GoogleThrough a difficult mortgage application Angie Powell at Starkey and Brown in Lincoln was absolutely fantastic she is very polite and professional she supported us on difficult parts of the house purchase and kept us up to date on proceedings explaining the many different challenging situations and following them through, even though Starkey and Brown was not our estate agent and Angie was not our mortgage adviser she was there when needed, Angie is a credit to the company ,well done and thankyou Angie. Thankyou Starkey and Brown.

GoogleViewed a property at the end of January with Starkey & Brown. The agent was very helpful and friendly and when we asked for more information they got back to us within a few hours. We loved the property and Starkey & Brown's team helped us bid, negotiate and settle on a mutual price within 24 hours. Fast forward 7 short weeks, with Angie Powells support, ensuring communication between each parties solicitors/ vendors were actively engaged in the process we have completed. Fab team and highly recommend. Angie was professional and friendly, and questions we had were resolved within less than 24 hours. Thank you for helping us find our family home, we love it!

GoogleAbsolutely fantastic estate agents. Used these guys to sell quite a small property which was tenanted so a little trickier to deal with and coordinate viewings etc. Ben was brilliant from start to finish and his valuation was spot on. Angie progressed the sale after the offer and she was very proactive getting things done right away. I didn't have to chase anything with this estate agents which is a pleasant change. Easy to contact and great service all round!

GoogleStarkey and Brown (Lincoln) deserve more than five stars in our opinion. Even though we were purchasers rather than sellers and as such we were not their clients they went above and beyond in all aspects and stages of our purchase. Without exception the staff at the Lincoln office did a great job. Worth a specific mention is Sales Progressor Angie Powell. She did a fantastic job of chasing people in the chain and keeping us informed of progress. Highly recommended.

GoogleMy late mother's 3 bedroom, well maintained, if slightly dated, detached bungalow with ensuite, she was 95 when she died, has been listed by Starkey and Brown since March 2023. The sale being arranged by my brother. So far, not even one offer. I'm sorry, but I don't believe the property is so awful, that some positive selling would not have secured a sale. Price already much reduced. New kitchen, new bathroom, conservatory, what's so unusual about buyers negotiating the price on an otherwise very acceptable property if those are needed? Starkey and Brown advertise extensively locally their expertise. I would never, ever recommend them if selling a property.

Hi Eileen, you spoke with our Branch Manager a couple of days ago in regards to your concerns and have arranged a meeting to come and see him next week to discuss this so we were very surprised you have written this before we have had a chance to meet with you. As mentioned within your review, we are dealing with your brother, we keep in regular contact with him in regards to the property advertising and current market conditions and he has always advised he is happy with our service. We don't wish to go into too much detail within our response on a public page as you're not the legal owner of the property so we look forward to meeting you on Wednesday morning to address your concerns.

GoogleWould really recommend Starkey and Brown. I changed my estate agent after feeling that the original one wasn’t really working for me and I had no regrets swapping to Starkey and Brown. From the initial contact with Cara, then Aimee and then Lucy they have been nothing but professional and personable but more importantly I have felt throughout that they were doing everything possible to get the sale of my home. They managed the majority of the viewings and communicated often in order to keep me regularly updated on all aspects of the sale.

GoogleAfter a long marketing campaign through difficult times for sellers, S&B found several buyers for our house, when the market improved. I am very pleased overall. They had a structured and reasonable approach to valuation based on the square metres of land and other features, and they were right ! I am glad I was not tempted to go with agents that proposed a much lower starting price to begin with.
