Winkworth are incredibly unprincipled - having agreed to take a property off the market after we had our offer accepted, they did not do this, and communicated a resulting higher offer to the vendor (after everythign was in place). I would not recommend using them ...

Bunch of wide boys who tempt you in by quoting high valuations but then insist on high commission and hedge their view. 2.5% in Central London as a starting point? Nice job if you can get it! And they wouldn't drop below 2%. Didn't get my business....

Winkworth took over management of our property half way through the full tenancy period (over 3 years). Once they took over, we found response to problems slow, but not terrible. Check-Out, however, was a nightmare - they must think tenants and landlords have just crawled out ...
