We were selling my father's flat and it was a long drawn out process for us. It had been on the market with two agents previously for a long time with no joy. Winkworth's were very proactive and good at keeping me in touch with how they were getting on at all times. They managed to get a good offer in short period of time of being instructed and we are both very grateful to them for getting the sale through.

We cannot thank the team at Winkworth enough for helping us finally get into our forever home. What should have been a straightforward journey turned into a real emotional roller coaster, with buyers pulling out along the way and countless challenges that tested our patience and resilience. Throughout it all, Neil went above and beyond, providing unwavering support, guidance, and determination to keep everything moving forward when it felt like the odds were against us. His commitment and persistence made all the difference. A huge thank you also goes to Louise, Helena, George and Max, whose hard work, professionalism and encouragement helped us navigate every twist and turn. The whole team were fantastic, always keeping us informed and reassured during what was often a stressful process. After such a long and challenging journey, we finally got there in the end, and we couldn't be happier. We are now settled into our forever home and absolutely love it. Thank you all for your dedication, patience and support. We will always be grateful for everything you did to make this happen. We highly recommend Winkworth to anyone looking for an estate agent that genuinely cares and goes the extra mile for their clients.

I sold my house with Winkworths and was very impressed with their communication, marketing of my property and professional service. I highly recommend - having bought and sold houses through many different agents, Winkworths were by far the most efficient and effective.

Genuinely it was a pleasure to deal with all the staff at Winkworth Poole (Penn Hill branch). Having been badly let down by the previous agent selling for us, it was a refreshing switch to Winkworth, who couldn't have been a greater contrast - timely, efficient and personable. Absolutely recommended. Thank you to Neil, Louise et al.

The whole team at Winkworth Penn Hill were incredibly helpful throughout the process. It was a long purchase period (due to buyers solicitors) and they were supportive from start to finish. Hopefully won’t have to move again soon but if I had to use Estate Agents, it would be Neil’s team. Sincerely - Thank you again!

George and the team at Winkworth were fantastic from start to finish. Despite a challenging market, they positioned our property perfectly to secure a successful sale and managed the purchase of our new home seamlessly. I would happily recommend them to friends and family.

If you are considering which one of the 100's of estate agents to use I cannot recommend the team at Winkworth enough. Please do not waste you time getting sub-standard service from another agent. The team at Winkworth Penn Hill are next level. They are attentive, professional, well organised, highly commercial and really did exceed my expectations. I have dealt with more than 20 agents in the area and they could all learn from Neils team in Penn Hill. Every touch point with this team was brilliant. They turned up to viewings on time. They know when to be salesy and when to be quiet. They look professional, they do what they said they would do. They pushed in the right places and went well beyond what was expected. When I come to sell or buy I wouldn't consider any other agent. I cannot understand why every house in the area is listed with the. Simply brilliant....thanks Neil, Louise, Max, George and the rest of the team.

Winkworth were our chosen agents to market our loved home. The whole team were outstanding in their approach, advice and updates. They sold our house quickly and took time and diligence to see the sale go through smoothly. We cannot thank them enough and I would recommend them to anyone wishing for a complete professional service. Thank you.

My partner & I have just bought a house assisted by George Webb & I highly recommend him as he went above & beyond what a normal estate agent would do! 🥰🤩😁 He even took time out of his personal life to help my partner Martin with his banking app! He was also very sympathetic & reassuring during all the stressful times & was absolutely amazing! If I could give him 100 stars I would but unfortunately the website only lets me give 5 stars! I will definitely recommend him to my friends when they buy a house A big thanks to George @ Winkworth Penn Hill from Martin & Amy! You are fantastically amazing! 🥰🥳🎊🎉☺️🥂😁

A Smooth and Stress-Free Apartment Purchase! We have recently completed the purchase of our apartment through Winkworth, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the service we received from start to finish from George, Neil and the team at Winkworth From the start, George took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and provided transparent, objective advice throughout the negotiation stage. What truly sets Winkworth apart is their outstanding sales progression. We were kept updated at every single milestone, and whenever the process hit a snag with stakeholders, the team was incredibly proactive in chasing every party to keep the momentum going. Including George making special requirements with the rest of the tenants Their communication was rapid, clear, and reassuring, which turned what could have been a very stressful final few weeks into a dream come true. The level of professionalism and local expertise shown by George, Neil and the rest of the team is second to none. It felt like we had a genuine partner in our corner who cared about getting us into our new home as much as we did. We are extremely grateful for all their hard work and would recommend Winkworth without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell. Thank you for helping us secure our dream apartment, we are very happy here.

We were looking to buy a house for about a year. Winkworths had the most listings meeting our criteria. Before we finally managed to buy our new home we had two unsuccessful potential transactions. One was where we were outbid and the other was a chain which fell through. Despite these setbacks George Webb and his team at Winkworths continued to help and support us for almost a year in our house search process. George was able to schedule all viewings almost immediately and if needed the follow up was swift and effective. We also appreciated clear and prompt communication with George and his team and very helpful advice on the many questions which we raised as first time buyers. We are absolutely certain that if it were not for George’s and his fantastic Winkworths team’s highly professional skills and approach we would not be living in our dream home now!

I bought a house through Winkworth in March, just before the Stamp duty increament. George was very cooperative and kept me informed. He was always approachable. We managed to exchange the contract and completion before deadline. I'll definitely recommend.

I have recently completed on the sale of my property in Poole. I was on the market with one company for a year and the property drew little interest. I changed agents to Winkworths in Poole who I would now happily recommend to anyone selling their property. They were very professional throughout the process keeping me well informed. When there were problems or changes of buyers as occurred they were extremely proactive as a Team to ensure a sale and positive conclusion.

I cannot recommend Winkworth in Poole highly enough. Both on a professional and personal level helping with clients in my workplace and personally on sale and purchases of my own properties. The whole team especially Neil, George, Helena and Louise are so approachable, extremely knowledgeable, trustworthy and reliable. Thank you for all of your help over the many years I’ve been dealing with you.

Could not recommend enough, Neil and his team were amazing. There were complications with other parts of the chain, none of them due to Winkworth Penn Hill but they were the glue that held it all together. They went above and beyond with thier service and were always available to help. They were professional throughout and made the process as easy as possible.

Winkworth Estate Agents were representing the seller of the flat I purchased earlier this year and I originally dealt with Helena and then George Webb competed the process. I have to say both Winkworth reps were amazing. George was outstanding with his customer service, going the extra mile at every opportunity and there were quite a few frustrating challenges and delays with the process, none of them due to Winkworth I may add, however George supported myself and the seller fantastically. Communication from George was spot on. He was professional yet empathetic from the moment I spoke to him and as it was a 300 mile move for me and rather emotional changing every aspect of my life, I really appreciated his time, kindness and support. Can't say enough about how brilliant Winkworth are and I would recommend their service wholeheartedly.

We went to market with our house using Neil and his team at Winkworths and it was the best decision we could have made. from the very start the team filled us with confidence and were the ultimate professional mixed with friendly service anyone could expect when selling their home. They always called you back ,always answered emails and were always forthcoming with making contact when they had updates during the sales process. I would recommend them to anyone who is wanting to sell their home in our opinion we could not have asked for better service

Neil and the team were excellent from the start with a really professional appraisal and once agreed to sell, the team were constantly updating on progress to market. Again during the sales process Neil, George and Helena were great in advising status and letting us know of any questions from the buyer. The sale progressed quickly and we were delighted with the result. Many thanks and keep up the good work

I have both bought and sold through Winkworth and have always been satisfied and even impressed by their service. Their depth of knowledge of the local market is second to none. Before we marketed, they highlighted detailed features of our property that even we were not aware of. I have also found their market insights to be extremely helpful and their predictions accurate. Neil and his team have a genuine drive to take care of their clients. Their customer service has consistently been faultless and they set the bar for estate agents. If we ever sell, we would always choose Winkworth and we regularly recommend them to friends. Thanks to Neil, Helena, Lewis, George and the rest of the team for all your support!

We purchased our dream property through Winkworth Poole and were very impressed with the service provided by George and his Team. Friendly but professional in all respects. Our sale (through another agent) was extremely protracted and there were a number of occasions when we thought we would lose our purchase. George stayed on side and kept us in the frame until a successful completion was reached.

Will Brown was the agent who I dealt with, he was accommodating, professional, and really welcoming when I viewed the property. He explained things clearly and answered any questions promptly. I would highly recommend his / the estate agents services.

Outstanding service from Lewis at Winkworth, he made the process of purchasing our house so much easier and a lot less stressful, I really don't think we could've got this far without all the support and help from Lewis. We had some difficulties with the conveyancers and Lewis was always on hand to help, he'd call and chase anything we needed, he went absolutely above and beyond for us and we are truly grateful. He answered any queries we had about the house, was swift in arranging visits so we could do measurements etc. He is an asset to the Winkworth team and we wish him all the best for the future. We would wholeheartedly recommend Winkworth (certainly Lewis), they have been incredible and I cannot fault them at all. Thank you again, Lewis and the team at Winkworth. Sophie and Steve.
