Adam was a great help in getting my flat in Clerkenwell let. He was responsive and organised. He kept things moving with contractors and getting the flat ready, and always kept me in the loop. Easy to deal with and reliable. I’d greatly recommend him to other landlords.

Had a fantastic experience viewing a flat in the area this morning. Rod was friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to answer all of my questions about the property. He made the viewing feel relaxed and informative, and I really appreciated his professionalism. Highly recommend!

Excellent service from Dominic and Rod. Interviewed three agents and they were the most professional and with the lowest rate of commission. One of the others was extremely pushy, so I was so glad to be dealing with people I trusted. They responded to queries in good time and with clear explanations. The advice for the photo shoot was particularly helpful. Thank you Dominic and Rod.

I’ve had an excellent experience working with Adam Stone from Winkworth Clerkenwell. His professionalism, communication, and efficiency throughout the entire letting process were genuinely outstanding. Adam managed to secure tenants for my London flat far quicker than I expected, and he kept me fully informed at every stage. From marketing the property and organising viewings to referencing and finalising the agreement, everything was handled seamlessly, making the whole process completely stress-free for me. What really stood out was his proactive approach, attention to detail, and clear knowledge of the London rental market. His advice was confident, accurate, and delivered exactly the result he said he would achieve. I would highly recommend Adam to any landlord looking for a reliable, responsive, and results-driven estate agent. Thank you again for such a smooth and successful experience

Winkworth, specifically Henry helped me secure a charming property - an old Victorian-build, fully renovated in the best of taste, located next to a cute square, close to the dining street of the hood. As a first-time Londoner, without having a specific area in mind, at the hardest rental period in time, this is a true find.

Excellent experience with Winkworth Clerkenwell. In particular Adrian has gone abobe and beyond from the moment I first made contact. He has been very proactive.

I had the pleasure of working with Dominic Fletcher from Winkworth Clerkenwell & City Estate Agents during the sale of my flat, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From start to finish, his professionalism, patience, and knowledge made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Throughout the journey of selling my property, Dom was exceptionally patient. He took the time to understand my needs and concerns, answering every question with clarity and expertise—his willingness to listen and address any uncertainties I had truly set him apart from other agents. Moreover, Dom was incredibly informative. He provided valuable insights into market trends, pricing strategies, and selling processes. His expertise instilled confidence in me, knowing that I was in capable hands every step of the way. Despite the challenging conditions of an uncertain market with rising mortgage rates, Dom's dedication and hard work contributed to the successful sale of my flat. I highly recommend Dom to anyone looking for a reliable and professional agent who prioritises their clients' needs. Overall, I am grateful for the exceptional service provided by Dom and Winkworth Clerkenwell & City Estate Agents. His patience, knowledge, and dedication made selling my flat a positive experience. I also had the pleasure of seeking advice from Adam Stone regarding renting my flat during the pandemic. Adam's approach was both informative and caring. Although I ultimately didn't rent my flat through Winkworth, Adam generously took the time to mentor me throughout my brief journey as a landlord. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking guidance on renting their property.

Matthieu truly stands out in the rental game. In an industry where some agencies might resort to tricks to inflate prices, Matthieu is a beacon of honesty and professionalism. His efficiency is commendable, and I appreciate his straightforward approach. If you're looking for someone who values genuine service over gimmicks, Matthieu's your go-to. Highly recommended!

I am very lucky to have Dominic as the agent who supports and guides me all the way through my purchase journey. I very much appreciate his open and honest approach in advising me on any of my questions. He is diplomatic yet always straight to the point. He is always responsive and patient. He put me at ease straight away. Before completion, he even made a visit to the property and ensured everything was in place. That is the icing on the cake! Only true professionals will constantly go the extra mile for their customers. Even though we dealt with everything electronically, I am going to pay a visit to him in the near future to say hi, because he will be the one I lean on with my property-related matters. I wish him and his team all the best for the future.

When we decided to let our property we contacted a number of agents in the Clerkenwell area. We chose Adam Stone and his team and some 4 years or so later we have been very pleased with the service throughout. Covid has challenged most businesses however Winkworth have continued to deliver particularly with a change of tenants required some 18months or so ago. David.

I went to Winkworth as they had good reviews online - this was about two years ago - due to the pandemic, everyone was leaving London so my apartment was open to rent and potentially difficult to let out. Winkworth were very helpful and successful in helping me to rent it out. There is a reason they have so many good reviews!

What I really appreciated about working with Dominic in the recent sale of my property was that it felt like dealing with a real person as opposed to a sales person. He listens, he advises, he's not in any way pushy. And he gets the job done. Would definitely go to Winkworth again for selling or buying.
