Tenant Find

I've been renting a property in Islington since moving to the country 25 years ago, but became exasperated with the falling service levels -and general incompetency of managing agents. New charges and ever longer contracts, full of small print, none of it in the landlord's interest.

Winkworth, specifically Henry helped me secure a charming property - an old Victorian-build, fully renovated in the best of taste, located next to a cute square, close to the dining street of the hood. As a first-time Londoner, without having a specific area in mind, at the hardest rental period in time, this is a true find.

Steer clear of these corrupt people

I gave these cowboys the job of finding tenants for a flat that I have in Islington.

7monts no fixing roof leak

They never solving problems.... 0 respect to tenats they are just nice liars it's 7mothns raining into the room, they check it and said it's only raining inside when the rain is stronger, so I'm still using bowls for water for 7 months. Boiler is broken now they made a appointment and didn't come over. When My girlfriend called them they said you have been contacted and informed that we come on evening... Nobody called us. Now they made appointment after week, so you can live without heating.. olso they just coming to check not to fix it....

Not great at check out

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

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.

I had the pleasure of working with Dominic Fletcher from Winkworth Clerkenwell & City Estate Agents during the sale of my flat, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From start to finish, his professionalism, patience, and knowledge made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Throughout the journey of selling my property, Dom was exceptionally patient. He took the time to understand my needs and concerns, answering every question with clarity and expertise, his willingness to listen and address any uncertainties I had truly set him apart from other agents. Moreover, Dom was incredibly informative. He provided valuable insights into market trends, pricing strategies, and selling processes. His expertise instilled confidence in me, knowing that I was in capable hands every step of the way. Despite the challenging conditions of an uncertain market with rising mortgage rates, Dom's dedication and hard work contributed to the successful sale of my flat. I highly recommend Dom to anyone looking for a reliable and professional agent who prioritises their clients' needs. Overall, I am grateful for the exceptional service provided by Dom and Winkworth Clerkenwell & City Estate Agents. His patience, knowledge, and dedication made selling my flat a positive experience. I also had the pleasure of seeking advice from Adam Stone regarding renting my flat during the pandemic. Adam's approach was both informative and caring. Although I ultimately didn't rent my flat through Winkworth, Adam generously took the time to mentor me throughout my brief journey as a landlord. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking guidance on renting their property.

I am very lucky to have Dominic as the agent who supports and guides me all the way through my purchase journey. I very much appreciate his open and honest approach in advising me on any of my questions. He is diplomatic yet always straight to the point. He is always responsive and patient. He put me at ease straight away. Before completion, he even made a visit to the property and ensured everything was in place. That is the icing on the cake! Only true professionals will constantly go the extra mile for their customers. Even though we dealt with everything electronically, I am going to pay a visit to him in the near future to say hi, because he will be the one I lean on with my property-related matters. I wish him and his team all the best for the future.

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

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!
