Starkings & Watson Avis 

We had such a fantastic experience selling our house with Starkins and Watsons, Bungay. From the very beginning, Liz and Martin were brilliant – their communication was outstanding, with calls always answered or returned straight away. They were honest throughout the entire process and provided such reassuring support.
After the sale was agreed, Will took over as our representative and he was equally excellent. He kept us updated every week, so we always knew exactly what was happening, and he was always on the other end of the phone if we needed anything.
The whole team worked together seamlessly and really went above and beyond for us. We couldn’t have asked for a better service. We would absolutely use Starkins and Watsons again and highly recommend them to anyone looking to sell or buy a property.

I have never enquired with, nor used this company. My property was listed on the market with another agent. Starkings&Watson have searched my property address up to obtain my details off land registry to write to me.

Although it’s not illegal, it’s unethical and pushy. I’ve never experienced such tactics.

Sadly, what this achieves for me, is the opposite of what they are hoping to achieve. I’m put off by slimy, pushy agents and I feel violated by them obtaining my name and address, to cold call me.

They need to adjust their morals. As this will lose customers!

We had a very good experience overall with Starkings and Watson when we purchased our property in Norwich. It was especially helpful to have Janet Riches progressing the purchase. She kept us updated with regular communications, stayed on top of everything, chased where necessary, and was a friendly and helpful support in what can sometimes be a stressful process.

Second time using Starkings & Watson with buying and selling properties and we received excellent service each time.
Everyone from Harry re Valuation, Daniel and team with negotiating and Janet in the finishing team. Communication was very good and weekly updates received, so we knew at every stage what was happening.
Would definitely recommend
Thank you

Second house sold with the Costessey office, all according to plan and completion in 2 days.
I was kept informed all the way through the process and would use again.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Friendly, Professional, and Trustworthy

I had a really positive experience with Starlings & Watson. The team was always friendly, professional, and easy to communicate with. They took the time to listen and offered honest, helpful advice without ever being pushy.

Their approach felt genuinely personal, and they clearly care about doing right by their clients. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy estate agent. A pleasure to deal with from start to finish.

Starkings & Watson was a good agent, well approachable and quick with the listings. We reduced the rent to aid them in securing interest and they got a viewing shortly after the property went on the market at the new rental value. They were good at communicating that the viewing was going ahead.

Unfortunately, they were not on time for the viewing, in fact 45 minutes late and therefore i (the landlord) had to conduct the viewing. If i had not been there the viewing had not gone ahead as the agent was not able to get of hold of either the potential tenant or myself. Lucky as i am a proactive landlord, the viewing went ahead.

When discussing the lateness of the agent, they advised it was due to travel times, which makes me think they should not have expanded their scope of work outside Norwich.

Also, Chris Starkings, does not believe a reduction of fee should be accounted for, due to missed/late apportionments.

Regardless of all this, the application is moving forwards and we are likely to secure the tenant. The office/referencing team at Starkings have been in contact quickly and i have been told to expect a few days before referencing is complete

Buying through Starkings and Watson Poringland was a simple process and Janet Riches provided information regularly on how things were progressing with the sale and remained positive throughout.

I was attempting to buy a property near Great Yarmouth and had it not been for Caroline Larke I would have given up long before completion , which took 7 months !! Caroline kept me in the loop , rang me regularly with updates and generally was a real superstar - she deserves a huge Thankyou from us both !!

A really good service from start to finish from the team at Poringland. They sold our house but in the process of it being advertised, we received regular updates. We were usually not home when viewings took place but the few where we were home, we could clearly see that the agent showing the clients around knew the house well and could answer their questions from being well prepared.

I recently used starkingsandwatson to sell my property and can honestly say everything went smoothly from the initial valuation through to completion. Kerri at the wymondham branch has a great team. The photographer was really great and took lovely photos. Clare kept me informed as the sale progressed. I am so pleased that my elderly mum is now using them for the sale of her property.

This is the second time I have used Starkings & Watson in the last 5 years. Their professionalism has been second to none, in fact outstanding. For my recent move, John Payne was very good at pushing my sale and giving that much needed viewer feedback, with a slight adjustment on the seller process, his idea my property sold. The after sales with Will Crawford again was outstanding with regular upto date emails and phone calls on the process of the sale, even support when my buyers buyers had a delay. We all know selling and buying homes is incredibly stressful, but these guys made it a whole lot easier. Thank you

Excellent service, just completed my purchase with starting and Watson Poringland branch, the service was great from start to finish, Janet was brilliant she kept me informed about every step. Would 100% recommend this estate agent. Thankyou

We decided to move up to Norwich from Essex and after initially telling us that We couldn’t view the property that we liked as there was too many viewings, They decided to book us in last minute. We drove up from Essex to view the property. Isabel and Jess, I cannot fault for their politeness and professionalism. After only a couple of days, we got told that The property was ours. I cannot tell you how happy We were to get our dream of moving to Norwich. Isabel was always polite when she showed us around and on time when we went to collect the keys. A very well spoken polite young lady Very professional, friendly and helpful.

Keep receiving letters through the post despite being listed with another estate agent

They were very helpful in all aspects of our purchase. Caroline was so helpful and went out of her way to make sure everything was communicated to not only the immediate chain, Caroline kept all the chain informed.
Caroline was amazing. Thank you

Recently purchased a property in Caister and could not have wished for a better service. From start to finished Janet Riches was a super star! Weekly calls to inform us of updates in our chain of 6. Endlessly chasing the chain and their solicitors to get answers and follow up on queries.
She was a breath of fresh air compared to the estate agent we used to sell our property. Thank you so much for your help and professional approach

A complete joke for an estate agent.
Completely overpricing properties with the hope of a larger commission.
Unrealistic and greedy. Avoid these cowboys at all costs.
You’ll only end up dropping the price to sell, which looks desperate, and then going elsewhere to another agent anyway.
Don’t waste your time.

Not used them to sell our property but viewings via them and these are my views.

1. Hasseled 10 mins after viewing property by phone, i will give feedback when i deem required.
2. Property shown on website & rightmove after being told its off the market & then i find that property for rent on another website? is it for sale or not??.
3. Multiple texts hassling about feedback on viewings.
4. Constant flyers through our door offering to sell our house when they have zero chance of me selling via them & they know i am happy with my current agent, save your paper & time !.
5. Properties they advertise between 20-40k over what they are actually worth.
6. Lastly "Offers in excess of" one of the most stupidly used estate agent terms in the world, if a property is listed as 310k im not going to offer 350k. Tell the potential buyer how much you want not leave us to bid like an auction & guess.

All in all too pushy & to desperate in my view and need to tone down on the persistant contact, its a busy world out there with many estate agents who adopt a much better approach to house sales.

We have recently purchased a property through Starkings and Watson. We received a great level of service from Caroline who was on hand to assist us along the way, she was professional, polite and courteous throughout. A real asset to the company.

Our only negative is that it would have been nice to have a direct dial telephone number for her. Although she did always return our calls promptly, a direct contact would have been easier for us.
