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!

Working with Josh and the Team at Kensington Church Street has been such a pleasure. Josh has so much experience and was always available to respond to any queries we had quickly and efficiently when my son recently purchased a flat with his support. Communication throughout the whole process was excellent both with us and our solicitor. Highly recommend them!

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.

We are very impressed with Josh and Nick for helping us to finish a very difficult process of selling and buying with our very specific requirements in a rather difficult market. Nick is always very polite, patient and thorough. Josh's herculean effort for getting the chain through the finishing line was incredibly impressive. Josh's team at Kensington Church Street is where you must go to if you want the best service from a very experienced and most competent team! The pride they put into their work is also admirable! Well done Josh and Nick! Thank you very much!

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!

Things started off well enough with Ryan showing us a property and being perfectly professional and polite. However as soon as our offer got accepted he essentially became a completely different person. He would send aggressive chasers and even called me out of the blue speaking to me in an incredibly rude and threatening tone. The searches process was rather slow so Ryan tried to convince me to drop my lawyers and hire new ones with complete disregard for the fact that it would have implied an additional cost for us with no actual benefit to the transaction. He even called my lawyers and asked what I had paid them as he was trying to prove the point that I had been 'cheap'. While the process was actually moving at a normal pace, Ryan was perhaps just extra keen to get his fee ahead of the end of the fiscal year? Frankly it was impossible for me to come up with any reasonable explanation for this behaviour. The last agent I will consider when next selling a flat.

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.

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.

If you want the best agent, try Nicole!

I wish to extend my utmost appreciation for the outstanding service provided by Nicole during my home purchase.

Whether you are buying, selling or renting a home, her professionalism, unwavering dedication, and commitment to delivering exceptional service are commendable. Nicole's ability to establish a personal connection and genuinely understand clients' needs is truly remarkable. She is a genuine asset to your agency, exemplifying the qualities of a top-tier agent. I would wholeheartedly recommend her. Once again Nicole, thank you!

Old-school professionalism at its very best, based on years of local property knowledge and bags of common sense. Excellent at keeping everyone informed and liaising with solicitors, who have a similar high regard for Josh and his team (a rare quality and absolutely vital when things get tricky).

Aaron was an amazing help

Aaron was an amazing help. As soon as I spoke with him regarding re renting my flat he put me on the right 'track' in regards to everything I needed to do or not to do. The previous tenants left the flat in a real mess and Aaron recommended certain businesses that dealt with many of my concerns ie getting rid of rubbish, where to get an EPC from etc. As soon as the flat was ready to go on the market Aaron was able to muster up fifteen applicants whilst weedling out a few that weren't quite right for my flat. He got me an immediate offer which was a little more than expected which was great. Overall I had a great experience with Winkworth, would definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone that would like to rent out their property.
