Aaron was extremely accommodating, responsive and helpful in assisting me to prepare for my upcoming move to London. I would highly recommend working with him.

I'm so glad I trusted Aaron and the Winkworth team to find a tenant for my home. Aaron knows the Queen's Park and Kensal Rise area inside out, and is extremely knowledgeable about tenancy regulations and contracts. He was responsive and proactive throughout, and often picked up the phone rather than relying on text, which made a stressful process feel calm and manageable. The wider team, Michael, Stanislava, Ayallah and Fabian, have been equally professional and quick to respond. A breath of fresh air compared with other estate agencies I've used. Highly recommended!

We worked with the Winkworth Kensal Rise & Queen’s Park team for over 7 years managing and letting our property, and throughout that time they were consistently professional, responsive and genuinely helpful. A special thank you to Aaron, Michael and the wider team who were always calm, pragmatic and a great sounding board whenever needed. Communication was excellent throughout and they made the whole process feel very well handled from start to finish. Really appreciated all the support over the years and would highly recommend.

We’ve had an excellent experience with our property manager, Michael Ferguson. He is consistently responsive and proactive, which gives us real peace of mind as landlords. Recently, when an electrical issue arose at the property, Michael attended in person and carried out an initial investigation himself. His willingness to step in directly and go above and beyond to resolve the situation quickly was truly appreciated. It’s a pleasure having Michael as our property manager. His professionalism, reliability, and hands-on approach make a real difference, and we would highly recommend him to others.

Shaun from the letting team was very professional and efficient in supporting us to rent a property in a very short timeframe. The overall experience has been brilliant, hassle free with clear communication, prompt with a sense of care. I will be highly recommending this branch.

Aaron and his team came highly recommended so I initially approached him just to compare the rental market just for peace of mind as I was on the cusp of renewing my existing arrangement. I quickly realised I had not been enjoying his level of professionalism and was comparing "apples to pears" and quickly had a change of heart! Aaron is highly knowledgeable, professional and has a great team behind him. His grasp of all the complexities of the new Rental Act was reassuring, and his understanding of the local market is deep and pragmatic. Once the contract was agreed, the team acted quickly and my property was let on the first weekend of viewings. Everyone I met throughout the process (Stanislava & Fabian from Winkworths, plus all the associated teams for certification) have been great. Their company culture is evident and I feel their approach has been fair and balanced, meeting both my terms and the needs of my tenants and have no hesitation in recommending the team based on my experience to date. Thank you

The agents that helped me very were personable and professional. The agent who showed me properties ( Fabian Bachelor) worked diligently to show me properties that fit what I was looking for. I was successful in finding one and I am grateful to Winkworth Kensel Rise & Queen's Park Estate Agency.

Exceptional service and absolute professionalism! I cannot recommend Winkworth Kensal Rise & Queen’s Park highly enough — and in particular Aaron Priscott, Lettings Director and Business Owner. I have known Aaron for over two decades, and throughout that time his professionalism, integrity, and generosity with advice have always been exemplary. Working with him again on letting my flat in Kensal Green only confirmed what I have long known: he operates to the very highest standards. From the outset, Aaron and his team were extraordinarily thorough. They ensured that every certificate was in place and that the property fully complied with all current regulations. Nothing was overlooked. Their attention to detail gave me complete confidence that everything was being handled properly and responsibly. The marketing was superb — the photographs were beautifully done and presented the flat at its very best. I was kept informed about every viewing, with clear and prompt communication throughout. Their level of organisation and transparency was outstanding. What impressed me most was the genuine dedication and work ethic. Aaron and his team were unfailingly polite, proactive, and supportive, offering thoughtful and highly professional advice at every stage. Their experience and calm guidance made the entire process smooth and reassuring. It is rare to encounter estate agents who combine efficiency, deep expertise, courtesy, and personal integrity to this degree. Winkworth Kensal Rise & Queen’s Park truly represent the gold standard in lettings. With my highest recommendation and sincere thanks, Dr Alexander Goldscheider

I’ve recently moved into a rental flat where Winkworth are managing. The whole experience has been really refreshing with honesty and transparency regarding ongoing and planned building work next door. This was fully discussed so no supposes after moving in. Communication has been great and the flat beats my expectations. Been an absolute pleasure dealing with Aaron, Fabian and the winkworth Kensal rise team. Thank you

Aaron and Michael from the Lettings team were great. They found me a great tenant. The property was well managed during the eight years they lived there. When I decided to sell, Gurdeep and Frazer from the sales team found me a buyer quickly and the sale was managed very well from their side, the only delay was due to the buyer's solicitor. Yanick in accounts has also been very helpful over the years. Many thanks to all!

Aaron at Winkworth has been professional, polite, informative and helpful throughout the entire process of viewing, marketing and finding tenants for my flat. From the moment I spoke to him on the phone he was responsive and I felt reassured that I was dealing with a person (and agency) who take their business and clients seriously and with the utmost integrity which gave me peace of mind in the ever changing climate of rental property in London. Aaron was at the end of a phone to answer and discuss throughout the process. I couldn’t recommend Winkworth and Aaron highly enough.

I’ve had an excellent experience with Aaron and his team. They have managed my rental property with professionalism, efficiency, and genuine care. Communication has always been clear and prompt, and they keep me informed about everything from tenant applications to maintenance updates. What I appreciate most is their attention to detail and how smoothly they handle the entire process—from marketing the property and screening tenants to making sure rent is collected on time. They’ve taken the stress out of being a property owner and have consistently looked out for my best interests. Thanks to their team, my property stays well-maintained and occupied by reliable tenants. I highly recommend their services to any property owner looking for trustworthy and hassle-free rental management. Thank you Lisa

Aaron managed everything related to renting my flat. After visiting a lot of estate agents in the area, Aaron was the one that was there to help me decide what I should do with my flat, and he gave me a detailed plan of the expenses. They helped find tenants and sort out all small details throughout the renting process. All the folks in the office were prompt and precise. Overall I feel that I am in good hands.

My wife and I took a stroll up Chamberlayne Rd in Kensal Rise to various estate agents in search of a new flat to let. Fabian from Winkworth listened to our requirements and was able to show us a property on the spot, not wasting our time with suboptimal properties. Moving is stressful, and the process from offer to signing the contract always takes longer than you want it to, but Fabian brought a sense a calm and reassurance throughout. Thanks Fabian and Aaron for taking care of us.

I am a landlord in the Willesden Green area and would like to give a very positive review of the superb service I receive from the Winkworth. The team in the Kensal Rise and Queens Park office are always extremely supportive and always on hand to provide guidance especially with the current changes in the private rental sector. This service extends to dealing with any maintenance issues, prompt statement sending and tenant changeover, so basically the whole package for a landlord. I would also like to give a name mention of my main contacts at the office, Aaron, Fabian, Stanislava, Michael and Yanick who are always so pleasant and accommodating to do business with.

Winkworth sold me a flat ten years ago, found excellent tenants and managed it efficiently. Michael, who managed the accounts, is friendly and conscientious. Aaron, who let it out, was excellent.
