Excellent service. Particularly impressed by the team who show potential buyers around my home. They made sure they knew my property well and were able to answer questions. They were also good at weeding out buyers who weren’t serious or suitable. Everyone I spoke to was professional, friendly and focused who worked as a team. ... Read more

They really were excellent, they answered all our queries and if we couldn't contact our solicitors they chased it for us. We sold and bought with them, highly recommended.... Read more

They were extremely knowledgeable about the area and its property prices and achieved a price of £100k above the other estate agent's valuations. They kept me appraised of any visits and queries and were always helpful with the myriad situations that arise while selling a property.... Read more

Starkings and Watson is an excellent, modern Estate Agent. When selling our house, we had appropriate viewings and S+W always provided feedback. They were efficient, in regular contact, and there is always someone at the end of the telephone. We have referred friends and family to S+W for house sales, purchases and lettings and have consistently received brilliant reports on their performances. Highly recommended.... Read more

I used Starkings and Watson to sell my property in Norwich. They offered fantastic quality of marketing materials and carried out a Launch Day Event on my home with all the viewings taking place on one day - Saving me cleaning and tidying multiple times. The property was sold on that day and the sale was through in only 85 days.... Read more

Starkings & Watsons were initially very professional. They switch sold us from another agent but once we were on the market it became apparent that the service wasn't going to match the sales patter we received. They were out of their depth selling our home as they didn't know the area and gave up trying to attract potential buyers after they realised that the house wasn't going "to sell itself within four weeks".
If you're in Norwich they seem to do well but think very carefully before falling for the charm if you're more than about 15 miles from the city.
I couldn't recommend them based on our experience with them I'm afraid.... Read more

Had to chase for information of sale, so much so we feel as though we have become a nusiance. House sale was at the end of June, contracts still not exchanged even though property is empty and not involved in a chain. The conveyancer they recommended just as bad.
When the property was on the market we had reports from the person looking out for the property on our behalf that after the agents showing prospective buyers around the property after they had on occasions left gates and garage doors open. The agents blamed this on prospective buyers visiting after they had been shown around the property.
We also had to complain about holes being knocked into one of the bedroom floors and plaster scrapped of the wall in another. The agent informed is it did not happen whilst they were showing people round, but they are the only people with a key, (big mice must have moved in recently!!!!)
The whole experience is a nightmare, communication with all parties very poor.
It is now the 23rd September the day we should exchange contracts, guess what now 4.30pm and not a word from anyone.... Read more

Property listings are matched to data from the Land Registry by our clever algorithm. Clever as it may be, it isn't always right, especially if a property was listed by multiple agents. The asking price is the original listing price, NOT the final listing price.
