Winkworth Harringay reviews

★★★★★ 1/5

It has now been almost a year since my experience with Winkworth, and unfortunately they remain the worst estate agent I have dealt with. The sales progressor, Kirsty, demonstrated behaviour that I can only describe as unprofessional, dismissive, and unnecessarily pressurising, which ultimately contributed to the collapse of our purchase. While I fully appreciate that estate agents act on behalf of the seller, it was clear that the sellers themselves were also unhappy with how the transaction was handled. The situation deteriorated significantly when a new property was added to the chain a week before completion. I was entirely within my rights to decline this change, yet I was told I “had no choice” and asked whether I was “really going to pull out.” Following this, my calls were ignored, which is unacceptable in any professional context. The communication that followed - via phone, email, and WhatsApp - was equally concerning. Messages were sent at inappropriate times, including late in the evening, and the tone was often unprofessional. These attempts to persuade us to re‑enter a purchase that would now be significantly delayed, and without our agreement, were wholly inappropriate. Based on my experience, I would strongly caution sellers to consider how their buyers may be treated throughout the process. In this conveyancing hellish landscape, EAs who think they should be 'ruthless' are the ones that will lose you buyers; without buyers, there are no sales. Do not use Winkworth.

Professional, responsive, and easy to deal with from start to finish

I recently worked with John and Guy at Winkworth and had a very positive experience throughout the process. Both were professional, responsive, and easy to deal with from start to finish. Their communication was excellent, and they provided clear guidance at every stage. I would happily recommend Winkworth, and particularly John and Guy, to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and reliable estate agent.

Excellent communication and progression service instrumental in ensuring we secured our forever home

From viewing our first house, to finding our forever home, John knew exactly what we were looking for. He did a great job communicating with us and the vendors and we always knew where we stood throughout the process. The team at Winkworth work as one, as demonstrated by Guy who was the one who communicated our offer to the vendors in John’s absence. During the conveyancing process, the team excelled at liaising with all parties in the chain and Guy was instrumental in ensuring successful completion before Christmas. We would not hesitate to use Winkworth in the future, their service stood out compared to other estate agents we have dealt with.

Aaron and his team at Winkworths Kensal Rise came highly recommended so I initially approached him just to compare the rental market just for peace of mind as I was on the cusp of renewing my existing arrangement. I quickly realised I had not been enjoying his level of professionalism and was comparing "apples to pears" and quickly had a change of heart!

John and Guy were really so helpful

John and Guy were really so helpful to me as a first time buyer, organising multiple viewings for me at the flat, helping me to measure walls, answering all my many emails, chasing for updates from solicitors, and being so helpful when the solicitors went radio silent on the days leading up to exchange. Really reduced stress levels knowing that I could give them a call/email to chase things from their side.

Excellent service

Guy and John were both incredibly helpful throughout our sale and purchase process. They kept us updated and informed, made themselves available when we needed to speak and worked incredibly hard under tight timescales to get our sale and purchase over the line. They were honest and transparent with us throughout and we are very grateful for all their hard work.

A huge thanks to Toby and his team for the sale of my flat in Brighton, it was extremely stressful but Toby was always reassuring honest and very professional at all times. I bought my flat through Winkworth in 2022 and I did not hesitate in using Toby once again for the sale. Again thank you.

Dan Hosseini was so helpful in our flat buying process in Stoke Newington. We called and emailed with so many questions over the many months and he was always so happy to help and super thorough. Thank you so much Dan!

I have had the best service from the Harringay Winkworth office. They not only sold my current property, but also found me my dream house to purchase. The relationship built with my core team was incredible; Jake and Rachel stuck with us from day one until the completion, they were extremely supportive, knowledgeable and helpful throughout. The wider team: Jena, Oscar and Daniel all hosted viewings at my property and took time to get to know me and the house before showing potential buyers around - thanks so much for the care and attention you showed me. The office team; Kirsty and Masoma made the paperwork process stress free and were easy to communicate with, always making themselves available to talk things through when needed. Thanks to everyone who has been involved I would highly recommend the full team at Winkworth!!

I am a landlord in the Willesden Green area many years and would like to give a positive review of the superb service I receive from the Winkworth. The team in the Kensal Rise and Queens Park office are always extremely supportive and always on hand to provide guidance especially with the current changes in the private rental sector. This service extends to dealing with any maintenance issues, prompt statement sending and tenant changeover, so basically the whole package for a landlord. I would also like to give a name mention of my main contacts at the office, Aaron, Fabian, Stanislava, Michael and Yanick who are always so pleasant and accommodating to do business with.

We sold our last house with Winkworth’s Haringey back in 2017 and had a good experience. When it came to selling again there were far more options to choose from, online, boutique and large commercial teams. But after meeting with Head of Sales Jake Strubel, we felt there was no other option. Jake was calm, polite, and unassuming. He came prepared and knew the neighbourhood market. His estimations were realistic and genuine. We signed up, and met the rest of the team dealing with our sale Rachel Chirga, Oscar Downey & Kirsty Flanders. Every interaction after that was a joy, and on top of all this they achieved a sale price way beyond our expectations, with a fair fee structure. Make no mistake they are the absolute best in Haringey.

Avoid this agency if you value your deposit. The end-of-tenancy process was is a nightmare. They submitted a fraudulent invoice as evidence in a TDS deposit dispute. I contacted the company named on the invoice directly and they confirmed in writing they had never attended the property and the invoice number belonged to a completely different property for a job dated 7 months ago. I reported them for fraud.

Winkworth and Arrun…thank you

Winkworth were really helpful during my property search. Arrun Padda was especially responsive to support the search over a number of weeks across a wide area. Arrun was flexible with time, showed high quality property listings to me, and was prompt to help communication with landlords. This stood out to me all while he maintained a relatable yet professional manner and I really appreciated his work. If I’m searching for properties again I’d be reassured to have Arrun’s help at Winkworth.

We had a few twists and turns along the way but finally our sale did complete. The team at Haringey were fantastic all round but a special thanks first to Daniel who was always positive and enthusiastic that it would sell and he was proved right. The after sales work by Rachel and Kirsty was nothing but exceptional - their experience, knowledge and enthusiasm shone through. They all couldn’t do enough for us and we’re always available to help and guide us. Thank you all - you kept us going and remained positive throughout.

Winkworth Harringay managed the home we rented for 5 years. Throughout our tenancy they were always very responsive with any queries or issues we raised, replying to all emails within one working day. Rosie was our property manager and she consistently went above and beyond to help us out with anything we needed. She was always so friendly, and a real breath of fresh air in comparison to other property managers I have dealt with in the private rental sector. The process for getting our deposit back at the end of our tenancy was set out very clearly and all done through the DPS. I've heard about and experienced a lot of horror stories as as a renter which can make choosing a new letting agent really daunting. I'd recommend Winkworth Harringay to anyone looking to rent in the area for peace of mind that you will be listened to and respected as a tenant, giving you the chance to make a property your home.

We had an extremely positive experience working with Winkworth on the the sale of our house. Rachel was a very impressive agent - hard-working & reassuring, who came with a vision and executed it confidently. The wider team were also great to work with - Kirsty and Oscar. Very glad we went with Winkworth in the end despite having some compelling offers elsewhere.

NO ELECTRICITY FOR 3 DAYS

I am extremely disappointed with my experience renting through Winkworth. When I moved into my new flat, the agent failed to provide me with the gas card/key. I moved here from the US so I did not know that was something that I needed. As a result, my electricity was cut off for almost three days during my very first weekend in the property. I had no light, no heating, and no hot water for close to 72 hours.

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.

Avoid at any cost! I had a "pleasure" to take half a day off at work today to commute an hour to see what a SCAM this agency is. They advertised a 2 bedroom flat, which in reality turns out to be a 1 bedroom flat. On the floorplan, which I looked at before the viewing, there is a Master bedroom and Bedroom. The master bedroom however does not exist, it is a living room. There is no such thing as 2 BEDrooms. Update the floorplan, stop misleading! Their explanations are rather hilarious: landlord previously turned the living room into a bedroom back in the days. That would mean there was no such thing as a living room, trust me I saw the place just today. The kitchen would not even fit a sofa. Maybe the landlords put in there a single chair and called it a living room, but you do not have the right to advertise a place based on how someone decided to arrange it or call it. Now, current tenant decided to keep it as a living room, but I guess you guys just sticked to how someone else arranged it back in the days and sorted? If yet another tenant decides to turn the basement( there is one) into a bedroom, will you then advertise the place as a 3 bedroom flat following your logic? Cherry on the top? MOULD! Mould everywhere! How dare you advertise such places? The agent showing me the property asked if she can see it, said: oh really? I am attaching photos of the walls in the property Winkworth Harringay offered me to view today, still in disbelief.

Made me pay for postage

They sent me a letter in the mail asking to sell my property but didn’t pay the full postage. I had to pay £2 so this unknown letter could be delivered just to find out they’re trying to sell to me. When I do sell my property I won’t be going here if they aren’t competent enough to add correct postage to a letter

Lauren Douglas (Winkworth Shorditch)…

Lauren Douglas (Winkworth Shorditch) has helped me find tenants twice. On both occasions, she's found me multiple high-quality tenants very quickly. On both occasions, I've been delighted with the support she's provided. Her local knowledge and understanding of the ever-changing regulations governing the market are unequalled. I'll certainly be using Lauren Douglas again.

Deborah did a great job with the photography for our property. She was professional, efficient and very easy to work with on the day, which made the whole process straightforward. The photos came out really well and captured the house beautifully, helping it present strongly when it went live online. We really appreciated the care taken and would happily recommend Winkworth’s photography service.
