    Amazing service I can't lie

    First time buying a property. During viewings met many others but none as professional, friendly and helpful as those at Winkworth. Very happy that they were the ones who assisted me with my chosen property purchase and would definitely recommend! Thanks so much for everything

    Could not have asked for a better service

    It took us thirteen months to exchange a commercial property to expand our surgery and improve access. It was a tedious journey, sometimes very frustrating and filled with hopelessness but Winkworth was always by our side, supporting us, encouraging us, and believing in us. They did everything they could, and more, to help us cross the line. Thanks a lot for all your help and the brilliant service you provided, throughout!

    Quality service from start to finish

    We were selling and buying a home at the same time and initially contacted Winkworth for a valuation on our property. An appointment was organised with Robin who was friendly and professional. He came prepared and was realistic with the selling price. From that appointment we decided to use Winkworth to sell our home. Robin also recommended and obtained quotes from various solicitors and surveyors which were competitive. Next we met Michael he came over and took the photos for the listing. Again, he was courteous and professional. The listing was of an excellent quality. \nWhilst we were looking for our new home, Robin gave advice on the prices and how that sits within the market. When we found the home we wanted, Robin was instrumental in ensuring that we got our offer accepted. He spoke to the estate agent selling it and gave advice to us in terms of negotiating a deal. \nThrough out the sale and buying we were kept up to date by Nicola and Sarah. They were both prompt on emails/calls and were always willing to answer our questions. Nicola and Sarah were very helpful at keeping our buyers on board when we discovered a leak in the property we were selling. \nAll in all the process of both buying and selling took about three months. The service received by everyone we came in to contact with was of a high standard. I would not hesitate to use them again in the future should we need!

    Fantastic support for selling our property!

    Robin and the whole Winkworth team have been great support to us for selling our property at the moment when the property market started to become quite volatile and uncertain. Robin guided us through the whole transaction which involved a complex chain, offering his trustworthy advice at every step in the process, from the first moment we decided to put our house on the market, through to the very last stages of exchange and completion. \nRobin is very experienced and knowledgeable, and at the same time personal, kind, empathetic and supportive. His approach involves thorough market research, knowledge of market conditions and trends, so he gave us the right advice in terms of asking price. The Winkworth team then prepared a very professional marketing material, followed by proactive search for potential buyers from their database and through various web sites. House viewings were done in a very professional yet personable way, demonstrating high degree of emotional intelligence. Finally, Robin’s support through the negotiation process and closing the deal was invaluable, as well as his proactive engagement through chasing all further steps to close the chain and complete the legal process. \nI cannot recommend enough Robin and the whole team – you will be in very safe hands if you are selling your property!

    Highly recommended ... for multiple reasons!

    I've bought, sold, and rented properties through Winkworth over many years. Their experience, professionalism, and constant approach to 'going beyond' what is expected makes them THE stand-out Agent in Reading IMO. Highly recommend.

    Simply the best!

    Winkworth have consistently provided a service ABOVE and BEYOND for over 10 years now! And most recently they sold a property for us that had never ending issues & challenges. They took charge and managed the process with perfection. We will only use Winkworth for our property lettings and sales. Simply the best!

    Excellent service from Winkworth

    We sincerely recommend Winkworth estate agent. We found them to be professional and effective throughout the whole process of selling our house. We had a good experience from marketing the property, through to exchange and eventual completion. There were, of course, the inevitable snags but Robin was there to push for a resolution and was a calming and friendly presence for which we are really grateful!

    Friendly and Helpful

    Viewing the property was easy and placing an offer was a very streamlined process. Even though the landlord pulled out to sell at the last minute, the staff answered all questions happily and gave useful and friendly answers. I really appreciated the communication. All replies were given quickly.

    MAGNIFICENT TEAM THAT WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND

    I was selling a home I had been in for 34 years and renting a furnished property. I was completely daunted at the start of the process but absolutely everyone in both selling and leasing teams worked so hard and pulled together to make this happen. I particularly need to mention Robin not only for his undoubted professionalism but also his kind support and his going the extra miles (literally) to make exchange happen in time for my tenancy to start with minimal hassle. Nicola was for ever there with patient advice and Ayisha helped unravel the intricacies of renting. Thank you all.

    Jill

  • 21 July 2023

    Winkworth were fantastic with the management and sale of my rental property. Extra thanks to Nicola for handling the sale, she went above and beyond to ensure that it progressed as quickly as possible & kept me updated throughout. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their services.

  • 13 July 2023

    Superb service from the initial contact to the sale

    We had a need to sell our house within a short timescale and with some complications - we had a tenant in situ when the process started. From the very beginning Robin and the team worked with great professionalism and energy. We had attention when we needed it; it was clear a lot of effort was going on behind the scenes on our behalf. This included liaising with our tenant, helping to set the right atmosphere and expectations. The advice we were given was sound; when a tweak to the sales strategy was needed a plan had already been assembled. Robin and his team marketed the property strongly and communicated well with us, our solicitor, our eventual buyer and their representatives. They achieved a sale inside our necessary timescale and at a higher price than we had anticipated. I would highly recommend Winkworths and am grateful to Robin and his team in making the process of selling a house as straightforward and efficient as possible.

    John

  • 13 July 2023

    Highly recommended - from first meeting to sale completion - a personal service

    Robin's first piece of advice, which struck a chord, was 'sell the house for what it is, not what it's not!' This was hugely reassuring and led onto a very professionally led process of appointments, viewings feedback, selection of potential buyer, successful offer and exchange of contracts. \nWe very much enjoyed working with Robin and his team and thank them very much for meeting our expectations in terms of the sale of our property.

    Stellar Experience with Winkworth Reading: Kudos to Robin Miles

    Selling our apartment was no walk in the park - we hit some bumps along the way, but thankfully we found ourselves in the capable hands of Robin Miles from Winkworth Reading. The agency knows the property market inside out, but it was Robin who was our real hero, combining his knowledge with his easy-going approach to steer us through the process. \nRobin was like a breath of fresh air, always ready to answer our questions and untangle the complex world of real estate for us. When we hit snags, he was there with solutions and a calm, positive outlook. We weren't just another client to him; he cared about us and our sale as if it were his own. It wasn't just his friendliness, but his dedication to getting us the best deal that made the difference. \nIn short, Robin and the team at Winkworth Reading turned a tricky process into a success story. If you're thinking about selling or buying, I can't recommend them highly enough. Their mix of professionalism and real care for their clients is second to none.

  • 23 May 2023

    I have purchased a property with this agency and I was happy in all the steps from viewing to the key delivery, they are very supportive, considerate, kind and patient. They also helped me with my offer to reach a fair deal and I could save 5K on the asking price. Strongly recommended, No doubt.

    Saeid

  • 10 May 2023

    I would recommend Winkworth Reading without hesitation!

    My first interaction was with Michael Foldvari whose knowledge of the local market, in terms of pricing and strategies for selling were exceptional. \nNicola Roberts conducted all viewings and provided potential buyers with extensive information about the property and the local area. \nWe agreed a sale within the first week of marketing and achieved in excess of the asking price. \nTo say the sale process has been seamless would not be an understatement.

    Fantastic Service

    From booking the viewing to putting an offer, Winkworth was very helpful in the whole process. They are also quick in answering queries and managed to signpost me to appropriate people being a first time buyer. I’m absolutely satisfied with my experience. Can’t wait for the completion. Thank you to all staff at Winkworth Reading. I highly recommend this company.

    Wish we came to you first

    After trying to sell our house for 6 months with another agent, it was refreshing to get an honest valuation with reasons behind it rather than a guess price to get the property on the books ! Robin gave us a way forward and told us exactly what they would do and when they would do it. The house was sold start to finish in eight weeks with Nicola always updating us on comments from perspective buyers and advising us when the house was sold on how the sale was progressing. We were very impressed, we highly recommend them for selling and hopefully they can find us a new house in the future.

    Great service during sale

    Big thank you to Michael and the team for their support and advice during my house sale. I would highly recommend. It's had its ups and downs over the last few month but they were always professional, were great with communication and went above and beyond my expectations at times throughout the process

    John

  • 08 February 2023

    Would highly recommend

    We recently sold our flat through Winkworth and would highly recommend them. Their price was as good as we found and we couldn’t fault the service. Robin was knowledgeable on the local market, both in terms of prices and strategies for selling under the current conditions. We were happy with the feedback we got from Nicola after viewings and then the regular communication from Robin thereafter. We sold our flat after the first day of viewings and achieved the top end of what we were hoping for (and above what other estate agents had suggested). \nOur purchase ended up being particularly stressful due to delays and poor communication from our buyer and their solicitor. Robin was very good at chasing both to ensure we made our completions deadline. I honestly don’t believe we would have made our deadline without Robin’s tenacity. \nI have no regrets using Winkworth what so ever and would highly recommend them.

    The team were quick to respond, helpful and genuinely really nice throughout.

    Would not have happened without YOU!

    There are times in life where you need to heed the advice of those who know more than you. Nicola Roberts knew how to get my sale over the line, and she did! In doing that, she kept me sane and amused! That said, she is professional, so hardworking, relentless and full of integrity, I have no hesitation in giving this 5 star review. Thank you Nicola, and a shout out to James too, what a great team you have!

  • 07 December 2022

    Excellent Service from Offer to Completion

    We were initially renting a property through Winkworth and had just had a house purchase fall through on the sellers side. When our rental agent heard about this, he got his colleague in the house sales department to get in touch with us as they’d just had a similar property come on the market. This impressed me as it showed that both the sales and rentals departments communicate with each other. \nAfter seeing the house, and throughout the process of submitting the offer right down to completion, our agent, Robin, was a true professional. He gave us the details we needed to make an informed decision, was very courteous and professional in his communications, and kept us up to date with everything that was going on with the process, leaving us wanting for nothing. Excellent service, would highly recommend!

    Superb service - best agent in Reading

    Winkworth looked after my properties over the last 7 years on all aspects of letting, property management and sales. From the  first time I stepped into their office, I have felt I am in good hands. They are bunch of hard working, friendly and responsive agents who numerous times went the extra mile for me.   Throughout these years they provided superb service. They are honest and sensible and won't tempt you with unrealistic figures just to get you to sign in.   They know the area as the back of their hands and will give you realistic figures so that you will let or sell your property quickly.   I wholeheartedly recommend their services.

  • 04 November 2022

    Fantastic support for my difficult sale

    I would highly recommend Winkworth and particularly Robin, we had quite a long and difficult sale and he supported us through every step, going above and beyond what I’d ever expect. \nI truly believe that without Robin’s intervention and expertise our sale could potentially have fallen through several times. I felt in very safe hands with Robin and I would trust him with a sale of my property again in the future - I can’t thank him enough.

    Thank you so much to Robin, and Winkworth on the whole, who have provided us with an above and beyond service. Robin has been continually attentive toward us and has not hesitated to go the extra mile in helping to ensure things were moving throughout our purchase process. We felt that Robin was a reliable, honest and trustworthy agent and we felt in great hands. I would recommended using Winkworth at any point, they have been excellent. Thank you.

    Winkworth's is one of my preferred agents I deal with in Reading for Lettings. \nI am always sourcing rental properties for my clients at the Football Club, and they never fail me, they are quick, its smooth and are always on hand to advise and help. I cant recommend enough to anyone who is new in the area.

    Excellent Team Effort

    Having sold properties through Romans and Prospects we invited them to value the property as well as Winkworth, having considered five estate agents in Reading. We have had good dealings with Romans and Prospects but Winkworth's sales pitch was strong, rates highly competitive and from the first meeting through advertising, offer stage and then through to exchange and ultimately completion, they have proved very professional and attentive. We have been very impressed. So a huge 'Thank You!' We will be in touch again in the future.

    Best agency in Reading

    Winkworth is the best agency in Reading. I will recommend the agency to my family and friends. Robin Miles who is very intelligent, hard working, kind, very professional, passionate with his job. He is the best seller I would say. He sold my house very quick, thank you Robin.

    Jing Mary

  • 18 August 2022

    My initial impression was that Robin had a genuine interest in property and a thoroughness of approach. This was confirmed as the sale proceeded, and enhanced by the willingness of other members of staff to exert themselves. Their honesty regarding valuation and marketing is particularly worthy of note, and is something I wish all estate agents would pursue.

He is very knowledgeable, sincere and always available to help, exceeding far beyond the usual expectations. Robin is an ideal example of what an estate agent should be.

    I spoke with several local agents before deciding on Winkworth. I like their straightforward honest approach. No lengthy tie in clause . They live or die by their performance as they are confident in their abilities . I trusted my gut and I was glad I did . They know the market and give good service . Highly recommend .

    Excellent

    After 32 years as a buy to let landlord we decided to sell our last remaining flat when our last tenant, having saved the deposit, bought his own property and moved. After 24 years of continuous tenancy, our last 2 bedroom flat was looking tired and sorry. \nWe decided to invest in a new kitchen, new bathroom and complete redecoration. \nHaving finished the renovations we approached three town centre estate agents. Winkworth were by far the most impressive. \nTheir approach was both professional and enthusiastic. They genuinely recognised the excellent job our builders had done, and immediately identified the buyers it was likely to appeal to. \nThey recommended an 'offers above' approach which we accepted. \nThe photography reflected the quality of the flat and within three days they had ten viewing appointments, which were all arranged for the same day. The next day there were four offers well over the asking price. We accepted the highest. \nDuring the conveyancing they have been extremely diligent, keeping us well informed and where necessary, chivying the solicitors. We strongly recommend them. 5*

    Very Impressive Overall Service

    Being an expat and very rarely visiting the UK (especially now COVID-19 is in play) I needed a full service package, this included finding a suitable property, sourcing an appropriate tenant and maintaining the property. Michael Foldvari of Winkworth listened and provided a service that I am 100% happy with. It is now seven years since I first engaged Winkworth and I would not dream of using an alternative agent, well done Winkworth.

    Sale of house in Reading

    The team at Winkworth Reading did a fantastic job of selling our property in this very turbulent market and I would unreservedly recommend them. In particular Robin Miles and Nicola Roberts gave me excellent advice and guidance throughout what became, due to the market, a very drawn out process. Their tenacity and optimism were key to keeping my hopes up and driving the process to a successful conclusion. Their great experience and understanding of the buyers were clearly shown at the end when their estimates proved to be spot on.

Also, very helpful when I had an issue with a damaged wall on the property during the time of the sale.

    Outstanding service from Robin Miles and all the Winkworth team

    All of the Winkworth staff with whom we had contact were invariably friendly, helpful and efficient, but Robin Miles, our assigned agent, was absolutely first class. Throughout the four month period of our sale, he was personally involved in the process, driving it constantly and energetically. Although we were aware that he was busily involved in many other transactions, it felt to us as if we were his only clients. Ours was a complicated deal but he kept in close communication with us by email and phone, several times a day during the most intense phases, helping us to feel supported and alleviating the stresses of the situation. In our more than 40 years experience of buying and selling houses through estate agents, he is easily the best, most personally involved, and effective agent we have ever worked with and we would would strongly recommend him . We are very grateful to him and to all his colleagues at Winkworth.

    Very responsive team

    I came across Winkworth as a buyer and I had a really positive experience. We met Robin when we visited the property the first time and he was our main point of contact for any communications throughout the process. He was super responsive with our questions and really a pleasure to interact with. The hamper pack when we got the keys was very thoughtful too. We are very impressed with the whole Winkworth team and would highly recommend them.

    Superb service

    We bought our new home via Robin Miles at Winkworth in Reading. We have dealt with many estate agents before but Robin is simply the best! Robin was absolutely fantastic from beginning to end: he was always straightforward to deal with (no sales talk or waffle, just honesty); super responsive; always friendly; and he would always chase people whenever things were slowing down. Thanks to his professionalism we always felt like we were in safe hands. Robin is an asset to Winkworth, and if we ever sell our new house Robin will be the first and only person we will call.

    Great Agents!!

    Such a great experience sorting out our rental through Winkworth. We moved 100 miles into the property with two children and couldn't be happier with the experience we had, it was made far easier with the support and advice given. Winkworth continue to support you well once in the property and provide contacts within the company during your tenancy if you need them. I would highly recommend!

    Excellent service.

    I called and emailed several agents in Reading, trying to find an apartment for a colleague from HK studying in the area. \nBilly has the only one who took this enquiry seriously and the only one who made a real effort to help. His prompt response was key to securing the property. He was extremely helpful and a pleasure to deal with.

    Letting our house

    When I first called to ask for the house I was interested to rent, I talked to an agent named Billy Liquorish. The way his questioning and giving information made me very disappointed. He said we can't even see the house if we do not confirm this and that, he was bossy and unpleasant, at least made me feel that way. But my second contact on the same day was James Hathaway who was perfect with every detail. He and the team helped me even with the things they didn't have to. My biggest thanks to James, Charlotte and Russell. They have been star for me during the renting period, because I was under too much stress, and might have pushed too much on some details. And thank you guys for bearing with me and helping a lot. Everything went very smooth and they met all the dates and so they confirmed with me. Thanks again for everything.

    We had three valuations, very similar in price - chose Robin and Winkworth. \nOn line reviews were excellent and we liked Robin and his advice on marketing our property. \nWe sold in less than a week. Robin and Winkworth have been brilliant throughout - always there for support when needed. Also helped to chase our onward chain ensuring everything progressed quickly. Really important as we wanted to complete before the end of June. \nCan't fault the service or recommend highly enough!!

    James and his team share an unusual combination of efficiency, proactiveness, expertise and kindness. They are all extremely pleasant to deal with and experts in their field providing a service that is excellent in every way. \nJames knew exactly how best to market my unique property and set a level of rent that was achieved.

    Absolutely fantastic service - highly recommended!

    We bought a property where Robin Miles was acting as the agent and he was absolutely brilliant! In addition to doing a great job of liaising with the seller and handling the negotiations on price, he was always super responsive and available. He was also great at ensuring things progressed quickly and was prepared to chase people where necessary. We have been so impressed by Robin and Winkworth generally that we are going to use them to rent out our old flat.

    Wonderful service

    Robin was just fantastic. The advice he gave on first meeting was spot on and although not the cheapest of the 3 agents I met with he seemed the most open to the difficulties and the issues with the property I was selling (definitely not the usual situation). \nHe seemed to want to get me moved as much as I wanted to move. He helped chasing other agents and also solicitors who were being not helpful. Despite setbacks and slowdowns the process was completed at the (re)scheduled date. \nCommunication was frequent and informative and Robin took note of my preferred methods of communication and used them wherever possible. Robin seemed to go out of his way to help get the process moving.

    Throughout the entire process, Tom was absolutely brilliant. We were the purchasers but he gave us excellent service. He was proactive right from the moment we did our first visit. He kept us fully informed of what was happening and was always a joy to deal with. I would recommend Tom to anyone (and have done) without a moment’s hesitation. A true professional who will go far.

    First class service from first class Estate Agency!

    We recently sold our house through Winkworth Reading. The end to end sale process was amazing and our house was sold (STC) within the first week being on the market. We received a first class service, professional support and advice from Winkworth, Robin Miles specifically. Robin was very helpful all the way through, always responded to our queries on time and in a very professional and informative way. We were even greatly supported and guided by Robin during purchase process that was rather bumpy. \nSo if you are looking for a good, professional, result focused and effective Estate Agency, I highly recommend Winkworth Reading as you will be looked after rather well. Thank you very much Robin and the entire Winkworth Reading Team!

    Excellent Organisation

    We live abroad. We called and requested Winkworth's services after considerable trouble from our previous property management company. Winkworth were absolutely excellent during this difficult transition. We went on to sell through Winkworth and so have experienced their services from both a property management and sales perspective. Highly professional organisation with very high level local knowledge of both Sales and Property and as a consequence provide superb advice and service. Would strongly recommend to anyone in need of these types of service.

    Worked with Robin - honest, polite and true to his word

    Robin and the team were fantastic through the entire sale process. They valued my property honestly and did not try to 'buy' the property through an inflated valuation. Robin's market judgement was spot on and we sold at the listed price. The team were always easy to contact if I had any questions and Robin was always on hand to support where necessary. He genuinely cares about his clients and provided sound advice throughout the sale. Would highly recommend.

    Outstanding.

    We had the pleasure of working with Robin and Winkworth when we sold our grade ii* listed apartment. Robin especially has been outstanding, he returns calls when he says he's going to, he manages the solicitors, then keeps us informed and truly is passionate about the job and the service he provided. We have another property on the market with Winkworth and trust them implicitly. They were referred to us by a friend, and we will be referring them to other people for sure.

    So pleased we swapped Agents to Winkworth.

    We initially used another well regarded local agent to market our proerty and it was a nightmare, took them weeks to get property listed, badly qualified viewings at short notice, daft offers, could we show the clients around as they couldnt and an over reliance on text message communications. \nWe decided to swap agents and Winkworth impressed from the off, they sold our property after just 4 viewings, for in excess of asking price and were highly professional throughout. Robin and Tom both did a super job and i'd have no hesitation in recommending or using again.

    We can't recommend you highly enough

    We are very grateful that you managed to let our flat at Valerie Court so quickly for us after the last tenant left. \nWe are most impressed with your efficiency and patience with our particular needs in regard to the Tenancy Agreement - after much 'toing and froing' we finally came to the type of Agreement that we are used to. \nAlso more importantly you managed to arrange for us have the deposit from the tenant in quick time such that we only needed to see them on the check-in day; this normally requires two visits. \nAbove all, you are all very helpful and friendly to deal with. Many thanks indeed and we can't recommend you highly enough.

    Best in the Game

    Guys, thanks ever so much for everything you did for me and my family in finding us a genuine buyer within a very short time. It's been 1 year 11 months since i first put my property on the market with many other different estate agents and all of these other agents were only selling me a dream which never materialises until i came into contact with the great Robin of Winkworth. Everything he promised me from the day we met happened and I can't thank him and his team enough for their efforts and professionalism they've shown me in the process. \nSo if you are thinking of selling your home, do not waste your time with any other estate agent in Reading other than Winkworth, take it from a man that's been through it for almost 2 years with only empty promises and endless excuses once you signed the contract with these other estate agents. So I fully and soul-heartedly recommend Winkworth for finding you a fast and genuine buyer. \nthank you again guys, especially (Robin & Tom).

    We recently purchased and moved into our first house through The Winkworth and we couldn’t reccommend them highly enough. \nRobin and Michael were so helpful in explaining what we needed to do and putting us in touch with the right people. They were always available to answer any questions we had (no matter how silly or small they were!) and overall we received a fantastic and friendly service from The Winkworth. Despite having small issues from the seller’s side, they both ensured that we were up to date and kept us informed even out of hours! Again thank you very much!

    Highly recommended - The epitome of 'professional expert'

    We selected to work with Winkworths exclusively after a couple of false starts elsewhere. Right from the get-go, Robin Miles has channelled a clear focus and positive energy, he demonstrates a highly experienced knowledge of the local market and led us through detailed and evidenced-based decision making in order to define our critical go-to-market approach. Under a focused campaign of 'offers over', led by Robin and Tom Schwartz we finally saw the flurry of footfall in viewings and have ultimately have secured a fantastic and committed buyer. \nOur journey has not been an easy one, this was a niche property and 2020 has been a challenging year with all the stops and starts in process, but the service and support from Robin and Tom has been unwavering! Professional and always informed, updates were valuable, timely but delivered with genuine warmth and humour. They have both gone above and beyond to help us execute this process and personally invested blood, sweat and tears in chasing down and holding a truly rogue conveyancing firm to account - We could not have asked any more of them and they have undoubtedly been a driving force in ensuring this closed happily and successfully for us and our buyer. \nWe cannot recommend Robin and Tom more highly - both fantastic ambassadors of the Winkworth's brand and the estate agency industry - it's been an absolute pleasure working with them. THANK YOU!

    Best agents I have ever used

    I can’t rate Winkworth’s Reading highly enough, and especially Robin who has consistently gone above and beyond for us, and our chain, to ensure everything progresses as quickly as possible. Very responsive when we had queries, tirelessly chased various parties (solicitors, estate agents, people in our chain) and kept us informed of progress at all times. Put simply, this was the best experience I have ever had of an estate agent, and well worth the price paid (which is on a par with other estate agents in the area).

  • 22 October 2020

    Won't go anywhere else from now on

    I was lucky enough to get Robin's services, not through my own clever pick of estate agents, but through my seller. Were it not for Robin's professionalism and hard work, I don't think the sale would have gone through at all. I had a call from him pretty much every other day to keep me updated on the progress of my sale, and actively got involved when complications arose with my solicitors to make sure things were getting done. My own estate agent (Yopa) was absolutely awful and not only did nothing to help, but seemed to actively make things worse. This is a lesson for everyone. Don't go with online agents. Pick a traditional agent. You get what you pay for. And if you go with Winkworth (and Robin specifically), I think you get even more. Can't thank him enough.

His energy is amazing and he went above and beyond to keep the whole chain on track. Nothing was too much trouble.

It was a real pleasure - thank you Robin for your commitment, guidance, proactive approach, excellent communication and energy.   Thanks also to James Hathaway - you gave us the confidence we needed to use Winkworth - thanks for your guidance along the long way to selling our Reading town centre apartment during a difficult housing market.

    A thoroughly positive experience

    From the moment we expressed an interest in a property marketed by Winkworth we received excellent service from Robin Miles and team. A viewing was arranged quickly and to our tight timescale. We were guided through the offer stage and having agreed a purchase price with the vendor, the legal process with its usual frustrations commenced. Robin steered all parties through this calmly and professionally keeping us fully up to date with progress, applying pressure where and when needed with the result being that we have now exchanged in accordance with the timescales that suited all. Our last house buying experience left us disillusioned about the estate agency business. This experience has shown us that when handled by professionals who have the best interests of their customers at heart, vendors and purchasers, then the process can be as stress free as possible. A massive thank you to Robin and Winkworth

    Fantastic professional service

    I was so delighted to have chosen to go with Winkworths as our estate agents. Robin was great to work with from the first time we met him. He gave us excellent advice and kept us fully informed at every step of the sale. The flat was marketed very well and despite a slow market we had plenty of viewings. Other flats in the same block that were on the market for a few months before us are still for sale so we feel absolutely delighted to have exchanged so quickly. Our sale went though smoothly with absolutely no problems at all.

    Professional, genuine and hardworking

    Having met and worked with a number of estate agents, I can report that Robin Miles is without a doubt the most reliable, honest, efficient, hardworking and genuinely caring one and I’m very glad I chose Winkworth to market my property. His approach to valuing a property is unique and makes a lot of sense! He always obtains price related feedback following viewings to ensure his pricing is on track. The marketing materials and photos (Robin took himself) were of an excellent quality. Within the first week of being live, there were many viewings booked – Robin was respectful at booking these at times convenient for me, whilst encouraging me to be flexible when potential buyers that he had carefully qualified were only available at certain times. The property was soon under offer. Robin handled the negotiations very professionally, and got me the offer I needed. He was then extremely dedicated to ensuring the chain stayed afloat. He worked tirelessly to find me a new home, even showing me round a property that was not officially being marketed yet as he knew he was perfect for me. He kept everyone in the chain completely up to date, regularly checking that my buyers were still happy to wait. On the day I put an offer in on a house, these buyers pulled out, but there was absolutely nothing more Robin could have done to avoid this. After remarketing the property and trying different strategies, Robin took the proactive step of offering another agency a share in the fee to also market the property (at no extra cost to me). I couldn’t be happier to recommended Robin (and Winkworth in general – all the staff were friendly and helpful whenever we spoke).

  • 28 October 2019

    The personal touch makes the difference

    I went with Winkworth for one reason. While all the estate agents that gave me a valuation spent five mnutes telling me all about the properties that they recently sold, only Robin Miles from Winkworth actually talked about the vendors and buyers and what they wanted from the property. It's this focus on the buyer (rather than simply playing a numbers game) that matters. In practice, we agreed a sale in one week despite listing at the same price level as all the other estate agents suggested. \nUnfortunately, the sale was hit with an unfortunate set of of problems caused by multiple incompetent conyencers, but despite the numerous farcicial screw-ups on multiple sides, Robin and his director Michael kept chasing and made sure that I and my buyer were kept up to date. I'm happy with how Winkworth performed, but ultimately the test has to be - would you recommend the Reading Winkworth team to someone you cared about? The answer in my case is yes.

    Review

    I've been a customer of Winkworth for over two years. During that time the service I've received has been outstanding. Winkworth were responsible for finding a tenant for my flat and securing another tenant at the end of the lease period. The administration and general service provided has always been of the highest standard. I would certainly recommend Winkworth to any prospective tenant of Landlord.

    Excellent Service in very trying circumstances

    Robin has worked with me on two occasions for the sale of 41 Riverside House. Initially, another agent was instructed for the sale but the performance simply was not acceptable and so Winkworth and Robin became involved. Immediately, Robin arranged for prospective buyers to view but as the market was becoming a little depressed and my expectations were excessive I decided to abandon the sale at that time. I year later I asked Robin for his advice on how to correctly position and market the property and we decided on a realistic price. Robin lined up an initial, potential buyer who made an offer. After some negotiation on Robin's part the property was sold. The first viewing! Robin suggested a conveyancer then chased the legal matters through to completion. Excellent service throughout.

    Excellent service, I cannot fault them at all. \nThey achieved a result within seven days upon going live and sold my property over the asking price. \nI would have no hesitation recommending their services. \nThank you Mr Robin Miles.

    Excellent

    I dealt primarily with Robin Miles. He absolutely went out of his way to support me as a first time buyer. Not only pre completion, but post completion (when they really didn't have to). Robin contacted me frequently to make sure that I had settled and was absolutely professional. Michael was great as well. Would recommend anytime.

    Robin was very efficient and went above and beyond to get my house sold - and also to keep me informed of developments.

    Professional, Friendly and Efficient Service!

    I was very impressed by the service I received at Winkworth. James guided me through the whole process of letting out my property. James provided clear and helpful advice and was always available to assist when required. \nMy property went to market and secured tenants after the first round of viewings!\nI would certainly recommend Winkworth as an Estate Agent with a difference.

    Fantastic and knowledgeable

    We couldn’t have been more pleased with the friendliness and professionalism of Robin. We met with several other agents when we decided to list our property and they all seem to care more about “listing high and see what happens” compared to Robin who gave us a much more realistic selling price and eventually selling for exactly the range that Robin first showed us and in the time frame that he advised. Throughout the entire process we were kept informed and Robin was always at the end of the line if we needed anything. \nWe would highly recommend Winkworth and especially Robin Miles to anyone looking for a dependable, realistic, no nonsense estate agent.

    Moving after 40+ years

    Both Sharon and I are greatly impressed with Robin Miles of Winkworth estate agents, his knowledge skill and professionalism are amazing, We were advertising with another estate agent for 6 month, had one rather poor offer. Robin asked if he could help within two weeks we had 3 offers 2 rather poor offers and one good offer, basically we had sold the house within 2 weeks of Winkworth taking it on. \nHaving never moved before neither of us knew what we were in for, Robin helped us all the way, recommending a good solicitor (since proved his worth) and an excellent removal company, \n Been a long time since I met anyone with so much energy and enthusiasm. We can’t recommend Robin Miles of Winkworth enough.

    Fabulous service and delivery

    Winkworth are without doubt the most professional and friendly estate agency we have ever worked with. Having sold many houses, working with Michael, Jon and Robin was an absolute breath of fresh air. \nThey are proactive in seeking real buyers rather then relying on house sale portals to do the work for them. Winkworth attend and manage all the viewings very professionally and continually provide feedback via email, text and phone calls. \nMore than a dozen viewings were organised very quickly and the house sale was agreed in just a couple of months. This included the negotiation of a buyer deposit for peace of mind. \nWinkworth also provided excellent advice, worked with our solicitors throughout the exchange/completion process, and hit every deadline they promised including the full management of the complete housing chain. \nExcellent value for money - my wife and I heartily recommend their services to anyone selling their house in the current challenging climate.

    Truly Excellent Service

    Robin is absolutely incredible. His advice and help has been second to none, we can't recommend him highly enough. Every step has been exceptional with the utmost honesty and knowledgeable guidance throughout our first house sale. If we were staying in Reading we would not hesitate to sell our next house with Winkworth. Thank you so much for everything, you are amazing and we are passing your details onto friends intending to sell in the near future :)

    Smooth, easy, friendly!

    After a bit very pleasant experience with my previous agents these guys are a cut above. Open communication, all straight forward and easy - no hassles or stress. Place was immaculate in check in and one small maintenance issue was addressed and resolved in less than 24 hours. Every member of the team has been courteous and professional - cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you Winkworth for providing a lovely home for my son and I!

    The only choice you should consider when it comes to selling a house.

    If I was to sum up our experience with Winkworth into one sentence it would be “In terms of selling our house Winkworth was the best decision we could have made. ” Currently the housing market isn’t the best and the estate agents we had round to value our house prior to putting it on the market painted a horrible picture and priced our house to match the “tough market conditions”, especially as we were looking at putting it on the market during December. \nWe then thought about waiting a year or two to put our house on the market, until we had Winkworth come round. Robin was an absolute pleasure and he is an asset to the company he works for; his passion for his job and his general demeanour made us feel like Winkworth were the best fit for us. They priced our house fairly and from the moment we signed the contract were straight out to take pictures and marketing the property to all potential buyers and had several viewings booked in with 72 hours with an offer which we accepted. Things didn’t quite work out with our original buyers and they pulled out before exchange, which led to a few very stressful few days. Robin told us not to worry and that he would find us a buyer again, true to his word within 72 hours we had an offer on the table again, which Robin worked hard to chase all the way through meaning the whole chain could still complete on the proposed time we wanted. We can’t thank Robin and the team at Winkworth enough for all the hardwork they have put in!

    Best property managers I have encountered

    Property Management

    After the old tenant completed their long term tenancy contract, keep continuing with Winkworth @Reading for the property management service. The Reading office staff are very friendly and their services are second to none. There are professional teams with significant area expertise for the property management in terms of admin, tenant relationship and client relationship. I became a client to Winkworth; referred by a friend and of course, that was a good reference. \nAll the staff in Reading Office are very professional and helpful and they looked after everything as per the expectation. Particularly James Hathaway put me in right and good direction, when I need some advices, and thanks to James Hathaway and all staff in Reading Winkworth. \nRegards, \nSiva

    Great service from an excellent company

    I decided to switch to Winkworth after another estate agent’s attempts to sell my house had proven unsuccessful. From the very first meeting I was sure that I had made the right choice. Despite a very difficult market, Robin and Gareth impressed throughout. Their knowledge of the market and guidance through the selling process was second to none. After viewings they would always contact me with the potential buyer’s feedback, and if I ever called them and they weren’t immediately available, they would always call back as soon as possible. \nWinkworth are an extremely friendly, approachable and proactive Company, who I would have no hesitation in recommending. \nI would also highly recommend Chatham Chambers Solicitors, who were suggested to me by Winkworth.

From the first time we contacted both Jo Figueira and James Old we were impressed by their professionalism and general helpfulness and they were very keen to help us every step of the way even though we were looking to move around the Christmas season. In fact their admin team too were also very helpful and made the whole process pain free.

    My 5-star Agency in Reading

    When I first met Director James Hathaway who was showing me the property I was renting for next 3 years - I knew this would be a solid, high quality service. My requirements were listened to, I was advised clearly on the next steps, documents followed. It was a smooth process. Interactions with Winkworth during rental were of high standards. And guess what... when we wanted to swap for a house, they have done it all seamlessly. Winkworth team offered support, advice and last but not least flexibility. Thank you Winkworth - you are worth 5 stars!

    A Brilliant Company

    I found Winkworth was a brilliant company. As a buyer, they suggested the house that I purchased, and would not have otherwise have viewed. They facilitated the process, responded promptly to any requests and were both professional and enjoyable to communicate with. I would certainly recommend them to others and will use them myself if I ever need an agent.

    Katie Kempen

  • 19 September 2018

    Frankly just terrific. Me and my flatmate were short on time to find a place before his tenancy ran out, and after having a run in with a couple of somewhat less helpful estate agents, we came by a few Winkworth properties that Joana F. showed us around. \nThroughout the process, all Winkworth employees we came across were responsive, attentive and helpful. A special mention to Joana for actively helping us throughout the move. \nTwo thoroughly happy customers.

    Premium service - would mandate again

    James performed a valuation, not the highest one (vs the other letting agents Reading), but in line with my expectations for a high standard property. He promised to find quality tenants in a couple of weeks. \nI think, his team and his work over-performed as I had (quality) tenants in less than 5 days of marketing at the asking price. \nI will mandate them again! Thanks a lot James!\nLouis

    Highly Recommend

    I highly recommend this estate agent for their highly determined manner in getting things done. They were very professional but also very easy to work with and had a (very rare these days) personal touch and emphasis on client care. I was buying a property through them and I didn't have an easy time due to the incompetence of my solicitor but these boys bent over backwards to get things to completion. Michael, the manager/director, even found some vital information out needed for the sale to proceed, when the solicitor couldn't be bothered to do it themselves. He even paid for the information out of his own pocket! They were always there on the end of the phone or email, keeping everyone in the loop all the time. They genuinely seem to be an estate agent who want to put people in the right property for them . Great stuff!

    Louise Davies

    Couldn't recommend Winkworths Reading enough, had an impeccable service from start to finish. From listing my house on a Friday they had booked 4 viewings by Saturday afternoon with an accepted offer by the Tuesday at the asking price. Robin Miles was great at keeping me updated of every stage of the process and chasing the solicitors at getting everything done to the agreed timescales. Whether buying or selling in the future they will be my first port of call.

    Seamless Service

    As landlords, we have used a lot of estate agents over the years to let our properties and have always hit problems - usually because teams and departments don't communicate with each other! But our experience with Winkworths has been completely different - from marketing the property, finding suitable tenants, referencing, paperwork and the finances, we have had a seamless service. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the team there and will definitely be back in touch when the property is vacant again.

    A pleasant experience of letting a property

    It was a pleasure to meet James Old when I tried to find a house for my family in Reading. I contacted many agents and list my details request for the property. Unfortunately, their service and recommendation is not good and low efficient. James showed his professional and experience to help me find the right property. As a foreigner who is new to UK, I met the problem to pay thru an international credit card. Winkworth team is very nice and help me solve it. In a word, it's a fantastic letting experience

    I was extremely impress with both Robin and Gareths professionalism. I was one of those annoying people who requested three viewings in total, all three times were met with smiles and information. Winkworth overall were always quick to respond to a query and always easy to contact. The sale went through and I am one happy home owner. \nThanks Gareth and team

    All Winkworth Staff Members are Exceptional!!! Of course, we're partial to both James'. My husband & I will recommend Winkworth to others & we will only use them for our letting or purchasing needs in the future. We recently moved to Reading from another country & their professionalism, knowledge & continuous support are superior. Plus they have a ton of property options. No need to look anywhere else & if you share what your preferences are, Winkworth will jump through every hoop possible to deliver. That's what happened for us. Plus they were also able to connect us to an outside source for our interim accommodation needs until our flat was ready to occupy. Thank you Winkworth!!!!! You truly are the BEST!!!!!
