False 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.

Avoid

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.

Ahmed & 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.

Highly 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.

Winkworth 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!

Excellent 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.

I just exchange on a flat through Winkworth Shoreditch. Dhruv and Sean have been really patient with us and very professional through a somewhat protracted transaction (difficult market, specific circumstances, etc). They have always been very responsive at short notice and made sure there was no miscommunication between the different stakeholders - seller, solicitors, valuations, lender, etc. I would recommend them and would not hesitate to work with them again.

Steve Leevy has been very professional…

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.

Nishi Shah at Winkworth

Nishi Shah at Winkworth, Kinsbury is great at customer service. I was very impressed with how helpful and attentive she was, as to what I required and requested as a customer. Nothing was too much trouble. I would recommend using Winkworth.

Open houses for rentals - no thanks!

This company clearly values the wealthiest tenant over the right kind of tenant.Winkworth is regularly hosting ‘open house’ viewings of rental properties. Potential tenants are bundled into houses in groups or made to stand outside queuing to get in and then encouraged to bid against each other in a bidding war and actively encouraged by the agent to place a higher offer than the advertised rent. Not only is this process discriminatory but it pushes people who may already be stretching their budgets to stretch them even further. Rents advertised should be the rents tenants commit to. If a landlord is keen to earn more than the advertised rent then it should be advertised as ‘offers over’ and the potential open house viewings made explicit. Really disappointed in Winkworth and am searching for an agent who values their customer not merely their wallet.

Outstanding Service

Thomas Syms was a fantastic agent who made the process of selling my slightly complicated flat smooth and trouble free. I don't think the sale would have gone through without his dedication.

Angela and her team are AMAZING

Angela and her team are AMAZING! She secured a very quick sale for my house achieving a good amount above the asking price and helped me secure my purchase under the asking price. But where they really really shine is the personal service ironing out the ‘impossible’ scenarios. I was going through a tricky personal time with my Mum in hospital when a neighbour started misbehaving about a nasty notifiable weed which looked as if it would completely scupper the sale, she stepped in with advice, support and telephone numbers.They offer a polite, honest efficient service, so helpful and I contact as a friend as well as a BRILLIANT Estate Agent.No hesitation to recommend.

Excellent service

I let my property through Winkworths in Kensal Rise.I recently had the property completely refurbished and decorated. Michael did a brilliant job of organising all the tradesmen and making the process quick, efficient and very smooth. His input and suggestions were extremely helpful. Aaron also did a brilliant job of getting the property let quickly. The process was very professional and efficient. They are always very friendly and helpful to deal with.

Winkworths have worked on my behalf for 7 years now and I have found them to be consistently hard working, determined and passionate. I have found the Sales Directors in sales and lettings to be just so much keener and more imaginative than the competition. Most recently I have been lucky enough to deal with Sean Ward who was outstanding. The communication at all levels with Winkworth has been consistently brilliant, they are collaborative and easy to work with. Above all they are embedded in the area, understand the local market better than the competition and understand what makes it so appealing to buyers and renters.

Thomas Syms - Breath of fresh air!

Thomas Syms, take a bow! An ultra-professional from first meeting right the way up through to exchange and settlement. Plenty of obstacles from the bank, valuer and wider economy, but you took the problems in your stride and showing a level of calmness and pragmatism that will see you go far in your industry. Cannot thank you enough for the clear instructions and prompt reply to my (million) questions! Looking forward to working with you again at some point in the future. Cheers, Simon.

Awful!!! Please use ANYONE else!

They don't even deserve the one star but you have to put it to be able to leave a review. Awful doesn't come close to their service!!First time for us selling a house and the branch manager convinced us they were the ones to do it. Promised us "professional photographs", "dedicated sales team", "great communication and follow up from viewings" and "expert sales agents".We received literally NONE of what he promised. The photographs were not great, let alone professional. The estate agent using a professional level camera, does not equate to professional photos. Some of them weren't even focused properly, they were taken at very poor angles and the first photo that everyone saw online, which was of the front of the house, had almost the entirety of the neighbour's house in it! So people didn't even know which house was for sale!! Even one of the people viewing made that comment when they got to the house. As for communication and follow up from Winkworth, there was none. We unfortunately had to chase them for ANY feedback and even then we just got poor excuses of they "hadn't spoken to them yet" (6-7 days after a viewing), "we left a message" etc. We're not the kind of people that get offended if someone doesn't like the house enough to buy it, but the agent should at least let the client know if the viewer didn't want to take it any further. We were even told that a couple of the viewers were "very keen" yet had zero follow up on them. One couple who we were told were "super keen" even had a follow up question for us regarding broadband speed, for which the answer was "gigabyte high-speed fibre" which is the most positive answer you can get and then. . . nothing. No follow up call from the agents like they'd promised they'd give us.One of the agents Max, was great and he was the only positive thing about the entire experience with Winkworth, but even he didn't follow up from the viewers follow up question, just left us hanging.The sales agents are honestly nothing more than a poor mans tour guide. Giving bad advice like "knocking through into the garage" for more living space (which is actually taking away space to do that), instead of suggesting a conservatory or small extension. 🙄Also, how difficult is it to turn lights off after a viewing?! Given the current extortionate charges for electric it is simply unprofessional not to turn lights off, not to mention costing the client money. The branch manager of the Hellesdon office is utterly patronising, condescending and goodness does he love to mansplain!Please, please save yourself the disappointment and frustration and use a different estate agent. Don't waste any time with Winkworth, get yourself someone who will actually do the job properly and professionally and sell your property.

We have just used Winkworth Shoreditch to sell our flat. They were efficient, friendly and flexible and really made the process easy for us. The photographer was great and we had lots of interest through them. Once we found a buyer they kept involved and were very helpful in keeping us up to date and giving us useful advice on more than one occasion. Would highly recommend
