Tighten your ship
Knowledgeable at first and we could have gone with them but frustrating when consistently giving inadequate email replies to important questions and coming across as too relaxed and then petulant when we eventually went with another agent who was more on the ball.

I found the staff at Winkworth to be responsive and solution-orientated. I had a specific requirements when looking for a rental in the Kensal Rise area and Winkworth did their utmost to accommodate. They were also quick in responding to my questions and pleasant throughout. Thank you Frazer, Stacy, Michael and Aaron!

Great service
The two agents I worked with (Zak and Dhruv) were fantastic, kept the process moving as quick as they could and dealt with a lot of demands from our buyer.

Winkworth were excellent from the organisation of a first viewing to signing and letting the property. Andrew was incredibly helpful and he was always professional. He made sure the journey of finding a new property was more enjoyable and less stressful. Well organised, great communication and always followed up on any requests. I would highly recommend using the Winkworth Kennington team.

Rented for 2+ years in Kensal Green
We rented for a bit over two years in the Kensal Green area. Although there were some issues with the flat itself, everything was handled promptly and professionally by Michael, the property manager.The team are friendly and their processes work well from a tenant’s perspective.

Nothing but praise
We really enjoyed working together with Andrew C from the Kensal Rise office on the house we just bought. He was the agent for the sellers but helped us a lot as well in making sure the transaction went smoothly and everything staid on track. As first time buyers the whole process can be quite overwhelming so we really appreciated his open and honest advice.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Marthe. We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us, and we agree, Andrew is truly a gem to have on our team! We look forward to working with you again in the future!

Been booking appointments twice for houses interested in renting. Both of them I was the first one to call in. And both of them are gone due to unknown reason, maybe because of my race. They say the people who took it got higher rents to pay. I have been calling everyday since I have seen the second house to ask is there any terms that the landlord will put forward and I will try to full fill, I just wanna secure the house. They said no. And finally they say it's gone again. Will never trust this place and never come here again. Scamming agency.
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. I have looked into the situation for you and understand you called to organise a viewing for a property however you said that you could not view it for another five days. Unfortunately in this time the landlord decided to accept an offer from somebody who had viewed the property, the landlord did know we had other viewings booked but wanted us to take the property off the market. The Lettings Consultant called to let you know the situation and suggested another similar property on the market which they arranged for you to see. You asked if it was possible to rent the property from September and the Consultant explained to you that the property was available in June and the landlord wanted to rent the property in June since they would have a three month void period if they waited until September. You said you didn’t think it would be possible but would go away and discuss and we never heard back. If you would like any further clarification please don’t hesitate to contact us.

My journey to re-let our flat through Winkworth
The staff at Winkworth were highly professional at all levels. Fast to respond to queries, assisted with all logistics needed for a tenancy turnover. Quick to get potential tenants to view. In essence they took all the time consuming heavy lifting aawy from me so was a stress free process, for which I am very grateful and would highly recommend Winkworth as letting agents.

RENTERS, BEWARE. Be very wary of this specific agency. We entered a dispute around our deposit (rented property) and provided evidence that contradicted their claims. However, they continued to dismiss them until the process went to independent review, where all of our claims were proved correct. Complete time wasters and con artists. Also extremely rude throughout the whole process with 0 empathy. Update: 31/01/2023 After leaving this review, an employee from Winkworth reached out to us to understand more. Although what happened previously cannot be undone, I have to say the follow up process was refreshing. Francesca took the time to listen and properly acknowledged what we said - which is all we were seeking in the first place. It didn’t feel like lip service, the conversation was genuine and down to earth and it was very much appreciated by me and my fellow tenants

We were really happy with the service we received selling our flat through Winkworth Kennington. Given we were interacting with another set of agents in our onward purchase, the difference was really clear in the level of professionalism and integrity. Ollie really felt on top of it throughout the process and we were able to trust his advice at every stage and in his ability to handle things when it got tricky. The rest of the team were also extremely proactive whenever they were called upon. I would 100% recommend using the team.

Aaron is professional, knowledgeable, and proficient, and was always prompt and helpful in answering our queries. We would highly recommend him and his team to prospective landlords and tenants.

Bad customer service
hello , it is a pity that you can't even answer your customers' questions, since you look so high quality. And this discrimination you have done is very bad, those who receive dss and ask you some questions you don't even care, I mean, if we get help, we can't rent a house? And won't we get an answer ? Is this your customer service?

Avoid, Winkworth do not return deposits
I rented with Winkworth for three years and then ended my tenancy. As soon as I requested my deposit, my letting manager stopped responding to me and I have not heard anything in a month since I moved out despite constant chasing and have started a formal complaint process.

When me and my partner started looking for properties we had a nightmare finding agents who would listen to our needs and make things as simple as possible around our busy work week. The team at Winkworth Kennington stood out amongst the pack, particularly Hugo Trew, who we highly recommend. He was professional and very easy to communicate with. Thanks guys!

Excellent Property Manager - Michael Ferguson
We had a really positive experience with Michael Ferguson as our Property Manager for the last 2 years. Extremely easy to deal with and ensured clear communication between the landlord. If there was ever any issues with the property he made sure they were resolved in a timely and easy manner! highly recommend!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave an excellent rating!

Tenants - Don’t Use
I am writing this review from the perspective of a tenant - I’m sure that experiences selling and buying homes or being a Landlord with Winkworth are different, but ultimately those transactions are the money makers so that is to be expected.Our experience with Winkworth was atrocious, from beginning to end.On the very first day of us moving in, despite having agreed for a professional clean to be done, the flat was visibly dirty in places (which was picked up by the inventory company). After several calls to Winkworth, the landlord hadn’t cleaned the flat and the earliest they could do was the following day.When we moved in, various things such as the washing machine, the oven, the bathroom light all one by one stopped working over a period of a couple of weeks/months. These things took time to replace and when I spoke to the management team at Winkworth I was told that the landlord wasn’t a very wealthy person and they couldn’t fix things like ‘Mum or Dad would’.Things continued to break in our flat and requests to fix were just ignored. Our toilet flush broke and we were without a working toilet for 3 weeks. A wall cracked by a blind and this request was just ignored. We suffered with severe mould issues in our flat, with myself being admitted to the doctors, clothes and shoes ruined and again a damp issue being picked up on by the inventory. We had mould growing on walls on our pillows, everywhere. When I reported this to Barry, we were told to simply open windows more and put the heating higher. No responsibility was taken. We continued to live with these mould issues for 4 years and I simply had to use mould killer twice a week and run a dehumidifier 24/7 which was an increased cost to my energy bills that I had to absorb.When it came to viewings, paying various fees and dues, we were expected to respond as soon as possible and were chased frequently for answers. When the roles were reversed and overpaid rent was due we weren’t kept in the loop and I had to consistently chase and be left in the dark. It took far longer than it should have done to get our money returned to us. I can imagine this would have been treated urgently by Winkworth if we were landlords and not tenants.As a tenant, I would strongly advise against using Winkworth. Based on our experience their priorities are keeping the landlord happy given the income they get. Once you are locked into contract they don’t care for you as a tenant and this was our experience over 4 years, so I can’t see them changing any time soon.
