Absolutely brilliant estate agents. During these tough times S&B made the daunting process of buying our first home easy and stress free. I'd like to thank Melanie for sending the initial link to the property and also Kara for showing us round. But in particular I'd like to give special thanks to Lucy for all the work she put in as our sales progessor. She was always available to answer my (many) questions and was constantly calling and emailing to us to keep us in the loop. Not once did I have to chase or wait any length of time for a call or reply to an email. I can't thank Lucy and S&B enough for how smooth they made the whole buying process. We will 100% recommend S&B to anyone and we will certainly use them again in the future.

We have just used Starkey and Brown in Scunthorpe, firstly to rent our property short term and then sell it. We would highly recommend using them and have nothing but appreciation for their hard work. They have made selling our house easy and stress free. They have been fantastic from start to finish. They have been helpful, great with communication, gone above and beyond and came up with some great solutions to rent our house / get it sold. Kara initially dealt with us and gave us all the information we needed, a good rate and took some fantastic pictures of the house. Melanie also got involved and helped push the rental and sale side of things through effectively. A bonus is their sales progression team, Lucy has been great at pushing things forward, keeping us up to date and ensuing a quick and smooth sale. We have never had any issue with contacting them and nothing has been to much for them to do! Again highly recommend .

We sold our home with Starkey and Brown in February 2021, the process was so easy and stress free! They kept us up to date with all stages and we’re very easy to contact when needed. Kara come out to the house to value and take pictures, she was so lovely and made me feel relaxed by the whole process (our first house sale). Would 100% recommend Starkey and Brown which we have done for family and friends since our sale.

Moving house is always stressful but working with Starkey and brown has reduced this considerably. From the time Kara did the valuation to the support we have had from the selling team they have always been supportive and professional. We sold our house in 3 weeks mainly due to their help with viewings and helpful advice

Can't thank Starkey and Brown for helping us sell our house so quickly. We were recommended Starkey and Brown by a friend, and I'm glad we went with them. Selling your house can be really daunting but Lucy, Kara and Aimee were so friendly and knowledgable, I just knew we were in safe hands. We'd found a house we loved, so selling ours quickly and at the right price was essential. The S&B team understood the assignment and we'd accepted a great offer less than a week later. We never needed to chase them or anything, and they just fit everything around us. Now we're the friends recommending them to others!

Starkey's have been brilliant from start to finish, with Kara coming to take photos and even helping us move pieces of furniture about to make it look as good as possible. Then we had Melanie and Lucy who saw us through the entire process. I never once had to chase Starkey's as they always kept in touch giving us guidance throughout the whole process! Wouldn't hesitate to use them again!!

Kara came to value my house as I wanted to sell. She did a great job and the pictures she took were brilliant. Very friendly and gave my all the information I needed very clearly. I had a courtesy call the following day from Melanie which to me meant a lot. Amie then took over and she was also great as she sorted out a query I had straight away and again very friendly. With the marketing that was done my house sold in about 10 days. I’ve since had call from Lucy to keep me up date with the progress. I can’t rate Starkey & Brown high enough.

At Starkey & Brown I was assisted with a valuation and advice for the potential sale of a property. An appointment was easy to arrange to my convenience. I was promptly met at the house by Property Consultant Kara Mortimer. Kara viewed the property before taking time to offer some genuine and very useful advice in a nicely simple but professional manner. The appointment was successfully concluded in a reasonable time and importantly without any pressure whatsoever. Well done Kara and Starkey/Brown.

We listed and sold our property with Starkey and Brown last year and they were fabulous from start to finish. Kara came to value the property and was friendly, professional and very helpful. Once we listed we secured a sale very quickly thanks to Aimee and the team promoting our property. We had a lot of issue with the property we were purchasing and Lucy our sales progress or had great advice and patience with us. Very helpful and understanding in a difficult situation. All in all, a great team. Thank so much for helping ease the stress of our move 😊

I was very impressed by he customer service I received with Starkey & Brown. Kara initially viewed the property and was very professional and friendly explaining the whole procedure involved to sell the property. Everything was dealt with promptly and Lucy took over the sale. She contacted me every week without fail to keep me in the loop of the sale progress . She helped me through the whole process and also spoke to my buyers when probate was delayed. A great team, five stars, would recommend them to anyone .

Having read other Google reviews, I invited Starkey & Brown as one of three local agents to potentially list my ex rental property. I was initially impressed by Kara’s professional attitude and so agreed for her to list the house. Even though mine wasn’t the nicest on the street, Starkey & Brown secured an offer in just eight weeks. The whole team have been very approachable, professional and made the sale hassle free. I would recommend their services if you are looking to sell in the Scunthorpe area.

I’m in the process of buying a property with Starkey and Brown. Aimee is fantastic. She helps me every steps from putting my offer until the sale process. Aimee is friendly and very easy to contact. I’m very pleased with her work. Kay and Lucy are also fantastic. I hope my purchase will go through smoothly with the team. I give five stars to Starkey and Brown.

What a fantastic experience from start to finish and we couldn’t be happier that we chose to sell our home with Starkey & Brown. From the initial valuation, I knew they were the estate agents we wanted to use. Kara was knowledgable and professional and we were pleased with the valuation she suggested. The photographs and video she put together were brilliant and portrayed our home exactly as it was. Light, bright, airy and spacious. Following on from listing our property, Aimee and Mel were brilliant at keeping us updated with viewings and chasing up feedback straight away. They continuously kept us in the loop and were always at the end of the phone if we needed them. After securing a sale, Lucy has been great at ensuring the transaction is moving well, liaising with the buyers and updating us when necessary. I knew from the start that Starkey & Brown were the right choice and the proof has been in how they’ve secured and handled our sale. We couldn’t be happier and wouldn’t think twice about recommending them to a friend.

I was disappointed by how much they overcharge with final deductions from my deposit. I had to pay 100 just to clean an oven that was never used since I first entered the flat, for instance. The agency can advise the landlords not to be predatory with the deposit.

Aris Β· 9 November 2022 Β· Starkey and Brown Lincoln

Really sorry but I think there's been a misunderstanding in regards to your review as we only specialise in sales and don't have a lettings department at our Lincoln office.
