I rented with Winkworth for four years, and it was genuinely a pleasure using their service. Natasha and her team helped me secure the flat in the first place to dealing with any issues relating to the property or the building itself, everything was always handled promptly and professionally. Whenever I contacted them, I usually received a response within the same day, and any issues were dealt with efficiently. At the end of my tenancy, my full deposit was also refunded without any problems. Having rented through several different agencies over the years, I can confidently say Winkworth were by far the best and easiest to deal with. I’m really glad I had the opportunity to experience such a positive and professional service. I would definitely recommend them!

Leon hosted our viewing and he was absolutely amazing, he was personable and had great knowledge of the area/property as to answer and questions we had. We also didn’t feel rushed at all when viewing, he allowed to take our time to inspect the property.

I recently rented my property through Winkworth and the experience was absolutely seamless from start to finish. Hassle-free, straightforward, and they made the whole process incredibly simple — exactly what you want as a landlord. Throughout every stage, they were thorough, on the mark, and gave me complete peace of mind with no worries whatsoever. Natasha and Ian are a brilliant team — always willing to help, always one step ahead, and nothing is ever too much trouble. The quality of service is second to none and I would not hesitate for a single moment to appoint them as my agents again. If you're looking for agents you can truly rely on, look no further. Highly recommended!

I've just got to say what a fantastic service my family and myself have had from Winkworths, Wellingborough Road. Ours was a difficult sale for reason's beyond our control, but Ian especially was unbelievable to us. He kept us updated throughout our journey, and was more a friend than estate agent, along with all the staff. My family would just like to say a massive thank you.

Professional and friendly team that helped make a very trying time more bearable. Not in the least bit pushy like some agents who were constantly badgering us after we had appointed Ian and his team. Highly recommended . Thank you.

I’ve been renting with Winkworth for the past 2.5 years. All along the process, they were extremely professional, quick to respond and always friendly. They never needed to be chased, they would chase you to get the issues resolved. Everytime something would go wrong with the property, I would have it sorted within 24 hours. They go above and beyond to make sure their tenants are happy. Big shout out to Natasha, Kayleigh and Ian. Strongly recommend them.

I cannot recommend Winkworth Estate Agents in Northampton highly enough. Ian Simons and the team are consummate professional, and fantastic people. Nothing, and I mean nothing is to much trouble for them. Ian handled the sale of our house, and the sale of another we were responsible for. It all went very well; difficult situations were dealt with, with minimal stress to ourselves. The buyer of our house was guided every step of the way, as required. When things looked like going completely wrong Ian stepped in and guided the sale home on time. Legend. Thanks, Winkworth, for all you’re help guidance and understanding.

Top notch service from the beginning of the letting process to the end. Kayleigh, a very professional letting agent had time to explain every process and despite the delay from my side ,she was very patient and handled everything professionally.

I've been incredibly impressive by the diligent service provided by Winkworths while handling the sale of our house. We were in a complicated chain and from the outset, they kept us updated regularly on how everything was progressing and handled problems that arose calmly and professionally. The way they marketed our house was fantastic and the strong listing led to a great offer very quickly. Selling a house is very stressful but they made it as smooth as possible throughout. I'd recommend their services very highly if you are looking to buy or sell. Thank you again to Ryan, Ian and the team.

Exceptional service from start to finish. Thanks for making our house purchase smooth and drama free. Ryan was an excellent agent who's support and communication throughout the purchase was fantastic. Can't recommend Winkworth Agency enough, if we ever move house again will definitely be calling on their services.

We have received a brilliant service from Winkworths estate agents when selling our house. From the beginning there was lots of viewings booked in, we always received feedback and was kept in the loop with any progress. A special mention to Ian, he has been absolutely amazing, I believe he really has gone over and above what I expected and made the whole process run so smoothly for us, within my chain there was a date that we had to be moved by and he made it happen, genuinely such a nice man who helped us so much. We completed and moved in within approx 9/10 weeks.. so grateful. Would definitely recommend.

We had a great experience selling our house through Winkworth, our house was sold within a few weeks of marketing and we achieved more than what we were expecting to. They’ve been very on top of chasing solicitors and even helped push our purchase through alongside. We have been kept up-to-date throughout, they’ve made both selling and buying a much smoother process.

Would not hesitate to recommend Winkworths, an estate agent that does their job in a highly professional manner, with experience to handle all situations. Manager Ian has kept us informed all the through the process of sale. Would we use them again ? Yes without doubt. Lovely friendly service always made to feel welcome. Thanks again Ian & staff.

Winkworth were the Estate Agents selling the house we wanted. We were impressed with the photos online and the virtual tour (which is really useful before the sale is complete because you can keep looking at everything in detail). Ian Simons communicated well with me, he kept me in the loop, chased up solicitors, surveyors etc. and kept in contact before during and after the sale. When we eventually sell our house, I will absolutely be using Winkworth in Northampton. Brilliant service.

The team at Northampton went over and above when selling our house. Ryan did out of hours viewings including evenings and Sundays. Our property was sold within 2 weeks, and they achieved a sale price of more than what we were hoping for. They have been great at supporting and advising us even with regards to finding a new home. We have been kept fully up to date along the way.

We selected Ian from a group of three estate agents who submitted valuations for a family members property. We were drawn to his professionalism and market knowledge when appraising the property. The property was marketed professionally and we were informed at every stage of the progression with viewings and marketing . Ian was instrumental in ensuring smooth and prompt contract exchange and sale completion . At every stage , Ian and his team ensured the property sale went smoothly . We live out of the county so his help, local contacts and support were invaluable . I would have no hesitation in recommending Ian and his team .

I was so happy with the service provided by Ian and I never thought I would be saying this about an estate agent! He was incredibly proactive and organised without being pushy and really made the process very smooth. I would recommend to anyone.

Would not hesitate to recommend Ian and Winkworths. The photos for a start were amazing (compared to another agent I was using for another sale), they really showed the place off. There were (unrelated to Winkworths) issues towards the end of the sale process which Ian personally got involved in and sorted without question. No question, a great estate agent!

I engaged Winkworths to sell my leasehold property on recommendation from a friend. They weren't the cheapest - but I valued her opinion and will always be very glad I chose to give Winkworths my business. Ian guided and supported me through the protracted and exasperating sale of my flat and purchase of a house a hundred miles away - a staunch and caring ally through some really sanity-testing times, what with Covid and various anomalies on both homes. I really cannot rate him and Winkworths highly enough, and have no hesitation in recommending this organisation wholeheartedly.

My experience with Winkworth was so far one of the best experiences that I’ve had with a letting agency in Northampton. They are very professional, they are very good at their job and they are there to help you and answer the phone when is needed. I started renting with them for the first time in December and I am very happy with their services. Nikki was the person that I’ve spoken with the most. She always wanted to help and she made sure that I’m satisfied with all the services that they can offer me. Very happy with her services. Another person that I would like to mention is Ian. He was very responsive and made sure that the condition of the flat is ideal before I moved in.
