    The team at Ferndown Winkworths were outstanding throughout the process of selling my late mother's retirement flat. Thankyou Rosella, Kate and the team. Rosella was a force of nature. She helped us to set a realistic price and timeline and was always happy to talk about any issues that arose. She was also exceptionally skilled at liaising with solicitors - her interventions always has a positive outcome in terms of moving the sale forward. We can't thank the team enough.

    With Rosella's help, we sold our home and moved (small chain) within 4 months. We chose Rosella for her clear communication and service. We worked on a straight forward plan together to swiftly move and prioritise this happening smoothly. This is exactly what happened and we are now settling in our new home and feel genuine gratitude for the professional and efficient way everything was handled. 100% recommend.

    We had an amazing experience selling with Ryan and Rosella at Winkworth Ferndown. They offered expert and accurate advice on pricing so we went to the market the time from listing to exchange of contracts was just 4 weeks! This is a well deserved and fully justified 5 star review.

    Just purchased a stunning and beautifully refurbished property through Winkworth Ferndown. There were a couple of bumps in the road on the paperwork side of things, but what was very much appreciated, was Rosella stepping in to smooth them out. She was efficient, attentive and responsive in resolving issues when they cropped up, sorting one hiccough out, literally in a matter of hours. Her efforts in pushing the sale through in a timely manner were highly valued. Thank you Rosella for a great service!

    I have just sold my property through Winkworth & I would honestly 100% recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell! Rosella, Kate & Holly are all extremely polite, professional & proactive, communicating everything to me through the entire process. They managed to sell the property at the first time of asking, consistently going above and beyond their duties to get the deal across the line, and made what is often considered an extremely tough and stressful time much more manageable. I cannot thank them enough!

    We had looked at numerous properties in the area, but nothing that my wife and I both liked. Rosella found us the perfect bungalow. We walked through the door and knew it was going to be our home. It matched exactly to our wish list. She filled us in with all the house details and gave us contacts for useful tradesmen. I would highly recommend Rosella if you are looking to buy in the Ferndown area.

    Best estate agent we have ever dealt with. So knowledgeable with all aspects of selling property. Gave good advise when needed and very professional. The staff are fantastic too and are a credit to the team. All in all would not hesitate to recommend to anyone selling in Ferndown. Thank you for a smooth sale and transition to our new home

    I confidently recommend Rosella and her team for the best experience I have ever had in selling a property ever and I have sold a few in my time. Her timely service to myself included her high knowledge of the local housing market; understanding her client’s needs; promptly securing ‘able to proceed’ buyers; providing an excellent, seamless, well oiled conveyancing process with very high attention to detail throughout the whole process to a successful end result. A marvellous estate agent who absolutely earned my complete confidence in what can be a difficult process. The service provided has most certainly been a 5* experience for which I again thank her.

    Ferndown

    Rosella (and her team) at Winkworth Ferndown have been absolutely superb in securing the sale of our house in Ferndown. At the outset, she was keen to understand our situation and suggested a realistic pricing strategy that reflected the stagnation in our market segment and the extremely difficult conditions/sentiment that were prevailing (rather than just pitching an unfeasibly high price to try to secure the mandate - which seemed to be the norm with other agents). She has been exemplary in communicating with us throughout the (long winded) process and in chasing along the (extensive) chain to track down and help resolve issues. The Winkworth business model means (I believe) that the Ferndown branch is Rosella's own business and her drive and commitment to it shine through in the service she and her team provide. We highly recommend Rosella and Winkworth Ferndown without hesitation.

    Rosella and her team at Winkworth Ferndown exceeded our expectations in every way. Their professionalism, expertise, and dedication to delivering exceptional results are truly commendable. From the initial valuation to the sale completion, Rosella kept us informed and supported throughout the entire process especially as we did not live in the area and were completely relying on her. We couldn't be happier with the outcome and would highly recommend Rosella and Winkworth Ferndown to anyone looking to buy or sell a property in the area.

    Who actually likes selling a house? Most people dread the process and that was me but Rosella took all the dread out of the experience. She went above and beyond to ensure the sale went through smoothly and efficiently, which it did, and I believe in record time. I cannot recommend Winkworth Ferndown highly enough, thank you to the whole team

    Winkworth were the second estate agent to market our property. The first were an absolute disaster inaccurate and hurried all the things you think when you hear the words ‘estate agents’! What a difference from Rosella and her team. Professional and accurate always responding to queries quickly. She marketed the property well gave sound advice and provided support and guidance when required. At the end when the deal nearly broke down she stayed calm and professional, professing surprise at buyers decision due to all the money already expended. She was correct, the buyers got their act together and we eventually exchanged and completed within a week at the price originally agreed. Excellent and highly recommended, if you need an estate agent in Ferndown Winkworths should absolutely be your first choice!

    We recently purchased a property under the management of Rosella Short at Winkworth. Rosella is a credit to Winkworth. She moved mountains to complete our purchase within 4 weeks. She was exceptionally helpful with us the buyers and demonstrated a personal sensitive approach with the elderly seller. In our opinion she was amazing. Donna and Andy, BH22

    At the end of last November we had to find ourselves a house - quickly! We had put our place in East London on the market and we soon had a buyer who was desperate to move in. We had decided to relocate to the New Forest area and booked a four day trip to view the homes we had shortlisted from Rightmove. The first viewing didn’t go well. The house was ludicrously overpriced and the agent very inexperienced. Not a good start. And then we met Rosella Short from Winkworth. She had arranged viewings of 3 homes in the Ferndown locale. We were impressed from the get go. A very professional, driven, intense yet engaging agent. Before we viewed the third one she described the house as a “lovely home”. She called it right, we absolutely loved it, carried on with our other viewings over the next few days but at the end of the trip on a Friday evening we called Rosella who managed our offer with the seller successfully. We went back to London tired but happy. Over the next 3 months as we worked on compiling the sale and purchase documents we kept in touch with Rosella who, with typical high energy, responded by return and guided us on the issues arising. If you want to sell your home in the Ferndown look no further, Rosella is very good at what she does and does what she says she is going to do. We would have given her 6 stars if we could

    Winkworth Estate Agents Ferndown and primarily Rosella were extremely professional, courteous & efficient throughout my purchase and I was always fully informed and up to date throughout the process. Despite many obstacles (caused by outside factors) I was always filled with a warm feeling of confidence thanks to Rosella who always had her finger on the pulse showing great commitment & professionalism throughout and made completion as smooth as it could possibly have been. Excellent professional company and I would thoroughly recommend their services. Paul.C

    I asked four estate agents to value my property and then I chose Winkworth estate agents in Ferndown. Rosella Short is friendly, efficient, professional and she guided me through to a successful sale in under four months. My first buyer wasn’t able to proceed as the chain fell down behind them. Rosella promptly found a new buyer and the sale was completed in just a few weeks. I would not hesitate to recommend Winkworth estate agents in Ferndown. A superb job, thank you.

    We engaged Rosella to market our property due to her clear depth of knowledge, her focus on the local market, and her well-considered valuation. Following prompt and thorough pre-launch work, including excellent photography, we received an asking price offer within one week. Rosella remained accessible, thoughtful and good-humoured throughout the contracting process. We could not rate the expererience any higher.

    Cannot recommend Rosella and her team highly enough. From the day she valued our property to completion Rosella went above and beyond, was always on hand to answer any questions we had and replied to emails really quickly seven days a week, even sorting and reassuring when there was a problem down the chain when nobody else could. Even now after we have moved she is still on hand if needed. If you are buying or selling she is definitely the one to contact. Thank you Rosella

    We recently completed the sale of our property in Ferndown. It clearly was a 'difficult' sale and the process took 10 months to complete. Throughout the sale period Rosella applied dogged persistence in regularly presenting potential buyers. All that persistence eventually paid off and our sale was smoothly completed, a service for which we are eternally grateful.

    We completed the sale of our flat in Ferndown last week thanks to the team at Winkworth and in particular to Rosella. She is the ultimate professional - ultra responsive, flexible & imaginative in handling the needs of buyer & seller. She goes the extra mile to make a sale happen and is always up to date with every step in the conveyancing process. We recommend her without reservation.

    There are so many estate agents online and otherwise that just thinking about it brings us to our demise. Then Winkworth's Rosella promptly came along with her and her team being historically strong. We had done our research, statistics and all that jazz, and only one stood out with real pizazz. This particular estate agent was selling left, right and centre while displaying professionalism, transparency and confidence; no one could prevent her. Within six weeks our house was sold, despite Liz Truss making the market go cold. From beginning to end this process drives me round the bend, but with Rosella, no worries; you can depend. From the bottom of our hearts to the tops of the trees, thank you for making our experience full of ease!

    Rosella was absolutely fantastic. We took her lead on setting a guide price for our 3 double bed property we were selling, rather that setting an exact price. That guide price was close to the minimum we wanted to achieve. She expected it to achieve significantly over. Rosella wasn't wrong. Within 1 week of listing we had 10 viewings planned. Come the day of viewing 4 offers by lunchtime 2 of which were well over the price she expected it to achieve. Rosella and the team at Winkworth are personable and the communication is good. She assisted with queries promptly and gave advise on our onward journey. I would happily use again and recommend to others.

    Due to my mum having to go into a care home, I needed her home to be sold pretty fast and at a fair price in order to help towards the costs. Within the first week Rosella arranged an afternoon of viewings which resulted in a number of offers, all above the asking price. The new owners were qualified by Rosella and they completed last week without any drama along the way. I have a professional relationship with Winkworth of which I am proud to be associated with and based on this sale and service received it was well founded. Thank you Rosella
