Oh dear, I dont even know where to start. We signed the agreement end of June to move in one month later. We stipulated several times in the email correspondences that we wanted to come in to see which furniture and items we wanted to keep and which to toss. The day of the move in happened, and we never received a response to our queries (the agent went on holiday without telling us and the new woman taking over, was all in all very unreasionable). When we moved in, we were then told that we had not specified in the contract, which items to get rid of (we specifically wrote in the contract: to be specified later – hence why we needed access to the flat prior to moving in – and this request was accepted by the agent). It was a hassle to get the woman to cooperate and she kept saying we hadn't agreed on this (numerous emails/contract were not enough proof (I bet some contract lawyers would disagree)). Ah well!!! After several unpleasant calls, we finally managed to get the approval of moving the items and have the larger items removed by a company. But boy oh boy that was a struggle and time consuming. After having moved in properly a vast majority of the things listed in the contract hadn't been fixed ie. Heating was broke, cabinets broken, extractor fan broken, windows dirty etc etc. And we even had to throw out 6 large boxes of CRAP – which the agency said was at our expense. Items included: old shoes, belts, broken kitchen units, bondage kit (WOOOOH.. What a surprise), filthy storage room with empty shoe boxes, broken fans, blood stained linen, dirty old pillows and blankets and numerous other fairly disgusting items. We have now asked quite a few times, when we can expect to have fans, toilet flush, extractor fan, broken cabinets, heating etc fixed and we are still awaiting a reply to this. It has been 7 business days since we moved in, so I do hope it gets sorted soon and the agency improves. I really didnt think having these items binned prior to moving in was a huge ask. All in all, TERRIBLE SERVICE!! I wouldn't recommend.

Agency has a very poor communication system. Messages are not consistent. From the minute they secure my holding confirmation messages started being inconsistent. Information given about documents required for securing the rent and being able to moved it changed all the time, employees are not... Read Full Review

I met Woody at a viewing of a flat that I found on Rightmove. The property did not really meet my expectations, but when I briefly described my needs, Woody offered me another one. He was doing his best to offer me a good flat. He was helpful and honest and also well informed about things like the... Read Full Review

I instructed Winkworth Pimlico office to sell a split level top floor flat on behalf of an overseas client. We agreed a sale above the asking price within days of marketing. However, the buyer quickly withdrew and we subsequently went back to the market and received multiple bids and achieved... Read Full Review

I can not recommend Edward highly enough. As a search agent we work with many agents and not all are that helpful. Edward went above and beyond the call of duty. He was good at updating myself and my client and was always contactable. Edward was also very good at being the middle person and... Read Full Review

I would like to commend both Woody and Jonathan for the following points: 1 - when I had a low offer of rent Woody sold me the idea that I should accept. When I asked for a lower commission charge Jonathan was flexible and gave it to me. 2 - When I was shocked that your company should want to ... Read Full Review

I just bought a lovely flat in Pimlico. Sara Lowry did help me on that transaction. I must say that having dealt with various agents, Sara was particularly reactive and proactive, keeping me updated on the status of the deal. And this from the first time I went to see the property until we... Read Full Review

Sara showed us around the property on the day it came to the market and when the purchase process went to sealed bids she was very helpful in explaining the issues that were of importance to the seller. When our offer had been accepted she handled Winkworth's part in the transaction efficiently... Read Full Review

We recently bought our house through Winkworth in Pimlico. Sara Lowry was our agent and the transaction was deftly and skillfully backed up by Jonathan Joy. This was a difficult transaction but Sara could not have been more brilliant at keeping the seller on board and keeping the purchase together. ... Read Full Review

Lucy was absolutely brilliant in helping us find a property in the area, and we found a great place within the first couple of days. She wasn't trying to push a sale- her honest advice was helpful, and we couldn't have asked for a better lettings agent, particularly following our bad experience... Read Full Review
Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.
No procedure set.
