Kensington office reviews:

  • 29 August 2017

    Excellent Service!

    Sabrina Percy helped me in my search for the perfect London pied-à-terre. She is the most professional and reactive real estate agent I have worked with. \nShe made sure to understand my needs, and submitted properties for my review, before taking me to visit the best available. \nWorking with her was effortless, efficient and a pleasure.

    Excellent, honest service

    One of the most trustworthy and genuine agents we have have had the pleasure of working with. Got to know all of the team, from renting to buying they really have been superb and gone out of their way to ensure both processes have been as easy as possible.

    Attentive and professional

    Have dealt with Josh over a number of years. He has has always been willing to help and give advice. Latterly also worked with Christine Reeves, who also showed great professionalism and a willingness to go the extra mile. \nHappy to recommend at any time!

    Helpful and communicative

    Sabrina at Winkworth went above and beyond to help me out as a newcomer to London and was extremely knowledgeable, communicative and helpful. It was a pleasure dealing with Sabrina!

    Very good service from the Lettings Team

    An overall very positive and pleasant experience, especially with Edward (Bernsted) who has been amazing in helping us with our search for the ideal property. Edward has been very responsive and pro-active, always going the extra mile to understand our needs and requirements, without being pushy or putting the pressure (unlike his manager who tried to close a deal on a property too soon, and put pressure on us in a slightly forceful way). He has been extremely professional and pleasant to deal with - and... I will miss his great sense of humour!

    Proactive and extremely helpful

    Sabrina at Winkworth went above and beyond to help find a place that would be suitable for all 3 of us. She went out of her way to send a multitude of properties to assess what were definite no's and what were good options. \nThis really helped in not wasting time viewings properties we would automatically say no to. \nWe initially went in looking for a 3 bedroom property which dropped to a 2. So, we weren't the easiest to cater to!\nEven when on leave, she made sure to provide us with contact details of her colleague who seemed well informed about our requirements. \nShe was very professional and didn't bombard me with calls like other agents. I made a point of asking to be contacted by email due to being so busy at work and she respected this wholly. \nWill definitely seek for her help should I need to move again. Many thanks!!

    Edward Bensted - Simply the best

    Edward Bensted is simply the best agent I have ever come across. He is dynamic, hard working, he gets what you want, doesn't waste your time and truly cares about making you happy! My experience has been exceptional. Even though we have been difficult and have even changed our search location or even presented him with new radical ideas re what we were looking for (and yes we are very demanding), Edward always accommodated us. He even made sure that the agents at the other offices that he put us in touch with were on the ball with us and always followed up after our visits if he couldn't accompany us (not only working hours but outside office hours too). My husband and I highly recommend Edward Bensted, as you would be lucky to have his service.

    Proactive and professional

    Quite simply THE most professional and proactive agent I came across whilst searching for a flat. Edward took time to understood what I was looking for which saved me a lot of time and frustration. He also knows a lot about the area and is well informed on the properties too. I have already recommended him to friends and business colleagues and will continue to do so.

    Josh and Caroline provided sound and balanced advice throughout the transaction. They are both experienced professionals and provide an excellent service. It was a pleasure to work with them both and I would have no hesitation about recommending them to others.

    Excellent performance

    I recently used Winkworth's Kensington Church Street Branch to sell a house in Abbotsbury Road. Winkworth's were excellent from start to finish. I had first met Josh Grinling when he had valued the property for probate purposes. He did this free of charge. We were thus already well disposed towards Winkworth. However their valuation for sale and sale plan was extremely professional and convincing and they were awarded the business. The pre-sale process was painless and we had the house ready for viewing along with sales details within a week. In another week, following multiple viewings, we had an offer and after a further week a sale. Throughout this period both Josh and Caroline were availabe to discuss progress, price etc. Once the sale had been agreed Josh remained attentive helping the purchaser when and where necessary. I would highly recommend the services of this estate agency. (AG)

    Attentive team delivering great service

    Freddie and the team at Winkworth went above any beyond to make my move a smooth one - across the board, the team is responsive and eager to please, which contributed to a stress free home search and move for me as a first-time renter in London. I would readily work with Freddie again, or recommend him to a friend.

    Satisfied Landlord

    Freddie Josh and Caroline are a fantastic team and definitely a cut above the other agents in the area. I have no hesitation in using Freddie as I have done for years on my rental property. He is attentive, professional and incredibly helpful.

    Professional, efficient and reliable

    Really attentive service with regular updates and prompt feedback. Winkworth achieved a top rental for my flat. Freddi's calm, professionalism mixed in with a refreshing dose of transparency were the initial reasons why I instructed winkworth to handle the rental of my flat. My calls and emails were always responded to promptly and advice given to me regarding timelines was very much appreciated and infinitely useful. Help and advice regarding short term rentals was also hugely appreciated. Thank you so much Freddi and also the rest of your lovely team!!

    Fantastic service from Freddie

    I have been dealing with many agents in the process of finding a flat to rent and Federico (Freddie) has simply been outstanding. He has helped my husband and I tremendously, with such professionalism. Clearly, he understands when to ask the right questions and he never tried to patronise us, hard sell to us or show us anything that was not what we had asked for. \nHe tirelessly searched for the right flat for us and we viewed many with him. Each one had the majority of aspects we were looking for. He was the only agent who we felt really listened to our needs. \nFreddie is an asset to Winkworth and an true example of professionalism, dedication, excellent communication, experience and knowledge. We highly recommend him.

    Top Dog. 'Thoroughly recommend'

    I bought my property in the heart of Kensington from Josh Gringling and Team, 10 years ago. And have been letting my flat since. Federico in particular, has done some amazing things for me. Finding a long term tenant that suited the bill. Not only are they absolutely professional and hit the target for their Landlords. They have the kindest most relaxed way of dealing with Landlords and tenants, to suit them both. With past experience with other agents, this is very rare to find. \nThoroughly recommended. A 'gem' of an estate agency. \nM Kamau.

    My father and I were extremely impressed by the service that he received from Winkworth throughout the sale of his property. The staff were professional and went out of their way to make a difficult process for an elderly man as smooth and painless as possible.

    Good service

    Whole office worked very hard to get my house sold and did all the legwork in terms of recommending services for me to assist and deal with all the paperwork. Very happy and I would definitely use them again.

    Commitment + Experience

    There are so many agents in our part of London and this makes it hard to choose when you haven't been in the market for so long. What really impressed us about Winkworth was Josh's commitment and experience (as well as his personality!); he lives in the area and has run the local Winkworth office for an age. And we weren't disappointed - a great result! Thank you Josh!
