I've been working with JT for 20 years as seller, buyer and landlord. There is no need to look elsewhere - since the team is very stable and a pleasure to deal with, they have become more like trusted advisers. When there is an issue, Daphne does thorough research, presents a recommendation and explains why. I use this as an example of how to treat all clients!
Sam – Vendor & Landlord, Amner Road
John Thorogood have been so helpful in our move - Daphne has been amazing and has gone above and beyond to help us. Thank you very much
Olivia – Tenant, Kelmscott Road
We instructed Austin and team on our recent purchase and sale and have been exceptionally pleased with the service and ongoing support we received from end to end. The team have been proactive, knowledgeable, communicative and very effective in brokering an agreement whilst advising on the market. Buying and selling a house is exceptionally stressful and JT really did help smooth the process. Thank you!
Swapna – Vendor, Bennerley Road
We found Austin Thorogood to be very knowledgeable and straight talking. He handled a challenging situation (selling under POA) with much care and balance. He provided good considered advice through the whole process in terms of preparing the house and through the viewings, offers and up to exchange of contract.
Sophy – Vendor, Eland Road
Had a great experience purchasing a property through John Thorogood. Austin and Daphne were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable throughout the process and clearly care a lot about the service they provide. I would highly recommend.
Harriet – Buyer, Chatham Road
Austin and Daphne sold our 5 bedroom house in Wandsworth in October 2025. They helped us at every step throughout the very stressful process. We felt thoroughly supported and in very safe and professional hands . Their communication was excellent and we managed to sell and complete in 5 months . They really know the area and the market and highly recommend them if you are considering buying or selling in the local area .
Penny – Vendor, Gayville Road
I would like to say a huge thank you for your amazing help in finding me a tenant in such a short time. We are so lucky to have an estate agency like Thorogood’s in the Northcote Road that gives such a personal service.
Jacqueline – Landlord, Honeywell Road
Daphne did a great job for us helping us through a transaction that became rather complicated. She was always contactable and very professional highly recommended.
Darren – Vendor, Clavering Place
We bought our house in Honeywell Road through John Thorogood in 1994 and had little hesitation in entrusting them with its sale nearly 30 years later. What sets them apart is their unique local knowledge and experience, their reliability and professionalism, and their exceptional level of client service and care (always with a personal touch). Daphne, Austin and Nina are fantastic people to deal with and were unfailingly supportive and responsive through what turned out to be a protracted and difficult transaction. Daphne in particular, who had main responsibility for handling the sale, was proactive, reassuring, pragmatic and good-humoured throughout the whole process. We would warmly recommend John Thorogood to both prospective sellers and buyers.
Richard – Vendor, Honeywell Road
Having sold our previous house with John Thorogood back in 1999 we went back to Austin and his team in 2023 to sell our current house after 24 years. We knew we would be in safe hands again.
This estate agency is run in an honest , professional way. Austin, Daphne and Nina are super efficient, helpful, genuine and their excellent communication keeps everyone updated at each step of the process. I whole heartedly recommend John Thorogood and just hope they are still going strong in another 20 years in case we want to sell our new house !
Kate – Vendor, Englewood Road
Thank you for all your help on this. This is a fantastic result in a tough market. We achieved what you said we would. My family are delighted with the outcome and I appreciate the extra work Daphne did on dealing with the removal of items at the end.
Jeremy – Vendor, Devereux Road
We highly recommend John Thorogood. Austin helped us with the the purchase of our dream house and skilfully guided us through the negotiating and purchase process. Austin always gave us valuable advice and is clearly very experienced. His team is very professional and helpful. All in all, we are very happy with the result!
Lena – Buyer, Darley Road
I cannot recommend John Thorogood, and Daphne there in particular, highly enough. We chose them to sell my late sister’s house because the photos and descriptions were so much better than the usual agent guff. Their words about a house are warm and engaging, and bring it to life as a home, not a property. Austin’s valuation we felt was spot on. At no point did he try to wow us with an overblown figure - just offered straight, clear advice backed up with evidence. I’ve never been moved to write a review for an estate agent before, and having provided marketing services to estate agents over 20 years, I can honestly say John Thorogood are both thorough, good and thoroughly good!
Charlie – Vendor, Wakehurst Road
I have dealt with John Thorogood both as seller and buyer over a 15 year period and always found then very helpful and professional. My last purchase was in February this year and this was very straightforward and well handled by the team. Would definitely use again.
Andrew – Buyer, Webbs Road
We decided to use John Thorogood as they are known and trusted in SW11, and as sole agent they found our buyer very quickly. They handled a long sale process efficiently and with good humour. I would definitely use them again should the need arise.
Alexandar – Vendor, Chatham Road
The surest sign of confidence in an estate agent must be finding him dependable and transparent when he represents another vendor selling to you! Having bought our Clapham home via John Thorogood in 2012, we found Austin to be informed and easygoing in addition to the admirable traits above, so we turned to him when we wanted to sell the same property in 2021.
Dan – Vendor, Clapham Common West Side
We bought through John Thorogood and had a very positive experience. Responsive and helpful throughout and continued to be helpful after the purchase was completed. Would certainly recommend.
Matthew – Buyer, Clapham Common West Side
We were very satisfied with all the staff at John Thorogood. They were very knowledgeable about the market, responsive, polite and very efficient and professional. I would highly recommend them.
Linda – Vendor, Canford Road
We have had great experiences with John Thorogood. We worked with them both as buyers and as sellers and can say on both sides they were great. They knew the market and were able to negotiate good prices on both sides. I would highly recommend them.
Taylor – Vendor, Alderbrook Road
We were really impressed with Austin from the start. He was the only person we met who we felt really understood our house and how best to sell it at a realistic but ambitious price (given the area and its condition). After one meeting with Austin and a few calls, we felt like we’d be in very safe hands. And we were. The whole team was brilliant and prompt; the marketing of the property was first class and turned around very quickly so we could get onto the market.
Rhiannon – Vendor, Grandison Road
Austin and his team know the market extremely well and quickly identified a purchaser, were efficient in execution, highly communicative and achieved a great result in line with his initial estimate. We could not have asked for more.
Dan – Vendor, Clapham Common West Side
We moved our property from another estate agent as we had not received an offer. John Thorogood were proactive and professional and at the end of 4 months we had received 4 offers and a sale.
Jean-Pierre – Vendor, Manchuria Road
Austin and his team were extremely professional. They know their market exceptionally well and are able to pitch a price right, so it is a fair deal for both Buyers and Sellers. Be wary about using some estate agents who are too greedy - your house will hang around and then may need to be reduced by more than if it was pitched right in the first place.
Ben – Vendor, Grandison Road
Austin was excellent throughout the entire process of our house purchase. Very responsive and professional. The whole process felt smooth and stress-free. I would highly recommend John Thorogood for both buyers and sellers
Andre – Buyer, Montholme Road
They know the area backwards, unlike staff shovelled into bigger agencies' branches in the area. Good liaison with vendor smoothed inevitable bumps in the long road that is house purchase in London
M&P De Renzy-Martin – Buyer, Kelmscott Road
After only 3 days of viewings, we had multiple bids which Austin and Daphne negotiated well for us and Austin again advised us on selecting the best buyer, as there are more factors to consider than just price offered. Experienced and integrity are two words I’d use to describe Austin and his company. All in all, 100 times more straight forward than we ever thought it would be and changed my views on estate agents!
Rhiannon – Vendor, Grandison Road
Austin and the rest of the team at John Thorogood were a pleasure to work with for our house sale: efficient, responsive, and professional from start to finish. We would strongly recommend them.
Justine – Vendor, Kelmscott Road
Austin is the leading agent for high end properties between the commons. He has always been highly responsive and really helped push through the purchase of our new house. We are very grateful for his excellent work and his numerous recommendations post closing.
Jo – Buyer, Manchuria Road
We could not have found a more professional and friendly support, throughout the (stressful) sale process of our property. Austin and his team (a special mention to Nina for the great coordination!) are really able to offer an unrivalled combination of strengths in the area: a small and dedicated team, highly proactive and consistently transparent, with a strong Real Estate expertise and the best local market knowledge. A great and sincere thank you once again, for having helped us achieve the best possible outcome!
Olivier – Vendor, Leathwaite Road
The team at John Thorogood were very professional and extremely helpful during the sale of my aunts house. Would recommend them.
Mark – Vendor, Gorst Road
Great support from start to finish and even after exchange. Austin and his team are always ready to support/answer questions. Couldn't ask for a better mixture of personal and professional service.
Vanni – Buyer, Webbs Road
We used John Thorogood at the start of the year to find a property to rent in the Wandsworth area. Our experience was fantastic, the agent was professional, extremely responsive and knew a lot about the area. Would highly recommend using John Thorogood.
