The Team at Crouch End
As joint owners, we bring both professional expertise and a long-standing personal partnership. Having met in the property industry over 30 years ago, we share both a household and a professional passion, giving us stability, alignment, and a long-term perspective. Our corporate backgrounds allow us to approach the business with confidence and our own style, rather than relying on a purely corporate or overly sales-driven approach. This balance underpins client trust. Together, we will stand apart by offering expert, data-led advice alongside genuinely personal service. With Abbie’s background in Residential Research, we intend to publish regular market updates and local insights across print and digital channels, positioning ourselves as property advisors rather than simply sales agents. This combination of network reach, personal service, and expert insight differentiates Winkworth Crouch End and positions the office for sustainable long-term growth.
Directors
Robert UptonDirectorRobert Upton has over 30 years’ experience in the property sector. He began his career as a negotiator in Islington, where he was consistently the top salesperson, before acquiring and expanding a two-office estate agency in Greenwich and Blackheath into a market-leading three-branch business. The agency was ultimately acquired by King Sturge (now JLL) at four times its purchase price, reflecting strong operational performance and significant value creation. Robert now works as a land agent, advising on acquisitions and development opportunities, which complements his estate agency background and gives him a broad, macro perspective on the housing market.
Abbie GreismanDirectorAbbie Greisman has over 20 years’ experience in property, predominantly with large corporate agencies. She spent much of her career at Savills in Residential Research, where she developed strong analytical insight into the housing market and the ability to advise clients with authority. She later moved into residential sales in Islington (coincidentally at Robert’s former desk), becoming a leading fee earner. This blend of corporate training, market insight, and proven sales performance equips her with both professionalism and commercial drive in a competitive market.
