GoogleFrom the moment we started our association with Winkworths we felt confident about their ability to sell our apartment. We had tried 2 previous estate agents in Reading with little success. Winkworths did what they said they would do and the sale went through in record time. We would have no hesitation in recommending them.
Many thanks Howard

GoogleAvoid Avoid Avoid!I cannot believe how disgustingly we’ve been treated. First of all we experienced mould in our flat. The Winkworth director came to our house, said he fixed the mould, however we were left with mould for over 3 months. They have also tried to charge us for things which were already there before we arrived to the flat. Also, the property management would ignore us during the whole week. Then other employees would say “ She’s out/ She’s busy” every single time. This went on for months. Ironically when PM did answer it would be late evening on a Friday and then they wouldn’t be in till the Monday( not answering again until the next Friday). Just disgraceful, this company. I find it disgusting that you can leave people in toxic conditions where their flat is filled with mould. Then charge them loads of money for several things that do not add up. The director should be extremely ashamed of himself. I also heard other flats having similar issues to us.. so find it funny how they were like “ We haven’t had any issues like this”. Ridiculous and disgusting to treat people like this, especially during these hard times.

GoogleNEVER I repeat NEVER rent with that agency! The amount of times I was left without electricity, gas, etc. and no one seemed to really help were more than acceptable. I was once told by a "Property Manager" that I shouldn't complain about not having hot water but rather "make use of my kettle". I was left without heating for 3+ weeks because another "Property Manager" didn't call the contractors to come and look at the boiler. Those same contractors had accused me of lying that the boiler wasn't working. It took Winkworth 3 full weeks to finally come to theirs sense and call an actual boiler specialist. When he came he told me that my boiler needed to be fixed ASAP. It took them few calls from the Reading borough to take action for the matter. The way I was treated was absolutely unprofessional and unacceptable. Until the last day of my stay in my studio the main drain had been blocked and every time I used the washing machine it would flood the entire kitchen. Again as usual no one in the agency took the matter seriously enough to mark it as urgent and get it over with. It took them 4+ weeks of calls from me every day to finally come and fix it. Unlucky for me even after the second visit of their top tier contractors the drain was still clogged. These are just few of the horrible things that I have experienced while renting with that agency. I highly advice you do not rent with them. This is my personal experience of course but I highly doubt they will be helpful if you ever have problems and they manage the property themselves.NegativeProfessionalism

GoogleI have had an awful experience at my checkout with this agency. The inventory report was ridiculously meticulous and punctilious and I have been charged for normal wear and tear damages and for issues not caused by me. As a result I will never rent with this agency again and I will not recommend it to anyone.
