Estate agency experience: Winkworths ED = Yes, Winkworths FH = No

After a long and protracted selling and buying experience, I thought I would share our experience in case it is useful.


We sold through Winkworths East Dulwich (this is the second house we've sold through them). Excellent. Can't fault them. Our first sale fell through and they found another buyer super quickly and were very responsive through (that is our experience on the sellers side anyway!).


We have then been trying to buy a house listed with Winkworths Forest Hill. Absolute nightmare. The sale almost fell through multiple times in part because of lack of communications and follow through from the agent. We had to take over chasing the other agents in the chain and calling every day to push things along (this was after it took almost 6 months from our offer being accepted to exchange of contracts) and had to just start dealing directly with the vendor. We would leave messages at the office and never get a call back. I think the best part was when I got a call from someone junior within the office after about 4 months of waiting for exchange of contracts asking for an update on how my property search was going...."Why don't you tell me since I've been waiting 4 months to buy a property through you???".


Winkworths ED = recommended.

Winkworths Forest Hill = avoid.


In my experience.

    • The difficulty with all the national shame is that you are handing the world to the right wing populist parties ("The flag, love it or leave it").  You can look at many if not most of Europe for the damage their colonial conquests did to much of the world. For Britain we could equally look at partition and the impact on the Indian subcontinent, 10 million plus death and the bonkers situation with India and Pakistan now.  Spain and Portugal went much further in wiping out much of the population of South America.  i understand that Stalin was less.  We all know about the Third Reich, even then perhaps the allies could have done more. I am not questioning what you say, but sadly most are only concerned about the present and don't care about sins of the past. And back to my earlier comment that some will point out other 'conflicts' attracting much less interest. Not a reason not to march tomorrow

    • I'm interested to know why you say that? They both sell the same kind of thing, they both have own brand products, and unless I've got it completely wrong, they both seem to be trying to attract the same kind of customer? I would have thought a Waitrose and an M&S so close to each other would have split the customer base (?not sure of the correct term) for both of them? People might shop in both, but I'd have thought each store would still lose out on sales?
