Winkworth made buying a property in Suffolk really easy. From our first visit they were welcoming and nothing was too much trouble - even a viewing at short notice. Communication has been faultless, in particular, Jade has dealt with every query cheerfully and efficiently liaising between buyer and vendor and keeping us up to date throughout ther process.

Me and my partner were looking at purchasing a property with Winkworth which we unfortunately have had to pull out of due to personal reasons. But I still feel I have to comment on how professional all the team were that helped us they couldnt have been more supportive. Rebecca Jade Stuart and Connor were always on hand to answer any questions about any queries we had I would highly recommend them as Estate Agents and there professionalism.

Really good service from Winkworth, from viewing rental properties to moving in. Transparent, helpful, professional throughout. The strong communication skills Rebecca and Linda of Winkworth have were particularly valuable as I moved from an unfurnished let to an unfamiliar area from over 100 miles away, and needed to be kept up to date to organise removal services and work well in advance.

Jade and all her colleagues have helped no end in buying my property in Halesworth. It has been an exciting time and at times quite daunting. I was able to call and speak to jade and ask crazy questions but she was extremely helpful and put my mind at rest. Thank you. You haven been great.

We recently instructed Winkworth’s to sell our house for us after using another local agent with no success. Stuart was very helpful & knowledgeable answering all our questions at the initial valuation. We were mainly looked after by Nicole who was super friendly & efficient and kept us updated at every stage. Winkworth’s sold our property for our full asking price and the sale went through without a hitch within 3 months. We were super pleased with the service we received from start to finish and would happily recommend Winkworth’s to anyone looking to sell their property. Many thanks to you all at Southwold Branch & not forgetting Jade at Poringland.

The link person for our house sale was Jade McGarvey at the Poringland office and she was exceptional. She communicated promptly and efficiently and demonstrated a genuine concern for us in the process. Her personal and professional skills are of a high standard and we were most grateful to her.

Myself and my sister have been renting a property in Reydon through Winkworth since 2019, they have always ensured that the rent is on time, schedule and carry out any inspections and advise of and arrange any maintenance (e.g boiler/gas service) that may be required. Our main contact has been Linda Jackson who has always given us a friendly and efficient service with any queries we may have. They have also played a major role in searching for and vetting any new tenants that we have had. We would certainly highly recommend them as a letting agent.

Winkworths have been acting as letting agents for several years for a local property. They have always been efficient and effective, quick to respond to communications, and proactive in sorting any issues.Thus they have ensured that any issues our tenants may have had have been dealt with promptly and to everyone's satisfaction, engaging tradesmen when necessary and reporting back to us. Linda is helpful and reliable. I would recommend Winkworths to anyone: excellent service and good value.

The Southwold office with Stuart and Rebecca were friendly but also very professional and gave us honest and expert advice. Once our sale and purchase were agreed, we were handed over to Jade who managed the process from there. She was also incredibly helpful, professional and friendly. The whole process with Winkworths Estate Agents has been excellent in all respects, thank you.

Stuart, Rebecca and Nicole make a great team. They have been brilliant in our search for a property. They are also friendly and have excellent knowledge of the local property market along with their professionalism. Also, a big shout out to Jade who got us through to exchange of contract. We were in a long chain and if it hadn't been for Jade constantly chasing solicitors etc we would still be in limbo. She was always there at the end of the phone when we were in 'panic mode'. So a huge thanks to Jade. Many thanks to you all. Richard and Maggie Sayer.

Having found myself in the unfortunate situation of having to sell my family home due to a relationship breakdown, the winkworth team supported me all the way in an area im not very familiar with. There's always been a bit of a stigma around estate agents and not being able to trust them but Becky, Jade and Stuart put me at ease, helped me and put things in lehmanns terms from start to finish. I would 100% recommend them for buying and/or selling. Trustworthy, reliable and honest, qualities very hard to come by in this day and age!

We have just completed buying and selling through winkworth, Southwold with our main contact being Rebecca. She was very professional and kept us up to date through every stage of the process answering any questions we had very efficiently.

Just recently sold my house with winkworth and cannot thank them enough for all there help during the selling/buying process. Even though I'm lowestoft based they always came out afew times every week to show people round our house. Nothing was ever a problem!! Big thankyou to viv for continuously ringing me with updates on our buyers progress and dealing with there rather awkward solicitor. I would definitely recommend this company to anybody. There friendly, quick responding, reliable and provide a very professional service. Thanks again to you all. Louise Halliday and Ben Saunders

Very happy with the excellent service provided by Viv, Stu and Daniel. They kept us updated throughout the process, which only took 9 weeks from listing to completion with the Christmas break during that time. I've had dealings with other local estate agents in the past with both sales and lettings and they are not in the same league as Winkworth, who clearly employ staff of the highest quality. They have been a pleasure to do business with and I would definitely recommend Winkworth to anyone looking for a professional, reliable and friendly 5 star service service.

My sister and I would like to say what an excellent service we received from Daniel Wetmore at Winkworth Southwold. He obtained a great price for us and followed through the transaction to its conclusion. He was in constant contact with our buyer and kept us updated with his progress and setbacks right up to exchange of contracts. A brilliant job Daniel; many many thanks.
