GoogleWe were selling my Mum's flat in Birkenshaw due to her passing away. The team at Robert Watts from the start were professional, compassionate and also really helpful with other parts of the process. Kept us in the main, up to date with everything during the sale and on completion. Only two wee niggles, one the 'portal' was a tad lame and the email received a few days ago, asking if we had settled into our new home! Now, very aware it is a generic email probably sent to all. These really should be personalised to fit whatever scenario regarding the sale etc, considering the fees that are charged. All in all, we would consider using Robert Watts if we needed an estate agent in the future.
Thank you for your thorough review and comments Andy and we’ll definitely keep these in mind as we are always looking to improve going forward.

Lauren we are most distressed to receive this review but we can’t accept applications if you haven’t viewed the house.

GoogleNot very helpful at all unfortunately. I'm homeless, sofa surfing after fleeing domestic abuse and sadly I couldn't make a viewing for a property due to work commitments, I only got offered the viewing yesterday. Apparently it's their policy that you HAVE to view the property before putting in an application. I can't find this policy on their website and despite my awful situation they offered no solution and were very abrupt. Very unfortunate because other Estate Agents have been very considerate. Surely if I'm okay putting in an application having only seen pictures, knowing full well the property would be suitable for myself as a single person that should be enough, as it is with most estate agents but it isn't and gets you a very frosty response.

GoogleCame across Robert Watts after they sold one of the neighbour’s properties. Initial service was a bit iffy. Photos were quick and we didn’t get a Facebook post like others so some admin was missed and when we did receive an offer on the house it was out that would probably be our only offer so knocked a star off. However the after offer and sales stage was brilliant, Nikki and the team helped push the sale on as quickly as they could and gave advice where needed so couldn’t fault them. An excellent mediator for when you have useless conveyancers. Would recommend.

GoogleShame you can't just put an address in the search bar and it comes up,instead it comes up with houses all over that area! We had seen 3 houses we wanted to purchase for our daughter but gave it up,ended up buying from another estate agent, your charges should reflect your efficiency and its obvious that your search engine needs bringing into this century. We are looking to downsize shortly now the last child has flown the nest,we will try watts again but if after 20 mins I can't find what I'm looking for,well, someone else will gain from your lack of updating your search engine.
Ian we are sorry you have had so much trouble with the website but it was updated this year and we have had no other complaints to be fair. You can narrow the search via miles radius if that helps but please contact the office if you would like more details.

GoogleWe used Roberts Watts to sell and buy a property this year (2022). The initial process of selling our property was completely new to us but after an evaluation from James Watts and the subsequent support from his team, getting our property on the market and selling quickly was excellent. We purchased a new build property through Robert Watts, which meant once the sale was confirmed, we had to wait for the build to be completed. During this ttime,Robert Watts kept us well iinformed,which helped massively. We wouldn't hesitate recommending Robert Watts to anyone.
We really appreciate you posting this super review Liam and we’re so pleased everything went accordingly to plan on the sale and purchase. Enjoy your new home.

GoogleI recently attempted to buy a house with Robert Watts and Nicky was the lady who I dealt with the majority of the time. Although the sale did not complete through no fault of Robert Watts, it was an awful process which was incredibly stressful and they were dealing with a difficult seller. Nicky was absolutely phenomenal in her communication, efficiency, care, friendliness, honesty and kindness. She really empathised with my situation and worked hard to support me, find answers, chase solutions and a facilitate a way forward for me. She has been the light in a dreadful situation and went above and beyond in her role. If you get Nicky as your sales negotiator you are in excellent hands-that lady deserves a pay rise, a medal and a promotion! She wasn’t working for me but it felt like she was totally in my corner with me and understood me and my situation. At no point did she lie to me, ignore me, mislead me or pacify me for the organisations’ own gain. She restored my faith in humanity, there are some genuinely great people out there and she is definitely one of them. If you appreciate straight forward, raw and real communication then this is the estate agent for you! Keep up the amazing work!
