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.

James and Darryl did a great job selling our house. From the start, they were professional, easy to deal with, and clearly knew what they were doing. They kept us well informed throughout the process and were always available when we had questions. Everything felt well organised and handled smoothly, which took a lot of the stress out of selling. We were really happy with how everything turned out and grateful for their hard work. We’d happily recommend James and Darryl to anyone looking to sell their home.

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.

As a first time seller I was new to the process of putting a property on the market. Having gone from door to door to the numerous estate agents in Highgate Village I was about to give up hope of finding one that I wished to deal with. My last port of call was Winkworths. From the moment I walked through the door and was greeted by James and Daryl I just I knew that I had found the perfect agents and I was right. They were knowledgeable, friendly, enthusiastic and perceptive. They patiently led me through the entire journey of selling from beginning to the end with great professionalism and courtesy and within a short time found the absolutely perfect buyers. I think it’s probably very very rare to find such supportive and personal touch in this business. Thank you James and Daryl, it truly was a pleasure selling through you. Nigel

I bought my flat in Highgate via James at Winkworth almost 20 years ago. I said at the time that whenever I came to sell, I would be back in touch as my experience and the service was so good. Fast forward to 2023 when I decided it was time to sell. I was back in touch with James without hesitation. My sale was complex and rocky (understatement) due to a combination of new legislation and also some intricacies and nuances with my property being a leasehold. Throughout a two year period involving one collapsed sale, a switch to rental and then re-list, James and Daryl were by my side throughout. At all times responsive, professional and helpful. And what was refreshing (and I think sets them apart from other agents) is: a) their genuine empathy for a clients personal situation and b) their complete honesty at all stages (even if it’s what you don’t want to hear). In other words, no BS. Always clear, direct and realistic but with a big heart. I can’t recommend Winkworth in Highgate highly enough. They will support you from beginning to end and won’t bail or cower when things get tough (which they will) but remain resilient and determined. You will be in safe hands if you choose to appoint. Thank you James and Daryl :)

Thanks Dan!

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!

We originally bought our flat through James at Winkworth in Highgate who advised and helped us with every aspect of the process. We have remained in close contact with James over the years, and once again both he and Daryl have helped us sell the same flat. The sound common sense advice we have received throughout the process has been very reassuring. James managed our expectations perfectly so we knew exactly what to expect in terms of timings. Buying or selling your home is rather stressful. With the reassurance and experience of James and the team we knew we had professional people we could fully trust.

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.

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.

Having had a difficult previous experience with an online service, we turned to Winkworths in Highgate and are very glad we did. Their local knowledge, proactive, flexible and attentive service worked wonders in a difficult market. James and Daryl kept us informed throughout and supported the liaison on our sale with great effect.

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.

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) 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.

Excellent Agents

I have worked with many estate agents on buying and selling properties. I also used to work in the commercial property sector. In selling this property I have been very impressed by the advice and service given by Winkworths but notably by Lewis. We have been informed and regularly updated (without chasing or prompting). Lewis has been proactive throughout to ensure that our sale was made quickly and efficiently. I highly recommend Lewis and Winkworth.
