I will never even wish my experience with this agency with even my worst enemy. So unprofessional and took my deposit money

1.00 /5

The property management team are absolutely terrible. We were reliable tenants for two years. We had a severe leak and mould issue that lasted over 5 months with absolutely no help from the team. As a result, we actually decided to hand in our notice as no one could give us a timeframe for when they mould would be cleared. We have now been waiting a month to see any of our deposit back. Avoid renting with Winkworth Reading at all costs.

Edit/Response to owner: Are you kidding me? Tell that to my solicitor! Plus, you're mentioning one issue out of about 20 problems we've had since day one. I am now nearly at the end of my tenancy and you guys have decided to change management and do something about it but I would rather take this to court, thanks (for nothing). ALL RENTERS READ THE 1 STAR REVIEWS BEFORE TAKING A PROPERTY WITH THIS LOT. Remember as tenants you have rights and take legal action against rogue landlords and traders such as this lot. I did and I'm happy I did, justice must be served. WHEN THINGS GO WRONG, IT'LL TAKE MONTHS FOR THEM TO PULL THEIR FINGERS OUT.

Dear Mr Bhatti, I am sorry you are not happy with the service you have received, however I understand that my colleague in Property Management has responded to you on each occasion you have reported a maintenance issue. The recent issue regarding the dishwasher leaking was reported on the 17th of November and my colleague responded to you on the 21st of November as the office is not open on the weekends. My colleague asked you for some further information as to where the dishwasher was leaking from, as the contractor had asked for this. I do not believe there was a need for this review to be left. If you would like to discuss this further please give me a call.

Will never recommend this agency. I was really appalled by the lack of support and having to chase them on every step and what to expect next and the lack of information which was quite frustrating and unprofessional.

Awful experience - they tried to take 80% (£800) of my deposit, claiming for pre-existing damages and fair wear and tear. They tried to charge me for having furniture marks from where my furniture had been sitting and for cracks in the walls, chipped handles and scuffs (and much more!) that had been there since moving in. Luckily I had pictures from my move in date. They did not look at the check in report and instead tried to charge me for whatever they could. Unbelievably awful disgusting treatment after being a reliable, great tenant. Do not go through this agency as they support thieving landlords. Pretty sure the cleaning company they use help them give fake invoices to take more of tenant money (£300 worth). Utterly disappointed in their behaviour.

You requested to leave your property early without paying any early release fees. This was agreed by the Landlord and the check out was done and agreed. You then decided that you weren't happy with the deductions that the Landlord wished to make and because he then wished to take it to dispute. These are not valid reasons for leaving a 1* review so I suggest you remove it.

As you have given this review without a name or any reason it's very hard to understand what the issue is and whether you've even given us the opportunity to try and resolve it. We cannot search kk on our system so please either get in touch with me frutherford@winkworth.co.uk explaining the reason for your complaint or remove this review.

This is a disappointing review and I would like to discuss further as we have no record of your name on our system and no member of staff in the office has spoken to you. Please call 0118 4022 300 and press option 1 to come through to the main office or email me at frutherford@winkworth.co.uk
