We highly recommend Andrew Stavrou and Lux Thavarasa who have provided first-rate help, advice and care throughout our recent house move. Not only are they completely on top of all aspects of the process and able to drive everything forward with great expertise but their dedication, personability and integrity were hugely appreciated. We asked them to sell our old house but they went over and beyond the call of duty by pointing us in the direction of our perfect new house even though it was listed with a different estate agent. They are great guys and 5-star professionals.

We recently sold our property through Winkworth via Fintan McHugh and Andrew Stavrou. From initial valuation, listing, negotiation and sales process, I found both to be highly approachable, flexible and professional, and they were open to feedback throughout. They were highly attentive to both us and our buyer, and supported both sets of solicitors, which made the process efficient and well paced.
