stress throughout the process. His excellent preparation, brilliant communication – keeping us involved at each stage and explaining the next steps clearly and helpfully – his seemingly endless patience in answering our questions, generous availability – evenings, weekends – and last but not least his solid common sense and dry sense of humour made our house search a stress-free and enjoyable process. Knowing that he was overseeing the process instilled utter confidence that we would find the right property in a short time, and we did. We cannot thank him enough, both for getting us our lovely first new home, and in preserving our sanity – as a couple and a family! – throughout the process. We would definitely recommend Olivier to anyone looking for a property; the time gained and stress saved is invaluable. In fact we have already recommended him to all our friends and will continue to do so. We look forward to working with Olivier again…in due course! In the meantime we are delighted to be enjoying our new home. Thank you again for everything Olivier.

Lucy and Paul Ritchie Bowring Marsh, Bermuda | Feb 2017

We felt that the help and advice you provided was extremely professional, highly organised and very efficient. It was very helpful to see different types of property in a wide range of locations and all within 24 hours! Your knowledge of the London property market was invaluable to us as we were conducting the search from overseas. As were the contacts you kindly provided for the surveyor and solicitor. We have already passed your details to one couple here and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending you to others.

Jackie, Richard and Izzy Martin Fred Olsen Cruise Lines, Rapid Platforms and King's College | Dec 2016

You almost became part of our family for the search, we trusted you completely. You have taken the time to get to know us and our daughter (who would be living in the property) really well, discovering exactly what it was we needed. You recommended an area that was spot on and helped us to discover what would work for us. The viewing day was really well organised and we found an excellent property as a result. We would definitely recommend your services to anyone looking to buy in London. Thank you!

Safia and Fabien Lammoth Shelter UK and Shell | Nov 2016

We are extremely impressed with the service we received. It was highly professional and very personal at the same time. The property finding and purchasing process was a little daunting for us at first. We needn’t worry, you were there for us every step of the way and made the whole experience as stress-free as it could possibly have been. Throughout the whole process you were thoroughly invested in helping us make the right choices for us personally but also financially. Thoroughly recommend!

Simone Zampa Moody's | Oct 2016

You provided a professional and excellent service. Your bespoke approach and the friendly relationship that we developed during a demanding process was very much appreciated. I would use your services again.

Stephen Mccallion GE Saudi Arabia and Bahrain | Sep 2016

Your fee was money well invested. Your knowledge is excellent, you seem to know every nook and cranny of every street. I have received a very professional service that was above average and exceeded my expectations. I have already recommended your services to a number of my friends.

Roger Ahn Consultant Connect | Jul 2016

Your service is excellent. Your communication was great, as was your knowledge of the process and area. Your ability to build the relationship with the selling agent and shepherd things through the solicitor were also really valuable. You were super responsive, with great attention to detail and willingness to go that bit further.

Richard Lancaster CEO CLP Holdings Limited, Hong Kong | Jun 2016

A highly professional service with a very personal touch. We definitely received value for money. You demonstrated an excellent knowledge of the area and was able to guide us to the right decision. Your advice was helpful and timely. We are delighted with the service you gave us and would not hesitate to contact you again, we would have no hesitation in recommending Jane and Olivier to anyone.

Karin Bergvall King | May 2016

You provided a brilliant service as I was looking to buy my first flat in London with very little experience of real estate. You understood my needs very well, and helped manage my expectations and budget, without pressuring me to spend more than intended. I appreciated your expertise in looking at flats, reassuring me about flaws that were easily fixable, and steering me away from more serious issues. I always felt that you were on my side in negotiating prices, dealing with estate agents, lawyers, etc. And following the successful purchase, you’ve been super kind and offered help in finding tradespeople, and always been available for questions. Thank you so much for helping me navigate the London property jungle, and for making the whole process painless and (nearly) enjoyable!

Clifford and Margaret Noonan London | Apr 2016

Your service was professional as always, and you managed the sale/buy aspects of the deal very well. Excellent knowledge of Central London and overall excellent service.

Jenny and Luke Gormley Citigroup | Mar 2016

Many thanks for all your help, you have done a brilliant job at finding a place that we like, and then keeping the sale on track. You filled us with confidence. We couldn’t have done it without you, and appreciate all your patience and help.

Anita and Vlad Google | Feb 2016

Your service was excellent, very professional. We were impressed with how many of the properties did fit our criteria. We had missed many of the properties you showed us in our own searches. We definitely received value for money, your service saved us a lot of time and stress, you helped us make the right offer and we were able to get the property under asking price ahead of another interested buyer. We would definitely recommend your service to friends and colleagues.

Colin and Sue Boswell London | Jan 2016

This was a very difficult assignment. Your service was faultless, 100% professional. Our viewing days were perfect and you took all the stress out of the undertaking.  Your knowledge could not be faulted. We could not have done it without you and we would definitely recommend your services.

Liam Healey Credit Suisse | Nov 2015

From the introductory meeting where you outlined how your service works, all the way to providing a sounding board post completion, you have provided guidance and reassurance at every step.  I am confident that I secured a property below the market rate, which met my brief, will be a happy home and will grow in value.  You provided a professional, expert service throughout and you were patient to progress at my pace and made yourself available at my convenience. Your service was excellent.”

Geraldine and Philip Stanton COO EY, MENA | Nov 2015

Thank you again for all your help and professionalism.  You certainly made our property finding mission a lot easier than we expected.  We also appreciate your follow ups after the purchase went through. Your service was excellent.

Helen and Stephen Mangham Co-founder Mangham Gaxiola, Singapore | Sep 2015

Your service was exemplary.  Always a fast response and a very thorough and professional property finder’s service. You were very supportive throughout what is always a fairly stressful process. You provided very calm and informative advice and went ‘the extra mile’ to help. Your insights were always ‘spot on’ and helpful, enabling us to make an informed choice, always keeping to the brief.

Virginie and Nigel Knight Partner EY, China | Sep 2015

Your service was excellent, the team worked very hard to meet our requirements and were efficient in selecting interesting properties. We did not waste any time. This was money well spent. We would recommend your service.

Giles Bowring Yorkshire | Sep 2015

Thanks for all your help.  It was great.  Your service was excellent.

Paolo Battaglia Goldman Sachs | Jul 2015

Your help has been decisive in my property search; otherwise I probably wouldn’t have been able to complete due to my many conflicting commitments. You provided me with an excellent search service lifting from me most of the process-related burden, but you also offered significant advice in negotiations, ultimately leading to an excellent deal. I believe the savings granted by your accurate knowledge of the market (you know Victoria / Westminster / St. James area literally building by building) more than offset the fees paid. I definitely received value for money. Your service is excellent.

Lorna and Mike Adamson CEO British Red Cross Society | Jul 2015

Just to say a big thank you to you and Olivier, we can’t thank you enough. You went over and beyond what you needed to do.  You really took the stress and hassle out of the buying process and we couldn’t have done it without you.  It would have been so stressful to try to do this alone.

Kate and Jason Gatenby CEO Montagu Private Equity | Jun 2015

We thought the service you provided was excellent as always. We felt you bent over backwards to help us with the research and as always, achieved the best possible price for us. Thank you both!

Julia Littleboy Farsight Consulting | May 2015

Your service was fantastic. Not only did you demonstrate a deep understanding of residential areas across the city, the attention to our individual needs was meticulous, and we felt in very good hands. The tailored options you provided really did meet the criteria, giving us plenty of choice and making the process much more seamless. I would, without a shadow of a doubt, be happy to recommend you to anyone looking to buy an apartment in London. Thanks again!

Hannah Cecil-Gurney and Edward Harden de Gournay Design and Interiors and Galileo Underwriting | Apr 2015

We are deliriously happy in the new house. Your service is excellent.  Insanely efficient. I was always super sceptical of buyer’s agent fees but I have to say that to look at our first property on 15th Dec and be in the house over a month later was something I never believed possible.  I am super impressed.  Well worth the fees. Thank you for making everything so seamless.

Gracie Cooper and John Gibbons Peppersmith and CIL Consultants | Mar 2015

I was a little cynical at first but I genuinely could not recommend JWA enough.  Incredible value for money for making the purchase of our home so stress-free. You guided us through the whole process in such a professional yet approachable manner. From setting up the viewings in one afternoon (where we found our home), to negotiating the price, helping with all the communications with the lawyers/mortgage brokers and even now still giving us tips on dealing with builders, you have been unbelievable all the way through.  Thank you.

Amabel Clarke Storyteller | Jan 2015

As you know, I am extremely grateful for your service , help and for holding my hand. I am delighted with everything.

CW Spain | Jan 2015

Our second purchase with you was just as enjoyable as our first one a few years ago!

Dr Valerie Spangenberg New York | Dec 2014

It is difficult to find words to express my gratitude for your wonderful service. Finding a home in London would have been impossible without your expertise, in an amazingly short time. I can only speak in the highest terms of your knowledge, enthusiasm, efficiency and organisation. It was a privilege working with you and I would recommend you to anyone. I am thrilled with my new home, it is a dream come true, and thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Nir, Daniel and Maya Wegzryn CEO BrandOpus and Deliveroo | Nov 2014

The service you provide is excellent, and you were always available at short notice and ready to provide sound advice.

Oliver Hughes CEO Tinkoff Bank, Moscow | Oct 2014

Your service was very professional. Your help, advice and support was well worth the money!

RI Istanbul | Sep 2014

I received a fantastic service from Jane Wood and Associates in my flat search in London. It could not have have been quicker, more efficient and more effective. You understood my needs and objectives very well and immediately pictured the correct type of flat/location and helped me to act very quickly to secure it. Your knowledge of the neighbourhoods and experience of the market is impressive. You were always very quick in getting back to me and I felt in very good hands all along. I cannot thank you enough.

Dr Maria Farkas and Professor Sendil Ethiraj Imperial College and London Business School | Sep 2014

It seemed that you were friends or acquaintances with almost all of the estate agents we saw, you not only knew the areas we were interested in, you clearly had deep professional contacts that enabled you to find us a home that was never listed on the open market. We felt really well taken care of, and definitely received value for money. We would certainly reuse your service.

Victoria Gatenby and Major Guy Gatenby Oxford | Sep 2014

As a military family, currently posted abroad, we had a very short period of time in which to search for a London property -basically one day. You compiled an excellent short list of the best properties available, based on our initial brief. The advice you provided during our day of viewing was invaluable. You also helped us negotiate our way through the highly competitive bidding process. Thanks to your expertise, we found the perfect apartment and secured it on our first attempt, which was a huge relief, given our time constraints. We would never have managed this without your advice. You were extremely professional throughout. You offer an excellent service and we would highly recommend you.

Professor Pat Price University of Manchester | Aug 2014

Marvellous… by a mile the best property search company we have used… so professional, understood our individual needs perfectly, helped us at every single stage and provided such a comprehensive service. Two months from first viewings to seamless exchange -fantastic – can’t thank you enough. This simply would not have happened without you.

Kevin Beeston Chairman Taylor Wimpey | Jul 2014

Your service was excellent.

C.B. London | Jul 2014

We definitely received value for money. The service was incredibly professional, above average and tailored to our specific needs. I felt that you got to know us well as clients and worked with each of us in the way that made us feel relaxed yet involved in the process. Your knowledge was way above expectations.

Patricia and Brian Murdoch Spain | Jun 2014

We are very happy with our property purchase. It ticks all the main boxes plus a few we did not expect to get. So for very little time and effort on our part we are up and running in London much more quickly than we would ever have done on our own. We definitely received value for money. Your property search service is excellent.

William Spooner Glanmoor Investments | May 2014

Your service is very professional, as is your knowledge of the areas covered. With regards to the number of properties that you showed us, you had the right balance and that is why we bought two properties in two months. We definitely received value for money.

Julia Walker Teach First | Mar 2014

Fantastic service offered, beautiful properties viewed, huge support on an incredibly complicated exchange of contracts, we could not have asked for a more helpful way into London property. You found us a property that was not even on the market; a truly valuable service.

Koko Sarkari CEO ICE | Apr 2014

It is hard to raise the bar on perfection! Your service was excellent.

Henry Kronsten | London Feb 2014

I felt your service was professional and your knowledge of the areas covered was excellent.

Rosemary Porter and Major General Simon Porter NATO | Jan 2014

We definitely received value for money, especially when the price you negotiated led to a saving for us almost equivalent to your fees. But even if it had not, your search services would still have been value for money for us. I am not sure how you could improve your service. You moved quickly, acted as our “foot on the ground”, provided excellent support and reassurance, especially to Rosemary in her solo visits, negotiated a saving on the purchase price, kept the whole purchase process moving and answered our many questions frankly and quickly. Your service was excellent and professional in every respect.

Alison and William Littleboy Edinburgh | Nov 2013

Thank you so much for all your help and support during this purchase. We are delighted with the outcome, and your assistance made the process so much easier and more enjoyable!

Clifford and Margaret Noonan Wales | Nov 2013

We both thought you provided an excellent search service, from the first meeting through to the successful conclusion of our purchase. You identified the right area of London for us, and had advance notification through your contacts of properties coming on the market. We definitely received value for money, your overall service was excellent.

Amy Abob Pamplona Funds | Oct 2013

I am very happy with the excellent service I received. I definitely received value for money. You were extremely well organised, always helpful, I received prompt replies to every query I had. Your knowledge and insight were instrumental in choosing and securing the right property. Your continued assistance and guidance gave me the comfort and peace of mind from start to finish. Thank you very much.

JG JP Morgan | Nov 2013

Your service was very professional, from setting out the terms and process initially, to taking charge and following through with all parties involved, to final details and post-sale service. I definitely received value for money.

Kay Hall Willow Barn Consulting | Oct 2013

Twenty years of deliberating about buying an apartment in London was efficiently condensed into one very full day of viewings at a time when the supply of stock was low. This was very impressive. You were extremely prompt to respond and focused on getting the job done efficiently. I would never had had the confidence nor found the time to find an apartment without your excellent service. Also I would highly recommend tapping into your network of third parties, such as mortgage brokers and solicitors. They worked very smoothly together.

Dr Sheilagh Cronin Rural Doctors Association of Australia | Oct 2013

Thank you very much for your help, I was very happy with your research and without your help I would be still looking. Your service was good value. I thought you offered a good range of choices and yes I would recommend your search services. Thanks to your recommendations on the survey and solicitors it all went very smoothly.

Jane S and Michael S Hampstead | Oct 2013

Your service was very professional, we liked the fact that you visited our house and spent time sharing your insights and helping us define our requirements, which we were not entirely sure of ourselves. It prompted us to look at other areas that we had not considered.  We could not have found somewhere so quickly and easily without your help.

Kate Nicoli Publicis Groupe | Oct 2013

Your service is the perfect balance between being both professional and friendly. You seemed to have an excellent relationship with many of the local estate agents which was of great help. I would not buy a house without your help in the future and I will recommend your service to anyone looking to buy. I definitely received value for money and considering how much I love my home, that is in many ways priceless.

Catherine G and Marc B Consulting | Oct 2013

The Jane Wood & Associates team has delivered the expected professional service end to end, from the initial “property requirement definition” meeting to the day we entered into our new property. The high level of quality of their services and their ability to flex were critical to help us to move into a new house in less than three months. We have definitively received value for money and the return on investment has been very good for us.

Barbara and Graham Scott Rohde and Schwarz, Munich | Sep 2013

Because London is so big and diverse in terms of price, quality, and location, your expert knowledge was worth the price even without the rest of the service provided. It could take years to build up the necessary knowledge to be able to say with confidence ‘I bought the right place, at the right price, and in the right location’. On top of this, the service provided was excellent, very professional, consistent, quick and thorough. You were always there for us, right through to completion.

Penelope Gibbons Inspired Thinking Group | Sep 2013

Considering my tough criteria and being very particular about what I was looking for, I was really pleased with the range of properties we saw. It really helped me refine my thoughts about what kind of property I was and was not looking for and then feel really confident when we found “the one”!I definitely received value for money.

Philipp Lotter Moody's | Aug 2013

You performed spectacularly. We found just the right property, secured and executed the deal thanks to your excellent stewardship. Your service was professional at all times. You were extremely knowledgeable about the area. In hindsight, I would have happily paid more for your services.

Salma Tuqan Delfinia Foundation | Jul 2013

I definitely received value for money, your service was excellent, professional and thorough. You were very much in synch with my objectives for a property, I felt very guided through the whole buying process. I would absolutely use your services again and I have already recommended you to some friends.

Sophie Skarbek-Borowska Copywriter, London | Jun 2013

Your service was excellent, as was your knowledge of the areas covered, you made the whole process as easy as possible. I definitely received value for money.

Anna and Andrew Czajkowski World Intellectual Property Organisation | May 2013

We were very impressed with how quickly you understood our requirements and found us what we were looking for. Moreover, you always responded quickly and thoroughly to questions and requests. Your knowledge of the areas covered is excellent, particularly as I know these areas myself.

Sebastien Prud’homme Infosys | Apr 2013

I was very impressed by the property finder’s service delivered by Jane Wood & Associates. They are very knowledgeable, responsive and proactive at the various stages of the property search and buying process.

Katya and Vincent de Graaf M&G Investments & Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs | Mar 2013

Acquiring a London base has always been our dream. Your expert help made it possible. From the first meeting through to completion, we felt we were in safe hands, not only with regards to finding the ideal property but also in terms of coordinating the conveyancing work, the surveys and the financial aspects of this transaction. Your team was always looking out for our best interest and guided us through a lengthy and complicated process. This was an excellent service.

Kate and Glen Welford Newcastle upon Tyne | Mar 2013

The search service was excellent from the first meeting to handing over the keys, your knowledge of the local area was extensive and reassuring, and gave us the confidence we lacked on our own to go ahead with the purchase. Above all we enjoyed working with you.

Dr Elena Dalpiaz Imperial College Business School & Andrea Bonini | Goldman Sachs | Feb 2013

For the second time in three years we asked you to help us with our home search. The service we received has been excellent in both cases, you found us beautiful properties. Thanks to your knowledge of the market, the agents and your negotiation skills, we managed to secure our dream-home.

Charlotte and Hugh Beevor Chairman Orchard Toys | Feb 2013

We had absolutely no idea where to start and were completely overwhelmed by the whole prospect and you just took all that pressure off us. If anyone had told us that it was possible to buy our ideal flat in London in just one day of viewings, we would not have believed it. We want you to know that three months on we are absolutely sure we made the right decision and it just wouldn’t have been possible without you. So a huge thank you for all your hard work which made buying a property so easy for us.

Katie and David Parker Frontier Economics | Feb 2013

You showed excellent knowledge of the processes, areas (including schools which was a key criterion) and agents involved, and were great at keeping us up to date. You catalysed us into getting started, and made the whole process very stress free which was great. You were also very pleasant to deal with. A huge thank you for all your efforts and help. We couldn’t be happier!

Hamish Grant Bridgepoint | Jan 2013

I was extremely impressed with the knowledge and energy that you invested in my property search. You patiently helped me to determine the best fit between my needs and market availability (i.e. not just price) then moved very quickly to find a strong shortlist. I moved into my new property exactly two months after my first meeting with you – a speed which surpassed all my expectations.

Kathryn and Bernard Murphy Tethys Petroleum | Dec 2012

Your service is excellent. In fact it all seemed very easy, which from my work experience tends to be the result of very good preparation.

Kerstin and Lars Bergman Chuck Center | Nov 2012

We received a very professional service. We very much appreciated how responsive and thorough you were. Your overall service is excellent, and so is your network of contacts.

S.P Little Dish | Nov 2012

I received great value for money – I would not have been able to find a property that I am so happy with, for the price I paid, without your help. The quality of service was excellent all round, the level of professionalism, the quality of information on each property viewed and the timely and helpful responses to all queries. Nothing ever seemed like too much trouble. I will certainly come back to see you as and when I am looking to find a new home.

Professor Hagit Borer Queen Mary University | Oct 2012

Interacting with Olivier was simply a pleasure. He was knowledgeable, amicable and extremely helpful, and his advice sound and informed. Should the occasion arise in the future, I would most certainly seek him out.

Jane and Les Wilson New Zealand | Sep 2012

Arriving from New Zealand, you took us out for the day and one of the properties you showed us was exactly what we were looking for and better presented than we could ever had imagined. Within nine weeks of first sighting the property we had moved in! You were there with us every step of the way – and we can confidently say that without your help we would never have found this flat. Value for money? Most definitely – the stress-free way to property hunt – and yes, we would recommend, without hesitation, this company to all of our friends.

Richard Wertheim London | Aug 2012

I definitely received value for money. Overall, I rate your services as excellent.

Julie and Steve Murphy Founder Frontline Systems, Australia | Aug 2012

You are a very professional organisation and you delivered value for money. We do appreciate the little extras that you have done for us immensely.

Emily Sweet and Peter Begg Bloomsbury Publishing and Jamie Oliver | Jun 2012

We’ve used your services twice now, as first-time buyers of a flat and then as a family looking for a house. Both times we’ve been massively impressed by Jane and her colleagues’ professionalism, speed and straightforwardness. Aside from getting great properties for a good price and with good sell-on value each time, what we’ve really appreciated is their relationship with the estate agents and the inside track this gives them, combined with completely impartial, jargon-free advice – we never felt we were being ‘sold to’ or that they had an agenda. A really fantastic service, and more than worth the fee.

Mariann Wenckheim 20.20 | Jun 2012

I had been looking for two years and seen 60 flats – with you it took one month to find the perfect flat. Your guidance through the sealed bid process and the endless time it took to exchange and complete reassured me and gave me the courage to make the largest and most worthwhile purchase of my life!

Twan Vollebregt CEO Traverz, Zurich | May 2012

We do feel that we received a very professional service. Your knowledge of the areas covered is excellent. The mix of properties you showed us was very good and gave us the confidence to make a decision in a short time frame.

Ian Brown Australia | Apr 2012

Your service was excellent, it could not be improved and that is why we paid you a bonus! Your knowledge of the areas was very comprehensive, we feel we definitely received value for money. Nothing was too much trouble, from initial contact, to the search, through exchange to completion. As overseas buyers we felt that we had someone local fighting our corner all the way through. It was very reassuring.

M.K Merck, Geneva | Feb 2012

Thank you so much for everything, I would 100% recommend your service or use it myself again, there is no way I would have done this without your help!

Massimo Saracchi BlueGem CP | Jan 2012

You offer an excellent service. We felt that we were handled by real professionals, with a deep knowledge of the market and areas that we were interested in. You were able to understand what we wanted and the properties you showed us absolutely met our criteria. In addition you were consistently kind, smiling and helpful.

Catherine C. Barrister | Dec 2011

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.

Tom Rowley The Economist | Oct 2011

We were very busy and hoping to find and buy a house 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.

Nicole Waibel Crescent Credit Europe | Sep 2011

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.

Gill Lord Corbridge | Sep 2011

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.

Lesley Jones RBS Plc | Aug 2011

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!

Dr William St Bartholomews Hospital | Aug 2011

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.

Professor Damien Bolton Austin Hospital, Melbourne | Jun 2011

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.

Dr James Brierley Ontario Cancer Institute | Jun 2011

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.

Ron Jones Chairman Tinopolis | Apr 2011

Marina and Logan Wright Partner Dentons | Mar 2011

You are very professional, we rate your service as excellent. We definitely received value for money.

Dr Andrea Simmons Barts and the London Children's Hospital | Feb 2011

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.

Paul Feeney CEO Quilter | Jan 2011

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.

Jeremy Wellard CEO HB Studios, Canada | Jan 2011

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.

Sarah Baker and Gordon Sanders CEO Runwood Homes plc | Jan 2011

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.

Maurine Haver President Haver Analytics, New York | Dec 2010

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.

Juliet Bray Captivate | Nov 2010

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.

Joanna and Tahnoon Pasha CEO, Cynopsis Solutions | Nov 2010

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.

Karen Caldwell (Warnes) Singapore| Nov 2010

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.

Trish and Paul Keates Ascot | Oct 2010

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.

Jim Hawker Co Founder Threepipe PR | Oct 2010

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.

Emma Moloney General Counsel, Endemol Shine | Sep 2010

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.

Bruce Shepherd Canopius Group | Aug 2010

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.

Dr Jonathan Wheeldon Academies Enterprise Trust | Jul 2010

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.

Professor Laura Mulvey Birkbeck University | Jul 2010

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.

Stephanie and Rod McIllree Chairman, Alien Metals | May 2010

Everything is perfect. Thanks so much. The apartment really meets all our needs. You have done an amazing job!

Dr Elena Dalpiaz and Andrea Bonini Imperial College Business School & Goldman Sachs | May 2010

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.

Lorraine Ball Partner, Allen and Overy | May 2010

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.

Dr Chris and Judy James Canada | Apr 2010

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.

Catrin Jefferies Cardiff | Mar 2010

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.

Juliet Bray Captivate | Dec 2009

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.

Trudie Bond London | Nov 2009

I would recommend you to anyone wanting a property.

Mark Connell NSW National Party, Australia | Nov 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!

Alexis Dormandy CEO, Oxford Science Enteprises | Sep 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.

Julia Procter Sheffield | Aug 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.

Patrick McNab JP Morgan | Jun 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.

Tim Oldridge Taylor Wessing | Apr 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.

Ruth Rawling and Olgierd Zacharewiez Cargil & RBS | Mar 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.

Jo Boswell and Dr Frank Schroeder British Airways and St George's University Hospital | Mar 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.

Colleen W South Africa | Feb 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!

Isatu Funna and Philipp von Hammerstein Managing Partner, Isar Beteiligungen | Nov 2008

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 a buying agent who is very well versed on the intricacies of building renovation.

Konstantinos Apostolatos BCG | Sep 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!

Gay and Mark Bedini CEO Fine and Rare Wines | Jun 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.

Sascha Hirsch CEO Trust Peak AG | May 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.

Dorothy & Andrew Hill Partner, Price Waterhouse Coopers | Apr 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.

Ian Richardson AXA | Jan 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.

John Oldcorn Partner, KPMG | Nov 2007

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.

Gary Bramall CMO Zoopla | Oct 2006

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!

Sue and Ken Williamson Partner, Ernst and Young | Dec 2005

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.

David Hill Price Waterhouse Coopers | May 2005

I have used buyer’s agents before and this was comfortably the best service I have received.

Nick Collier Foreign & Commonwealth Office | 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.

Duncan R Rowlinsons Solicitors | Feb 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.

Dan Barnett CEO Broadmark Asset Management | Jan 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.

Kylie & Randy Ramusack CEO, Hurdl Inc. | Nov 2004

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 buyer’s agent in London!

Karen Smyth Accenture | Apr 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 property finder’s services turned what I envisaged as months of work and giving up numerous week-ends into a day’s worth of viewings.

Servier London | Oct 2003

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

Clarisse & Dr Arnaud Lallouette CEO Servier Canada | Sep 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.

Miles A Byte Mobile | Aug 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.

Michael Lake EU Ambassador | Jun 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.

Dr Nick & Miriam Westcott British High Commissioner to Ghana | Jun 2002

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.
