GoogleI don't often leave reviews but I cannot recommend Winkworth Harringay enough. They represented the seller of the house we bought, but it felt like they were representing us as well. Jake was there for every question at all times, responding quickly even out of hours (and we needed him A LOT). He even found someone to remove the garden house we didn't want and helped with an issue the seller wouldn't fix. If I ever sell my house they'll be my agency 100% (and Jake you deserve a raise! :)

GoogleWinkworth we’re absolutely magnificent I cannot recommend them highly enough. Their services and professionalism was second to none. Michael was a huge help right from the beginning and guided me through pretty much everything when letting out one of my properties. He was responsive when I had queries and clarified clearly through all the steps of lettings. His knowledge and expertise in his field were reassuring and refreshing, a gentleman who was honest and can be fully trusted. Kelly was brilliant in finding tenants so proficiently, she worked efficiently and was a huge help when needed. Michael and Kelly I Thankyou for everything you have done. I will be back again on my next project. Many thanks Winksworth Haringey .PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

GoogleHaving had multiple valuations on our property prior to sale, we decided to go with Winkworths, not solely due to their valuation or fee (though this was competitive), but as they were helpful with discussing how various points of the property could be marketed, and had an independently verified track record of rapidly progressed sales & high offers (from getagent.co.uk).
Rose was great at getting viewings booked in around our schedule (with a very young baby we needed them to be collated), and though we unexpectedly had to do one viewing ourselves due to miscommunication, true to our expectations we had a good offer within 3 weeks.
When we later found a property we liked, it was happily also with Winkworths, and Jake was very friendly, accommodating and helpful in dealing with our enquiries. As we were trying to purchase before the SDLT deadline in a very ambitious 3.5 weeks, I then had very regular and extensive contact with the sales progressor Debbie, who was available, friendly and efficient at helping us to complete within this very rapid turnaround time.
Overall, though it was as stressful as such an incredibly fast purchase was bound to be, we managed to get in in time, with Debbie and Jake both fielding communications into the evenings and weekends to make it happen. Can definitely recommend.PositiveProfessionalism

TrustpilotI called the Dartmouth Winkworth branch…
I called the Dartmouth Winkworth branch to ask about a property we are interested in. We’re cash buyers. I was polite and had some very normal (basic) questions about the property before booking a visit as we don’t live near - my husband and I are experienced in this area. I didn’t mind so much that he wasn’t much help, but I do object to his aggressive and condescending manner. He objected to questions about how long the property had been on the market and how much interest there had been, giving me dismissive, unhelpful responses. He asked if I had “ever actually bought a property before” and if I knew “anything at all” about the market. Every reasonable question I asked about the property was turned by him into a personal attack on me to suggest that I didn’t know what I was doing! I wondered if he was a complete misogynist and could hardly believe the conversation I was having. He told me to put my questions in an email and said that he had never had a conversation like that one before! Then he hung up. I suppose he might be new to being an estate agent, although he didn’t sound like that was the case - regardless, that’s no excuse! I’ve had plenty of business dealing with estate agents and asking questions and I’ve never encountered anyone so rude and patronising. If I were the person paying Winkworths to sell that property I would be very displeased.

TrustpilotProfessional, honest and highly knowledgeable
Winkworth were our estate agents for the purchase of a house in Norwood.Aidan was a professional, friendly and honest presence throughout this process. From the minute we walked through the door for the first viewing to when the contract got confirmed, myself and my partner felt supported, in good hands and treated with honesty which was doubly significant given that we were the buyers not the vendors.Genuinely, a stressful process was made that little bit easier for having Aidan involved in it. We couldn't recommend him highly enough. Thanks Aidan, I hope you get the sunshine holiday soon.

TrustpilotVery happy w Winkworth!
Very happy w Winkworth! We had trouble selling our lovely Victorian house in a sellers' market and were stumped as to why. We were on the market during the stamp duty holiday for five and a half months with over 30 viewing and no offers, with no help from the previous agent as to why. Winkworth arrived, got the right buyers through the door, and had us under offer at an asking price we were happy with in just over a month. That's some serious magic there!Alex and Aidan were very helpful throughout the selling process and made sure communications kept flowing despite delays down the chain. We completed last week and were very pleased we switched to Winkworth! Thank you, Alex & Aidan and the CP team.

TrustpilotAidan Naude is a saint!
I never thought purchasing my first property would be so stressful. It wasn't the process, it wasn't Winkworth, it was the vendor. They were so unhelpful, unresponsive and such a massive headache throughout the entire process, that I considered pulling out. However, Aidan was an absolute saint from start to finish. He professionally dealt with me and the vendor and kept everything on track as much as he could, even going above and beyond of what I'd expect an estate agent to do (late night updates, chasing all hours of the day, etc). I am so grateful to Aidan and his team for all the work they've put into this and I can't thank you all enough. I'll 100% be using this branch again.

TrustpilotWorld Class
After initially receiving excellent service from Winkworth the second step in my rental process was overseen by Aoife Quail. There was transparency, communication and professional assistance throughout the process. This process wasn't an easy one, but for someone immigrating to the UK the service can only be described as WORLD CLASS.

TrustpilotBuyer of property represented by agent
As a buyer of a property represented by a Winkworth agent (Helga), the experience wasn't great. To her credit, Helga was quick to jump on the phone to speak. However, she also seemed to be a step behind the rest of the parties involved (sellers, buyers, and the two parties' respective solicitors), often needing us to update her on the latest with the process, rather than her liaising with the sellers or the solicitors directly and being a step ahead. Predictably, this caused massive stress and almost cost us the house in the last stages of the purchasing process. Worst of all, when asked to confirm things on the sellers' behalf, it seemed almost like she just said yes without actually checking with them, and then had to renege on her 'confirmation' days later. It's unclear whether this was a strategy to get the seller into a more favorable position (understandable, as the seller is her client), or general lack of communication on her part, but it certainly came off as unprofessional and made for a less pleasant buying experience than it could have been.

I have been using Winkworth as a letting agent for over 10 years and their expertise and knowledge is second to none. Aaron and the team at Winkworth are so reliable, friendly & brilliant that I would recommend them whole-heartedly. They know the dynamics of the market well, don't artificially inflate prices to draw you in but instead succeed in gaining the rents and valuations they suggest. This is rare to find and so look no further!

We have just sold and bought through the Kensal Rise office. Overall we had a great experience, we were trying to complete before the stamp duty relief, which became quite tight, however Gurdeep couldn't have worked harder on our behalf to get things done on time. He went above and beyond and was very nice to deal with... Having used a few estate aagents in the past, Gurdeep has been by far the best. Along with Stuart being very helpful through the process.

TrustpilotMisleading listing on Rightmove
Related to Winkworth Harringay - They posted a completely misleading advert of a rental property on Rightmove, so be careful when viewing properties listed by them. In reality, the property was a 1bed flat, but had been advertised as a 2 bed using a mix of old/recent pictures to trick the prospective tenant. Appreciate the viewing made things clear but it's just mind-numbingly laughable to lure tenants in this manner! You will waste your time and go through hassle on the job to take time out to do the viewing. Moreover, the agent on the viewing showed no acknowledgment of obvious inconsistency in their ad vs reality.

Excellent Lettings agency. From start to finish. Great customer service: easy to access and professional staff. Aaron as head of Lettings in Kensal Rise is extremely dynamic. He engages with the landlord from the start of the Lettings process to the end. He ensures the property is in a good condition and is ready for rent; he gives help and advice on how to improve things. He’s in touch on a weekly basis to feedback on how things are going and what viewers are reporting. Also very proactive managing the tenancy. I’m really very pleased and awed by the enthusiasm

TrustpilotToxic black mould not dealt with
Unfortunately I have had a bad experience as a tenant for nearly 3 years. There is a terrible case of toxic black mould in the property which has impacted my health and my children’s health. They have been reluctant to do anything about it- giving me advise such as “open the windows” and “keep the house at a constant temperature” it’s not acceptable considering they have a duty to provide safe living conditions, which they aren’t doing.

Really pleased with Tom's service as a newbie first time buyer like me. He has been professional, efficient and very accommodating throughout the process. Viewing booked same day of initiation call, offer accepted within two hours of viewing, memorandum of sale 24 hours after acceptance of offer and 3 further viewings organised/ accommodated between offer acceptance and completion with no hesitancy even though he had a broken collar bone. Special mention to Esta too who went out of her way to keep the process moving and completed well within the stamp duty relief deadline! Thank you Tom and Esta, I'll definitely be recommending your services to my friends and family!

We’re sorry to hear about your experience, Tracey, and appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.
While we do not recognise some aspects of your review, we take all concerns seriously. Throughout the tenancy, any maintenance issues reported to us were addressed in line with standard procedures, and we made efforts to follow up where we did not receive a response.
We have no record of the sewage issue mentioned, but we would always investigate matters of this nature if they are brought to our attention.
In relation to the deposit, this is currently being handled through the Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS), an independent service which ensures a fair and impartial resolution for both parties.
We would welcome the opportunity to discuss your concerns further and encourage you to contact the office directly so we can assist.

Trustpilotdiscriminates against DSS tenant…
discriminates against DSS tenant seekers which could mean a number of situations someone is working and part universal credit because of a disability or a child for instance, doesn't matter if you have an excellent rental history or moderate income under 50k, they will just say just say the DSS income is insufficient to cover your rent even when it meets the LHA allowance. They wont bother to do any further maths baring in mind that the main tenant who is working is pay the majority share of the rent, their snobbery and discrimination is a major contribution to the housing crisis, I really think Estate agents need to be made to have a duty of care as they deal with a lot of vulnerable people and just sometimes not able to cope with the home seekers or have any empathy, hope the RRB will cover that aspect of housing

Both Ajay and Nishi have been tremendous in their approach to the task of obtaining a good tenant when our Property was up for renting again . Ajay suggested repair work where it was needed , using common sense and saving monies as and when it was feasible . Nishi had worked tirelessly to ensure that the whole process went smoothly . This required discipline, constant effort and faith and confidence . Winkworth is a great company . Nishi has worked selflessly and is a ‘ live wire ‘ . This emanates from the leadership quality of Ajay who has also shown ample purity of thought , enthusiasm and equanimity. Excellent 10/10
