Winkworths of Kentish Town headed by Clive Nunes provided an excellent service during the sale of our flat. They provided an essential bridge between vendor and buyer during a prolonged period of sale.They also facilitated indirect communication between the parties and regularly allowed access to the flat. Without Clive’s input the sale could have stalled but his expertise allowed matters to progress. I would highly recommend Clive and his team for any sale in the area . John O

I cannot think of a better estate agent to sell our flat. They were brilliant with advice at all stage of the sale in a difficult market. It was the first time we have sold in London and Clive and Shifa held our hands at every stage through to a successful completion. I’d recommend them wholeheartedly!

We recently sold our terraced house in Tufnell Park through Winkworths Kentish Town. We received several offers above the asking price within 5 days of it appearing on their website and accepted one within a week. This progressed to completion efficiently and professionally. At all times the service we received from Winkworths was excellent. Clive and Shifa were particularly helpful, informative and kept us informed at all times. I would have no hesitation recommending them. First rate service.

We have had a very good experience selling our mothers house through Clive and Shifa at Winkworth. The asking price chimed with our own feelings and the process moved very quickly from first viewings to first offer: a matter of days!! Their combined experience over quite a long period of time was very helpful in getting this to Completion. All in all, it has been a very positive journey and we would be more then happy to recommend Winkworth to anyone wanting to sell (or buy for that matter).

I rarely leave a public review, but wanted to say a big thank you to the Winkworth team. From the honest assessment from Clive at the outset, to the friendly, prompt and professional communication from Shifa who kept momentum through the process, it was a strong experience. I was initially nervous, having had a bad experience 'down the road' with a flashier K.Town independent, but I'd recommend this Sales team to anyone. Thanks chaps.

Incredibly impressed with Winkworth Kentish Town and how they handled the sale of my property. They didn’t try to inflate the asking price or make wild promises—just priced it correctly, marketed it smartly, and got the deal done at FULL ASKING! Couldn’t have asked for more. Throughout the process, they were professional, and clearly had my best interests in mind. Big shoutout to Shifa , who handled the sale with real care and attention. He was brilliant. He also introduced me to fantastic local solicitors firm who handled the legal work incredibly fast and efficiently. And also to Clive, the principal—his guidance and experience really came through. Highly recommend Winkworth Kentish Town if you’re looking for a team that knows their stuff

We recently sold our property through Winkworth Kentish Town and Clive/Shifa & the team were a massive driving force in getting the sale over the line. They were extremely patient when there were teething problems on both sides but also amazing at keeping the communication lines between us and the buyer to get a date for exchange. They went over and beyond, Clive especially was amazing towards the final stages. Highly recommend and want to say a massive thank you! John & Stephanie

We interviewed 4 agents and although most had merits, Winkworths stood out. After meeting Clive we were given pragmatic and realistic advice without any unnecessary sales gloss. Once appointed an excellent sales pack was produced and the negotiation team were always helpful and extremely professional. It was hardly an easy sell, however, Winkworths took all the stress out of the process and I couldn't recommend them enough. An excellent and professional estate agent.

The best estate agents I have ever dealt with! I had been looking for over 2 years and so many estate agents can be so awful but I Shifa was honestly the best. Incredibly helpful, trustworthy and always had my best interests at heart. He also recommended me the best solicitor on the planet and the process couldn’t have been smoother. Couldn’t recommend enough!

The sale of my house was a breeze. Everything was explained to me and Winkworths were so professional. They were always available to answer any questions and dealt with viewings and surveyors and I didn't need to do anything. Great service from them. Highly appreciated and recommended.

We had an excellent experience with Shifa and Clive selling our flat. They were very quick off the mark and recognised all the work we'd put into the property and ensuring we got a suitable price. They were also instrumental in ensuring our buyer was able to complete on time for a crucial deadline. We were always informed of viewings and no traces were ever left. Thank you!

I had an extremely difficult and complex sale which involved securing a freehold before completion. Clive, Shifa and Andrew at Winkworth Kentish Town were very supportive and knowledgeable and finally a completion was accomplished despite the odds. Very many thanks.

Shifa recently helped me to complete a purchase transaction, and I had a positive experience working with him and his office. From the prompt initial response to consistently liaising with the vendor, Shifa has been extremely patient and showed great communicative skills. He was very helpful in navigating the complexities of my transaction.

An estate agent (and football fanatic) once said to me, 'when selling or purchasing a residential property - when you go sale agreed, its only half-time', this is because of the unpredictable occurrences and change in circumstances that can occur during a property sale. Andrew, and the team at Winkworth Kentish Town Estate Agents delivered the sale in the professional and knowledgable manner. I was very happy with their support and guidance, and would strongly recommend to property owners, selling or renting.

We had a great experience selling our house with Winkworth, first with Clive Nunes, who helped us value the house, and then with Shifa Nalbant, who sold it for us. Both did a fantastic job and we cannot recommend the company highly enough.

I have worked with Winkworth Kentish Town for many years, as a buyer, seller and landlord, and always had a very good experience. Recently I sold a small two-bedroom flat in Tufnell Park. Clive and Shifa were helpful, pleasant, efficient and professional from start to finish, finding a buyer within a week, securing a good price and guiding the process through to completion. I have always felt I was in very good hands with the KT team and highly recommend them whatever your property needs.

I wholeheartedly recommend Winkworth Kentish Town Estate Agents. It's a highly professional estate agent with a great staff team prepared to make the extra effort when needed. For about thirty years, the company managed our 2-bed property in Kentish Town which was rented out while we were living overseas. Their services were very professional and they were quick to address property management issues when they arose. When eventually we came to sell the property we asked Winkworth to help with the sale, which has now been completed. The sale was not so easy. Property market conditions were quite difficult and, just as we were preparing to exchange contracts, our original buyer pulled out so Winkworth had to find another buyer. Throughout the sale process, Winkworth provided excellent support and advice, with a view to obtaining the best outcome on our behalf. Hats off to Shifa, George, Clive and the rest of the Winkworth team!

Shifa and colleagues were great to work with. It took a while to secure the sale of my late sister's property and we just kept going it at together - felt like we were a team. I would definitely recommend them!
