Starkings & Watson Avaliações 

Everyone at starkins and Watson have been amazing from start to finish - we would highly recommend them - a special mention to our sales progressor Caroline - she guided us through a tricky exchange to completion - went above and beyond for us

From first putting the house on the market for my mother, the staff at the Brundall office were very efficient, helpful and informative. Sam and James kept us up to date with all viewings and a weekly report of how the house was being viewed on line.

Once a buyer had been found our sale was handed over to Sarah also at the Brundall office, who was also very efficient, friendly and always willing to help and give very helpful advice and making things go ahead smoothly.

All in all the service has been outstanding and faultless.

A very big thank you to the Brundall office.

Brilliant service from start to finish.
Harry is a lovely polite and friendly man.
Janet was brilliant keeping me updated.
Stephen was lovely on showing people round
Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you all 14to my friends.
Thanks all

We recently sold our house through Starlings & Watsons and overall had a positive experience.

The initial valuation was a little higher than the eventual sale price, but we had a figure in mind that we wanted to achieve and they successfully helped us reach that.

There were a few occasions where the agent conducting viewings was running late, which could be frustrating at times. However, everyone was always friendly and professional.

A special mention must go to Janet in the after-sales team. She was excellent throughout the process – always punctual, responsive, and proactive. She regularly chased solicitors and kept things moving forward, which was invaluable during what can be a stressful house sale. Her communication and dedication made a real difference.

Thank you to the team for helping us successfully complete our sale.

This is an addendum to my post on 11th June. Chris Starkings was kind enough to reply, thank you Chris.
The comment that a number of additional viewing requests were received is completely incorrect, there were only 2 additional requests. Both of these advised they were ‘testing the water’ and may go to market, which is why I rejected! instructions had been given on who to commit to a viewing with, these requests were ignored on more than one occasion, Starkings & Watson constantly failed to listen, take or understand direction and show accountability! there were no other requests!!
Mr Starkings commented on key security ‘All keys held within our offices are securely managed and anonymously tagged with a specific S&W key tag, our procedures are designed to ensure keys cannot be linked to individual properties by members of the public’.
We witnessed the complete opposite of this, there was no secure storage (key was within a storage box in a standard cube unit). The key had a small tag but the actual address of the client was clearly visible on the key! I saw this, my wife saw this, it’s a significant security issue!
The issues outlined above are not isolated concerns but form part of a wider pattern of poor communication, lack of accountability and failure to act in the best interests of the client. We placed our trust in Starkings & Watson and, in return, experienced months of wasted time, missed opportunities and repeated disappointment. I will continue to share our experience publicly so that others can make a fully informed decision before choosing to instruct this agency.

We sold our property and purchased our new home through S&W and whilst the transaction was tricky and very stressful to say the least with parts of the chain and their respective solicitors slower than we would have expected. However and thanks in no small part to Rosie we finally completed on the 4th June and i am pretty sure we would have given up had she not been so proactive to chase and keep the chain moving when all seemed lost. Rosie provided updates regularly and sometimes more than once a day to keep us informed we cant thank her enough!!

Chris came and valued our house, he was very polite friendly and knowledgeable in his approach. We felt listened to and confident that our house will sell.
During the whole process, various members of the team interacted with us, Harry showed potential buyers around and liaised with us, he was very friendly and polite. Caroline then helped us through the last few weeks arranging completion dates and waiting for the exchange to occur. Caroline’s positive and friendly manner kept us going during this time. Thank you all everyone.

Our experience with S + W has been positive from the outset. Having purchased with them we also have now sold and it went well. It took a long time to go through but this is in no way their responsibility/fault. Particular credit to Rosie T in sales progression, she absolutely toiled to keep the show on the road when some of the other solicitors created hurdles that I didn't have the time or understanding to try and solve. She definitely kept things moving and undoubtedly helped with things concluding/agreeing exchange earlier than we otherwise would have done. She was also great with timely and meaningful updates which was greatly appreciated. Thankyou Rosie!

My only gripe from the overall process and giving 4 rather than 5 stars was viewings being cancelled on the day - whilst fully appreciating there is only so much within control of the agent, we had multiple viewings cancelled/no show on the day, which was incredibly frustrating at the time. It's hard to say if this was entirely the fault of the prospective viewers (possible) or if more confirmation/verification could have occurred prior to the appointments.

But other than that, all good! Overall, more than happy to recommend and will use again in future when the time comes without hesitation.

Starkings and Watson have been instrumental in finding suitable properties for us in and around the Norwich area particularly as we don't reside in the county. Max Amis has shown us round two properties and was very professional and courteous on both occasion. Tabby too was equally helpful. She alerted us to likely properties and may have found our new home!

What an absolute star Rosie Turley, our sales progressor from the Poringland office has been. It's been a very long stressful time for us, with ups and downs every week, all from the lower chain I might add. She has chased every day for us and I really believe without her hard work and determination we would still be waiting for completion. Thank you so very much Rosie, an amazing job!

We have experienced remarkable support and services from Starkings & Watson throughout the process of selling our house.
From their initial appraisal to marketing, negotiating of the sale, offering of unbiased guidance and continuous updates from professional sales admin team support, this usually monumentally stressful life changing event has really felt like a shared load therefore less of a heavy burden than it might have been otherwise.

All the staff have been very professional and helpful both when valuing and marketing the property and showing potential buyers round. I would like to say a particular thank you to Janet Riches for all her hard work to progress the sale in what were difficult circumstances. Thank you to everyone at Starkings & Watson.

I have really been happy with the support I have had throughout my buying experience with Starkings & Watson. Liz at the Bungay office has always been available for information and advice. She and the team are friendly and approachable, and nothing is too much trouble. I'm really glad they were there to support. It's been a lovely experience.

Excellent support for the sale of our property. We had a very challenging sale for our property as the process went on for much longer than expected and became very stressful however throughout it all the sales progression team kept us updated on a regular basis, they were always there to offer support and tried exceptionally hard to keep the chain in the sale moving along although there were many challenges. Caroline from the Poringland sales progression team was fabulous, so calm and attentive and always updating us when she said she would, she worked exceptionally hard to help negotiate us through this very frustrating sale I can’t thank her enough. Great team, I would certainly use them again for future sales.

Starkin & Watson Diss Office. Have just sold my property in Scole, I have to say Jake and Steve did all they could to get viewers through the door and assisted so much last year when I was in hospital for nearly 3 months. Excellent service, excellent communication , professional and helpful. I would highly recommend. Thanks again.

I have never used Starkings & Watson before, but was very impressed with the service that we received when buying our home.
Janet Riches kept us in the loop on a weekly basis and on the couple of occasions I spoke to her, I couldn’t fault her.

Team of very professional people always happy to help and proactively supporting the whole of the complicated and complex process of house purchase. Thank you guys! You do a very good job in helping a dream come true! I would like to say I big thank you for the team in Norwich Poringland office: Rosie, Charlotte and Max thank you guys!

Great service from start to finish on our sale. Knowledgeable, friendly and easy to contact the team helped us every step along the way. We really feel that Sam and Sarah deserve a special mention.

I would like to leave a review for Janet Richards sales progression.

Janet took over the progression of sales on my property part way through the process.

She picked everything up quickly and made what turned out to be a tricky process as smooth as she could.

Janet is professional, warm and tailors you as an individual with needs.
Always kept me updated to try and ease my concerns every step of the way.

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
She was a total happy delight to talk too.
Well done Janet- your worth your weight in gold!
