A predatory scam. Do not use if a student or young.

AVOID WINKWORTH. I am still annoyed months after moving out. I was in a rolling contract, paid up my last month and moved out with plenty of notice - all fine. Out of the blue they then tried to hold me against a contract I never signed/didn't exist and though I agreed to pay if they could present one (said several times) they refused to present one despite hilariously agreeing at the start one could not be found. This went on for several weeks with back and forth phone calls and emails that went round in circles just pushing for me to pay a further 6 months I was never signed to. My mum's partner called in once. Said exact same thing id said. Phone call lasted 5 minutes. And they dropped it, apologised through him and he sent on the message to me that it would be dropped. I was livid. It felt not only predatory and an utter violation but it felt misogynistic on top of it. I am a Senior in my own job so understand associates have rules and policies to follow (and approached Winkworth also how I like to be approached with such complaints) but they completely made things up as they went along, changing stories over and over to try and get me to pay whilst refusing to provide a signed document to say so.Before moving in my friend told me her Winkworth experience which was very similar. I wish I had listened. This is clearly something they have done before and will probably do again in the hopes someone new to renting will just pay out. Vile.

Jenny made what could have been a very stressful situation of moving out of our home (that is being refurbished) into a rental property very straight forward; taking care of admin on our behalf and liaising with the landlord to cover all aspects of our move and so that we had what we needed when we moved in. I would definitely recommend Jenny in particular and also the Winkworth for the service that they offer.

Winkworths Barnes: Amateurish and incompetent selling agents

Amateurish and incompetent in the extreme. As sole agents during 4 months of the peak house-buying season, Winkworths Barnes failed to sell our house despite interested buyers, all other properties at similar price-point being snapped up and low stock levels. Childish communicators with zero transaction-management skills. Even after we took our house off the market and formally terminated their agency, they continued to display our house on their website marked "under offer" - when the house was not under offer, they were not our agent and we had not consented to their using a photo of our property for marketing purposes. If you are looking for ineffectual and bombastic service, this is the firm for you.

5 Stars For Fabian

I would highly recommend Fabian at Winkworth. He was great to work with, made everything so easy. Communication was fantastic. If I was to rent again I most definitely use Fabian.

Terrible neglective managment!!!! We have been renting with them for a…

We have been renting with them for a year and a half, always on time with our responsibilities, always updating the managment for any issues with the lift or anything regarding the property. We had an emergency on the 31st of December where the boiler stop working and we were left completely with no warm water and a boiler that for some reason was leaking water! We were provided with emergency contacts which we tried contacting for about 3 days before we get an answer from them refusing to come and check the boiler as they were pretty sure they could not do anything due to the lack of parts( which they didn’t even know from the phone where and what exactly was the issue). After 4 days without warm water a guy came to check and nothing was done. In less words after all managment department was informed with the emergency, as we are talking about month January, even if they send people, who never treated our situation ,with a toddler at home, as emergency, did nothing. We were left for almost a month with no warm water and with the excuse that parts and manufacturers where difficult to find, with no other option and no reasonable deduction of the monthly rent, no help and no options with a toddler the most cold weather of the year!!! And the only response was that they are trying and we can have warm water for a family of 3 by using kettles!!! The boiler was fixed temporarily but still not permanently and we are at the middle of February. The worst managment we have ever faced and now they are asking us to leave with no excuse or reason. I am not willing to deal with this agency anymore and I hope I will never have to deal with such a neglective and awfull situation where they left a family with a young child in the most cold weather of the year for a month without heated water!!! I feel ashamed and disrespected but I have to make this review in order other peiple to be aware!

I have dealt with Rod at winkworths over the years, as well as recently and know that he doesn't just get sales agreed. He most importantly gets property exchanged by working through all the inevitable hic ups that always occur and still manages to stay positive and dynamic at every stage. If you want to get a property exchanged at a good price rather than just put under offer I thoroughly reccomend Rod and Winkworths.

THANK YOU!

THANK YOU! This is hands down the best experience I have had with an Estate Agent. Shilpa was instrumental in getting the sale through before before the stamp duty break ended and walked us through every step, answering any questions we raised. Shilpa & the team made the experience an easy one and I am forever grateful for that. I will be recommending Winkworth to friends!

Paying top dollar to live in a damp and disgusting property!

Currently I am paying for a 'two' bedroom property. Unfortunately due to a severe leak I reported in 08/21 one of the two bedrooms is completely unusable due to the reoccurring leaks, and the severe damp as a result.It is now 29/10/21 almost 3 months later and the problem still has not been resolved. I reported the issue for the third time on 05/10/21 but as of 21/10/21 the Landlord seemed to think the issue was solved.In the meantime I have been paying the full rental price for a two bedroom property, yet for 3 months I will have been unable to use a significant part of the property - a younger family member now has no bedroom, yet I still have to pay for it. I have asked the landlord/agent to consider a temporary rental reduction due to the above reason however this has been flat out refused on multiple occasions.Despite many emails, phone calls, photo and video evidence I shared with Winkworth, the landlord still appeared to think the issue was solved. This tells me that Winkworth must be very selective on what information they choose to pass on to the landlord, or the landlord doesn't mind dragging on this issue for longer, and thus incurring significantly higher remediation costs.This issue was first reported in August, it is now nearly November, and the fact that it has taken this long, and the issue is still not resolved will have undoubtedly incurred additional costs to tenant (My possessions now have mould on them and I now have to find another bedroom) and landlord (Has many more remedial issues to deal with).My next step will be to report all of this, making complaints to the Property Redress Scheme and seeking legal advice.

Super Service at Winkworth Long Melford

A huge thank you to Mark Wilkins at Winkworth Long Melford. He epitomises the term "Gentleman". He was always available and nothing was too much trouble. Our house sold very quickly and Mark then worked with us to progress to completion day. I would certainly recommend Winkworth but also believe that Mark's care and attention was the key to our successful sale. Thank you Mark.

Professional from start to finish

Professional from start to finish. Shilpa was understanding of our needs and patient with my elderly parents, and caring of our home of 43 years. Shilpa kept us up to date at all times and we never felt pressured or pressurised. Nishi did most of the viewings and again courteous, punctual and understanding. Would definitely recommend and use again. Huge thank you from us all.

Happy with our experience

My partner and I are first time buyers, and we’re just about to complete on our first flat. Patrick, Alex and Nicola have overseen the whole process and we’re really happy with the way our purchase has been dealt with. We weren’t really expecting to feel grateful to our seller’s estate agents, but they have helped us navigate all the twists and turns fairly and transparently. They were also very helpful when our solicitors were being less than efficient (!) - an email to the Winkworth team was often a quick and easy way to sort out any issues. We wouldn’t hesitate to use them again (not that you have a choice as a buyer, though - if only…!).

I can highly recommend Adrian at Winkworths West End. I have been looking for a property for 18 months and Adrian is always quick to send details of new listings and organise viewings. Winkworths seem to have quality properties on its books relative to some of its competitors and Adrian is full of local knowledge, garnered from many years experience working in the area. Professional, patient and not at all pushy

For four weeks the branch staff thinks it's ok to have mice and all the associated issues running round the flat and still no date for when the people will be coming to sort out the issue, very poor. Am sure they wouldn't want this in their own homes but it's ok for people that pay their salaries

Guildford Estate agent winkworth

Guildford Estate agent winkworth. Got shown a property today with my partner and 8 month old baby today. I'm offended you would even think that a filthy student property would be suitable for mt family anyway! Was absolutely disguted that you can show property's in these conditions like that and think its acceptable (and in a pandemic you should be sanitising everything down!) When tenants leave if you think showing a dirty property with dirt and filth is acceptable it is not! Trying to sell a property to me in such disgusting conditions and thinking its okay to show people shows what type of estate agents you would have been if we were to have gone with you. Asked to be taken off the books would not recommend thank god we curved this! Will be telling everyone to avoid this estate agent. Your reviews don't look great anyway even though you deleted my Google one!

I'm waiting to hear back from Winkworth…

I'm waiting to hear back from Winkworth Kensal Rise lettings about why I'm being contacted by the utility provider to pay bills on an account I assumed was closed on my moving out. As a landlord, I pay Winkworths the 'Fully Managed Fee', a level of service for which they state they will inform the utility providers of the new tenants details. My credit rating is at risk as I have ignored emails from the utility provider on the basis that I have paid all bills before the tenant moved in. What is the point in 'informing the utility providers of your new tenants details' if the account isn't closed? I await a response. Very disappointed at what is either negligence or very misleading terms of service (if 'informing' providers achieves nothing of value to me as a client.)

Thanks to Finlay Cook for taking my sale to completion. However, it was a team effort by everyone in the Kensal Rise office. Everyone was very pro-active in marketing my property and keeping me updated on viewings and feedback. Once the sale was agreed, Finlay made sure everything went through and addressed any questions from both me and the buyer. Thank you

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.

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 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.
