TrustpilotThe 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.

TrustpilotBrilliant 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.

GoogleExcellent experience with Winkworth Clerkenwell. In particular Adrian has gone abobe and beyond from the moment I first made contact. He has been very proactive. His communication with solicitors and personal involvement in the recent purchase of an apartment in Bloomsbury have been very helpful during the whole process. I would highly recommend their services.

TrustpilotThe 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..

TrustpilotPlease 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.

TrustpilotWorst 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!

I have just re let my apartment through the Kensal Rise Office who have been managing my property for 2 years.

Aaron Priscott is an absolute legend. I ended up with nowhere to live after maida vale floods and he said "I know a guy". Relocated us, got us into our new home. Then at the new year. I said I want to stay here, Aaron made it happen. Hes a legend and I have no idea how he did all of that. Now I just live a life with my dog 🐕. Thanks Aaron for being such a legend.
