Hannah Nola - TERRIBLE & UNPROFESSIONAL

Hannah Nola - Terrible, Unprofessional, Cant Do The Job! Had an appointment for 1pm today, 05/08/23. That I arranged with Hannah Nola, who might I had forgot to actually arrange the appointment which meant me calling up this morning to ensure I can still view the property at 1pm, which I was told I now had the confirmed booking timeWhen we arrived to the property, there was a queue out the door. When I asked the gentleman now allowing another group in during our booked time he said "you'll need to go to the office and speak to Hannah", who might I add was nowhere to be seen during the confirmed appointment time We went over to the office and knocked on the door, only to be met with a rude woman putting her finger up and telling us to wait. Turns out, this was the illusive Hannah; dealing with something else other than the appointment she arranged, forcing us to stand in the rainAfter waiting a period of time me and my partner decided it wasn't worth dealing with such an unprofessional organisation so we walked away When I complained; Hannah had the audacity to lie and at first attempt to say "she isn't sure what I mean, the viewing arranged today were not only for me", which doesn't explain why she wasn't there, and why we were forced to stand in the rain When I made my complaint clear, that we had an agreed time and I expected her to keep the appointment and at least be present, she attempted to blame the other visitors who were there to view the property saying it was because "they were late", however unaware to Hannah; we spoke to them and they had an appointment for 1pm as well Absolutely terrible management and process, poor attitude and frankly the attempt to lie and deflect is all the writing on the wall anyone needs AVOID AVOID AVOID

Top quality service

Aaron and Andrew and the whole team at Winkworth were/are a pleasure to work with both as a property buyer, and then as an owner. Having worked with a number of Estate Agents I am familar that it's hard for a purchaser to find and trust the agent you are dealing with, but in Winkworth's case - they were straightforward, transparent, understood the key issues, kept to what they said, and worked to ensure a smooth and successful process for everyone. If you're looking to sell, buy or rent out your property I would highly recommend Winkworth.

I had a great experience using Winkworths to rent my home. They found lovely tenants for me and negotiated a fair price. Aaron was professional, helpful, very driven, determined and understanding. I have worked in property management for 20 years and was very impressed with the service and would highly recommend.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

I called the Dartmouth Winkworth branch…

I called the Dartmouth Winkworth branch to ask about a property we are interested in. We’re cash buyers. I was polite and had some very normal (basic) questions about the property before booking a visit as we don’t live near - my husband and I are experienced in this area. I didn’t mind so much that he wasn’t much help, but I do object to his aggressive and condescending manner. He objected to questions about how long the property had been on the market and how much interest there had been, giving me dismissive, unhelpful responses. He asked if I had “ever actually bought a property before” and if I knew “anything at all” about the market. Every reasonable question I asked about the property was turned by him into a personal attack on me to suggest that I didn’t know what I was doing! I wondered if he was a complete misogynist and could hardly believe the conversation I was having. He told me to put my questions in an email and said that he had never had a conversation like that one before! Then he hung up. I suppose he might be new to being an estate agent, although he didn’t sound like that was the case - regardless, that’s no excuse! I’ve had plenty of business dealing with estate agents and asking questions and I’ve never encountered anyone so rude and patronising. If I were the person paying Winkworths to sell that property I would be very displeased.

Just a note of excellent review for Winkworth Kensal Rise/Queens Park. Andy at Winkworth was fantastic with incredible hard work, commitment, expertise, and skills at keeping us sane, that we relied on so much during our rather challenging sale process. We were massively pleased that we had chosen these guys as our agent. From the initial meeting where manager Stewart was the only person who really took the time to consider the best pricing approach and strategy (out of 11 potential agents!), and then Andy being fantastic from start to finish, knowing just when to be patient and when to push. We felt in incredibly safe hands. Sincerely, thank you.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Very impressed with Winkworth. Agents can be hard to trust, especially as a tenant. However, Fabian was most helpful, genuine and responsive. Through him we found a wonderful space and he really went out of his way to assist us (i.e. moving several appointments around to accept delivery of our bed before handover).

Professional, honest and highly knowledgeable

Winkworth were our estate agents for the purchase of a house in Norwood.Aidan was a professional, friendly and honest presence throughout this process. From the minute we walked through the door for the first viewing to when the contract got confirmed, myself and my partner felt supported, in good hands and treated with honesty which was doubly significant given that we were the buyers not the vendors.Genuinely, a stressful process was made that little bit easier for having Aidan involved in it. We couldn't recommend him highly enough. Thanks Aidan, I hope you get the sunshine holiday soon.

Outstanding service from Aaron Priscott and his team at Winkworth Kensal Green who are now renting out our flat in the area. Throughout the process they were professional, timely and dependable. With an excellent knowledge of the market and neighbourhood, they were able to get above the asking price in a very short space of time. I recommend Winkworth wholeheartedly.

Very happy w Winkworth!

Very happy w Winkworth! We had trouble selling our lovely Victorian house in a sellers' market and were stumped as to why. We were on the market during the stamp duty holiday for five and a half months with over 30 viewing and no offers, with no help from the previous agent as to why. Winkworth arrived, got the right buyers through the door, and had us under offer at an asking price we were happy with in just over a month. That's some serious magic there!Alex and Aidan were very helpful throughout the selling process and made sure communications kept flowing despite delays down the chain. We completed last week and were very pleased we switched to Winkworth! Thank you, Alex & Aidan and the CP team.

Aidan Naude is a saint!

I never thought purchasing my first property would be so stressful. It wasn't the process, it wasn't Winkworth, it was the vendor. They were so unhelpful, unresponsive and such a massive headache throughout the entire process, that I considered pulling out. However, Aidan was an absolute saint from start to finish. He professionally dealt with me and the vendor and kept everything on track as much as he could, even going above and beyond of what I'd expect an estate agent to do (late night updates, chasing all hours of the day, etc). I am so grateful to Aidan and his team for all the work they've put into this and I can't thank you all enough. I'll 100% be using this branch again.

World Class

After initially receiving excellent service from Winkworth the second step in my rental process was overseen by Aoife Quail. There was transparency, communication and professional assistance throughout the process. This process wasn't an easy one, but for someone immigrating to the UK the service can only be described as WORLD CLASS.

Buyer of property represented by agent

As a buyer of a property represented by a Winkworth agent (Helga), the experience wasn't great. To her credit, Helga was quick to jump on the phone to speak. However, she also seemed to be a step behind the rest of the parties involved (sellers, buyers, and the two parties' respective solicitors), often needing us to update her on the latest with the process, rather than her liaising with the sellers or the solicitors directly and being a step ahead. Predictably, this caused massive stress and almost cost us the house in the last stages of the purchasing process. Worst of all, when asked to confirm things on the sellers' behalf, it seemed almost like she just said yes without actually checking with them, and then had to renege on her 'confirmation' days later. It's unclear whether this was a strategy to get the seller into a more favorable position (understandable, as the seller is her client), or general lack of communication on her part, but it certainly came off as unprofessional and made for a less pleasant buying experience than it could have been.

Absolutely first class - recommend without reservation

Absolutely first class. James Wilkinson was superb. Deep market knowledge, helped us achieve a great price on our property, provided great advice on what changes were/ were not worth making, great communication throughout and superb instincts around how we should proceed in difficult situations.

We have just sold and bought through the Kensal Rise office. Overall we had a great experience, we were trying to complete before the stamp duty relief, which became quite tight, however Gurdeep couldn't have worked harder on our behalf to get things done on time. He went above and beyond and was very nice to deal with... Having used a few estate aagents in the past, Gurdeep has been by far the best. Along with Stuart being very helpful through the process.

I had an excellent experience with Fabian Batchelor from Winkworth Kensal Rise. He was extremely attentive, supportive, and genuinely went above and beyond to help us find the right property. Even though we didn’t end up signing a contract, his professionalism and dedication truly stood out. Thank you, Fabian, for all your effort and kindness!

Aaron and the team

I have been using Winkworth as a letting agent for over 10 years and their expertise and knowledge is second to none. Aaron and the team at Winkworth are so reliable, friendly & brilliant that I would recommend them whole-heartedly. They know the dynamics of the market well, don't artificially inflate prices to draw you in but instead succeed in gaining the rents and valuations they suggest. This is rare to find and so look no further!

Excellent Lettings agency

Excellent Lettings agency. From start to finish. Great customer service: easy to access and professional staff. Aaron as head of Lettings in Kensal Rise is extremely dynamic. He engages with the landlord from the start of the Lettings process to the end. He ensures the property is in a good condition and is ready for rent; he gives help and advice on how to improve things. He’s in touch on a weekly basis to feedback on how things are going and what viewers are reporting. Also very proactive managing the tenancy. I’m really very pleased and awed by the enthusiasm

Toxic black mould not dealt with

Unfortunately I have had a bad experience as a tenant for nearly 3 years. There is a terrible case of toxic black mould in the property which has impacted my health and my children’s health. They have been reluctant to do anything about it- giving me advise such as “open the windows” and “keep the house at a constant temperature” it’s not acceptable considering they have a duty to provide safe living conditions, which they aren’t doing.

Fantastic experience!

Really pleased with Tom's service as a newbie first time buyer like me. He has been professional, efficient and very accommodating throughout the process. Viewing booked same day of initiation call, offer accepted within two hours of viewing, memorandum of sale 24 hours after acceptance of offer and 3 further viewings organised/ accommodated between offer acceptance and completion with no hesitancy even though he had a broken collar bone. Special mention to Esta too who went out of her way to keep the process moving and completed well within the stamp duty relief deadline! Thank you Tom and Esta, I'll definitely be recommending your services to my friends and family!
