Gareth provided outstanding support during the sale of my late mother's property. His efficient approach and excellent communication skills were a huge help and it made a very difficult situation much easier to cope with. His intervention at key point of the sale was invaluable in order to keep the process on track. Although I had limited communication with his team they were also very helpful and responsive. I therefore have no hesitation in recommending Winkworth Mudeford Estate Agents.

Harvey was the estate agent for the seller of the property we are purchasing, and he has been incredibly helpful throughout the process. As first-time buyers, we had lots of questions and uncertainties, but Harvey was always available to provide clear guidance and support. He was responsive, professional, and kept us informed every step of the way, helping to make what can be a stressful process much smoother. We would definitely recommend Harvey to anyone buying or selling a property. Thank you for all your help!

We started our house search with Nick who has been very helpful, friendly and easy to deal with. Our whole process has taken some time, Nick has been very patient with us and has always been happy to help. Even though we didn't end up using Winkworth, Nick was very understanding and wished us luck. Would very recommend Winkworth Mudeford as the whole team were very friendly and always helped when they could.

We recently bought our first home with Winkworth and worked with Harvey who was nothing short of wonderful. From sending us properties to helping us liaise with our sellers and their solicitors, we were kept in the loop at every step and any questions met with a quick reply. He also helped my parents-in-law with the purchase of their property and I would happily recommend him to anyone else looking to buy. Thanks so much! :)

Harvey stood out for his consistently excellent communication. He responded promptly to all our queries and kept in touch regularly with updates. If it hadn’t have been for his hard work we may have missed out on our lovely new home in Mudeford .Thank you! Andrea and Paul

Gareth and Nick were both involved in the sale of our house. After finding a buyer they were both up to speed with the current progress at all times. In dealing with other agents this was far from the case. Both their manner and expertise in the market are a big asset.

Bought and sold my house through Winkworths, I had a great experience with Nick and Gareth, They were both really knowledgeable, easy to deal with, and always kept me in the loop. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and they made the whole process feel straightforward and stress-free. It’s clear they genuinely care about their clients and go the extra mile to get things done properly. If you’re looking for an estate agent in the area, I’d 100% recommend them!

Having bought our first house from Winkworth, we knew how excellent Gareth and the team were, and didn't hesitate to both sell - and then buy our new house from them too! They offered great advice, kept us informed along every step of the way, and were just so helpful at every step - nothing was too much for them. We’ve been so impressed with the service we’ve received from Winkworth over the years, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for an estate agent who delivers excellent results with a personal touch. Thank you so much to Gareth, Nick, Harvey and the rest of the team at Winkworth!

During the sale of our property Gareth and his Team were extremely professional and kept us very well informed, always on hand to reassure and advise. Our sale was quite challenging at times due to inconsistent buyers however I would not hesitate to recommend Winkworth’s Mudeford Office, a special thank you to Nick Rogers for his professional consistency through the whole process.

The team at Mudeford Winkworth were really helpful to me as a buyer. In particular, Harvey kept in touch throughout the process and when completion was late in the day, provision was made for late collection of keys for which I was extremely grateful.

Can only say good things about my experience with Winkworth. We dealt primarily with Harvey, and also with Gareth, who were both very helpful and responsive whilst never being overly pushy. Would highly recommend and made buying our first home a better experience as a result.

Started looking for a house with Gareth a year ago. He kept in touch all the time making sure I knew when a property was coming onto the market. Other agents just sent me emails of properties which were a bit hit and miss. Gareth always informed me of details that were within the guidelines and price that we discussed when we registered with Winkworth. We purchased a beach hut through Winkworth and had the same attention to detail as if we were buying a high end home not a 6 x 8 wooden shed. I have also used Winkworth to value a home and they gave me honest feedback and a good understanding of the current market nationally and for this area. Everyone in the office is always so welcoming and they were so excited for me when we purchased a home even though it wasn't one of their listings. Highly recommended.

In a business World where profitability appears to drive and rule over understanding, establishing and meeting Customers requirements it is rare to find a Company that bucks this unwelcome trend. Well Hallelujah we have just been lucky enough to have been looked after by Mike Watters from Winkworth Estate Agents Highcliffe who definitely have a commitment to a ‘Customer First’ ethos. From the very beginning of our property search to having recently completed on a New build apartment purchase Mike held our hands throughout and nothing was too much trouble. I have forgotten the number of times that I asked Mike to meet us on site as the build progressed and not once did he decline. Always there with a smile and guiding hand particularly at a time when emotions were running high. This is an extremely well run and professional Team of Agents who make you feel at ease as they actively take the journey with you, understanding your requirements and responding to your questions and fears in a timely and understanding manner. Our sincere thanks to Mike and the team for making a potentially awkward and painful exercise stress free.
