I sold my Highgate (London) property through Winkworth, with whom I had also previously rented the same property. We were nervous about selling given the difficult economic period and downturn in UK sales market. However the manager for the Winkworth's Highgate office, James Wilkinson, handled the sale to a high standard of professionalism throughout and demonstrated a spot-on understanding of the market. He suggested the ideal sale price in the current market and estimated the time needed to complete. Both proved accurate: a buyer was found within less than a month and the property sold at asking price. James' proactive follow-up with the buyer and management of the exit of the tenants was very helpful in steering the sale to conclusion on time without hiccups. He responded to emails promptly and was available to speak whenever needed. Overall, an agent with integrity and knowledgeable experience of the market. Highly recommended.

Top class service from James Wilkinson and his team from Winkworth. I purchased a flat through them eight years ago and they have just now sold it for me despite the difficult market conditions. The team has a wealth of experience which far outstrips that of many youngsters in the trade. James will always go that extra mile to get the best for his clients.

I have had a relationship with the team at Winkworth Highgate for over 10 years now. This has included 2 sales as well as a period of managed letting. I have found them to be dedicated, courteous, personable and easy to reach. But more so, on several occasions I have experienced them going the extra mile, which is immensely supportive when one is dealing with properties whilst living so far away. Recent economic and market conditions have ratcheted up the pressure in the housing sector, putting a lot of strain on both buyers and sellers. I was grateful to have such a dedicated team in our corner during such a time.
Reviews:
We had a pleasure to work with James as tenants and later as buyers. We can not be thankful enough to James for being always there for us and going above and beyond to solve any questions arising along the way. We were receiving very professional and prompt advice, coordination with other stakeholders was extremely efficient and on the highest level. We would highly recommend James as an incredible professional and a wonderful person to work with.
Reviews:
It is not everyday you sell a property but when you do your hope is that the agent really listens to your needs and objectives. I felt very much that James and Daryl did that superbly. Both work interchangeably and the internal communication alone is exemplary as no matter who I was dealing with they were very much on top of latest developments. I found them to be in really professional and responsive and although the first sale disappointingly fell through they were very much on the case with creative solutions to get a sale as quickly as possible. They communicate very effectively right to the end so you are always very well informed Winkworth come highly recommended and if I wasn’t relocating I would certainly have used them to find a new home. Thank you.

Our sale was fraught with difficulties, unexpected incidents and numerous setbacks. James and Daryl were supportive, diligent, reliable informative and good humoured throughout. They never failed to respond to our emails or calls. We were always welcome at the Highgate office. They worked very hard to achieve the successful outcome.

We can’t recommend James and the team highly enough. They’re really experienced and knowledgable about property in the area and offer an extremely friendly and professional service. They worked with us to determine a fair price for our property and it was sold within a matter of weeks. Their communication was great throughout the process.

We are extremely happy with the service we received from Winkworths when dealing with the sale of my late mother-in-law’s property. From the moment we met James Wilkinson when he came to do the probate valuation we knew we that we wanted Winkworths to handle the sale. It was an extremely difficult time for us and as well as his appreciation of the apartment he was also calm and respectful of our loss which meant a lot to us. We were also very impressed with his 30+ years knowledge of the Highgate property market. Daryl Ditchburn was a joy to work with and his and James’s skills matching the right clients to the property plus his enthusiasm, expertise and good humour resulted in multiple offers within days of going on the market. The photographs were also excellent and showed the apartment beautifully. It turned out not to be a straightforward sale due to the complexities of probate and there were various challenges along the way to say the least! Daryl took them all in his stride and gave great advice, kept calm and good natured at all times and we felt very supported throughout. He also managed to make what was a hugely stressful process quite enjoyable! We are thoroughly delighted with the outcome and can highly recommend Winkworths – we will definitely use them again in the future.

We bought our house through Winkworth Highgate and then due to sad circumstances we had to sell it again only a year later. Daryl came to view the property and gave us some excellent advice about how to prepare it for sale, and James then managed the sale itself, securing us an over-asking-price offer less than a week from listing. We were unlucky with our first buyer and James’s advice was excellent throughout (he did warn us about the buyer from the very beginning!), allowing us to move on and find a second buyer within 48 hours this time (James had already lined them up)! From start to finish, James was incredibly effective and professional, replying to emails almost immediately, passing information efficiently and doing a brilliant job of fielding questions and negotiating on our behalf. We ended up selling our house for about £100k more than we had initially thought we might get, which is going to be a massive help at a difficult time, thanks to James, Daryl and the Winkworth team!

James and Daryl made the process of selling our beloved home as painless as possible. This began at our first meeting, when they took account of our specific requirements and gave clear advice on how to go about achieving them. Equally, they were just as frank and straightforward if they thought our expectations were unrealistic. This continued throughout the whole process. The viewings they arranged were focussed and executed with due consideration, and their response to the circumstances created by the pandemic was reassuring to both ourselves and I am sure, to the many interested viewers they brought to our home as well. There is no substitute for local knowledge and these agents clearly have a deep understanding of the local market as well as having positive and long-standing relationships with clients. All in all, we can't fault Winkworths on this transaction. and would like to thank them for their efforts on our behalf.

Reviews:
We recently completed on the purchase of a two bedroom flat in Highgate with the support of James. Our situation was complicated by the fact that our mortgage took over 12 weeks to be confirmed and this had the potential to create a lot of uncertainty both on ours and the sellers side. James was incredibly helpful from the beginning in facilitating a healthy dialogue with regular updates from both sides with honest feedback. James and his team were always quick to respond to communication with a professional attitude whilst maintaining a very human tone. I sincerely believe that if such a dialogue had not been as well managed, we may not be in the situation we are now which is very happy in our new home. I would thoroughly recommend Winkworths Highgate and should we choose to sell the property in the future, we would happily return to James and the team to manage this.

Initially Winkworth was tasked with renting and managing our property and this was done so effectively for several years. They were then asked to market and sell the property. We could not have asked for a more professional, thorough, helpful and approachable Company. James / Winkworth made the whole process easy and I would not hesitate to call on their services again.
Reviews:
Winkworth's provided us with a very professional service from start to finish and exceeded our expectations. They managed all aspects of the sale in an excellent manner providing timely communication which gave us the confidence and reassurance we needed as remote sellers from the north of England. They were always prepared to go the extra mile. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Highgate branch.
