    Winkworth Barnes were brilliant

    Winkworth Barnes were brilliant from start to finish. Cameron and Donovan were very responsive, easy to work with and really knowledgeable about the area and the process. I'd happily recommend them to anyone buying or renting in Barnes.

    When you sell a beautiful family home that you have loved for 20 years you need to find an estate agent you can trust. \nWe chose Winkworths partly because they have a huge client base which would allow them to steer the correct buyers in our direction. \nThis is exactly what happened and our house sold above our expected sale price without even going on the market. \nThey were attuned to our needs and concerns, utterly dependable and professional throughout the whole process. \nThank you Cameron and Donovan.

    Amelia has been a great support throughout our time in Barnes. She has always been professional, friendly, and quick to help whenever we've needed anything. She's made the whole process so much easier, and it's been a real pleasure working with her. \nI would highly recommend Winkworth in Barnes, especially Amelia, to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable local estate agent. \n– Susanna

    Elm Grove Rd purchase

    We found Cameron to be pleasant and helpful from day 1. He wasn’t pushy at all, just courteous and accommodating.

    Great experience with Winkworth, especially Cameron.

    The whole process was smooth and well organised from start to finish. Cameron was very responsive, professional, and always willing to help with any questions I had. Communication was clear and timely, which made everything much less stressful.

    Honest, diligent and trustworthy. Added real value to each step of the process

    I have instructed the team at Winkworth in Barnes on buying, selling and renting properties. The whole team work together very well and bring a valuable local knowledge and market insight to the processes. They are honest, diligent and trustworthy and are great at anticipating each step of the process. They negotiate in clear, straightforward terms that engenders a respect on both sides of any exchange and work constructively with instructed solicitors which adds significant value and saves fees. They are always responsive and great at communicating and I have no hesitation in recommending them and will use them again in the future.

    A landlord's view

    Managing a tenancy can at times be a stressful task but Gill's continual help and support reduced the hassle and all has finally been successfully sorted. Thank you.

  • 26 February 2026

    The absolute best there is !

    We have entrusted our London home with Winkworths for well over 25 years, and have nothing but praise for the team in Barnes. Both Gill and Amelia are incredibly attentive, knowledgeable and professional. Their advice is always thorough and timely and they manage and coordinate contracts, home maintenance, and resident relationships (even the tricky ones) promptly and fairly. They are so pleasant to work with that I look forward to coming back to Barnes to see them as much as I do to visit my house !

    Amelia was FABULOUS!

    Amelia was professional but so warm and helpful, a friendly voice at the end of a phone call and always a pleasure to see. I will miss catching up with her but will pop into the office to say hello as she’s become a friend too.

    My experiences with Winkworth have been entirely positive throughout the buying process. In particular, Cameron was able to answer any queries promptly and in detail.

    Went above and beyond

    Donovan and John worked tirelessly to secure us a buyer during a very tumultuous market. Their availability and tenacity meant that we found a buyer and we are very grateful to them for the work they put in.

    Delivering the full value

    Donovan belongs to an increasingly rare breed. An estate agent with years of experience combined with the energy and persistence of someone still excited about delivering for their clients. His approach takes the seller's aims into account whilst also accommodating the buyer's needs. He goes the extra mile and never gives up. In a very difficult and volatile market (in the eye of the storm thrown up by the Covid pandemic) he delivered three robust offers where other agents faltered. He shepherded a Barnes record sale through at every stage and continues to deliver an after-sales service that is unprecedented.

  • 19 November 2020

    Friendly, very professional and genuine expertise!

    An excellent service from start to finish. All the staff are lovely to deal with, very friendly and professional. Donovan and John went the extra mile for us with our sale and got us a great price in a tough market. They are genuine offer a really personal, genuine service of the highest quality. We’d absolutely recommend them!

  • 30 March 2020

    Great Service; very patient and professional.

    The purchase took a long time due to the complexity of the property and Donovan showed patience when needed and also when to push things along politely.

    Brilliant service, unwaivering commitment

    Donovan was very committed to help us sell our property despite the difficult market. His communication and helpfulness never wavered.

    Professional, yet personal, service!

    The Winkworth's team were extremely professional but with a really personal touch as well. I was given sound advice and great guidance, leading to a really smooth transaction. I would have no hesitation in recommending Winkworth's to anybody looking to purchase or let a property.

    Fantastic Service by Diana Carter

    I never had such a great, fast informal and nice empathic service

  • 23 June 2019

    Superb service!

    Seamless, stress-free service with no fuss. We are abroad much of the year, and Diana took the reins and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Great advice, and sound, local knowledge was invaluable. Would highly recommend Winkworth, and Diana in particular for her attention to detail and responsiveness to our questions and concerns.

  • 21 June 2019

    Working with the Winkworth team made everything easy!

    From the moment I first picked up the phone to discuss the house we ended up buying, John was transparent and easy to deal with. My situation wasn't totally straightforward, and he and the team at Winkworth in Barnes did everything they could to help. I didn't have a property to sell, but from the buying perspective, I couldn't recommend them more. I felt in safe and helpful hands the whole way through. Many thanks!

    Great Experience

    Both John and Donovan were great. We sold our previous house with them and also purchased our new property. They were thorough, helpful and always available for questions throughout. Would highly recommend.

    Sale of family house whilst occupied.

    John and Donovan provided a lot of hepful, sensible advice. They managed our sale sensitively and effectively. I would recommend them wholeheartedly to you.

    John R

  • 03 June 2019

    I first used Winkworth many years ago to let our wonderful riverside Barnes flat. Di has over very many years been extremely personable and helpful, but completely understood that what I was really looking for was a great tenant who was unlikely to chop and change, thus avoiding void periods. Winkworth found us the ideal tenant, who then coincidentally went on to buy our flat when eventually I decided to sell !\nJohn in sales was extremely good at judging when to get involved in the sales process, and more importantly when not to, and this aided a very smooth process, which everyone seems to have ended up happy with. \nThanks again to the Winkworth team, who have become 'reliable friends' over the years, able to help advise where and when necessary, on various property and contractor-related queries. \nNigel

    The best agent in Barnes

    Donovan knows the market like the back of his hand. He knows everyone, knows the market and lives in the middle of Barnes. You can't do better.

    Donovan Kelly

    Donovan Kelly is a pleasure to work with as he is highly responsive to clients and has unparalleled knowledge of the local area as well as exceptional sales and transaction management skills that enable him to match the right buyer and seller.

    Donovan is excellent and always so very friendly. A personal service that is rare these days. Very reliable and efficient. This tiny and charming agency opens up a whole world of possibilities.

    Great service!

    John was extremely kind and helpful in getting the house of our dreams in lovely Barnes. He provided good advice during the whole process and everything went very smooth. \nI would definitely recommend Winkworth Barnes if you are looking for first class real state advice.

  • 30 May 2019

    Terrific personal service

    Impressed at first meeting by a truly in depth appreciation of the local market and what that meant for my prospective sale. These insights proved invaluable over a period of market turbulence. The personal service and high degree of professionalism provided by John gave me great reassurance throughout an inevitably difficult process.

    G Snowball

  • 30 May 2019

    Very good

    Donovan hung on in there when we were losing our nerve! He was quite right and his resilience won the day. \nWe were impressed and grateful.

    Dundas

    Recommended!

    Winkworth Barnes efficiently arranged the sale of my house in Barnes in a sluggish market after Savills had had it for nearly a year with no success. \nEven when Donovan was away the rest of the staff were well briefed and very professional. \nWhether true or not I was left with the distinct impression that Winkworth had less churn and more experienced personnel. Would use them again.

    Alex

  • 17 May 2015

    Only possible thanks to Donovan Kelly

    Without a shadow of a doubt, the ONLY reason that the vendor actually agreed to sell to me was thanks to Donovan's ingenuity which clearly comes from his experience in handling 'difficult' and demanding people; and his ability to think out of the box to make things work. I am in debt to him forever and it is thanks to him that I am living in my lovely house. \nI would, and will, highly recommend him to anyone and everyone.

    Katie Hill

  • 16 May 2015

    Donovan made it happen

    Donovan assisted us on both sides of the sale and purchase as both properties were Winkworth instructions. Due to the vendor, it was, we all thought, the most tortuous process of agreeing to purchase any of us had been through. Having secured a fabulous and patient buyer for our house, Donovan went beyond the call of duty to help us successfully exchange on the purchase of our new house. Many thanks Donovan.

    Best agents

    I will always use Winkworth. They know the area and they do their research. There's no unnecessary calling and pushing. They understand their clients and their requirements and they don't waste your time showing you houses that are not relevant. Nothing is too much trouble. Win win :-)

    Brilliant and trustworthy service from Donovan and team at Winkworth. They both rented property for me and sold a property. Always felt well advised, they listen carefully to your requirements and circumstances. No hard sell, no estate agent nonsense - just excellent service with results that exceed expectations.
