Belligerent, argumentative, unprofessional, rude

Belligerent, argumentative, unprofessional, rude...I called to invite Winkworth Ladbroke Grove to my house, with a view to asking them to sell it. I spoke with the franchisee who kept interjecting when I tried to speak, refused to answer a question preferring to justify the 'fee' arrangement by referencing the status quo, and who was unwilling to offer me their best percentage prior to coming into my house. Clearly politeness and professionalism isn't part of the service offered by Winkworth Ladbroke Grove and they continue to reinforce the poor reputation enjoyed by the industry as a whole.Quite why Estate Agents feel they can base their business model on an egregious percentage of the value of your home is beyond my ken, and is an outdated, outmoded and foreign principle I am unwilling to work with.

Extremely competent and professional from the first call. James was always there for us, answering every question or doubt we had through the entire process. I would recommend him personally, and would return to him for future property rental requirements.

The Best Service You Can Ask For

Jenny Wintermeyer is an asset to this company. I have dealt with her before, and she has proved again that she says what she does, and then she does what she says. Good, honest service, and much appreciated.

Smooth, quick and communicative

Ursula Doyle helped me sort out a leak in my ceiling in the best ways possible. She was quick and communicative, took action right away and sorted everything out smoothly. Very impressed and satisfied with the whole process.

Good job Winkworth and team!!

I have been with Winkworth for quite a while now. I found their service to be excellent and they are very professional and extremely helpful. My tenant left during the pandemic, and i was starting to worry as i don’t live where my property is located. One of their agents called Nishi, helped me throughout the whole process of hunting new tenants to all other agreement related issues. I am extremely grateful and thank wholeheartedly to all the agents who have helped me finding a new tenant promptly and efficiently go through my tenancy contract. Highly recommended!

Renters and landlords beware

I'm really disappointed by the quality of service provided and the manner in which we have been treated by Winkworth over the last year.

We found everyone we dealt with at Winkworth to be highly professional, friendly and communicative. We would definitely recommend their service to anyone looking to sell. They worked hard to get the best possible price for our property and were happy to give us advice along the way. We never had to wait more than an hour or so for someone to respond to us whenever we contacted them. Thanks very much to the whole team for all your hard work.

Winkworth Plc agency - The worst agency ever

We were tenants on one of the properties they managed at Winkworth Bow Estate Agents.First, they are difficult to come and fix any house issues. They just want you to pay, and they would do their minimum or even less to manage the property.Second, we have left the property long ago, we left it in a rather good condition, for a over 4 years tenancy, and they want to keep all the deposit. It has been over a month and we are still waiting for our deposit.They are not coming back to us, they are ignoring our emails, they are just a bad agency.I have lived in many places with okay agencies, but Winkworth would be the worst. I would not recommend anyone to rent a property with them.Please if you are reading this before renting, find another agency you will not regret it.

Completed quickly

It's a difficult time in the market, but Thomas Syms gave us good advice on how to navigate it.The team was good with communication and gave us regular updates on WhatsApp.We completed seven weeks after the initial offer.

Winkworth (Kirstie Barber) will lie to get your business.

AVOID Winkworth estate agents (KIRSTIE BARBER). Kirstie will give you all false info to get you to make an offer and will lie about the property’s history. She will lie and when caught red handed, will lie to you again to cover her first lie. Pure shameless or just another estate agent! Do not use Winkworth as it a very dishonest business that you will keep on chasing to get some answers and will end up wasting your time & money. Just poor customer service & liars.

Winkworth

Winkworth, Poringland. We called them on Friday about the property to rent minutes after it went on Rightmove. They do not offer virtual viewings even if you live 200 miles away. Agent said they are only taking details to schedule offline appointments, took our details. On Monday they said viewings arranged for Thursday but it's all fully booked already (how?) and they will see when to book us for other day. When asked to film a short video when they will be at the property to understand if it's worth a 200 mile trip - they said they can't do this.Absolutely ridiculous service!

Awful experience

I am a small landlord and made the huge mistake of renting my houses through Winkworths and regretted it ever since. The current dispute I am having is over the deposit and who they represent. In practice, they seem to think it is the tenant.....

Superb service

They were pleasant and professional throughout and the only agency I’ve ever dealt with who stayed engaged and connected through the whole process. Really appreciated all their service.

Fantastic handling of sale

After just completing on a sale, I can say that Winkworth (specifically Dhruv Rupapara) were a lifeline during the process. Dhruv guided me through every step of the process with patience and excellent knowledge. I would highly recommend both him and the company.

The Representative from Winkworth…

The Representative from Winkworth replied with a very short response.However, the students have yet to have the student holding deposit returned, the agent has not had the decency to indicate how long they have to wait to have the money returned as they both have to look for new accommodation when university starts soon.My student son will now have to travel from a different location to start the transferred job in Fulham, thanks to the Agent from Winkworth situated on Fulham High Street.

Winkworth Guildford - Avoid

Avoid at all cost dealing with Winkworth Guildford now changed tier name to Guildford Estate Agents.There are many irregularities with the way they carry out their business. They are the smallest estate agent in Guildford and usually under staffed, service is very poor, they have every excuse under the sun and they repeatedly let you down or try to take advantage. The owner James Quantrell talks a good show and comes across professional, do not be fooled by his persona or offer of lower fees, they will let you down.

Nishi is very helpful, always informing me of new houses which come available. Her service is generally world class and the rest of the team are the same.

Very rude woman who I spoke with in Property management team who they look after Paddington and WestEnd. she just hanged the phone on me when I was enquiring about how to link as an Elecctrical company with them. I then called back within 30 second and a male member of the same team told me that she is busy and cant talk to someone. very disappointed with winkworth and I am sure that this is how you deal with your customers too! would have given 0 star if I could.

Sloppy and eye off the ball. Had their day!…

Do not monitor their contractors so charges far too high and repeat visits for boiler over 1 year costing me £1,300 and there was no issue with boiler miraculously when I refused more visits. Watch out for wording and terms on short term tennancy contracts. The list goes on and on! Now looking for new management agency. This estate agent has forgotten who they work for. Would advise to give them a big miss.
