About Me

I am Peter Greenwood, founder and driving force at Greenwoods Residential a truly independent agency. I’m passionate about property and extremely focused on attention to detail – especially when your property dream is involved.

My background? 37 Year’s in the Royal Navy working my way up through the ranks and finally retiring as a Commander. Having spent such a long and varied career in such a large organisation, I decided on leaving the RN to become self-employed and for the past 8 years I have steadily built Greenwoods Residential. I have a real passion for property having bought my first home in 1984 and becoming a buy-to-let landlord myself since 1997, I have gained a lot of experience along the way which I apply to all facets of my business. I am very much a hands-on manager and rarely switch off. I am always available on my mobile and I monitor my emails regularly to ensure that I am completely up to date on the sales, lettings and property management aspects of the business. I lead from the front on all tasks and I thoroughly enjoy meeting applicants, landlords and Vendors for viewings or valuations, and I ensure that I personally inspect each of our managed properties at least annually to check for myself before reporting back to the landlord. Above all, making sure that you are kept fully informed about your property and that we are providing the exceptional service that you deserve.

my expertise in the industry

I started my own Estate Agency 8 years ago and have steadily built up Greenwoods Residential sales and lettings over the years. I have a real passion for property having bought my first home in 1984 and becoming a buy-to-let landlord myself since 1997 and I now have a small portfolio of my own rental properties. I was trained initially by the lettings training centre and the wonderful Susie Crolla who is also CEO of Guild of Letting & Management. I am a member or Property Mark, NAEA and TPOS.

Having read this with interest and amazement that an agent would try doing such a thing after the Tenant Fee Ban came became law on 1 June 2019 I went to google and just typed Flintons in, and look what the first thing that came up in the search.... Flintons expelled from The Property Ombudsman and goes into liquidation Published on Thursday, 30 April 2020. Posted in Press Releases Buyers, sellers, tenants and landlords in East London (E3) are being warned that a local estate and letting agent, Flat Sharing Ltd (trading as Flintons and previously operating as Citiside Properties Ltd), has been expelled from The Property Ombudsman and is now in liquidation. A complaint was made by a tenant to The Property Ombudsman concerning the return of his security deposit, totaling £802.56. The tenant vacated the property on 11 June 2019, and on 24 July 2019 Flintons confirmed the deposit would be returned within 10 days. However, the tenant’s deposit was not returned until 24 October 2019. Although the incident above was dealt with by TPO resulting in Flintons being expelled from TPOS. How can they still be trading or how can a director of the company just rebrand and start trading again? If the new allegations are correct and there is plenty of evidence in this article, then they are in clear breach of the Tenancy Fee Ban and as such local authorities or trading standards should be investigating these allegations, and they can bring pretty eye-watering fines of £5000, first offense and then £10,000 second and so on, so this will stop them doing this practice very quickly! What I don't understand though is how are they allowed to still trade if they have been expelled from TPOS, then surely this should be enough to stop them ever working in the industry again. Rogue agents are really harming our industry, there such a small percentage but they get all the headlines and then the remainder of the industry gets tarnished by them. Some one in a position of authority needs to jump on this and sort it out please!!
