GoogleI cannot praise Winkworth in Southbourne enough.
They recently dealt with the sale of my property, which turned out to be more complicated than any of us thought. However, they were utterly professional in their approach to all the hurdles and made me feel comfortable all the way through. Ariana was so kind, keeping my spirits up and kept me constantly informed which meant I did not get as stressed as I could of done? The sale went through thanks to their hard work, patience and perseverance. Thank you so much to all of you. Highly recommended.

GoogleFergus could not have been more knowledgeable and helpful.
He really took on board what our needs were and compared to other estate agents we visited, we felt that he was genuinely trying to match us to our ideal property. There was no ‘sales pitch’ and we weren’t shown anything that didn’t suit our requirements.
From start to finish, the whole Southbourne team we’re on hand to answer any queries we had.
Many thanks for all the help! We couldn’t be happier.
Christa.

GoogleThe sale of our house was not an easy process due to unusual circumstances but Lori and her team were very supportive and guided us through the sale. During the final and most difficult part of the transaction Lori worked tirelessly to find a solution to what seemed to us an impossible situation which she overcame both professionally and with compassion. Her positive attitude throughout was truly appreciated and helped us through many a low point. Many thanks, Ian & Jan

GoogleWe've just completed on the sale of our flat in Southbourne and Ariana from Winkworth Southbourne was excellent from the moment she took over our sale from the estate agent who had recently left. I was initially a bit worried about the change in agent but I shouldn't have been - she was absolutely brilliant. Any hiccup or bump in the road (perhaps expected when trying to sell a house during a pandemic) were immediately communicated and worked on. She was responsive, knowledgeable, articulate and personable. I really felt like she was fighting my corner and on my team at all times. We were buying a family home and there’s an emotional tag that comes with this - she offered continual advice about all aspects (both buying and selling), along with recognising and easing my anxieties about delays and set backs, which were entirely out of Winkworth’s control. If ever things felt like they were stalling or going off-course, she was there to immediately steer it back in direction. Ariana is an absolute gem and a credit to Winkworth.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

FacebookAnything that could go wrong with my sale did...very complicated and time consuming as I was in a chain of 4 plus a freeholder !! However through this very stressful time, Winkworth Southbourne kept on top of everything - huge thanks to Fergus who kept me sane during all the madness. He definitely was the glue that held the whole thing together. Constantly updating me even in his own personal time if it called for it and I felt he had a personal commitment to make sure the sale completed. Thanks to Hettie for the numerous viewings, she got to know my house better than me � and to Matt for his patience during some stressful phone calls �. A great team who I would have no hesitation in recommending.

FacebookWinkworth Southbourne were head and shoulders above any other estate agent I have ever dealt with. The lease extension on my flat took an age to go through and Fergus was the only one to stay in touch throughout the entire process. I knew that if this is how he was with me, this would be the level of effort and professionalism he would deliver when it came to selling my flat and I wasn't disappointed. We're all so quick to slate estate agents and sadly it's normally for good reason so Winkworth Southbourne come as a breath of fresh air and I would recommend them to anyone. Huge thanks to Hettie and especially to Fergus for all their help with selling my flat, great job, couldn't be happier.

GoogleI had a viewing and my husband and I were running late, I called the office to let them know, and apparently the lady I spoke was going to pass the msg, however, it was the most awkward viewing. The lady who showed make us feel super uncomfortable, super cut, we only wanted to leave the viewing as it wasn’t nice at all. Unfortunately even tho it was a nice property, just thinking dealing with this lady push us off.

GoogleWe bought a flat in Southbourne and what should have been a straight forward process ended up bogged down for no apparent reason, as happens so often.
Ariana was skillful in engaging with both sides to move things along to a successful conclusion. Thank you!

GoogleFergus and the sales team in Southbourne stand out from the local estate agents, very many of which I have had contact with. Their confidence in handling the complexities of property deals comes from long experience. They apply that magic personal touch - the unflappable steady approach that gets the work done. I appreciated this when they helped me to overcome unforeseen external legal problems. Their attitude seems to be, it's never too much trouble. And we are grateful for all their help.

GoogleWe live in Hong Kong and Fergus helped us buy an investment property. The whole process was quick and easy and the customer service was fantastic. He answered any questions we had, kept in touch on a regular basis and sorted out any problems that could have arisen swiftly. Our property was rented out in days and their management of the property has been very efficient. Would definitely recommend using them!
