Rachel was really kind and helpful throughout the whole process. As this was my first rental, I was not familiar with a few things and was guided through everything. I found it easy to talk to them and everything happened exceptionally quickly!

No complaints with Winkworth through the process of purchasing our new family home. Gibson in particular was an extremely good communicator and kept us fully up to date when required throughout the process. There were certainly moments where we leant on him for a calm and experienced voice as the ups and downs of a property purchase were navigated! Thanks Gibson and team.

This was my third agency whilst trying to sell property in New Cross and honestly it finally felt and went just as it should. Branch director Gibson was very open in clear in proposing marketing strategy which worked as intended. My agent Ozlem was very proactive, did a great job at negotiating the offer and ultimately remained very responsive and involved in the process till the very happy end. I would highly recommend this agency to anyone looking to sell/buy property in New Cross.

I was recently assisted by Nathan. I called to enquire about a property. He was extremely helpful and diligent in sharing his professional advice as well as other properties he thought suited my needs. As someone with experience in the industry, I know how dishonest and tedious it can be. Nathan handled my needs with sincerity, professionalism and class.

I couldn't be happier with Winkworth—especially Sadie and Zulekha in the management team. Their communication was just brilliant. It was such a comfort knowing they’d always pick up the phone or reply to emails right away if I needed them. They're total pros!

Both Zulekha and Reyan have been very helpful and my property looks very well maintained. When an urgent gas repair was needed Zulekha swiftly arrangedfor a company with expertise to deal with it. Winkworth is a very well run estate agency and I can only praise them for the excellent service they have given me in Beckenham.
