I can't be more thankful to James and his exceptional professionalism, he went above and beyond to make the entire process as smooth as possible. I would like to give my highest recommendation.

Terrific sales team - Lady and Sean are brilliant

Terrific sales team. Lady was flexible and accommodating when we wanted to arrange property viewings, and her knowledge of the local area is second to none. Sean was proactive and helpful and really worked hard to move our purchase towards a swift completion. Five star service, would definitely recommend.

The Winkworth team in Kensal Rise

The Winkworth team in Kensal Rise is exceptional. Thorough, caring, professional, and relentless in finding our ideal home.By far the best team we came across and that was reflected in the quality and choice of the houses they had access to, clearly, they are trusted by many.

Winkworth is the agent you need

Kerry and Sarah were so helpful and made our process seamless. They were very understanding during obstacles and always found a way around it. They are also very proactive and the nicest agents I have ever met. The team are very responsive. They made our overall experience easy and lovely. I couldn’t thank them enough

Great experience

Aaron brings his many years of exerience to bear in an offering which a parachutist would characterise as 'good all the way'

Brilliant letting agent team

Every dealing I have had with Winkworth Kensal Rise has been superb. They are an incredibly charming and efficient team, always on hand for any queries. They are knowledgeable about the market and have always found great tenants really quickly. Wouldn't ever use anyone else.

The worst agency .

The worst agency .. I had a viewing yesterday and I went to see the flat with my wife and my 6 months old babe ,and my agent Lewis Impleton , probably he hasn’t so happy with that , he tried to avoid answer my question, very poor customers skills , he wasn’t even showing me the house , not talking at all .. probably you could see he was not interested to rent the flat to me from the first moment .. after that i told him I was happy to rent the flat and I have everything had they need .. while allAnswer was been answered next day was asking me again the same question by email . .. his email very unprofessional, he was like writing to a friend .. never mind after all that , not answering to me for 2 days , I had to email him again and after the reply of him was that the flat it’s been gone .. that all , didn’t even ask me if he can show me some other properties that are still on the market..

I am extremely disappointed with the service provided by this agency. It has now been over a month since I moved out of the property, and I have still received no clear response regarding the return of my deposit.

Great team!

Aaron, Shaun and the team at Winkworth worked to hard to find our family the perfect short term rental solution. They were responsive, helpful and genuinely cared about meeting our needs. Thanks team for making what could have been a very stressful time, as smooth and easy as possible!

Please avoid them. Reclaiming our deposit has become a lengthy and arduous process

Unfortunately, our experience with Winkworth has been so disappointing that I must give a 1-star rating, though I wish there was an option for zero stars. They have repeatedly made false statements to unfairly extract money from tenant. Even damage noted in their own move-in inventory report from last year is now being used against us to justify charges. It's disheartening to witness their prioritization of profit over fairness. When confronted, they suggest disputing through "my deposit scheme," only to further inflate fees. Our cleaning fee surged from £140 to £336, and apart from maintenance fees were hiked for pre-existing damages. Despite returning the property in better condition, we were still charged professional cleaning fees for mold, dust, and dirt present upon move-in. They even colluded with their inventory company to exploit situations for financial gain, leaving us speechless. Additionally, we graciously accommodated potential tenant viewings three times in 10 days, only to have our privacy violated as individuals freely took photos and rifled through our belongings without consent. This experience has left us profoundly disappointed and hesitant to engage with Winkworth in the future.

Worst Ever

My experience with Winkworth was a masterclass in chaos and incompetence. A real circus is even better them. Not only did they turn a blind eye to broken properties, but they also seemed to have a PhD in denial and deception. They don't even have the decency to possess basic moral standards. I bet Winkworth does not care their branding or reputation, basic thing for a business. Their idea of 'professional cleaning' was a joke - the place was dirtier than a pigsty, with mold, spiders the size of small cars, and no sign of any supposed cleaning crew. And don't even get me started on their response time - it's like they only sprang into action when I threatened to pack my bags.During checkout, they pulled out all the stops with their wild accusations, conveniently forgetting that the damages were already there when I moved in. But oh no, let's blame the tenant instead!And as if dealing with Winkworth wasn't enough, their partner in crime, ACT Property, was just as useless. It's like they were in cahoots, caring more about squeezing every penny out of me than addressing my legitimate concerns.Privacy? What privacy? They had no qualms about waltzing into my home uninvited, rearranging things like they owned the place. And to top it all off, they even decided to whip up a meal in my kitchen without so much as a 'by your leave.' They took away my letters too.Getting my deposit back was a whole saga, thanks to their fault-finding frenzy. But hey, at least I've inadvertently become their biggest promoter in my community (whatsapp, X, facebook, signal, neighbours) about Winkworth. The way word spreads, it's like a snowball effect! I am so excited!

Selling made easier

Sarah Russell was lovely to deal with and she knew what I was looking for by way of a rental. All the paper work was handled swiftly, communication was excellent, and I picked up keys as planned a few weeks ago. There are many lettings agents that have advertised properties on rightmove and then when you turn up to view the property it is nothing like the pics and in complete disarray. This was not the case with Winkworths. As I had also seen another property a few months prior. So more than happy to recommend. Also Sarah has such a friendly and professional manner.

I have just re let my apartment

I have just re let my apartment through the Kensal Rise Office who have been managing my property for 2 years. Aaron and his team were fantastic and managed a turnaround in record time resulting no loss of rental revenues. The process was extremely efficient and very re assuring. They went above and beyond my expectations. Totally recommend.

Great experience with Winkworth

We rented an apartment though Winkworth last month and the process could have not been any better. From coordinating the viewing to signing the contract and moving in, Aaron and his team have gone above and beyond. Would definitely recommend them if you are planning to rent/ buy around the area.

very rude agent and poor behaviour

One of the agents at this firm has abused a member of our team because she had taken one day's leave. He then decided to leave a review of the whole firm making serious allegations about our firm.

Highly Recommend!

As first-time landlords, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Winkworth. The whole team has been absolutely fantastic, friendly, knowledgeable, and always approachable. They’ve made the whole process smooth and stress-free, and are always happy to help, even by sharing contacts for trusted local tradesmen when needed. It’s been a pleasure working with them, and we feel in very safe hands. Highly recommend!

I rate Winkworth Kensal Rise very highly and have let my flat with the company for many years now, as I know I will be getting uncomplicated, efficient, fair and friendly service from a team of specialists. I find Director Aaron particularly helpful. They are great at finding trustworthy, respectful tenants and guiding me through the layers of paperwork.
