I just wanted to thank you regarding the recent rental of our flat. The whole process was made very easy by your staff members Paul, Krista and Becky. Each time I had any questions they replied very quickly and their expertise guiding me through the process left me feeling I was in safe hands. Their friendly approach completely put me at ease and the whole process was seamless. We now have tenants in the property and will not hesitate to use your services in the future. Thank you once again for a brilliant service.

Winkworth Canterbury were incredibly professional throughout the entire sale process, and we will definitely be using their services again in the future! A special mention to Josh Ovenden for his outstanding communication throughout the sale. He consistently went above and beyond to provide a top-level service and made the whole process as smooth as possible. We would highly recommend Winkworth Canterbury to anyone looking for a professional, reliable, and dedicated estate agent. 10/10 service!

We used Winkworth to let our property out and we’re so pleased with the excellent service. Donna and her team found us excellent tenants and we. Couldn’t be happier with the service. Great value for money.

We were tenants in the same property for over eleven years. Winkworth were consistently helpful and kind. They were great when we moved in, while we were living there, and when we moved out.

Winkworth recently sold my property after being on the market for only a few days with them. We received great advice and guidance from Donna before and during the sale with the new buyer, and then this transitioned to Gary who carefully managed the sale process, communicating frequently with all parties. I would certainly recommend Winkworth for their local knowledge of Canterbury, and their personable approach to selling, this certainly made the difference for us.

I am extremely impressed with the way in which Winkworth handled the sale of my late father’s house. They provided an excellent level of customer service throughout the process. The house was professionally marketed, with quality photographs displayed on both their website and Rightmove. I found the team to be highly professional, proactive, and very friendly. They provided prompt property viewing feedback and communicated regularly to keep me updated on developments. Highly recommended.

Until recently we had rented a property privately via Winkworth for the last 10yrs. Prior to that I had rented for over 15 yrs from various agents and can honestly say Winkworth has been the best experience with honest fees. The staff have always been professional and friendly. Highly reccomended.

I've been renting properties in England for the last 8 years, and Winkworth has resuted to be the best agency I've been with so far. It's a small office with an excellent customer service. Since my first contact with them, communication has been quick and pleasant. As a tenant, I felt I could really rely on them. Any issue with the house would always be fixed, my money would be quickly refunded if I needed to spend it to buy anything that needed replacement. Unlike other agencies, which demand of you to make a decision on renewing the rent 6 months in advance, Winkworth timings were always very reasonable. Also, I didn't need to chase them to have my deposit back but they took the initiative themselves. Moreover, the plumber they work with is fantastic! I'll be looking for a new house soon and I'm really hoping it will be with Winkworth!
