Why choose Northwood as your agent?

  • paragraph

Meet the St. Albans Team

  • Introduction

    Owner & Director
    image cannot be displayed

    I set up Northwood in 2006 and have experienced many of the ups and downs that we have seen in the property market over that time. I have thoroughly enjoyed building up the business year-on-year to being one of the leading agents in this area and genuinely love dealing with many of the great clients we work with on a day-to-day basis. I generally oversee growth and development of the business and identify new opportunities that can be explored.

    On a personal front, having two young kids keeps me very busy, but I still find time to enjoy playing squash, cycling, skiing, going to the gym and supporting my football team.

      Truly excellent service from start to finish.
      Truly excellent service from start to finish. All viewings were well organised and after the first offer, Mark successfully negotiated increases on our behalf. He then worked hard to speed up the exchange/completion process. To Northwood, selling a house is not just about securing an offer - I live in Yorkshire and their help and assistance right up to completion was essential. Many, many thanks to you and the team, Mark

    Testimonials from Buyers

    • Buyer Testimonial

      wouldn't have succeeded without expert assistance 
      Very happy to have just purchased a flat through Northwood! We needed to overcome several large hurdles, and wouldn't have succeeded without the expert assistance of branch manager Mark Hyde who stepped in and saved the day for all concerned

    • Buyer Testimonial

      very professional from start to finish
      I would like to thank Callum Huntley. He was very professional from start to finish and helped me purchase my first home. Although, I was accepted for a mortgage with my bank they did not offer the mortgage on the property I wanted. However, Callum got me in touch with another mortgage broker who not only got me a mortgage, she also helped me get a better rate. All I can say is he is an asset to the company, you hear estate agency horror stories so I am very glad I worked with a professional honest individual like Callum.

    • Buyer Testimonial

      Thank you again Callum!
      Have nothing but praise for Callum at Northwood. Always responsive, flexible and accommodating. What I really appreciated is how honest he is and how patient he was with us. Great experience with buying through this estate agent. Thank you again Callum!
