I cannot praise Winkworth in Southbourne enough. They recently dealt with the sale of my property, which turned out to be more complicated than any of us thought. However, they were utterly professional in their approach to all the hurdles and made me feel comfortable all the way through. Ariana was so kind, keeping my spirits up and kept me constantly informed which meant I did not get as stressed as I could of done? The sale went through thanks to their hard work, patience and perseverance. Thank you so much to all of you. Highly recommended.

We bought a flat in Southbourne and what should have been a straight forward process ended up bogged down for no apparent reason, as happens so often. Ariana was skillful in engaging with both sides to move things along to a successful conclusion. Thank you!

We have recently made the move to Dorset, having used Winkworths. Led by Lori, they made certain that all necessary updates were communicated efficiently. Given that we were moving 300 miles to a new area, they really made us feel at ease with the whole process. Thanks for all of your help

The sale of our house was not an easy process due to unusual circumstances but Lori and her team were very supportive and guided us through the sale. During the final and most difficult part of the transaction Lori worked tirelessly to find a solution to what seemed to us an impossible situation which she overcame both professionally and with compassion. Her positive attitude throughout was truly appreciated and helped us through many a low point. Many thanks, Ian & Jan

Lori and team helped my family with the sale of my late parents’ property. For anyone looking to sell their house in Southbourne and the surrounding area, Lori and team have been absolutely sensational. They have helped at every stage of the process and have gone way beyond what I would have expected them to do. They didn’t just help with the sale, but also helped us arrange repairs, get the house cleared, and recover treasured artefacts. The whole team take genuine pride in the work and we felt like they genuinely cared for our wellbeing at a really difficult time. I could not recommend them highly enough.

There are not enough words to explain just how immensely grateful we are to the team at Winkworth. From the moment we made an offer to the day we exchanged and beyond Lori and her team went above and beyond in making sure this was a smooth, painless experience. Lori recommended amazing solicitors and surveyors who were a credit to the process. To everyone involved they have made clients for life as I just couldn't see anyone else matching the service, care and attention to detail!!! A simple thank you just doesn't seem to do justice!!!

I cannot fault the professionalism and expertise I experienced from Lori and her team through my recent house purchase. From start to finish facing several hurdles Lori was always at the end of a phone, informative, calmed me down on several occasions and got the job done in record time. I would not hesitate to recommend this fabulous team and thanks to you all I am at last settling well in my forever dream home. 🙏

We were buying a house through Winkworth and completed our move during Lockdown 2. Naturally we were very apprehensive about whether the move could proceed and what implications this could through our way. Lori and James were extremely supportive, offering good recommendations for surveyors who could meet with our tight timescales and answering all our questions. On the day itself Lori actually came and met us at the house which was really appreciated and was a nice touch. Thank you

Alex Marle in the lettings team was fantastic from initial call and viewing through to handing me the keys of my flat. Alex is a complete professional. He went above and beyond what I’ve found with other agents - texting me with updates, helping me to navigate the process and even very kindly carrying a large parcel when we did the inventory. I wouldn’t normally leave a review, but recognition is due here!

Winkworth have been very professional but a special shout has to go to Lori, who really got things moving for us (excuse the pun)! We were renting while waiting to move into our flat and with a few phone calls, she really made it happen. We are very grateful to her.

I cannot thank Lori at Winkworth Southbourne enough for going the extra mile (or six!) to ensure the smooth selling of our property. Her professionalism, attention to detail and friendly manner made the whole process really easy, even in the most difficult of times. Many thanks

James, Lori and the team have been amazing. I cannot recommend Winkworth enough. They've guided and helped us through what is generally agreed to be a stressful journey, tirelessly working to ensure everyone in the chain is kept up to date and smoothing out any issues that arise along the way. Remember everyone...getting your property on the market is just the first of many steps, so make sure you have a fantastic team behind you!!!

We've just completed on the sale of our flat in Southbourne and Ariana from Winkworth Southbourne was excellent from the moment she took over our sale from the estate agent who had recently left. I was initially a bit worried about the change in agent but I shouldn't have been - she was absolutely brilliant. Any hiccup or bump in the road (perhaps expected when trying to sell a house during a pandemic) were immediately communicated and worked on. She was responsive, knowledgeable, articulate and personable. I really felt like she was fighting my corner and on my team at all times. We were buying a family home and there’s an emotional tag that comes with this - she offered continual advice about all aspects (both buying and selling), along with recognising and easing my anxieties about delays and set backs, which were entirely out of Winkworth’s control. If ever things felt like they were stalling or going off-course, she was there to immediately steer it back in direction. Ariana is an absolute gem and a credit to Winkworth.

In all of my many years of letting from various agencies over the years never have i experienced anything like the service and professional I have faced dealing with Winkworth. It has been outstanding. Beyond words. They have bent over backwards to help me get back on my feet after a difficult few months. I wish I had discovered them years ago and maybe things would have been different. They consider the needs of the individual. I can't recommend Fergus and his f a fantastic team enough. Don't bother with any other agents in the area because Winkworth and their amazing teams in both in the Southbourne and Westbourne branches are the best and you can't top the best. I would give 10 stars if I could 😀
