I’ve relied on Winkworth for many years to manage my rental property. Lucie was consistently helpful and kept me fully informed throughout. When I eventually chose to sell, Paul was exceptionally proactive and guided me through the process to a successful result. I would definitely recommend Winkworth Estate Agents.

I have worked with Mark Newman at Winkworth (formerly Think) for many years on the rental side and always found them to be very professional and efficient in all our dealings. I recently appointed them to sell my property and found Paul Benge and his sales team to be equally professional and timely in all my dealings with them too. Having had many years of dealing with Estate Agents it is nice to find one in my home town that really appreciates customer service and who your feel is working at all times in your best interest - thank you.

From start to finish Paul Benge at Winkworth managed the sale of my property. I have been extremely happy with the way this was handled, Paul has a great knowledge of the local market and a good network of contacts. This led to a very quick sale. Paul kept me fully informed at every stage of the sale and managed all the relevant parties, including the buyer and solicitors. I would recommend him and Winkworth based on my experience.

I had a great experience with Paul at Winkworths. From start to finish he provided a service that was nothing short of exceptional – proactive and efficient, as well as friendly, personable and always willing to help. Paul was very supportive throughout the process, ensuring I was kept informed at every stage. In fact, he often told me what was going on before my solicitor did – including on completion day! Paul was very responsive to emails and phone calls, making communication effortless. He went the extra mile by contacting third parties on my behalf (e.g. another estate agent in respect of my initial buyer/my solicitor on the last day) who were not responding to me. His approach is not just a ‘can-do’ attitude but a ‘will-do’ attitude, and promptly too. It was a pleasure to work with Paul and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable, proactive support in selling and/or buying a property.

We recently had help from Helen to move into our new home. The whole transition from start to finish was seamless, she was so helpful and made the whole process so easy. The online portal was handy because it meant we could sign everything online making it a very quick process, it also ment on moving day we only had to collect the keys which allowed us to get moved in much earlier than anticipated.

We recently had help from Helen to rent a flat in the Leigh area. It was a really lovely and easy experience from the beginning of our interest to completion. Helen’s approach was perfect and what we liked was the speed of completion to rent our flat. This was helped by the portal they use where you can sign all contracts and docs and also the inventory. Helen was very accommodating with our request to move as quickly as possible! We definitely recommend!

A seamless experience from viewing to moving in, Helen was amazing and super responsive to all emails, she really made the experience super smooth. Also the online portal for signing and submitting all docs meant that on the move in day all I had to do was quickly grab the keys so completely sped everything up. Would recommend for sure!
