I can’t recommend John Partridge enough. After taking on my house following a negative experience with another agent, he was professional, reassuring and clearly knew how to sell houses. I was updated every time a potential buyer viewed the house. 6 days later it was sold! Thank you 🙏

Winkworth Reading manage a flat I let out and after the past six or so years of working with them I wanted to put on record how professional and efficient the lettings team is from the advertising/sales through to tenant onboarding and communications, property management, accounts and regulatory compliance. I've worked through other agencies but this team knocks socks off the others.

Winkworth Reading Estate Agents have been absolutely fantastic - right through from pre-marketing our house to finalising the sale. We dealt primarily by Ken and John but every member of the team has been extremely professional and helpful - nothing was too much trouble. Trudy our sales progressor is an absolute star - if anything needs to be done then she is on to it immediately and you can feel confident that any issue will be resolved with the least amount of hassle. I would 100% recommend Winkworth Reading.

Isabelle Evely at Winkworth has been fantastic in helping us secure our new home. She was friendly and professional at the viewing, knew the property well, and answered all our questions clearly. When it came to the application and agreement, she explained each step, responded quickly, and kept things moving efficiently. She made what can be a stressful process feel straightforward. We'd highly recommend Isabelle and Winkworth to anyone searching for a rental.

Working with Ken and Trudy throughout the purchase of my home was an excellent experience. Their customer service was exceptional, and they were always readily available by phone or email whenever I needed an update or had a question. Buying a home can be a stressful process, but their prompt responses, clear communication, and high-quality updates made everything much easier and far less painful. I would highly recommend Ken and Trudy to anyone looking for a professional, responsive, and reliable service.

Winkworth Estate Agents were excellent during my first-time buyer purchase of a flat. Trudy Zemaitis was assigned to me and was excellent at keeping track of progress, poking solicitors where necessary, and keeping me informed of the situation. I felt in extremely safe hands with both Winkworth and Trudy in particular. Highly recommended.

I had an exceptionally positive experience with Winkworth and cannot recommend them highly enough. From start to finish, the level of professionalism, support and communication was outstanding. The team was consistently responsive, helpful and reassuring, keeping me informed throughout and making the entire process feel straightforward and stress-free. What impressed me most was that the service never felt merely transactional. There was a genuine sense of care, attention and willingness to help, combined with the efficiency and professionalism you would expect from a first-class agency. Every interaction was handled promptly and courteously, and I always felt that I was in very capable hands. It is increasingly rare to come across this combination of excellent communication, genuine support and consistently high professional standards. Winkworth delivered all three. A sincere thank you to the entire team for making the experience such a positive one. Truly top-notch service, and I would happily use Winkworth again in the future and recommend them to others without hesitation.

The team at Winkworth were exceptional. From the very start we were kept informed of what was happening and we were always dealt with in a friendly but professional way. A special shout out to Greg and Trudy. Greg guided us through the inevitable issues that always happen when selling a house offering sound advice but we never felt pushed into making a decision we were not comfortable with. Trudy really kept an eye on the whole process keeping in constant contact with everyone involved and pushing the sale through. Many thanks to everyone involved!

I had an excellent experience with Winkworth throughout the purchase of my new home. From the very beginning, Greg, the Sales Manager, was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and supportive. I viewed several properties before finally finding the right one, and Greg was always patient, accommodating, and never made me feel rushed or pressured. Once my offer was accepted, he managed the negotiations and communication with the vendor exceptionally well, ensuring that every query I had was answered promptly and clearly. His experience and calm approach made what could have been a stressful process feel straightforward and well managed. A special thank you to Trudy, the Sales Coordinator, who was outstanding throughout the transaction. She kept everything moving smoothly, provided regular updates, and ensured that all parties stayed on track. She was always kind, approachable, and quick to respond whenever I had questions or needed clarification. Her attention to detail and proactive communication gave me great confidence throughout the process. The coordination between Winkworth, the vendor, and my solicitor was handled professionally from start to finish. The exchange of contracts took place within the agreed timescales, and the completion was managed seamlessly. On completion day, everything was well organised, and the keys were handed over on time without any issues. Buying a home can be stressful, but Greg and Trudy made the entire experience smooth, transparent, and enjoyable. Their professionalism, dedication, excellent communication, and genuine willingness to help were evident at every stage. I would highly recommend Winkworth to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. Thank you both for making my home-buying journey such a positive experience!

Not only are Winkworth Reading a group of professionals, they are also humans - which is nuance missed by many other companies. Not only are you treated well, supported through the process of searching and buying a property, you are also treated like a person, during a stressful period. Would like to thank John especially. Would highly recommend Winkworth!

We contacted Winkworth regarding our need to let a 3 bedroom, 2 bath apartment in Central Reading, beginning in July 2026. We were fortunate to receive a reply from Charlotte Ebdon “Executive Assistant to the Directors at Winkworth”. Right from the start, Charlotte made us feel we were in the right hands with no problem being too much for her, despite us being in California with no British credit history. After ascertaining our needs and preferences, she quickly found the perfect apartment for us. Every step was then clearly explained and dealt with in an efficient and systematic manner. She facilitated a smooth application process for us with the apartment owner. Charlotte’s warm personality made this whole process manageable for us and we are very happy with our new rental apartment.

We have had the most amazing support from Greg and Trudy at Winkworth whilst selling our house. Their expertise has guided us through the whole process, we could not have done this without them. They have taken us through step by step, keeping us updated, telling us what we need to do next. It is a very stressful time selling your house but Winkworth made it happen for us, we cannot recommend them enough, they are amazing, don't chose any other Estate Agent

John Partridge provided an excellent service throughout my property purchase. From the initial stages through to completion, he was consistently professional, responsive, and proactive. Communication was always prompt, and he took the time to answer my questions clearly and thoroughly, which made the entire process much less stressful. He was particularly effective at coordinating communication between myself and the seller, ensuring that any issues or queries were addressed efficiently and without unnecessary delays. His advice was practical, honest, and genuinely helpful at key stages of the transaction. I would highly recommend John to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and reliable estate agent. His professionalism and commitment to keeping the process moving smoothly were greatly appreciated throughout my purchase.

Absolutely fantastic service from Winkworth, we sold our 4 bed house and brought new. The end to end journey was made a whole lot easier, from the valuation and viewings through to the great communication and updates from Trudy.

Winkworth have been absolutely amazing for us. Ken in particular has been super helpful in facilitating our purchase. As first time buyers, we didn't really know what to expect when we started (AIP? Survey?? Mortgage offer??? WHAT????) But Ken has been so open with us and quick to respond to any questions or queries that the whole process has been relatively stress free (so far). On top of this, they've all just been really nice, approachable and easy to talk to. These guys are definitely worth working with if you're looking at buying, can't say the same about selling as we're not at that stage yet! But I can say that when we do come to sell, we'll definitely be getting in contact with them. On the 31st of July 2026, we complete on our first house, and we couldn't have done it without the expert help from the team at Winkworth. In particular, Trudy was absolutely fantastic at listening to our needs and communicating them with the sellers. When the process started I felt quite out of my depth, but Trudy really made it feel easier with her reassurance and explanations. Ken also made the whole process easier, being our 'go-to' guy for any extra viewings. When we collected our keys from the office, the whole team seemed delighted for us, and they even gifted us a hamper with a few things to get us started in our new property. Truly a great experience and a team I would recommend to anyone wanting to buy their first property!

I had a very good experience as a landlord letting out a flat through Winkworth. Unlike some other agents, Winkworth did not overpromise, they were very open and honest and they delivered beyond my expectations. Every single member of the team was very professional and responsive. I would have no hesitation in recommending Winkworth Reading. I have also used their services for selling a flat and they were equally good. Special Thanks to John P. for his fantastic support throughout the process
