Reviews verified by HelpHound
What is HelpHound?“Donovan and John worked tirelessly to secure us a buyer during a very tumultuous market. Their availability and tenacity meant that we found a buyer and we are very grateful to them for the work they put in.”
“Donovan belongs to an increasingly rare breed. An estate agent with years of experience combined with the energy and persistence of someone still excited about delivering for their clients. His approach takes the seller's aims into account whilst also accommodating the buyer's needs. He goes the extra mile and never gives up. In a very difficult and volatile market (in the eye of the storm thrown up by the Covid pandemic) he delivered three robust offers where other agents faltered. He shepherded a Barnes record sale through at every stage and continues to deliver an after-sales service that is unprecedented.”
“An excellent service from start to finish. All the staff are lovely to deal with, very friendly and professional. Donovan and John went the extra mile for us with our sale and got us a great price in a tough market. They are genuine offer a really personal, genuine service of the highest quality. We’d absolutely recommend them!”
“I rented a property out through them, I then rented my own property out through them and then I sold my house through them. Always prompt, professional, reasonable on price and effective. Got the house sold during lockdown - no mean feat!!!”
“The purchase took a long time due to the complexity of the property and Donovan showed patience when needed and also when to push things along politely.”
“Donovan was very committed to help us sell our property despite the difficult market. His communication and helpfulness never wavered.”
“The Winkworth's team were extremely professional but with a really personal touch as well. I was given sound advice and great guidance, leading to a really smooth transaction. I would have no hesitation in recommending Winkworth's to anybody looking to purchase or let a property.”
“I never had such a great, fast informal and nice empathic service”
“Seamless, stress-free service with no fuss. We are abroad much of the year, and Diana took the reins and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Great advice, and sound, local knowledge was invaluable. Would highly recommend Winkworth, and Diana in particular for her attention to detail and responsiveness to our questions and concerns.”
“From the moment I first picked up the phone to discuss the house we ended up buying, John was transparent and easy to deal with. My situation wasn't totally straightforward, and he and the team at Winkworth in Barnes did everything they could to help. I didn't have a property to sell, but from the buying perspective, I couldn't recommend them more. I felt in safe and helpful hands the whole way through. Many thanks!”
“Both John and Donovan were great. We sold our previous house with them and also purchased our new property. They were thorough, helpful and always available for questions throughout. Would highly recommend.”
“John and Donovan provided a lot of hepful, sensible advice. They managed our sale sensitively and effectively. I would recommend them wholeheartedly to you.”
“I first used Winkworth many years ago to let our wonderful riverside Barnes flat. Di has over very many years been extremely personable and helpful, but completely understood that what I was really looking for was a great tenant who was unlikely to chop and change, thus avoiding void periods. Winkworth found us the ideal tenant, who then coincidentally went on to buy our flat when eventually I decided to sell ! John in sales was extremely good at judging when to get involved in the sales process, and more importantly when not to, and this aided a very smooth process, which everyone seems to have ended up happy with. Thanks again to the Winkworth team, who have become 'reliable friends' over the years, able to help advise where and when necessary, on various property and contractor-related queries. Nigel”
“Winkworth Barnes, ever since they took over from CH King, have always been professional, helpful and very easy to work with. Any problems with either the property or difficult tenants (does happen occasionally) have been sorted.”
“Donovan knows the market like the back of his hand. He knows everyone, knows the market and lives in the middle of Barnes. You can't do better.”
“Donovan Kelly is a pleasure to work with as he is highly responsive to clients and has unparalleled knowledge of the local area as well as exceptional sales and transaction management skills that enable him to match the right buyer and seller. Donovan is a first class estate agent and is highly recommended.”
“I cannot recommend Winkworth enough particularly the services of Diane Carter who is always there when needed, ever cheerful and helpful.”
“Donovan Kelly was incredibly well informed. His wealth of experience helped us find the perfect family home at the right price. Would highly recommend Winkworth Barnes.”
“Donovan is excellent and always so very friendly. A personal service that is rare these days. Very reliable and efficient. This tiny and charming agency opens up a whole world of possibilities. Expert and enthusiastic, Donovan just loves the vicarious pleasure of looking after customers. A visit is always a pleasure.”
“John was extremely kind and helpful in getting the house of our dreams in lovely Barnes. He provided good advice during the whole process and everything went very smooth. I would definitely recommend Winkworth Barnes if you are looking for first class real state advice.”
