I met Woody at a viewing of a flat that I found on Rightmove. The property did not really meet my expectations, but when I briefly described my needs, Woody offered me another one. He was doing his best to offer me a good flat. He was helpful and honest and also well informed about things like the Council Tax. He was very effective and fast during the negotiations.
There was a difficulty at the stage of signing the contract as the first version of the contract that Woody sent to me was not worked out properly; apparently, he did not check the text before sending it. The numbering was totally wrong, there were links to non-existing claims and also strange claims such as "This Agreement falls outside the scope of the Housing Act 1988". Luckily, I sought advice before signing the contract and had a long list of changes. This resulted in Woody sending me a totally different draft, which my advisor found OK. Finally, Woody was able to include in the contract all the claims I wanted (mostly concerning the deposit security scheme), he again was helpful and flexible.
I am now renting the property for ca. 2 months and everything is going very well. My tenant is very nice and I am very happy with my flat. I appreciate Woody's advice at the stage of choosing the property and his help during the negotiations. Despite the difficulty with the signing of the contract, I would recommend working with Winkworth, Pimlico, since they were able to resolve the problem when it arose. However, no matter who you work with, always seek advice before you sign the contract.

I can not recommend Edward highly enough. As a search agent we work with many agents and not all are that helpful. Edward went above and beyond the call of duty. He was good at updating myself and my client and was always contactable. Edward ...

I just bought a lovely flat in Pimlico. Sara Lowry did help me on that transaction. I must say that having dealt with various agents, Sara was particularly reactive and proactive, keeping me updated on the status of the deal. And this from the first ...
