GoogleCan’t speak highly enough of my experience with Nicola! She was honest, friendly and pro-active as she constantly kept me updated from start to finish. She chased other parties when she did not need to and also secured a really good deal for me. I benefitted from her expertise and insight which helped with the entire process. Thanks again for the great service!
Thank you very much for your kind review!

TrustpilotAaron and the team
I have been using Winkworth as a letting agent for over 10 years and their expertise and knowledge is second to none. Aaron and the team at Winkworth are so reliable, friendly & brilliant that I would recommend them whole-heartedly. They know the dynamics of the market well, don't artificially inflate prices to draw you in but instead succeed in gaining the rents and valuations they suggest. This is rare to find and so look no further!

We have just sold and bought through the Kensal Rise office. Overall we had a great experience, we were trying to complete before the stamp duty relief, which became quite tight, however Gurdeep couldn't have worked harder on our behalf to get things done on time. He went above and beyond and was very nice to deal with... Having used a few estate aagents in the past, Gurdeep has been by far the best. Along with Stuart being very helpful through the process.

First ever move and Winkworth were amazing. Huge thank you to Andy and Neil in the Norwich office, kept me updated so helpful kind and professional. Once sold aftersales what can I say, dealt with Hannah and Hollie, both amazing but Hollie was so supportive, kind, friendly, kept me up to date constantly pushing it along and made me feel like I was the only one selling a house, nothing was too much trouble ,what an absolute credit to Winkworth . Thank you so much

TrustpilotExcellent Lettings agency
Excellent Lettings agency. From start to finish. Great customer service: easy to access and professional staff. Aaron as head of Lettings in Kensal Rise is extremely dynamic. He engages with the landlord from the start of the Lettings process to the end. He ensures the property is in a good condition and is ready for rent; he gives help and advice on how to improve things. He’s in touch on a weekly basis to feedback on how things are going and what viewers are reporting. Also very proactive managing the tenancy. I’m really very pleased and awed by the enthusiasm

A massive thank you to Fabian in the Kensal Rise office for helping me secure a flat in this difficult rental market. The process was swift and easy. Thanks so much for all your hard work. - Sophie
Thank you so much for your kind words, Sophie. We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us, and we agree, Fabian is truly a gem to have on our team! We look forward to working with you again in the future!

TrustpilotToxic black mould not dealt with
Unfortunately I have had a bad experience as a tenant for nearly 3 years. There is a terrible case of toxic black mould in the property which has impacted my health and my children’s health. They have been reluctant to do anything about it- giving me advise such as “open the windows” and “keep the house at a constant temperature” it’s not acceptable considering they have a duty to provide safe living conditions, which they aren’t doing.

GoogleFrom coordinating the viewings, to the offer process and through to completion of my purchase the Winkworth Dulwich team were excellent. I was only ever shown quality properties that absolutely fitted my brief. Levi, Alex and Richard were brilliant, particularly towards the end of my purchase when it really looked like we would not complete on time, but with Alex and Richard's assistance all parties pulled out the stops and we got there within 3 days.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

TrustpilotFantastic experience!
Really pleased with Tom's service as a newbie first time buyer like me. He has been professional, efficient and very accommodating throughout the process. Viewing booked same day of initiation call, offer accepted within two hours of viewing, memorandum of sale 24 hours after acceptance of offer and 3 further viewings organised/ accommodated between offer acceptance and completion with no hesitancy even though he had a broken collar bone. Special mention to Esta too who went out of her way to keep the process moving and completed well within the stamp duty relief deadline! Thank you Tom and Esta, I'll definitely be recommending your services to my friends and family!

Trustpilotzero stars
shame! zero stars, their house smells sewage sewage everywhere! unhabitable!
We’re sorry to hear about your experience, Tracey, and appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. While we do not recognise some aspects of your review, we take all concerns seriously. Throughout the tenancy, any maintenance issues reported to us were addressed in line with standard procedures, and we made efforts to follow up where we did not receive a response. We have no record of the sewage issue mentioned, but we would always investigate matters of this nature if they are brought to our attention. In relation to the deposit, this is currently being handled through the Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS), an independent service which ensures a fair and impartial resolution for both parties. We would welcome the opportunity to discuss your concerns further and encourage you to contact the office directly so we can assist.

Trustpilotdiscriminates against DSS tenant…
discriminates against DSS tenant seekers which could mean a number of situations someone is working and part universal credit because of a disability or a child for instance, doesn't matter if you have an excellent rental history or moderate income under 50k, they will just say just say the DSS income is insufficient to cover your rent even when it meets the LHA allowance. They wont bother to do any further maths baring in mind that the main tenant who is working is pay the majority share of the rent, their snobbery and discrimination is a major contribution to the housing crisis, I really think Estate agents need to be made to have a duty of care as they deal with a lot of vulnerable people and just sometimes not able to cope with the home seekers or have any empathy, hope the RRB will cover that aspect of housing

Both Ajay and Nishi have been tremendous in their approach to the task of obtaining a good tenant when our Property was up for renting again . Ajay suggested repair work where it was needed , using common sense and saving monies as and when it was feasible . Nishi had worked tirelessly to ensure that the whole process went smoothly . This required discipline, constant effort and faith and confidence . Winkworth is a great company . Nishi has worked selflessly and is a ‘ live wire ‘ . This emanates from the leadership quality of Ajay who has also shown ample purity of thought , enthusiasm and equanimity. Excellent 10/10

TrustpilotFalse information and messed up system
This company has automated viewing booking system from its website. They have the earliest time set as 9 in the morning and the opening time shown on their website is from 9 am as well. However, when I drop by for the viewing, there was nobody, and the auto message from their contact says they'd open from 9:30 only.

TrustpilotAvoid
My initial valuation went really well - one of the directors came to see the flat and was extremely professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Aside from the excellent photography, this is the only positive thing I have to say about my experience with Winkworth. As soon as my sale was passed on to the office team, things went downhill. Viewings were held by different members of staff, there was no continuity, and on a couple of occasions it was clear staff had not even done basic research into the property (one called me up after a viewing to ask if we had recently renovated the flat - this information was included in the Rightmove description. We had done a complete refurb - a fact I think that prospective buyers would definitely want to know).Calls weren’t returned, communication between staff and from staff to myself was consistently poor. I didn’t feel like the main person in charge of my sale had a good grasp of the process and perhaps this was due to being new. My buyer felt the same and eventually we started emailing each other directly regarding the sale, as it was so much easier than dealing with Winkworth. I honestly felt like I wasted thousands of pounds and could’ve got the same result with purple bricks.

TrustpilotAhmed & Yasmin were great
We recently begun a tenancy with Winkworth and everything has gone super smoothly. I was previously living with friends before moving in with my partner and the difference in our experiences with securing a property was vast. We had no issues at all from start to finish and both Ahmed & Yasmin were helpful and clear with any of our questions and thoughts. Looking forward to having Winkworth as our agent for the future as if everything carries on as it has been up to now, they will be far better than any agency we've dealt with before.

TrustpilotHighly recommend and so pleased we chose Winkworth
Just a note of excellent review for Winkworth Kensal Rise/Queens Park. Andy at Winkworth was fantastic with incredible hard work, commitment, expertise, and skills at keeping us sane, that we relied on so much during our rather challenging sale process. We were massively pleased that we had chosen these guys as our agent. From the initial meeting where manager Stewart was the only person who really took the time to consider the best pricing approach and strategy (out of 11 potential agents!), and then Andy being fantastic from start to finish, knowing just when to be patient and when to push. We felt in incredibly safe hands. Sincerely, thank you.

TrustpilotWinkworth Kensal Rise - honest, responsive and practical
We first bought our property from Winkworth Kensal Rise in 2014. There were two properties on the same street and by comparison our Winkworth agent was up front, transparent and reliable. Fast forward 7 years later, we have let our property through Aaron again at Winkworth Kensal Rise. Again, Aaron and his team have been honest, practical and responsive. Our tenants also seem happy so far. I have also recommended Aaron to friends in the area!

TrustpilotExcellent customer service
Having dealt with several other agents over the years, Natasha, Hannah and the team at Winkworth Tunbridge Wells showed me just how good an estate agent can be. They are friendly, attentive and proactive - offering suggestions and advice, they carefully managed the process, taking care of all the details through to the successful sale. I can certainly say that I would never use any other agent to sell a property for me. Thank you Winkworth TW, I could not have wished for a better service.

GoogleCannot begin to say how nice Winkworth East Dulwich were to deal with when we recently moved into a rental (April 2017). Amazing service and communication. Kept us in the loop at all times. Kelly was a star and kept on top of things even though she was really busy. Restored our faith in letting agents. True 5-star service!!! UPDATE - Moved out from our rental in March 2020. So we were there for almost 3 years. In that time we've had to contact and speak to Winkworth East Dulwich on numerous occasions. The biggest compliment I can provide them is that they have retained a 5 star rating over 3 years!! Exceptional customer service, friendly and efficient staff, even when I locked myself out they were nothing but first class! Then there has been check out in the middle of COVID-19. Accomodating, informative, helpful are all words I would use to describe the team in East Dulwich. Particular thanks to Kelly and Gemma over the course of our tenancy. You know when to be professional, when some humour helps and you've gone against every sterotype of your "typical" Estate Agent. Thank you for being so friendly over the course of our tenancy. Stay safe :-)

GoogleThe Winkworth team is friendly, knowledgeable and excellent at what they do. We have sold with Winkworth twice and each time the service has been excellent from the point of valuation, finding a suitable buyer through to completing the transaction. I would not hesitate to work with them again.

Steve Leevy has been very professional with the sale of my house. Steve is extremely diligent and kept me updated all the way through the sale process. I would highly recommend Steve and the team at Dartmouth Winkworths, what a fantastic team thanks for all your support and guidance.

GoogleI love the team at Winkworth. Over the last 20 years they have managed the rental on my flat, and stuck with me when selling was tough and got me a great deal on my final sale. They are committed to all their clients, and have become friends over the years. I would recommend Gemma and her management team, Alex, Ollie , Angharad, and all the team there without doubt or hesitation every time. Thank you all for you fantastic support, work, and laughs over the years.
