I recently purchased a property through Winkworth Sleaford Estate Agents, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From start to finish, the communication was excellent, making what can often be a stressful process feel straightforward and hassle-free. A special thank you to Lauryn-May, my Sales Negotiator, who was absolutely fantastic throughout. Her professionalism, clear communication and guidance at every stage made the entire experience painless. She was always helpful, approachable and kept me informed throughout the purchase. An outstanding service from start to finish. I would wholeheartedly recommend Winkworth Sleaford to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. Thank you again, particularly to Lauryn-May, for making the whole experience such a positive one!

Lauryn-May was wonderful from start to finish. She was great when my Solicitors had misunderstood a management fee and quickly sorted everything out. The whole team are professional, friendly and always kept me up to date.

I’m just completing a particularly stressful house purchase in Lincoln (first-time buyer) and Matt has been instrumental in making sure that the process ticks along as smoothly and quickly as possible. There were a few unexpected problems which cropped up (cue legal jargon) which resulted in delays and confusion, but Matt was so informed and so approachable that I often approached him for his opinion and insight before speaking to my own solicitor! I would wholeheartedly recommend using Winkworth to any buyer thinking of listing their home who wants comprehensive service 😊 Thanks again, Matt!

Huge thanks to Lauryn who has been an absolute superstar - friendly, yet professional in all aspects and keeping us informed with any questions we have. I cannot express what a fantastic service from start to finish. Many thanks to all involved.

We have finally moved into our new home following a very difficult process involving a long 'chain'. All staff at Winkworth were excellent throughout but Matt Bouch was exemplary in his professional approach, tenacity and communication skills. He was polite, helpful and honest throughout the process: we owe the success of our move to him. We would highly recommend Winkworth, Sleaford.

I highly recommend Lauryn-May Mackinder from Winkworth. She is extremely professional, responds to emails very quickly, and is always helpful despite her young age. From the very beginning, she never refused any request and handled everything promptly. Thanks to her, I found my dream home . I asked for a quick viewing and was able to see the property on the very same day. I would definitely recommend working with her.

We have been dealing with Winkworth in Sleaford for a number months in respect of a property we wished to purchase. Every contact we have had with the office has been very efficient and all members of staff have been helpful and friendly. There were some delays caused lower down the chain but Matt Bouch worked tirelessly to keep us informed on a regular basis and we are convinced that his energy was pivotal in seeing things through to exchange. We hope and expect to be in our property for a long time but should we ever need the services of an estate agent we would go straight to Matt at Winkworth and would heartily recommend them to anyone.

Very good with finding Tenants for our property. Louise kept us involved in the process at all times and gave us all the information we needed about what we needed to prepare for and how to minimize any complications down the line. Could not fault the process, made renting for us as first time renters easy.

🌟 Outstanding Service from Start to Finish – Huge Thanks to Matthew Bouch! We can’t recommend Winkworth highly enough – especially Matthew Bouch, who was absolutely incredible throughout our first home purchase. From day one, Matthew was professional and incredibly supportive, making what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. He was always available to answer our questions (big or small!), kept us regularly updated without us ever needing to chase, and genuinely cared about helping us secure the right home. His knowledge and calm approach gave us so much confidence and reassurance at every stage. Buying your first home is a huge moment, and we feel incredibly lucky to have had Matthew guiding us through it. Massive thank you again – we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Matthew and the Winkworth team to anyone looking for truly outstanding support and service.

I can’t thank the team at Winkworth of Sleaford enough for their support during the sale of my late father’s house. It was an emotional time, but they were incredibly sensitive around the bereavement and showed genuine understanding throughout the process. They kept me well informed, handled every stage professionally, and were patient and supportive even when things didn’t quite go to plan. Their calm and compassionate approach really helped me navigate what could have been a very stressful experience. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful and professional estate agent.

Matt had been extremely professional throughout the purchase process and he has been fast and efficient in obtaining the information needed. He has stood out to me in this process as a polite, conscientious and understanding estate agent which really helps in such stressful situations.

I opted to use the services of the Sleaford branch of Winkworth for three main reasons - • they understood the best way to sell my distinctive semi-rural property • they have a very big reach in terms of marketing, which attracted buyers who decided they would like to move to the area from elsewhere • the staff were professional, yet also friendly and approachable. In fact, a number of them have been working for the company for years, which indicates job satisfaction and means that they have a very good working knowledge of the area It took a little while to find the right buyers for my old, unique home, but the team at Winkworth remained positive throughout the process, and were always on hand to give advice and support.

I cannot thank the team at Winkworth enough for my recent house sale. From Niall’s valuation, getting the house on the market and finding me the loveliest buyers in less than a week, to completing with the support of Matt. Their work and communication was faultless throughout. A special thank you to Matt who made an incredibly difficult onward chain manageable due to his commitment and willingness to go above and beyond. Without his support during this challenging time, I would have walked away from a home that is perfect for us feeling disappointed. His calm and professional manner was so reassuring and I was confident knowing he had a solution for every obstacle we faced, of which there were many. Matt took a lot of pressure off me during a stressful time which I am so grateful for. Despite challenges beyond our control, a happy ending for my buyers and me thanks to Winkworth. I couldn’t recommend the Winkworth team more. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I used the services of Winkworth in Sleaford to sell my late father's property. I found everything from the outset to be handled in a very professional manner. Particular thanks must go to Scott, who went over and above in my dealings with him, such as sorting out and obtaining a quote for clearance of items and providing that additional nudge to solicitors to ensure the sale was kept on track, as well as keeping me up to date at all times with progress.. I am pleased to recommend this firm.

Winkworth Estate Agents have recently sold my house for me. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Every member of their team are professional, friendly and approachable. Their communication is excellent. Selling a property as a widow is an emotional journey and these guys have been so supportive and understanding of my situation. They have done their very best for me. I call them the 'A' team. So thank you to Martin, Niall, Matt and Scott. Kindest regards, Sue Sharman
