WInkworth's were excellent in supporting the letting of a flat in Kensal Green, including identifying and finding the right tenants, and then providing an personal service in helping the management of that property.Winkworth's also provided a brilliant sales service when it came to marketing and selling the same property, taking us right through the process. Thank you.

Professional, patient, a pleasure to deal with.
Nicola went above and beyond the call of duty to manage a very complicated and lengthy conveyancing, keeping in close touch with us and the others in the chain. We have never before experienced such a high quality of service from any other estate agent.

We highly recommend Winkworth.
We felt Winkworth appreciated our property. The photos were beautifully taken, and we were given good advice regarding marketing. When we received an offer for our house (it happened very quickly), they helped by communicating clearly between buyer and seller whenever necessary which made the process considerably less stressful than it could have been. Everyone we spoke to was highly efficient and supportive throughout.

Top real estate agency with a notable history
An exceptional estate agency renowned for its prompt responsiveness, seasoned and supportive agents, a rich heritage, and a significant market presence. The amiable Arrun and Mya helped us to locate a new residence and expertly navigated us through the entire journey.

Not to be trusted.
Not to be trusted.Despite adhering completely to the Tenancy Agreement and having the premises professionally cleaned before leaving, Winkworth charged us an exorbitant amount for cleaning services - that were not even in the contract. This is for a place they neglected to maintain - leaks in the roof and mould on the walls that were never fixed.
At Winkworth we are always disappointed to receive a review such as yours and I am sorry to hear of your personal experiences. All of the Winkworth Offices are independently owned and operated and if you are able to update you review and provide details of the office that you had dealings with, we will be able to look into your concerns accordingly. Thank you in advance.

Winkworth are a great estate agent. Michael and James lead from the front and clearly focus on supporting their wider team. The end result is a great service and experience. Highly recommended. Note reviewing from landlord perspective.
Hi Ben, thank you very much for this kind review. We look forward to working with you in the future.

My wife and me came from abroad to Reading and contacted Winkworth. They proposed us several interesting flats. As we were not familiar with this region, we had a lot of questions, which they responded fast. We really like the flat we finally found with them, and we can absolutely recommend Winkworth Reading.
Thank you so much for this lovely review! We wish you the best in your new home!

I was most pleased with the preparation and delivery of my house details to several clients. Winkworths ensured that any delays due to a client's difficulty of selling their own property were swiftly dealt with. A thoroughly professional and helpful Service!
Hi John, thank you so much for this lovely review! It has been a pleasure to work with you.

Shaun Blackstock not only found me a fabulous flat - having listened to my requests - he then found me the best tenant for my flat. Shaun with Aaron Priscott at Winkworths are the best Estate Agents bar none. Many thanks

Absolutely shambolic
Update on my review. Credit where credit is due at least they took my feedback seriously and responded and worked hard to resolve my issues in a timely manner after I complained. So thank you. Absolutely shambolic. Lied to about the deposit refund process and still waiting 2 months on for this to be resolved. Agent just palms off all responsibility back to the tenants. Would never use again! This is the Bishopston office

Winkworth have been very helpful especially a lady called Jade from Porringland branch. She couldnt have done more to keep me up to date with all information and guiding me through the process for buying a home. She went above and beyond the call of duty and i would definately recommend her. Thanks Winkworth

We had really disappointing experience…
We had really disappointing experience with a Winkworth Finchely department, to be more exact, with a staff member Lewis Impleton.First of all, I called to ask for the particular flat viewing to be arranged. He asked me quite few questions on the phone, which was fine, as he had enough information to consider, if he wanted to waste my time and energy by coming to view the flat on the busy working day.Please note, I WAS ASKED what is my salary, which alone, was actually exceeding the required costs of the particular flat, but I WAS NOT ASKED to send the documents, reference letters etc. Lewis WAS AWARE of me and my husband working as a self-employed, but as I assume now, he didn't really understand the nature of my work and didn't bother himself to introduce me to the l.lord as a contracted worker, 6 days a week.On the day of viewing, he showed us the flat, politely smiled at us and was very presentable. But that was it...Knowing how fast we needed to move, due to the lack of free time and busy schedulle, he still did not get back to me. When I decided to chase him myself, I only received a short email- saying, that actually he was speaking to land lord and suddenly finding out, that they wanted only FULLY EMPLOYED people...I have only one reason to think of- he didn't like my husband or to be more exact- his nationality, as to emphasize again- he DID NOT ask us to send any of the required documents, proofs etc. He just judged us by the fact, that we are self-employed....

I have had Winkworth as letting agents then as the sales agent. They were excellent for property management, sorted out all issues promptly and maintained a good relationship with the tenants too. Winkworth Reading's Director, Michael, handled the sale brilliantly, negotiated above my expectations and ensured a quick and smooth process through to Exchange. I would highly recommend them.
5/5
I was very pleased with the responsiveness of the service from Winkworths during the sale of a property. They got the house listed quickly , and I was always kept informed of viewings. Robin in particular always returned my calls promptly. During the successful completion, he worked hard to chase the other side's bankers who were being slow, and kept everyone in the loop. I would recommend their services.
Dear Valerie, Many thanks for your kind review, very much appreciated

Won't be using Winkworth ever again
Terrible experience leaving our tenancy with Winkworth Tiverton. Spent a day cleaning the flat only to be told it wasn't good enough and cost us nearly £300 in deposit for them getting it cleaned by "professional" we didn't have a say in any of this and even though we mentioned that we felt we left the flat in good condition it went on deaf ears. We looked after that flat for 2 and half years and to have this in return just felt like it was all for nothing. I hope I'm never in a situation where I will have them again. Terrible company
5/5
I have had the pleasure of having Robin as the sale manager assigned to sale my property. I was very pleased with his professionalism and the high quality of services he provided. He kept me informed at all stages, he was very proactive as well as reactive to all my queries. I definitely recommend his and Winkworth services.
Hi Francesco, it has been a pleasure working with you to sell your home. We wish you all the best in the future.

Awful service
After sending many emails trying to arrange a viewing, calling and being cut off, I was rudely and abruptly spoken to. Incompetent and incapable employees. My interest was dismissed and my situation wasn't even asked after, nor my telephone number or name for the viewing. Awful customer service from their NW office.

dont trust them
Had an appointment to view a flat, 30' before and as I was arriving, they cancelled as they got a holding deposit. How trustworthy Winkworth ?! Great move. The right thing to do is to finish all your appointments with the clients and then decide and take a holding deposit ! Avoid them.

With covid my usual contact for lettings was not around to assist with my portfolio of clients. Nishi was able to quickly get up to speed with what was required and ensured the service provided was seemless. Great work and dedication, thankyou Nishi.
