I would like to thank James for his outstanding help and support during the process of purchasing the property. 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

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 had a good experience working with Winkworth. I personally recommend working with Haydar. I had an issue that they went the extra mile to help me with. This made moving countries less stressful and trust that they helped me find amazing tenants.

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.

Winkworth Hackney have been a breeze to work with. So fast and efficient and genuinely lovely. We had Ramani Salui help us secure our rental property. He was so incredibly flexible and went above and beyond with helping us secure our dream …

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.

From the very first call with Saylan, completing docs with Yazmin, through to the ongoing interaction with Lucien, it's been a pleasure to deal with Winkworth Hackney. Special thanks to Lucien for being hands on throughout. Having experienced estate agents on other sales, Lucien's tenacity and willingness to get involved is unparalleled and invaluable!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

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!

Excellent service from Tobi Olayiwole regarding long and complicated sale of my flat. Karolina Dolega was outstanding in battling hard hard on my behalf with horrendous problems with builders, Gaughan Ltd. Thank you both.

Lucien Carey and the Winkworth Team provided an excellent service especially during the hectic time in March before the changes to Stamp Duty. Thanks to Lucien and my Solicitor completion occurred before the end of March. Prior to this Lucien took the time to find the right property that matched my wish list perfectly.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

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.

We had a positive experience letting and subsequently selling our flat with Winkworth's. We dealt with Saylan, Lucien and Tobi during the sale and found them friendly, responsive and helpful. We especially appreciated their knowledge of the local housing market and their expertise and advice about selling a shared ownership property.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value
