I used the Winkworth Marlborough branch for six years to manage the letting of my property in Devizes, and more recently, to handle the sale. Having experienced both sides of their business, I cannot recommend them highly enough. Lisa managed our letting property superbly for the entire six years. She was absolutely fabulous, always so friendly, warm, and empathetic and as accidental landlords we always felt our house was in the safest hands. As a letting agent, she kept communication clear and handled everything effortlessly, giving us complete peace of mind. \nWhen we decided to sell, the transition was seamless. The sale was handled by Annabel and the team, who were an incredible support in a difficult market. Their kind, empathetic approach made a stressful time so much easier. They helped us achieve a sale and were such a wonderful help guiding us through the entire process from start to finish. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for excellent customer service and a personal touch for either lettings or sales! Thank you so much.

In a difficult housing market, the advice we received was realistic and pragmatic. It resulted in an acceptable offer within a month of going to market. Annabel and Susan were always helpful and kept us up to date with events. \nThis is the second occasion we have used Winkworth and if circumstance arose, would do so as first choice again

I was away when the house I was interested in came on the market. Annabel arranged a virtual viewing, made herself available outside office hours to fit with my schedule whilst away from home and answered all my questions clearly. Great communication from her and the team at Winkworth in Marlborough between the sellers and solicitors, leaving me feeling secure with all aspects of buying my house.

Never having rented out a property before, I was very nervous about doing so. Lisa had the patience of a saint, explained everything carefully, answering all my random questions and made the whole process simple and effective. She was efficient, knowledgeable and practical, did exactly what she said she would and responded promptly to all contacts. A fantastic service and I’m very grateful to Winkworths for all their help.

Annabel has been a tower of strength during the whole process of selling our house. She has gone above and beyond with complete professionalism and cheerfulness. Also, Susan has been very helpful. A super team and great service!

Susan and Annabel were the agents involved with our purchase. They were so kind and above all responsive (not always the case with some estate agents!) Their local knowledge and network really helped push the process along in a way that meant it was relatively stress free and quick. Highly recommend!

We initially used Winkworth to rent out our property and later chose them again when it came time to sell. Throughout the entire process, Annabel provided outstanding service—professional, responsive, and reliable. We would highly recommend Winkworth to anyone looking to rent or sell their property in the Marlborough area

I received excellent initial advice from Simon Jacobs and we had an enquiry the moment the house was on Rightmove. The photos taken of our property showed it in its best light and were done with a normal lens, not a wide-angle, so that prospective buyers get to see what it is really like and are not disappointed when they view the real thing. We had a lot of enquiries in what could be described as a difficult market with the announcement of a general election generating wariness. Jim Heroys followed up with good advice during the negotiating stage and I also received great support from the rest of the team in the Marlborough office. I am sure that Winkworth achieved their objective by pleasing both the buyer and the seller.

Annabel and the team at Marlborough were excellent - a challenging market required a lot of tenacity, but in the end achieved what I needed. Would recommend.
23 May 2024
Annabelle was both professional and helpful and very on the ball . Contacted me promptly when she needed to with good advice and clear thinking - also sympathetic when things seemed difficult due to solicitors being slow etc ... I found her approachable and she obv knows her job inside out which is a bonus !! She communicated effectively and was very good at liaising with all parties - thank you Annabelle !

A big Thank You to all the staff at Winkworth Marlborough who, through their great work ethic, professionalism and perseverance, sold our 3 x Grade II conversion apartments. The property itself had its challenges, in addition to a difficult market following multiple interest rate rises but the Winkworth team took it all in their stride providing us with a number of offers, ultimately resulting in us getting within 1% of what we wanted. Once again many thanks, you genuinely made the difference.

I'm so pleased I chose Jack and Winkworth to be my agent. During a difficult conveyancing process Jack was always proactive, updated me all the time and seemed to really care about supporting me through the process. He worked very hard and I really appreciate that.

A very professional sale carried out by Jack to ourselves. \nAlways very accommodating when asked for information or extra viewings. Even arranging to come in on his day off to meet us. \nWe would highly recommend this company.

Five star +++. Lisa is my agent who arranged my property rental. What a fabulous service. Lisa explained everything I needed to do, made recommendations and explained my options. I felt secure and confident with the advice I received with respect to law, regulations and assuring the safety of tenants. Lisa gave me a lot of support and explained all aspects of setting up and maintains timely and proactive communication. I would highly recommend Lisa and Winkworth Devizes for your property rental requirements. The service is outstanding.

It was a pleasure to deal with Claire regarding the purchase of our new home. She was at all times both friendly and professional. We would wholehartedly recommend!
Derek Cox

Claire was very reassuring from the moment she came to offer a valuation, right through to exchange of contracts! Never too busy to chat or answer an email, always able to advise and support. In her absence, other members of Winkworths Devizes were equally friendly and helpful.

Sebastian went above and beyond, right from accommodating my viewing request until finally exchanging contracts. I could not have asked for a better agent. Excellent communication and support throughout the whole process. Thank you very much. 😀

We found the staff at Winkworth to be very approachable, friendly and honest. They listened and responded positively regarding a further viewing of the house we decided to buy. They were efficient in our negotiations and made the whole transaction painless, including a thoughtful follow-up call to ensure we were happy to proceed on the suggested completion date. We would certainly recommend Winkworth.

The hands on service was more than just another agent trying to earn a sale. The service was personalised and the agent was excited to learn about the house and show an interest in my home. It wasn’t just another house to him. He was very considered in the offers we received and wasn’t just looking to get any offer. The offer had to be the right offer, not just in terms of financial but also in terms of what was the better offer for my situation. Very professional but very friendly. He spoke to me like a human being rather than talking down to me like other agents have done. Extremely pleased with the service from a very friendly and professional team. Highly recommended

Seb was very good, he went above and beyond!! His communication was great and extremely professional! I would certainly use Winkworths again!
Jane

Seb is a lovely guy who we really got on well with. He has the perfect mix between being 'matey' but professional at the same time. His advice on pricing our house was very good and was certainly proved right judging by the offers we received. When having a few minor issues throughout the sale of our house, Seb jumped in and helped fix all problems encountered. \nI would certainly recommend Winkworth and Seb in particular to anybody who is looking to sell their home. \nWhat we received was good old fashioned service at its best.
JACK COOK

Sebastian went the extra mile or should I say miles. \nNothing was too much trouble. Any one would be lucky to have Sebastian as an agent.

Winkworth Devizes have been amazing. The whole process of selling my house has been seamless with Claire and Seb helping with every aspect and always on hand to offer any advice. I 100% recommend using this estate agent. They go above and beyond for you.
Alex
18 August 2021
Seb was very professional and helpful. More importantly, if he didn't know the answer he'd get back to us later with the information we needed. We had met quite a few estate agents by the time we met Seb, in comparison he was very easy to work with and responsive to our requests / questions. Thank you!
Hannah
30 July 2021
We were the purchasers and had no right to expect the service we received. Seb was personable and professional and he enabled the offer. Claire acted as an enabler when the exchange process became mired and was an excellent go-between. I would not hesitate to recommend Winkworth based on our exerience
Burkitt
16 July 2021
An excellent service throughout the process which was particularly welcome as a first-time buyer. Seb's communication was always prompt and detailed and he was always on hand to answer any questions. Claire and Lisa from the branch were equally fantastic, kindly keeping the office open to accommodate a late in the day completion. Would highly recommend and greatly appreciate their professional and genuine service. Thank you!
Ben
19 March 2021
Quite simply our view of estate agents has been completely redefined and this is due to the care and attention demonstrated by the staff at Winkworths Devizes - a special thanks to Claire Markwell who would couldn't recommend highly enough. \nWe genuinely felt that Claire cared about getting a positive outcome for us and when things were going wrong - through no fault of Winkworths - we were massively assured by her calm authoritative presence and sound advice. \nWe cannot thank her enough and would recommend Winkworths as a quality outfit who treat you like a human and speak to you like a grown up. Many many thanks
Will
15 March 2021

This is the fifth sale or purchase Winkworth Devizes have carried out for us and each has been done professionally, efficiently and successfully. It does not matter which of the close knit group of staff we deal with, for all are knowledgeable, courteous and patient. This is invaluable as house transactions are often fraught and cause concern, so to have a calm and clear response either in person or on the telephone is most reassuring. The quality of the marketing is first class, from the well produced brochures, the good on line presentation through to the site visits which provide clear and accurate information without pressurising clients. We would not hesitate to use their services again if the need arises.

We have viewed many houses over the past three years with Simon and have come to know him well. His knowledge, attention to detail and generosity of time has been hallmarks of the professionalism he has shown us and we are delight that he found our ‘forever house’. It has been a pleasure working with Simon and the team.

I found Claire Markwell who is your agent on our behalf extremely informative & helpful. \nAlso she responded and acted in a very professional manner. \nI would highly recommend her as she made the whole process extremely easy as it’s never an easy process especially as one gets older ! This was highly appreciated .
Robert Macdonald
03 August 2020
We should like to thank you for all the time and effort that you put in helping with the sale of the house. We imagine it was way beyond the call of duty and a lot more difficult than your usual sales, (if there is anything like normal in these times). \nOn reflection, we probably tried to sell at one of the most difficult times, what with the uncertainties surrounding Brexit, the General Election and then Covid-19. \nAnnabel's patience and understanding during this period was exemplary and very much appreciated by both of us.
Steve Doone
23 July 2020
Very helpful and supportive, there was a bit of a wobble when covid-19 struck and Claire was furloughed... But both properties sold quickly. They seemed to weed out all the 'tyre kickers' and those who viewed were genuine. I would use them again Claire in particular was brilliant...
19 December 2019
Excellent, customer friendly staff. All questions and queries answered with honesty. nothing is/was to much trouble. I would not hesitate in using them again, and would most definitely recommend them to all.

A massive thank you to Simon Jacobs, Claire Markwell and Lisa for providing such a professional service from start to finish. You helped us throughout the whole purchasing process and kept us well informed. You honestly couldn't have done any more. We are extremely grateful and want you to know that you were undoubtedly the best agent that we viewed properties with in the area. You were by far the most professional, experienced and helpful that we met - often going the extra mile. We honestly can't thank you enough.
15 November 2019
Very pleased with sevice and advice. Having a small chain was a bonus. Great, all over before Xmas.

Would thoroughly recommend Winkworths. Their local knowledge of the market coupled with an innovative approach to exploring other marketing avenues secured the sale of our property relatively quickly. \nAlso really appreciative of the behind the scenes work done by Lisa and Claire with all parties to grease the wheels to a speedy exchange and completion!

I really took to Lisa. She is very professional but friendly and approachable too. She dealt the letting of our rental property and I was very confident that it would let at the earliest opportunity which it was. Would not hesitate to highly recommend.
Sue Skinner
12 April 2019
Prior to meeting Lisa for a viewing, I had met many agents and viewed many properties. Most of the agents were fine but I had yet to 'fall in love' with anything, until I went to visit the property I am now living in. From the moment I met Lisa, I felt she understood me and what I was looking for. From that point everything went really smoothly. Lisa is an excellent professional but also very personable. Doing business with her was a pleasure and she was genuinely pleased that I 'loved' the house. Nothing was too much trouble and she happily answered all my queries, honestly and helpfully. I hope not to move again too soon, but if I do I would ask Lisa to find me somewhere and definitely return to this agent. Thank you for making it such a painless procedure!

The staff at Winkworth Devizes were most helpful, supportive and professional. They understood our needs and, without being too forceful or 'pushy', they provided positive and clear advice. Both the sale and purchase were achieved quickly without fuss or hindrance. This confirmed our opinion from previous conveyances.

We found our perfect dream house through Winkworth and had to sell ours quickly to secure it. Winkworth were outstanding. We could not be happier with the service we received. Winkworth are efficient, energetic and utterly charming.
