The worst estate agents I've ever rented from

EDIT: Winkworth have asked me to say the branch this took place at, but at one point the managing director used some aggressive tactics to shut us up, and to be honest I want to remain anonymous to Winkworth as they still have my contact details.--I had a terrible experience with Winkworth when I was renting with them. No matter who it was you were speaking to, you were treated like dirt and felt like the lowest priority. Here are some of the things that happened...I moved in whilst the flat was on a rolling tenancy, so when a new flatmate moved in, the inventory wasn't updated and the flat was never checked for cleanliness when a tenant left. I don't know how standard practice this was, but when we all decided to terminate the tenancy, whoever was carrying out the checkout inspection was looking at photos of a completely different flat - different furniture, different carpets. We successfully appealed when they tried to take some of our deposit.One day, I had a knock on the door and it was some painter decorators who had been booked to decorate all our bedrooms. We didn't receive any notice of this, and had to live in our flat with the paint fumes for the next two days.I lived with two other flatmates, and one of them became very violent and aggressive to us. We suddenly felt very unsafe. The police weren't able to do anything, so we went to Winkworth asking for help, and they just said we'd have to sort it out between the three of us. I'm not sure what the practice is around this, but to just brush us off without even being empathetic to our situation was very upsetting. I asked them if they would only step in once we were in bodybags...!There were many other things that happened during my time with them. I wanted to write about some of my experiences over the years I rented with them to make people aware that they really live up to the typical estate agent stereotypes.

Very good experience renting our property via Winkworth in Kensal Rise

From start to end of tenancy Winkworth's in Kensal Rise were a pleasure to deal with. Tenants were found quickly and easily, any issues during the rental period were dealt with immediately by the Michael who manages the properties and communication between all parties was great. Absolutely no complaints with their service at all. Having had a bad experience when working with another local estate it was great to move to this team who were very responsive, dealt with issues straight away and made sure tenant and landlord were all kept happy! thank you

Thank you, Faraz & Alex. Best agency!

I have used Winkworth twice, when I first bought my property almost 20 years ago and now when I sold it. They are above any estate agency's level in terms of honesty, professionalism and dedication.In particular, a big thanks to Faraz who worked so hard on the sale of my house and went the extra mile to keep the deal alive even in the hardest and deflating moments. I highly recommend them. Thanks again for the amazing work! Massively grateful! Imma

Excellent Experience

We had a pleasure to work with Winkworth and particulary with James Wilkinson. We can not be thankful enough to James for being always there for us and going above and beyond to solve any questions arising along the way. We were receiving very professional and prompt advice, coordination with other stakeholders was extrmely efficient and on the highest level. We would highly recommend James as an incredible professional and a wonderful person to work with.

Highly recommend

Most of the time renting can be a nightmare. I was not looking forward to it at all, especially with how the market is but we lucked out with Fabian big time and from our first call he listened to us and found us a great flat. All the admin was done really quickly and explained really well and we moved in without any problems. I would recommend Fabian and his team if you are looking to rent in the area.

Fabian has been an absolute super star at helping us to rent out our property in Kensal Rise. He provided outstanding service throughout, made the whole process very straight forward and communicated very clearly what was required. It was a pleasure to work with him and I would recommend everyone to use Fabian, Winkworths and their great team, they were very efficient and got the job done quickly and effectively. Fabian found excellent tenants for our flat within 24 hours. Special thanks also to Aaron and Stanislava for all of their assistance and patience throughout. Highly recommend.

We had a great experience working with Winkworths. Christian was absolutely brilliant, from viewing the property - all the way to picking up the keys on completion day. As first time buyers he guided us though the buying process and made it … More

Was a pleasure working with the team here. They went above and beyond to help facilitate our sale and also tried to find us somewhere to move to. It was a tricky sale but thanks to their help we managed to get it over the line. Nicole and Jack were fantastic and I would work with them again if I need.

Not great at check out

Crap for some tenants. We’ve had nothing but drama after attempting to break the lease.

House moves are always stressful but Jack and his team were professional, calm and transparent throughout. We completely lost confidence in our initial buyer and Jack stepped up and found us a new buyer who was able to complete on schedule. We have no hesitation in recommending Jack and his team.

Complete waste of time

Complete waste of time. Was trying to rent a flat through Winkworth and was hounded by the agent for an offer. Put the offer in and turned down other flats. Over a week later was told to go look elsewhere. Highly unprofessional and wouldn't use it recommend them for renters.

An excellent service all round!

An excellent service all round!Nadine Aucamp was wonderful all the way through the sales process of my property. She was especially excellent at keeping in touch with the buyer's and other solicitors down the chain so that I was kept properly informed of the progress of my case. To be honest, I found her a lot more helpful and clued up on what was going on than the solicitors themselves!

The A.I. Slop of Estate Agents

Use AI to “enhance” images of listings. Be careful by enhance they mean completely changing the the structure and size of the home. What a waste of time.

Reece and Tim of Winkworths Woking have been amazing, I have been having problems with my solicitors on a property purchased through them. They have gone above and beyond for me and after 7 long months they have helped the situation along tremendously.

Best estate agent rental experience ever!

After speaking to multiple different Estate agents it's much of the same from everyone but Winkworth were different. Immediately I was listened to and my requirements taken into consideration. I worked with Fabian to find the home I recently moved into. He excelled. I didn't have to drag myself around unsuitable properties and he was the right balance of informative and patient. I didn't feel like I was being pushed into anything nor was I bombarded with endless emails of properties that didn't suit my requirments. It was actually a pleasant experience!

Shaun Blackstock - Best Lettings Negotiator !!

My great experience with Winkworth was 100% thanks to Shaun Blackstock. He was experienced and knowledgeable about the area, was super informed about the property and answered all of our questions and more. Additionally, he was very personable and made our experience run very smoothly. Best Letting Negotiator I have had the pleasure of interacting with.

Worst service by a mile

Oh dear, I dont even know where to start. We signed the agreement end of June to move in one month later. We stipulated several times in the email correspondences that we wanted to come in to see which furniture and items we wanted to keep and which to toss. The day of the move in happened, and we never received a response to our queries. When we moved in, we were then told that we had not specified in the contract, which items to get rid of (we specifically wrote in the contract: to be specified later, hence why we needed access to the flat prior to moving in). It was a hassle to get the woman to cooperate and she kept saying we hadn’t agreed on this (numerous emails/contract was not enough proof, but I doubt the lady had a law degree specialising in contract law or even just a functioning brain). Ah well!!! After several unpleasant calls, we finally managed to get approval of moving the items and have the larger items removed by a company. But boy oh boy that was a struggle. After having moved in properly a vast majority of the things listed in the contract hadn’t been fixed ie. Heating was broke, cabinets broken, extractor fan broken, windows dirty etc etc. And we even had to throw out 6 large boxes of CRAP, which the agency said was at our expense. Items included: old shoes, belts, broken kitchen units, bondage kit (WOOOOH.. What a surprise), filthy storage room with empty shoe boxes, broken fans, blood stained linen, dirty old pillows and blankets and numerous other fairly disgusting items. We have now asked quite a few times, when we can expect to have fans, toilet flush, extractor fan, broken cabinets, heating etc fixed and we are still awaiting a reply to this. It has been 7 business days since we moved in, so I do hope it gets sorted soon. All in all, TERRIBLE SERVICE!! I wouldn’t recommend.

I am very deeply disappointed!

We've been with the agency since 2017th. We've been having problems with the very old boiler since the end of 2018th and up until now we have had Engineers coming for that boiler around 20 times. We were promised a permanent solution, that never happened. Now we have been left without hot water for 2 weeks, starting 3rd. There were many apologies and promises over the last two weeks but no action upon. Not to say they are well aware we have a vulnerable child at home (how do you manage personal hygiene in times of pandemic with a heart diseased child at home?) AND we offered to help if Landlord doesn't want to invest in resolving the issue. Just a note: Landlord is local home owner and is not paying mortgage on the property we rent, the house used to belong to grand parents.Although there are some very kind people working in the company the company on overall isn't what it should be.I am very deeply disappointed!One upset mum xx

Very positive experience

Very positive experience - John and Guy were both very helpful throughout the process. They were regularly checking in with me and the seller if things are on track and were answering my questions. I was part of the chain, the sale process involved multiple parties and they brought it to a successful end despite few challenges on the way. I highly recommend.

Excellent service from Thomas!

I recently purchased a flat through Winkworth - Thomas was my estate agent and was fantastic throughout. It ended up being quite a long process and Thomas was great at chasing up the solicitors and helping to move the purchase along. He gave great recommendations for a homebuying survey and was really helpful on both viewings - would highly recommend. Thank you Thomas!

We have been dealing with Nicole Neumann in the sales team for several months now and she is an absolute pleasure to work with. She is always ready to help, knows the property market well and is honest and transparent. She is also very good at presenting her arguments without making the customer feel under any kind of pressure. I think Winkworth is very lucky to have such an amazing professional in their payroll...:-)
