New franchise in addition to Shepherd’s bush and Hammersmith 

Friends and business partners Ravindra Patel and Rupal Patel have taken over the Ealing office of Winkworth, four and a half years after they acquired the company’s Shepherd’s Bush office and a year after the pair took on Winkworth Hammersmith in early 2025.

The Ealing office is a long-established franchise of Winkworth, offering lettings, sales and property management services. The pair plan to further develop and grow the office with the support of Winkworth’s central team.

The Ealing property market has experienced significant growth in recent years, fuelled by the arrival of the Elizabeth Line and local investment.

‘A natural extension’

Rupal Patel, director of Winkworth Shepherd’s Bush and Hammersmith, said: “The Winkworth Ealing office is a natural extension of our existing business and an exciting addition to our portfolio. Its close proximity to Shepherd’s Bush creates significant crossover between the two markets. As a result, we have built a strong understanding of the Ealing area, its communities and the distinct characteristics of its property market. This puts us in an excellent position to support buyers, sellers, landlords and tenants across the area.”

Ravindra Patel, director of Winkworth Shepherd’s Bush and Hammersmith, added: “We regularly work with couples and young families who purchase or rent their first home in Shepherd’s Bush or Hammersmith before making the move to Ealing as their priorities change.

“The area’s outstanding schools, green spaces and strong sense of community make it a natural next step for many. By taking on the Winkworth Ealing office, we can continue supporting these clients throughout their property journey, building long-term relationships as their circumstances and housing requirements evolve.”

The pair say they are open to further expansion opportunities, including bringing the Winkworth brand to parts of West London that are not currently served by a local office.

Patel added: “Winkworth is a highly respected brand with deep roots in the communities it serves and a strong presence across the capital and beyond. Ravi and I are delighted to welcome Winkworth Ealing into our growing network of offices.”

Dominic Agace, chief executive of Winkworth, which now has more than 60 offices across London and a nationwide network of over 100 offices, said: “This acquisition demonstrates how Winkworth supports franchisees to grow and expand their businesses, providing ambitious entrepreneurs with opportunities to progress, achieve their goals and build long-term success with the brand.”
