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!

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. Whilst 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. Through 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. All 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!

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. Robin 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. I cannot recommend enough Robin and the whole team – you will be in very safe hands if you are selling your property!

Our experience with James and Winkworth Real Estate was outstanding. Their professionalism, dedicated staff, and the quality of advice they offered surpassed our expectations. We are now settling into our new home, grateful for Winkworth's support and expertise throughout the process. The professionalism displayed by James was truly commendable. He consistently exhibited high expertise, integrity, and commitment throughout our home-buying process. From the initial stages of property selection to the final closing, his professionalism instilled confidence in every step of the journey. He went above and beyond to meet our needs. He was not an agent for us but a partner who genuinely cared about finding us a home. His dedication, patience, knowledge, and willingness to accommodate our numerous queries made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. We felt like valued clients every step of the way. The quality of advice provided by him was exceptional. He demonstrated an in-depth understanding of this property and guided us with insightful recommendations. His advice was not only informative but also tailored to our specific requirements. Evidently, he was committed to helping us make informed decisions, resulting in a home that perfectly aligns with our vision.

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!

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.

Nicola has been incredible throughout the process of buying our new home. From showing us around initially, to answering all our questions via telephone and email, chasing for updates and also keeping us updated throughout. We also had great support from Michael when we had to negotiate with the seller regarding repairs. He really made us feel at ease throughout and was so supportive of us for moving into our new home. He even recommended a coffee shop and Indian takeaway for when we move in too! We were so happy to find our dream home with Winkworth in Reading!

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.
Reviews:
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.
Reviews:
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. We 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.
Reviews:
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. Robin 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. In 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.
Reviews:
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.
