Starkey and Brown were professional and knowledgeable from start to finish of the sale of my house and I didn't imagine it would be as straightforward and stress free as it turned out to be. Their valuation of my house was very accurate leading to a good amount of interest but not so much interest which would have led to me thinking it was undervalued, something which happened to a neighbour a month or so before my property went up for sale. Each time I contacted Starkey and Brown with any questions I always felt they were pleased I had asked for their support and advice, whether that was dropping in at their office, phoning or e-mailing. If I ever sell again I won't approach 3 estate agents as I did this time but I'll be going straight to Starkey and Brown and will always recommend them to anyone else.

I can wholeheartedly say Starkey and Brown are the best estate agents in the area and would recommend them with no hesitation. I recently went through Starkey and Brown to sort out renting my first home, so naturally I was full of uncertainty and questions. I was lucky enough to be looked after by Vicky, the service and support she provided was superb and second to none. Going the extra mile to ensure that I was always sure of what was going on, even making sure that all service providers and council were sorted, which as someone who has not done the whole house process before I found extremely helpful and a massive weight off my mind.

A very good service as a buyer, I would have given a 5* but it was the vendor that did the viewings, so I can't review that part of the service.

Michael · 10 November 2017 · Starkey and Brown Lincoln

Agent replied · 8 November 2024

Hi Michael, thanks very much for taking the time to share your thoughts. We're glad you had a good experience with us. We do offer a free accompanied viewing service, however some clients do prefer to carry out their own viewings. Should you choose to sell your property with Starkey&Brown in the future, we will gladly take care of all of the viewings and hopefully achieve 5 stars!! Thanks again for your review, we wish you all the best in your new home!

Very disappointing the Agents definitely do not work for the purchaser I had an offer accepted in February 2017 on a property in Greetwell Drive Number 66 to be precise, each month completion was further away in August I through the solicitors and Starkey and Brown that I requested completion by 30th September 2017 as I felt I had waited long enough I was told by Anita and I have a recorded telephone conversation when Anita states that the Sellers are unlikely to complete before December 2017 if then, yet Starkey and Brown re market the property knowing the fact and it is now again SSTC I am awaiting as to what date the property completes and wondered if the whole sale was a scam or whether another would be purchaser is in for an expensive waiting game?

Valerie · 10 November 2017 · Starkey and Brown Lincoln

Agent replied · 8 November 2024

Dear Valerie, we believe that you are referring to a property on Westfield Drive. Whilst we always act in the best interests of all parties involved, we are appointed as agents by the sellers of the property and therefore the sellers are the client we 'work for'. We are sorry that you feel the way you do. It is our understanding that the sale was progressing much slower than you would like, and that you withdrew your offer as a result. We have since agreed a sale to another buyer who is fully aware of the potential lengthy timescales involved and is perfectly happy and flexible with regards to completion dates. Naturally we could elaborate with more specific details, however we do not think this would be professional on such an open public forum, so if you would like to contact the office we would be happy to discuss the matter.

Excellent service from Anita, very professional, supportive and friendly. My poor choice of solicitors made this an extremely stressful and frustrating experience but Anita 'held my hand' throughout and helped push the sale through. Always a pleasure to speak to and would call her again for advice if ever needed. Thanks again.

Sold my house with them but at the last minute it fell through. Bad buyers, that I had concerns over from the start and in the end proved correct. Buyers kept coming round checking things out, bringing builders, slagging the layout off and the wife was extremely disrespectful about me to my partner. I told starkey to inform them I was unhappy and had enough of them. I also told them to tell them no more viewings. This was not communicated and they then said they would do further viewings even though I had told them no more!They pacified them To achieve the sale and gain the commission even though there were clear warning signs. Cost me over £1000 in wasted fees and surveys. Listen to your customers Starkey!

Agent replied · 8 November 2024

Dear Mr Anderton, we are really sorry that your experience with Starkey&Brown has left you disappointed. Whilst we cannot vouch for the attitude of a buyer, we take responsibility as your appointed agent and regret that we weren't able to see your sale through to completion. It would appear that there was some miscommunication with regards to viewings which we also regret. Our customers do tend to compliment the staff on the excellent service they offer, however we clearly haven't met your expectations on this occasion. Whilst some aspects are clearly out of our control we apologise for not being able to make your experience with Starkey&Brown an enjoyable one. We wish you all the best for the future.

Good morning. Just a big thank you from myself and my wife, for what must be one of the fastest sales ever. Compliments to all the team that had dealings with our sale, Angela was prepared to put her running shoes on to drop some documents at solicitors on our behalf, also gave me some very good advice. Starkey and Brown should be very proud of there team.

Our house buying process ran smoothly thanks to the staff at Starkey and Brown. We received regular updates and early warnings of possible issues that enabled us to head off issues long before they could become major problems. Overall, the buying process was was as pain free and efficient as we could have hoped for.

Excellent service and tenacity from Angie Powell at Starkey & Brown who had to deal with slow responses from the sellers side. Would have been 5 stars but unfortunately the House Sale details did not mention or warn about the Private Road Management and Maintenance Charges or the fact that the Title to the Garage was only Leasehold. However, once this was discovered Angie arranged a modest compensation payment. I have no hesitation in recommending this Agency and would deal with them again.
