  • 22 December 2017

    Paul Harwood is an outstanding estate agent. He has been organised, communicative and totally professional. He is a credit to Winkworth (Borehamwood) and he sold our property very quickly and at the price we wanted. We were particularly pleased to receive regular updates on the progress of the sale. Paul is an excellent example of this would and i recommend him if you want to sell your house quick and professional way.

    Great service from a great team!

    I found everyone at Winkworth to be polite, friendly and very helpful. They were always ready to answer any queries that we had and to help us in any way they could. They helped to make the whole buying process as easy and smooth running as possible. I would definitely recommend them.

    Great service

    Delighted with the service. My property was professionally marketed, several excellent potential tenants were introduced, a deal was struck with one of them and the paperwork and moving in were carried out smoothly. I couldn't fault Winkworth's service and I'm glad they will be managing the property going forward.

    Sacha found us a tenant immediately after we had completed the purchase of the flat. She was very efficient in dealing with all the paperwork that came afterwards. \nVery professional!

    Fantastic Service From Start To Finish

    Karen and her team provided a fantastic service from start to finish. After being let down by two alternative agents, Winkworth handled the property marketing and provided multiple positive viewings along with a handful of offers within two weeks. \nThe handling of this sale came with a number of hurdles but the precise management of all parties concerned in the chain has been flawless and extremely professional. Should we ever look to sell again in the future, we would be without doubt be working with Winkworth again.

  • 11 July 2017

    Very helpful and reliable service

    James and his colleagues were very pleasant to deal with while purchasing. They made time whenever required to make apartment visits with contractors way before the sale had completed and were also extremely helpful and patient while the sale took so long to close. \nGreat job!! Would definitely use again whether buying, selling or renting!! 5*

    Great service, very helpful

    We had been landlords for more than 5 years using Colin @ Winkworth to find us tenants, which were always top quality. When we decided to sell our property, there was only one choice, Winkworth. Karen and her team made the whole process painless, we were always kept up to date with every development. We would highly reccommend using Winkworth Borehamwood

  • 26 April 2017

    Quality from day one

    From the initial visit with Paul through to exchange with Karen I have found the team at Borehamwood to be first class. Communication has been excellent, updates have been timely and advice where required has been readily accepted. This wasn't the easiest transaction as my buyer's solicitor has been particularly difficult to deal with but I cannot fault the tenacity, patience and professionalism. Thank you!

    Excellent Service

    Daren & Danielle Wicks (Borehamwood)\nWe have two Properties in Borehamwood, that we rent out. \nHaving chosen to work with Winkworth Borehamwood, back in 2013, they have not only met, but surpassed our expectations. \nOur direct contact has been Colin Shack (Director of Lettings). Colin has provided us with an extremely consistent and first class service for the last 4 years. \nWe’ve recently decided to sell both our properties, and even though this is not his department he has proved instrumental in facilitating the Sales. He has provided us with key documents in a proficient, and timely manner. Thanks to Colin Shack/Winkworth, my Property has now been sold, with the other one moving smoothly through the sales process. \nHe and the Winkworth Team have gone above and beyond the call of duty, for both of our Properties, and we would highly recommend their services, whether it be Sales or Lettings.

    Superb

    The staff at winkworths in Borehamwood are wholly professional at the same time as being affable and approachable. Their knowledge and experience in the real estate business shines though especially during the challenging moments they were able to manage my transaction through to a reletively stress free and successful conclusion. I would absolutely use them again and would recommend others to do so also.

  • 25 January 2017

    Great and, most importantly, honest service!

    We were return clients to Winkworth, having used them previously, and the standards certainly hadn't dropped. The big thing that makes this a 5* review was the dedication of our agent after the sale had been agreed. We were faced with some slightly less honest agents further up the chain, and some rather difficult vendors, which left the chain liable to potential collapse. Laura did a fantastic job of keeping on top of things and kept us informed every step of the way. Due to other agents not pulling their weight further up, there was a lot of extra work and chasing involved which Winkworth took on without complaint, or at least certainly not to us! Laura and the rest of the team were very dedicated and honest throughout the process and gave us a lot of confidence which is hugely important in such a life-changing transaction! Thank you Winkworth for your help.

  • 14 January 2017

    Brilliant would recommend to anyone pity you are not local in the West Country

    Patient and professional all the way through. Nothing was too much trouble to ensure that we had a successful sale of what had been a family home for over 50 years.

    Paula Stein

  • 22 December 2016

    excellent service

    Found buyer almost straight away who thro' no fault of winkworth's dropped out. Found another buyer again very quickly and this one has gone thro' to completion. At all times I was kept informed of progress and was helped greatly with keeping an eye on the property as I was now living 120 miles away. Absolutely would recommend Winkworths to any prospective seller or buyer

    Derek Church

  • 12 December 2016

    very professional service, highly recommended

    The team of Winkworth at Borehamwood is very professional. They are friendly, warm-hearted, but not pushing you to sell. When there is a problem, they are always patient, trying hard to solve the problem for you. I am pleased with the service they provided. Thank you!

  • 11 December 2016

    Excellent service!

    As a first time seller Winkworth made this a positive experience. I received great communication and updates at every stage, from viewings to completion of sale. Efficient and quick to respond, couldn't have been more helpful. Every member of staff I spoke to was polite and passed messages on which were always answered promptly. I have no complaints, and the whole process was made as smooth and stress-free as possible by Laura and initially by Paul Harwood. Laura was friendly, professional and I'm glad to have chosen Winkworth. I highly recommend them. Thank you!

    Not like other agents!

    We have been delighted with the service offered by Winkworth Borehamwood from the initial valuation of the property through to the ultimate exchange and completion. Throughout the entire transaction the team were professional, courteous and responsive to our needs. I would have no hesitation in recommending Winkworth to anyone seeking a professional agency to sell or purchase a home from.

  • 05 December 2016

    Fantastic support

    From the start to finish, Paul, Karen, Laura and the rest of the team have been fantastic. The original meeting put us at ease and we knew we had picked the right agents for our needs. Paul was professional in setting up the sale and Laura and Karen worked hard throughout to keep us informed and updated on developments as the sale proceeded. Many thanks for all your help and support it was a relief knowing you were always just a call away.

    Thank you very much for making the process of selling the house so quick and easy. You and your team have been thoroughly professional, efficient and friendly. \nIf you would like me to put this on your website (or anywhere else), I would be more than happy. \nAgain, many thanks

    She was extremely helpful and made huge effort to find a property for us.

    Winkworths

    I would highly recommend Winkworths as an Estate Agent. Karen looked after us, she was always there keeping us up to date and nothing was to much trouble for her. \nIf I ever have to move again I would definitely be using Winkworths

  • 13 October 2016

    Great team!

    We recently bought a house through Winkworth in Borehamwood and found all the staff to be knowledgable and professional. A special thanks to Paul Harwood for knowing our requirements and getting us in to the perfect house, I know we wouldn't have found it without him! Karen and Laura were also brilliant through the stressful process of buying and selling at the same time. And what a lovely touch from Winkworths when we picked the keys up! I have since recommended them to friends and will continued to do so.

  • 11 October 2016

    Great communication and very pro-active

    Our experience with Winkworth was excellent. We switched from a different estate agent company after we felt they were not putting in enough effort with our case. Our dealings with Winkworth have been the opposite and extremely positive. \nOur agent Laura was fantastic and kept us up to date with every bit of progress. She chased other solicitors up and down the chain and ensured progress was being made at all times. Despite the process being quite stressful, she really helped make things as smooth as possible. \nThank you to Laura and all the team at Winkworth. I will definitely come back to use Winkworth the next time we move (which will hopefully be far, far in the future!)

    Purchase

    Winkworth is the best estate agency. Very helpful, very professional. I am very happy with their service.

    Alex

  • 07 October 2016

    Great choice of Estate Agents. Very pleased!

    We saw the house we are moving into over a year ago. Despite multiple issues with the vendors Karen has continued to speak to them, liaise constantly with their solicitors and get forms signed. Meanwhile she has kept in touch with us, and I have no doubt that without her tenacity we wouldn't be moving into this house. Thank you! Meanwhile when we lost our first buyers after they were unable to wait any longer, Laura found us new buyers quickly and her negotiation skills helped us get a better price for our property than we had had previously, so thank you Laura!

    Sharon Ralph

  • 14 September 2016

    Over and above service

    We dealt with Winkworth for four years trying to move house - getting a buyer was never a problem and Winkworth always got people through the door. Staying in a chain was so challenging but I could always call Winkworth and get great advice from the manager, Karen - who also recommended me a brilliant mortgage broker. And then even right at the end for exchange and completion, Laura, our agent, was co-ordinating the entire chain for us - over and above her role. I felt like she was a true comrade helping us get over the threshold !! Cannot thank her enough. Moving is incredibly stressful but having someone in your corner makes a big difference. Laura is a brilliant estate agent.

    A Successful Result

    I am writing to congratulate you on the two agents who were responsible for the sale of my house, Andrew Close, Shenley. Both Paul Smith and Laura Howard worked hard together to achieve a successful result. They were professional and experienced. They understood the issues with my house and pitched the marketing so that the right buyers were interested. In the event I had three firm offers and have now exchanged. I would have no hesitation in recommending Winkworth to my friends and family, but more especially, I would recommend Paul and Laura for their great kindness to me, at a time when I had just lost my husband.

  • 13 July 2016

    A great outcome through a difficult time

    Laura showed us around the house. She was extremely helpful in enabling us to decide whether or not it suited our needs. The process of dealing with solicitors was extremely trying/stressful, and both Laura & Paul (Harwood) facilitated the final outcome, which at one time looked likely to fail. Both of them were vital intermediaries between us, the solicitors and the vendors. We would thoroughly recommend this Winkworth team to other potential buyers.

    PROFESSIONAL BUT CARING SERVICE

    The valuing agent - Paul - had a very astute knowledge of the market in the surrounding area and his valuation was spot on. It was more than I thought - but he advised to market at that amount and a sale ensued within a few weeks. \nMy office contact Laura handled most of the viewings - always giving much appreciated updates and feedback. Once a purchase was confirmed, she was on top of all aspects of the sale and ensured that I was informed about all stages of the sale. \nI couldn't have asked for a more total and professional service, at a time which is stressful to say the least. Well done to all the Winkworth Borehamwood team

    Fantastic service and results

    Words have not been developed to express just how professional their support and advice has been. They have gone above and beyond to assist in my sale and I have obtained a result far better than I expected when I approached them to sell my property. \nNegotiating and making a sale in under 5 days and then the follow up support throughout the subsequent process has been superb. \nIf you are selling in Borehamwood you will not go wrong if you approach this team.

    Very Good Service

    Actively promoted our sale and found three buyers on the first day who all put in good bids which led to the house being sold by day 2. Sadly that buyer pulled out through no fault of the agents but then resold to a previous bidder who was still interested for the full asking price. Really couldn't expect much more and have no hesitation in recomending Winkworths to others.
