“We are extremely happy with the service we received from Winkworths when dealing with the sale of my late mother-in-law’s property. From the moment we met James Wilkinson when he came to do the probate valuation we knew we that we wanted Winkworths to handle the sale. It was an extremely difficult time for us and as well as his appreciation of the apartment he was also calm and respectful of our loss which meant a lot to us. We were also very impressed with his 30+ years knowledge of the Highgate property market. Daryl Ditchburn was a joy to work with and his and James’s skills matching the right clients to the property plus his enthusiasm, expertise and good humour resulted in multiple offers within days of going on the market. The photographs were also excellent and showed the apartment beautifully. It turned out not to be a straightforward sale due to the complexities of probate and there were various challenges along the way to say the least! Daryl took them all in his stride and gave great advice, kept calm and good natured at all times and we felt very supported throughout. He also managed to make what was a hugely stressful process quite enjoyable! We are thoroughly delighted with the outcome and can highly recommend Winkworths – we will definitely use them again in the future.”

“A big thank you to James and Daryl from the Highgate Office. They provided us with a professional personal service enabling our property to be sold in an efficient manner. We would certainly recommend Winkworth to anyone thinking of selling their property.”

“Absolutely first class. James Wilkinson was superb. Deep market knowledge, helped us achieve a great price on our property, provided great advice on what changes were/ were not worth making, great communication throughout and superb instincts around how we should proceed in difficult situations.”

“We bought our house through Winkworth Highgate and then due to sad circumstances we had to sell it again only a year later. Daryl came to view the property and gave us some excellent advice about how to prepare it for sale, and James then managed the sale itself, securing us an over-asking-price offer less than a week from listing. We were unlucky with our first buyer and James’s advice was excellent throughout (he did warn us about the buyer from the very beginning!), allowing us to move on and find a second buyer within 48 hours this time (James had already lined them up)! From start to finish, James was incredibly effective and professional, replying to emails almost immediately, passing information efficiently and doing a brilliant job of fielding questions and negotiating on our behalf. We ended up selling our house for about £100k more than we had initially thought we might get, which is going to be a massive help at a difficult time, thanks to James, Daryl and the Winkworth team!”

“Throughout a very difficult sale process, James was helpful every step of the way.”

“James and Daryl made the process of selling our beloved home as painless as possible. This began at our first meeting, when they took account of our specific requirements and gave clear advice on how to go about achieving them. Equally, they were just as frank and straightforward if they thought our expectations were unrealistic. This continued throughout the whole process. The viewings they arranged were focussed and executed with due consideration, and their response to the circumstances created by the pandemic was reassuring to both ourselves and I am sure, to the many interested viewers they brought to our home as well. There is no substitute for local knowledge and these agents clearly have a deep understanding of the local market as well as having positive and long-standing relationships with clients. All in all, we can't fault Winkworths on this transaction. and would like to thank them for their efforts on our behalf.”

“James and Daryl both did an excellent job selling my property. Both were very attentive and actively involved throughout the full sales process, helping to ensure everything ran as smoothly as possible. Their services are highly recommended!”

“We recently completed on the purchase of a two bedroom flat in Highgate with the support of James. Our situation was complicated by the fact that our mortgage took over 12 weeks to be confirmed and this had the potential to create a lot of uncertainty both on ours and the sellers side. James was incredibly helpful from the beginning in facilitating a healthy dialogue with regular updates from both sides with honest feedback. James and his team were always quick to respond to communication with a professional attitude whilst maintaining a very human tone. I sincerely believe that if such a dialogue had not been as well managed, we may not be in the situation we are now which is very happy in our new home. I would thoroughly recommend Winkworths Highgate and should we choose to sell the property in the future, we would happily return to James and the team to manage this.”

“Selling a property can be torturous, and James and Daryl at Winkworth have made it more than bearable! Throughout, they have been professional, courteous, always available and efficient, and good humoured too. I thank them wholeheartedly, and recommend that unreservedly!”

“Initially Winkworth was tasked with renting and managing our property and this was done so effectively for several years. They were then asked to market and sell the property. We could not have asked for a more professional, thorough, helpful and approachable Company. James / Winkworth made the whole process easy and I would not hesitate to call on their services again.”

“Winkworth's provided us with a very professional service from start to finish and exceeded our expectations. They managed all aspects of the sale in an excellent manner providing timely communication which gave us the confidence and reassurance we needed as remote sellers from the north of England. They were always prepared to go the extra mile. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Highgate branch.”

“This Agency came across as more realistic about pricing than others. Ultimately this saved time and disappointment, leading to a successful outcome.”

“For varying reasons I had a long business relationship with Winkworths as my estate agent including a Sale and management of a Landlord's Tenancy Arrangement. James has always been very honest and trustworthy and extremely reliable. He's always very professional and I think his advice is based on a lot of years of experience and is invaluable. We had to be quite patient and resilient to get through some turbulence in recent years but the process was always handled fairly and efficiently for all concerned. A sense of humour, appropriately applied, was welcome through the trying times and I anticipate we will remain friends for the long term. I would not hesitate to use Winkworths in Highgate again.”

“I want to let everyone know how helpful, friendly, and knowledgable James Wilkinson is from Winkworth in Highgate. Our house sale was far from straightforward, but James was always on hand with his years of experience. I cannot recommend James and his team highly enough.”

“5 star service, couldn't ask for more. James is a fantastic point of contact between us and the landlord. Any issues we found were sorted quickly and professionally without complications. We had a great experience with Winkworth Highgate and would 100% recommend.”

“Efficient, helpful and professional. Proactive in moving things forward. Also Daryl had a great sense of humour, which helped through a difficult process!”

“Helped with Sale in Highgate area. Good people to deal with in uncertain times. Not your stereotyped Estate Agents types. Good people to deal with with regular helpful feedback.”

“James, your email brought a tear to my eye. Thank you for all you have done. Gosh hard to believe I bought it as my first flat from you over 20 years ago. I have always appreciated your help and wise advice and would like to say thank you for all you have done over the years. Please also extend my sincere thanks to your team, particularly Daryl.”

“James and the team at Winkworth have provided outstanding support throughout every stage of the sale of our property. Winkworth have advocated on our behalf, been consistently generous with their time and advice and guidance, and have patiently steered us through several tricky discussions with the various parties involved in our sale. Thank you so much!”

“James picked up the case from our local agents when things started to go awry, and got the job done in the most difficult circumstances. Our own solicitor of 30 years conveyancing experience agreed it was the most difficult case in his career.”
