My family has used Winkworth on several occasions. They are a small team who work well together and provide a professional, friendly and top class service. I have just completed on my sale and the communication has been outstanding, not just with me, but with agents and solicitors in the chain. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending them. Big thanks to Richard, Alison, Catherine and Andrew.

Catherine at Winkworth's was dealing with the house we wanted to purchase. From the very beginning she was very accommodating around the viewing times because of mine and my partners work commitments, she was enthusiastic and friendly and never put any pressure on us. Fast forward to once we had made an offer and I have to say that if it hadn't been for her and our agents then its likely the purchase would of fallen through due to solicitor faults. She was persistent with all parties involved, kept us up to date when needed and remained determined to get the job done so the sellers and us could get the dream houses over the line which finally after months of challenges we got there. I would highly recommend her if you want someone passionate and driven and someone on your side and we thank her for all her efforts. Paul & Rachael

We have had a fantastic experience with Catherine at Winkworth during the purchase of our house. From the first viewing through to completion she was incredibly helpful, always available to answer questions and keep us updated. She has been especially helpful in letting us view the house several times with builders, so we could measure up and be ready to start the refurb on the day of exchange. That flexibility and support has made a huge difference to us. Catherine really went above and beyond and we are very grateful for her hard work. I would happily recommend Catherine and the Winkworth team to anyone looking to buy a home.

By a distance, this has been the best estate agent experience I've worked with over the years. Everything about Winkworth's is professional, its polite, its pleasant. More than anything else, they work with an efficiency that stands out above the other estate agents. Winkworths turn aspirations into realities, problems into routine and I cannot rate them highly enough. Thanks in particular to Andrew for looking after our move from minute 1 always available to help when needed.

We have recently completed on our property and as first time buyers we had no idea what to expect but Catherine kept us up to date so regularly which really put us at ease. Every single process we felt was so smooth sailing due to Catherine being so attentive and genuinely just very caring about our situation and getting us in our property as quickly and smoothly as possible. We couldn’t of asked for anything more to be honest, the whole thing from start to finish has been a pleasure and even now, Catherine has still been checking in on us to check everything is ok. Would highly recommend Winkworth, all of their staff are incredible, kind and professional in so many ways. Thank you Catherine, Andrew and the rest of the team that dealt with me calling to ask questions 5000 times a day. Your patience is something I wish you have!! Ha. We appreciate you so much.

From The start of our purchase Andrew & the team at Banstead Winkworth were professional approachable and consistently calm & facts driven. We all know buying & selling can be extremely stressful but the whole team at Winkworth kept everyone in their seats. Bad agents … slow solicitors we had it all in our chain but Winkworth kept us all moving forward. We got there in the end but in no small part to these guys who went that extra mile for the whole chain: I recommend them whole heartedly whether selling or purchasing!

From start to finish Winkworth in Banstead were nothing short of fantastic. Alison took us for 2 viewings - she was friendly, professional and knowledgeable. This wasn't an easy process, with a unstable chain breaking down and causing delay after delay over an 8 month period. Andrew (Branch Manager) called me weekly to give updates, and was always professional and affable for both good news and bad. Andrew was our main source of information as none was forthcoming from our conveyancer, and Andrew worked tirelessly to keep us informed particularly as we approached exchange. Thank you Winkworth for securing us such a lovely home. I fully recommend you with 5 stars.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Winkworth Banstead to sell my property, and I can't recommend them highly enough! From start to finish, Richard, Andrew, Donna, and Alison provided an exceptional service. We had three valuations with local agents and I found Richard to be the most honest and sensible. He had a lot of experience and knowledge about the local area which gave me a lot of confidence. Donna, Alison & Andrew handled the viewings perfectly and were always available to answer questions and keep us updated every step of the way. Due to some challenging market conditions and some issues in the chain later down the line the property took a little longer to sell than we had hoped but the whole team remained steadfast in their approach worked tirelessly to get the sale over the line. We are extremely grateful to them for all of their efforts and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to sell or purchase a home.

I can't praise the team at Winkworth enough, Allison, Richard and Andrew are all great at their roles, from getting buyers in the door, negotiating on a sale price to progressing the sale to completion. Getting a sale isn't the end of the journey...you need people like the team at Winkworth to make sure the sale doesn't breakdown, and progresses smoothly so that all parties are kept informed. If I was to ever move again I'd definitely choose Winkworth. They marketed and sold our house at the right price!!! Thank you all, with an extra special mention to Allison!! 5 stars is not enough for you!!

We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Winkworth Banstead; we switched to Winkworth after our chain collapsed. Nikki and team were swift to put a process in place and were on top of every lead in every way. They were honest with feedback and were clear on next steps and the likelihood of buyers committing. 5/5!

Exceptional service from start to finish Nikki & I were faced with many obstacles initially, however the prompt turnaround of sale and the communication between myself, NIkki & Richard was everything and more.

I’m so grateful for Nikki’s hard work and seeing everything through to completion Thank you again Jane McGInty

Excellent proactive and caring service by Winkworths from start to finish when purchasing our house - viewing was one of the most professional ones we went to (and we had a year of them), offer placement handled very sensitively given the state of the housing market at the time, and conveyancing process supported above and beyond with Nikkis proactive approach. 100% recommend. Thank you!

I can’t recommend winkworth estate agents highly enough our experience with them from start to finish was first class. In particular Nikki Gillbanks who dealt with the purchase of our first family home. Without her extremely hard work, going above and beyond her job role on a daily basis we wouldn’t have got to completion before our deadline. Thank you all so very much.

Winkworth handled both the sale of our house and the purchase of my own house within Banstead. After the first buyers dropped out shortly before exchange they managed to find a new buyer within a couple of days which meant that I was not going to lose my new property. I was very pleased with the reassurance that Richard gave me during the stressful process and Nikki worked very hard and efficiently to get everything sorted. I can highly recommend Winkworth Estate Agents and all their staff.

My partner and I recently completed the purchase of our first house together (partners second house) and we were absolutely delighted with the service we received from Winkworth - Banstead. The help we received from Nikki was fantastic. We're also grateful to Alison for hosting the viewing and the rest of the team for taking what must have felt like hundreds of calls and messages, but always making sure the message was passed on. We felt the Communication was the most impressive aspect of Nikki's service. Several times going above and beyond, and actually passing on key information that should have been communicated by our Conveyancer (but wasn't), and consistently keeping touch with us regarding developments on both our side and the vendors. My partner and I couldn't recommend Winkworth - Banstead enough, and would certainly consider using them again in the future if circumstances were to allow for it. Thanks again to Nikki and the team at Winkworth - Banstead!

This is now the second property, successfully sold, with 18 months via Winkworth Banstead. After selling our property, we were so impressed with the service and care received, that we returned to instruct them in selling my mother's house. Once again all went smoothly, with the usual little hitches to be expected when selling, but they were dealt with quickly and efficiently, leaving all parties happy. We would highly recommend this particular branch of the company, as I have found all members to be professional, diligent and helpful. I would certainly return to them should the occasion arise.
