TrustpilotWorld Class
After initially receiving excellent service from Winkworth the second step in my rental process was overseen by Aoife Quail. There was transparency, communication and professional assistance throughout the process. This process wasn't an easy one, but for someone immigrating to the UK the service can only be described as WORLD CLASS.

Thank you for your review Patrick. All of the Winkworth offices are independently owned and operated and in this case I believe the office which you dealt with was Winkworth Reading. The owners are delighted that you found the service 'world class' and pleased that you found the Aoife's assistance to be of such high quality. Wishing you all the best in your new home.

Absolutely first class. James Wilkinson was superb. Deep market knowledge, helped us achieve a great price on our property, provided great advice on what changes were/ were not worth making, great communication throughout and superb instincts around how we should proceed in difficult situations.

TrustpilotBuyer of property represented by agent
As a buyer of a property represented by a Winkworth agent (Helga), the experience wasn't great. To her credit, Helga was quick to jump on the phone to speak. However, she also seemed to be a step behind the rest of the parties involved (sellers, buyers, and the two parties' respective solicitors), often needing us to update her on the latest with the process, rather than her liaising with the sellers or the solicitors directly and being a step ahead. Predictably, this caused massive stress and almost cost us the house in the last stages of the purchasing process. Worst of all, when asked to confirm things on the sellers' behalf, it seemed almost like she just said yes without actually checking with them, and then had to renege on her 'confirmation' days later. It's unclear whether this was a strategy to get the seller into a more favorable position (understandable, as the seller is her client), or general lack of communication on her part, but it certainly came off as unprofessional and made for a less pleasant buying experience than it could have been.

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.

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

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.

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!

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

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.

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!

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.

TrustpilotOpen 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.
