Winkworth Newbury reviews

Mollie provided valuable insights on how to stage and market our property effectively, and as a result we ended up getting more to what we expected for our house sale. She also found us our new ‘dream’ home and with her excellent negotiation skills managed to secure the best price for us. We completed in just 15 weeks - that is from the day our house sale went live online to moving in, and that’s selling and buying! Mollie and her team were incredibly responsive and always kept us updated on the progress of our sale as well as purchase. Needless to say, the efficiency and effectiveness in handling all the paperwork and continuously working towards closing the deal at such speed. All this was done with genuine care and support throughout the process and even after the sale. We were able to fully rely on her. The full team deserves a high praise, as anyone who picked our calls at the office was always ready to answer any questions, which is rare, but it just shows that the Winkworth team works well together, and they are all aware of what’s going on with many different purchases and sales. We would just highly recommend on every aspect.

It has been a pleasure dealing with Mollie, Jack and team over the last couple of months with a property sale. They were very professional throughout, speedy responses and kept me well informed throughout the whole process. A great team who were easy to work with.

We had a fantastic experience both buying and selling our property through Winkworth. All staff have been incredibly helpful and provide fab customer service. When selling our property, Sam was very patient with us and walked us through every step of the process which was so useful for us and gave reassurance when needed. Our sale went through very speedily and believe it was down to Winkworth and their reccomendations for solicitors who made it go so smoothly.

Cannot thank Sam enough for his help during what was quite a stressful time. He was always there to answer all my questions and phone calls (and there were lots of them) nothing was too much trouble, communication was always great, keeping us updated and informed throughout. Mollie was also great to deal with in Sam’s absence, again keeping us updated with how things were progressing. Pleasure to deal with Winkworth

This is our first time renting and Sam completely put our minds at rest he was professional and explained every step clearly, i had problems filling out the forms (I’m not good with technology) but Sam guided me through each step (and was very patient) We submitted an offer (which wasn’t accepted unfortunately) but Sam was very positive and made me feel important. All in all a very positive experience

Update - EA/Landlord lost at arbitration, stick up for yourselves people don't let them take the piss. Rented for a little over a year, was mostly plesent up until we had an emergency repair for our frontdoor as the lock failed 10pm on a sunday they don't offer a 24hr number so we paid callout charges for a locksmith, we were then notified they would only re-imburse 1/3rd of the cost even though the tenancy agreement states you must secure the property and that the landlords insurance requires you to do so. At the time they also did not provide a recommended locksmith (they do now, so at least they learnt from this mistake). Funnily enough upon being made aware of the clauses in their own contract they backtracked and paid the entirety. Additionally, the EA tries to force viewings at times you've said you can't do due to work and the fact that you wfh even when you have agreed entire days for viewings and to have them still try and force these on us even though by law you don't even need to allow any viewings while you're a tenant, they prey on you not knowing your rights as a renter. Upon leaving our rental we discovered damp caused by a neighbouring flat, the landlord and winkworth are trying to deduct from our deposit for damage (and re-decorating and hiring a de-humidifer?) caused because we left the propert unattended for 1 week which is in accordance with their own tenancy agreement and are claiming that has caused additional damage and that we should've been at the property heating it to minimise the damage, pretty difficult to do after you've handed back the keys and they've accepted them. We'll be disputing the deposit deductions and taking it further if necessary. Edit to address reply below - Standard industry practices is code for trying to bully tenants until they point out the afformentioned requests are literally illegal. If the standard industry practice is to bully & intimidate tenants then i'll update my review to 5 stars as you do an excellent job of it.

Everyone @ Winkworth's has been an absolute joy to work with on our recent sale and purchase. Mollie has been our shining star and is an exemplar of awesome customer service. She has been patient (even when I am sure I have been driving her a bit potty!), kind, super knowledgeable and her communication has been second to none. Sam and Sandra have been amazing if Mollie was unavailable for any reason - we loved that they are a small and highly dedicated team and how much knowledge they all had of our case. Thank you to you all for being so awesome!

Winkworth Newbury were excellent during the 3yrs I was a tenant in a property managed by them. They were always professional and quick to respond to any issues/requests. A special thanks goes to Tamsin who was outstanding the entire time and is an asset to the company. Keep up the good work!

Sam has been wonderful in helping me purchase my home in Newbury. My prior experiences with estate agents have all been negative, but Sam and Winkworth have been excellent. He has been very proactive throughout the purchase, always very easy to contact and has done a good job of chasing difficult solicitors throughout the process. Thank you Sam!

I have been impressed with Winkworth’s services ever since I first met Mollie for our property valuation. Mollie came across as knowledgeable, professional, friendly and approachable - just the right mix to sell our house I thought, and was proved right! I really liked the fact that we had a small dedicated team to deal with all our viewings and sales negotiations personally (rather than being handed around various teams). Everyone I met from Winkworth have come across just as capable and supportive as Mollie, and the team have sold our house for over asking price in under 3 weeks. Mollie regularly checked in and kept me informed on the process, and is even supporting me in my onward house purchase. I couldn’t recommend Mollie and Winkworth enough, and won’t be going to any other estate agents moving forward!

A big thank you to Winkworth for the sale of my parents house, initially dealing with Ian, then Sam and then Mollie joined Winkworth. Not an easy sale and process, but Mollie kept me updated and we spoke often to support us though the sale and prompt me on any actions, many thanks again 😊 …

Winkworth have been incredible with the sale of my property. I cannot thank Mollie enough for making the whole process run so smoothly. Mollie is very professional and is the most warm, caring person. I couldn't have wished for a better estate agent to handle what was a very emotional house sale.

We had an excellent experience buying through Winkworth. They clearly have a very well defined set of processes and it helped to keep things moving smoothly. Mollie was excellent as our main point of contact and was proactive in progressing the purchase, and kept all parties up to date on updates that may have taken much longer via the solicitors. I would happily use again, as both a buyer or a seller. Thank you.

I dealt with Winkworth when buying a property they were selling. There were lots of issues and complications along the way and Mollie was personable, professional and a pleasure to deal with throughout the process. No request or question went unanswered, and her follow up was exemplary. Thank you!

Sam has been excellent dealing with our house sale. It's been a tricky sale (due to other factors), but Sam's persistence and diligence, along side his colleague Mollie got us though. We were kept well informed every step of the way. Definitely recommend Winkworth Newbury and thier fantastic team.
