I chose Winkworth because of our agent, Yinka, who came across as down-to-earth, straight to the point, and pragmatic. He provided some quick useful insights into the current market by explaining how changes in stamp duty would impact first-time buyers and advised us on pricing strategies to maximise visibility on property websites. Other regional agencies focused more on boasting about their sales tactics and overinflated the value of our property to lock us into their contracts. While still, interest was slow with Winkworth, we still managed to get an offer at our asking price within the first three weeks. Based on this experience, I would recommend Winkworth.... Read more

Sky was amazing without her we would not have completed before Xmas. Our buyer was with the shambles that call themselves premier property lawyers!!! There systems were shut down and they have been a complete nightmare. Sky went over and above to contact them and the buyer almost daily. Meaning we didn't loose our onwards property of which we are so grateful. Jennie and Joe... Read more

This is the second time we have used Winkworth to sell a property. They remain to deliver a consistent and professional service. We were the victims of a long sales process (7 months) which Paul tirelessly fought to keep on track. We would still be in it if it wasn't for Paul going above and beyond his normal duties....

Winkworth Forest Hill (specifically, Kyle) were a pleasure to deal with when I was buying my first house. With the caveat that the agent is always working for the seller first and foremost in mind, Kyle was a great point of contact for us throughout the sale. He was responsive, helpful and did his best to keep everything moving along. Estate agents can get a bad rap, but everything here was professional and pleasant. Cheers!... Read more

From the first moment of viewing the property, to the point of actual exchange and completion, Kyle has been fantastic. Kyle was quick to pick any questions up, was happy to assist in any chasing that needed to be completed, and was always available for anything when I needed help. Buying a house is certainly a stressful process, but Kyle was always on hand to help when I needed it.... Read more

Winkworth at New Cross Gate oversaw renovations to my property 1n 2018. They then proceeded to act as property managers whilst it was rented out until March, 2021 when i placed it on the market for sale . They continued to act as my Estate Agents during this process and obtained the full asking price in August, 2021. Throughout these years I found them to be Professional, Considerate and highly efficient. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

We sold our house with Winkworth because they were recommended to us and because they valued our property significantly more than other local agents. Initially skeptical at their valuation we were stunned when Paul actually exceeded his initial guide price in less than a week. working with Kyle since then working towards exchange has been a genuine pleasure - very easy to communicate with, responsive, helpful and generally everything I'd come to not expect from an estate agent - when we hit bumps in the road he went out of his way to help resolve them and we're very grateful.
Would definitely recommend.
Side note - Kyle also recommended our solicitor to us (Adam at Knight Richardson) and they have also been brilliant - super happy customer and thanks for the recommendation!!... Read more

I brought a property at the height of the stamp duty frenzy, Winkworth were a pleasure to deal with and would proactively suggest beautiful properties that met my needs. We built a good relationship with clear and concise communication with the agents.
Kyle my agent helped me immensely in closing the deal by pushing the vendor to complete within the stamp duty closure date. He was very professional and helpful during a stressful time and most importantly delivered !
Total time from viewing to closing was 10 weeks. I would recommend Winkworth to any colleague / friend looking for a property in South East London.... Read more

Cannot recommend Winkworth, and Kyle in particular, enough. Throughout the twists and turns of the house buying process Kyle was consistently available, transparent and really went above and beyond to get the sale done, thanks to him we managed to pull off what was not a straightforward transaction with an outcome that was fair to all sides. I genuinely felt he had my back the whole time. If you’re looking to buy in the New Cross/Brockley/Forest Hill area then Winkworth is your company and Kyle is your man.... Read more

I used Winkworth to sell my one bedroom flat in Forest Hill. I spoke to three other agents, however none of them seemed as confident that they could get me the asking price I required, apart from Sean and his team.
The flat received two offers within the first week of it being on the market. This was particularly impressive given it was in July just after lockdown part 1. Thanks to Sean and the team for your professionalism, hard work and expertise, I’m so glad that I chose you.... Read more

I had the misfortune of having to deal with this company, who are now trading under the name of Alexander Charles and Brown, on two separate occasions. On each occasion they have been either unprofessional or incompetent. They charge both the landlord and the tenant astronomically high fees and then attempt to extort further funds at every available opportunity. Whilst this may be considered standard estate agent practice, this company compound the offence by offering the worst customer service imaginable, ranging from rudeness, lying/misinforming, not turning up at alloted times, avoiding and/or not returning phone calls.
Unfortunately, It is impossible to give a no star review.
I would advise anyone landlord or tenant to AVOID this company at all costs.
