Having had valuations from almost all local agents we settled on Winkworth and are very glad we did. Nick and the team are brilliant - professional, communicative, friendly and proactive. We couldn't be happier with the whole process and completed without a hitch. No doubt we'll look to Winkworth in the future if we decide to move again!

The team at Winkworth, headed up by Mike Watters, truly are exceptional. I needed to sell my property during a difficult market downturn and it was only due to the professionalism, persistence and creativity of Mike and team that we found a suitable and committed buyer. I cannot commend them highly enough.

We first rented the house and then sold it through Winkworths Highcliffe and the service we received from Mike and his team was excellent. Very easy to sort out any problems that arose and made the whole process very straightforward. Always kept us updated and were very happy with the outcome.

I used Winkworth Highcliffe to sell my late father’s property. From meeting Mike initially to the whole viewings and sales process managed by Harvey, they made the process seamless. Always providing feedback and listening to my views gave me a successful sale. Thank you both

We recently completed the purchase of our new home, and we couldn't be happier with the service we received from Harvey. From start to finish, he was professional, approachable, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. Buying a house can be stressful, but Harvey was always on hand to answer our questions, keep us updated, and make everything run as smoothly as possible. His communication was excellent, and we always felt that he genuinely cared about helping us reach a successful outcome. Thanks to Harvey's hard work and dedication, we're now settled into our new home, and we couldn't be more grateful. We would highly recommend Harvey to anyone looking to buy or sell a property!

We couldn't have asked for a better experience buying our new house through Winkworth. Nick was professional and communicative from start to finish, keeping us updated at every stage and pushing proactively to get the property through to exchange and completion. Everyone else we dealt with in the office was just as helpful. The whole process felt straightforward from beginning to end, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Winkworth to anyone buying a property. We're excited to now have the keys to our forever home.

Highly recommend Mike and the team at Winkworth for selling a property. After being on the market with a different agent and having no luck, I changed to Winkworth and it was a wonderful experience. Mike and the team gave me straight forward advice, communicated thoroughly after all viewings and found us a great buyer. Whilst navigating a very complex chain, Mike kept absolutely on top of it at every stage to achieve completion. Thank you so much to Mike and the team for everything.

Harvey has been an absolute star throughout our search and purchasing ‘journey’. Totally professional, yet friendly and SO helpful. Along with the team in the Winkworth Highcliffe office he has helped resolve and smooth all of little bumps that inevitably crop up when buying a property – and I am sure that the sellers feel the same way. Thank you Harvey and thank you Winkworth Highcliffe. We can thoroughly recommend for purchasers and sellers.

We were purchasing through Winkworth and Nick & Mike were absolutely professional and helpful to the extreme during our moving process which was fraught with difficulties further down the chain. They were the ones that kept us informed, (unlike our own estate agent), they helped in every way they could, going the extra mile always. Without them our chain would have collapsed. They liaised with everyone in the chain to get us over the line. We have moved many times but Winkworth have provided the best service we have ever experienced. Don’t hesitate to buy or sell with them, they come highly recommended.

Although we were not strictly clients of Winkworth's ( Highcliffe) the service, support and advice we received from both Nick Rodgers & Mike Watters during the purchase of one of their properties was 2nd to none. Our own Estate agents who were paid quite a large sum of money did not reach Winkworth's level of expertise & support berfore & after the purchase.

We had fantastic service from Mike and his team at Winkworth. It was not an easy property sale but we always felt supported and informed, and everyone at Winkworth was great to deal with. It was a great result achieving the house sale, and a huge amount of credit needs to go to Mike, Nick and Harvey for their resilience and enthusiasm throughout. Would highly recommend.

I have used Winkworth’s twice now to both buy and sell, I have found all staff to be polite, helpful and professional, but Nick in particular went above and beyond to communicate with all parties and finally bring everything together. Winkworth’s are definitely the best estate agents in my local area and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

We recently bought a house in Highcliffe through Winkworth after moving from Australia. Nick was fantastic, very knowledgeable and patient with us. The house purchase process is very different in the UK than in Australia, and Nick kept us informed at every stage. Unfortunately, due to our recent relocation to the UK, our mortgage application was substantially delayed, and Winkworth were fantastic at keeping the communication open between us and the vendors so that we didn't lose the house. I hope to be in my current house for many years, but if I ever needed to sell, I would use them...

We want to say a huge thank you to Mike and Harvey. Although Winkworth were not our agents (they were the agents of the property we are buying) they have gone over and above to keep us in the loop, offering reassurance and chasing all parties throughout our complex and very long time to get to exchange. I advised them that our agents were not keeping us in the loop at all and that is when Winkworth stepped in. Thank you again guys, I will certainly be recommending you and not Spencers (Highcliffe).

I just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the exceptional service we received during our moving process. A huge thank you to Harvey Banger for showing us the property in the first place. Although we weren’t chosen initially, he made sure we were next in line when it became available again—his dedication and effort truly made a difference! We really appreciate his persistence and professionalism. Also, a big shoutout to Abi Bacon, our property manager, for making our move completely stress-free. From start to finish, she has been incredibly supportive, responsive, and efficient, ensuring everything went smoothly. The entire experience with Winkworth Highcliffe has been fantastic, and we couldn’t be happier in our new home. We truly appreciate all the hard work and dedication from your team. Many thanks!

Winkworth (Highcliffe branch) was our sellers agent and from initial viewing of a house with Nick, to a second viewing through to purchase and move with Harvey, we would not hesitate to recommend Winkworth to anyone. Harvey was excellent in his approach & knowledge, proactive, professional and such a lovely person to deal with through a stressful process. He worked tirelessly to ensure the process went as quickly as possible. Nothing was too much trouble and he went over and above to ensure our queries were answered promptly at all times. We cannot thank Harvey and the team at Winkworth enough, wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and would certainly consider them as first port of call should we wish to purchase or sell again!

We were looking for a property for quite some time in the Highcliffe area. Nick showed us around a couple of properties in our early search. From our initial meeting we were really impressed with his manner and rapport. It made us want to buy a property through him! After various setbacks with selling our own property(out of the area) we finally completed on a property last week which Nick suggested that we should look at. We are really happy with the property. We can not praise Nick and the team enough during the process, the communication was excellent. I would definitely recommend Winkworth estate agents.

This is the first time that we have purchased a house through Winkworth Highcliffe.

My journey to home ownership wasn't straightforward at all. Missteps and U-turns on my part. But through it all, Mike Watters at Winkworth in Highcliffe was patient and supportive. The benefit of many years' experience shows. He has the uncanny knack of knowing what you want before you know it yourself, and of having the answer to your question before you've even asked it. Thank you, Mike!
