Last-Minute Viewing Cancellation

We traveled almost 2 hours for a booked house viewing, only to have it canceled last minute. This lack of coordination raises doubts about the agency's reliability. Agents should excel at arranging viewings, and this experience fell short of expectations. Hope for improved communication and better service in the future.

Just moved into our first purchased house! From the first viewing to the completion day Andrew was amazing. Was great at getting us answers from the buyers, was efficient with communication and generally giving advice about buying your first home.

Typical response from a company when…

Typical response from a company when you have received poor service. Why would I want to contact their office after receiving a call from 'George' who basically tried to lie his way out of the situation. Exactly how do they think they can resolve the situation - the property has now been sold! I also need to mention that in the phone call received after my original post he stated ' I had to inform the vendor that you are in a chain of 9' - this is why the vendor decided to go with someone else - this is a blatant lie as I checked with our agent who provided me of details of our chain which consist of 5!! So not only did he lie to the vendor but also by not allowing the final bids by 10am next day (his idea!!) he deprived the vendor of the 5k offer we were going to make over the maximum stated price because the place was worth it - thats just us what about the other bidders - who knows what they could have offered given the level of interest in this property (which in itself questions their ability to accurately price the property) - given that they had had 10 viewings in two days and the vendors asked that no more viewing be permitted as they wanted to make a decision. My own estate agent was appalled at the service we had received as he considered it completely unprofessional - but then this is a franchise operation - no different than dealing with Mc Donalds!! I'm done with this now!

Appalling unprofessional service from…

Appalling unprofessional service from Poringland branch. Saw a property that was priced with a guide price. Liked the property so offered full asking price only to be told that there were another 4 viewings that day and that an offer had been made but all offers were to be put to the buyer by 10am following day when a decision would be made. Agent insisted he would call to get our final offer at 9.45 and that reading between the lines they were basically playing all buyers to see if they could up the price!. Gave us personal email to contact him if we had any queries regarding the property that we wanted answered before 10am final bid cut off - sent email - NOT EVEN BEEN READ! - N0 CALL!! at 9.45 waited until 11am asked for agent only to be told he was not even in the office!! 10 minutes later get a call from the office (not the agent we had dealt with but someone else) only to be told that the house had gone to another buyer - didn't seem to understand why we were so angry at not being told anything or even receiving the call for final offer. Doubt if we would even have received a call or got any information if we hadn't had chased them. Absolutely appalling unprofessional service by amatures - wouldn't touch them with a barge pole.

One of the worst agency… DONT WASTE YOUR TIME.

I would say one of the worst agency that I worked with. Exteremly unprofessional. They don't even call you back until you called them many times. I have seen a flat with them and I was the first one that seen the flat. I was there after 2 hours they post on rightmove. (This is what they said to me) I have seen flat 2 times and happy to pay deposit straight away. They told me that they will let me know after checking with lanlord. By the way his name was Lewis. He didn't even bother to call me that flat is gone because they have another offer accepted. Very unprofessional. I wouldn't suggest anyone this agency. Don't waste your time.

Unprofessional and disengaged

I bought a flat with Winkworth and decided to try to sell my property through them a few months ago. They seemed quite engaged, up to the stage where I actually signed the sole agent agreement. The timelines they gave me for listing it were not met and clearly just a lie. The one paragraph description of the flat they wrote was laughable - it didn't in any way describe my flat (highlighting aspects such as hard wood flooring and Nest which I do NOT have) and was full of typos - clearly something pulled together in less than 5 minutes. The initial brochure included only pictures of the living room until I called this out. Once on the market, there was basically no interaction at all, no feedback on any viewing, nothing at all. I asked them to remove the listing 2 weeks ago and even that seems like an unmanageable task. I'm waiting until the agreement expires to re-list with someone more professional.

great value

We had a difficult sale mostly due to difficult solicitors but Guy and team went over and beyond to make it happen. Couldn't recommend enough. Happy we didn't go for an online broker as sale would surely have fallen through. Fair pricing. thanks.

Olly was absolutely brilliant in helping me secure a flat I wanted to rent. He went above and beyond what I expected in terms of keeping in contact and keeping me updated over the Christmas break to enable me to move in quickly and smoothly. Responsive and professional. Thanks so much I am now thoroughly enjoying my new home.

Utter jokers

Utter jokers. They made it so difficult for me when mentioning I wanted to view some properties near Victoria train station. An Indian guy in his early '40s asked me to come to their office, after asking all the irrelevant questions on the planet then showed me a rubbish council flat. I was feeling a bit sick from his car fumes and asked if we could meet at the next property while I was walking. I have never seen him ever since: he simply disappeared and did not even answer the phone. I was too embarrassed to call the office and complain. I gave up on this company, they are just bullies asking to pay for just about everything while they laugh all the way to the bank thinking if you are a single woman with an 'exotic' accent you must be having a low IQ too. Bunch of jokers to be avoided.

Winkworth leigh on sea

Winkworth leigh on sea. A bunch of liars and con artists. We rented a flat and asked for a break down of the fees we had to pay and also for the landlords details which were missing. The staff nodded and smiled and yes we will get those for you as we signed the contract and got our keys. 5 minutes later when we asked for them again they said we couldn't have them. Blatantly lied to pur faces. They take so long to respond to problems with the flat and didnt fix the big issues. The place obviously had mould which had been painted over as it appeared after a few weeks of moving but lied when asked about it and later said they think it might have had in the past but they were unaware. They also turn up well over half hour later to an appointment they made to inspect the property upon leaving. Their store was a 8 minute walk to the flat and when we called to see where the agent was, she hadn't left yet despite being 20 mins late already. Avoid these useless people at all costs.It's funny how a company only wants to help you after you leave them an honest bad review. I'm not wasting anymore time responding to such an awful company.

Thoroughly disappointed with Winkworth , Brook Green W14 .

Extremely unreliable and unprofessional . I was advised to market my property with Winkworth , Brook Green , Shepherds Bush Road. The owner , Ben, came to value my apartment on Wednesday 7th , he was enthusiastic about getting it on the market next Monday. He confirmed all details discussed in person on an email on 8th , I called in the morning on 9th to reconfirm I was very happy for them to proceed and I then got a call from the photographer who booked in for today 10th at 09.00 am but after 20 minutes he sent me a text saying that he had a double booking and did not offer another option. I tried all day yesterday 9th to find out what had happened and only today at nearly 02.00 pm I got Ben’s email saying that he could not market my property as the situation would not allow him to satisfy my needs. I wasted 3 precious days and think it is outrageous that someone thought to be an established professional, can actually behave like this. Unexpectedly disappointing.

Linda, Winkworth, Poringland

My contact with,Winkworth Poringland, is Linda Jackson. Linda always is professional in her work, giving confidence that I have chosen the right letting agents. She also gives clear and patient instructions with any queries I may have concerning my rental property.

greedy agency (dont be fooled by them)

greedy agency not believing in someone when they tell them they have 10 years of tenancy in a house, all they want is someone to make a lawyer, doctor or someone working in the house of Parliament salary to rent a property from them, absolutely a disgrace of an estate agent company.

Winkworth Sunningdale

Jenny Wintermeyer from Winkworth Sunningdale was our agent to find a new tenant for our annex and she has been a pleasure to work with. She has been helpful, informative and pleasant from beginning to end of the process. In particular, I lipread and Jenny immediately coped with my personal communication needs which was very much appreciated.
