The process of purchasing a family home while simultaneously selling our current home was, at times, overwhelming and I initially found the prospect quite daunting. However, Winkworth Hellesdon Estate Agents provided excellent service and support throughout the entire process. Andy was our initial point of contact. He valued our property and ensured it was launched effectively on the website. His photography highlighted the property’s potential exceptionally well and provided a strong foundation for our sale. He was consistently supportive, responding to all of our enquiries with diligence, care and professionalism. Max arranged viewings for our property and provided accommodating lead in times, allowing us sufficient opportunity to prepare. He coordinated effectively with both ourselves and prospective viewers, ensuring that appointments were well organised and ran smoothly. Vicky facilitated viewings and provided timely, respectful and professional feedback. Her approach was consistently accommodating and she ensured that each viewing was a seamless experience. Darryl facilitated the completion of our sale and the subsequent purchase of our next property. He communicated openly and transparently, kept us informed of progress at every stage and provided valuable reassurance throughout. Rachel liaised with solicitors on our behalf to help expedite proceedings and maintained communication with other parties in the buying and selling chain. Her proactive and personable approach ensured that the process progressed in a timely and effective manner. Her excellent communication gave us considerable reassurance throughout. Overall, we are immensely grateful to the entire team at Winkworth Hellesdon Estate Agents. They are consummate professionals who combine technical expertise with the interpersonal skills essential in such an important transaction. We felt consistently supported and confident that our best interests were at the forefront of everything they did — a rare and highly valued combination from an exceptional team. I unreservedly recommend Winkworth Hellesdon Estate Agents to any prospective buyer or seller.

Rachel Ingleby was our guardian angel throughout a process that was not the most straightforward (if it ever is!). She helped us get out of sticky situations and was always there to make that phone call or send that email when it mattered. Excellent service by Winkworth-i'd recommend without any hesitation!

We had a fantastic experience with Winkworth in the purchase of our new home! The process was not straightforward, due to some difficulties with our solicitor, but Rachel supported us so well through this. She was extremely proactive and guided us so well. We are so grateful for all of her help! We also spoke with Max several times, who was also so understanding of our situation and again, proactive in supporting us. Thank you!

From the minute we contacted them, they could not have been more helpful . We had had problems with previous estate agents and Andy and Max explained what we needed to do to change agents. They found viewings quickly and had three offers within two weeks. Vicky and Rachel continued to chase the buyer and solicitors and we have now exchanged with completion in five days. The team were helpful, professional, responded quickly to queries and I cannot fault them. Thank you.

We had a fantastic experience with Winkworth from start to finish. The whole process, from the initial valuation through to completion, was straightforward and stress-free, and the team were a great help throughout. A special mention goes to Rachel Ingleby, our Sales Progressor, who was absolutely fantastic at keeping us updated and helping things move along. In fact, we often turned to Rachel for updates, as she frequently had the most up-to-date information on communications within the chain. Her communication, knowledge and support made a real difference throughout the process. We’re incredibly grateful to the team for helping us through the sale and would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Winkworth to anyone looking to sell their property. A genuinely helpful and professional service from beginning to end!

I can’t thank the Hellesdon team enough for getting my property sale over the line this week. It’s been a difficult chain and they went above and beyond to make it happen. Andy and Vicky were amazing throughout , always responsive and helpful. Max was also brilliant at providing cover if Andy or Vicky was not available.

The Hellesdon team have been excellent, we have used Winkworth before but a different branch so knew we would be in good hands. Both times after the sale Rachel Ingleby has looked after us and she has been amazing both times. Friendly, kind, professional and very quick with updates so we know what is going on, a huge asset to Winkworth in our opinion. We highly recommend Winkworth if you’re looking to sell a property in the future.

I’ve been extremely impressed with the service from Winkworth, particularly from Rachel Ingleby. She has been very knowledgeable regarding all parties involved in our sale, and the frequency of communication has been excellent — even taking the time to touch base with updates, however small. The team has been proactive and supportive throughout, making the process feel smooth and well‑managed. I’m genuinely grateful for all of Rachel’s hard work and would highly recommend Winkworth to anyone looking for a reliable and informative team.

Our experience with Winkworth has been excellent, especially compared to a previous agent we worked with. Rachel, in particular, has been outstanding throughout the entire process, keeping us regularly updated, providing valuable advice, and ensuring the sale progressed smoothly. We greatly appreciated her professionalism, communication, and dedication.

My partner Adam and I could not be more grateful to Andy, Max, Daryl, Vicky and Rachel for all their incredible care, time and effort to sell my home and help us buy our new one. The whole team at Winkworth are so dedicated to client satisfaction and we felt so supported throughout the entire process. We felt that the Hellesdon team really went above and beyond in their attention and we have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone looking for a positive experience. Huge thank you to you all: the most stressful time in our lives was in experienced, caring and knowledgeable hands. I want to especially thank Rachel, who frankly, kept me sane and went above and beyond with her kindness.

Just sold our house with Winkworths and even though we brought our bungalow with a different estate agent they kept us up to date throughout the process with help and advice especially Rachel who rang us most weeks letting us know what was happening or not happening. Also thank you to Darryl for showing us around so many bungalows and a few houses So a massive thank you to everyone at Winkworths from start to finish you made the process easier and less stressful.

Where do I start…. Rachel at Winkworth was brilliant in every aspect. From chasing solicitors and estate agents all the way to the final day of completion. Always available whether it’s an email or phone call with quick replies. Without her constant pressure I highly doubt we would be in our house today. Thanks Rachel and Winkworth for everything. Jack & Elisha.

Excellent experience buying with Winkworth twice now. Clear and timely communication from start to finish, staff are all professional, diligent and caring.

Thanks again!

Sadly we lost both our parents within a relatively short period of time. Mum and Dad had been the first owners of their house, built back in 1961! We wanted to work with an estate agent who understood the importance to us of finding the right person to buy what had been our family home. I am 100% delighted with the understanding and quality of service we received from Rachel and all at Winkworths. Through them we found the perfect new owner, which has made the transition much smoother than we had anticipated.

I chose Winkworth Hellesdon due a previous great experience with George and Billy at Winkworth Eaton. The Hellesdon team were great, too, easy to deal with, gave good advice and got the sale completed despite the slow market place. Thanks Andy, Daryl, Max and Rachel.

Excellent estate agents from start to finish. Cannot recommend enough. Andy & the team were excellent throughout the sales process, followed by the one and only Rachel who pushed tirelessly to get our sale over the line. Thank you so much Rachel, you have been a blessing and we’re so thankful to have had you help us on this conveyancing process.

I had the pleasure of Winkworth Estate Agents in Hellesdon manage the sale of my parents property. From start to finish the process has been smooth and stress free. From my first meeting with Max, Andy coming to value and take pictures of the property, to completion with Rachel handling the final sale. The team Max, Rachel, Vicky and Daryl have all been amazing. Communication from the team was excellent keeping me informed of house visits and outcomes of those visits. I really appreciated the professionalism and kindness, and would 100% recommend them for the sale of your property!

Huge thanks to the team at Winkworth for their incredible support from start to finish. From the very first viewing with Daryl through to the final stages of completion with Rachel Ingleby in after-sales, the service has been exceptional. Daryl has been fantastic from day one. He’s warm, approachable, and genuinely supportive, which made the viewing and offer process feel smooth and stress-free. He was a huge help in getting our offer accepted. Rachel has been absolutely amazing throughout. She has been so helpful in progressing the sale, constantly liaising between the seller, myself, and our solicitors to keep everything moving. We faced a complex issue that took a long time to resolve, and Rachel remained patient, proactive, and dedicated every step of the way. Her regular updates, consistent chasing, and clear communication genuinely made a the difference and helped us get over the line with the purchase of our first home. I couldn’t recommend Winkworth more. A massive thank you again to both Rachel and Daryl for going above and beyond!

We recently sold our property through Winkworth in Hellesdon and we have nothing but praise for the team. Andy, Vicky and Daryl were super stars on the sales side, arranging viewings and carrying out some viewings on our behalf. They kept in touch with regular updates and feedback without prompting from us. Once we had in fact sold, Rachel in the after sales team was amazing. She provided us with weekly updates and did a great job of nudging the solicitors on both sides of the sale. Exactly the service you hope you would get, worth every penny of the fee we paid and they delivered on every aspect of the service they promised. From my discussions with friends trying to sell, this amazing level of service is not the norm so, think very carefully about the agent you choose if you are serious about selling. Winkworth should be top of your list of agents to pick.

I cannot speak highly enough of the service we received from Winkworth Hellesdon. From the first call I had with Andy regarding selling our family home of 40 years (one of the oldest properties in the village) to completion, I could not fault the team at Winkworth (Andy, Daryl and Rachel). They were much more enthusiastic about selling the property than other estate agents (we had 3 local agents in to assess the property); this along with competitive fees made it a very easy choice for us which we did not regret. The write-up advert and photos for the house on Right Move was comprehensive and captured the character of the property (a critical component when selling property) and we were subsequently informed/guided every step of the way during the selling process (from pricing, would-be buyers, solicitors, progress on the sale.....right through to completion.....in fact, I got quicker updates regarding the sale from Rachel than I did directly from our solicitors). Highly recommended.....and a belated thank-you to the team.

We experienced a very efficient and professional service from Winkworth. Andy Dickerson, Max Kent & Rachel Ingleby were all available and helpful at every step of our journey. Often the most stressful stage of a house sale/purchase is after the offer has been accepted and things can seem to go a bit quiet whilst everything is happening behind the scenes. Rachel (our sales progressor) telephoned regularly to keep us updated so we knew the sale was always moving forward. We’d certainly use their services again in the future.

After mum died in March this year we needed a personal and friendly local service to help us through the whole process of selling mum's house. After experiencing the excellent service that the team gave us who my daughter sold and purchased her houses it was a no brainer to go with Winkworth. A fair valuation was given with absolutely no hard sell at all. I think setting a realistic price helped us to sell the house quickly. From Daryl, Andy, Max (and others who I haven't mentioned (sorry)) through to Rachel who was amazingly supportive and pro active in the whole after offer and completion care it all completed without a hitch. Thanks again to all at Winkworth

I can't thank Daryl and the team enough for all their help in selling my nan's house. Daryl was incredibly kind and sensitive to the situation, which made a difficult time feel so much easier to manage. He was always professional, approachable, and kept us well informed throughout the process. Thanks to his hard work and guidance, the house sold very quickly, after just the second viewing! I really appreciated his support and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate estate agent! Thanks again Daryl 😊
