Entrepreneurial Winkworth duo expand portfolio with Ealing acquisition

Friends and business partners Ravindra Patel and Rupal Patel have expanded their Winkworth property portfolio by acquiring the Ealing office, adding to their existing operations in Shepherd’s Bush and Hammersmith.

The pair, who first worked independently before launching their joint venture four and a half years ago, have steadily grown their presence in West London through a series of strategic acquisitions.

Rupal Patel said the Ealing branch is a natural extension of their business, citing the close links between Shepherd’s Bush and Ealing and their strong knowledge of both local markets. She believes this positions them well to serve buyers, sellers, landlords and tenants in the area. Ravindra Patel added that many clients begin in Shepherd’s Bush or Hammersmith before moving to Ealing as their needs change, particularly families drawn by the area’s schools, green spaces and community feel.

The Ealing office has an established reputation, with strong sales, lettings and property management services already in place. The Patels plan to build on these foundations with support from Winkworth’s central team. Ealing has seen notable growth in recent years, helped by the Elizabeth Line and investment in new housing, making it increasingly attractive to commuters and families.

Both directors say they remain open to further expansion across West London. Winkworth chief executive Dominic Agace welcomed the acquisition, praising the Patels’ leadership and highlighting the deal as an example of how the brand supports franchisees to grow successful businesses over the long term.
