We asked three estate agents to quote to sell our house in Tharston last year. Of these, Chris Starking impressed with straightforward answers to our questions. We later found out he had arranged our daughter's purchase a couple of years ago and she was pleased with their work. The process took a while with some viewers really wanting to undercut the asking price, but the house is fairly unique and we got a fair price in the end. We followed their recommendations as to conveyancers and the rest of the legalities as well as a removal company and are happy with the entire process. The virtual tour camera system was great fun to watch and made the house look its best!

Highly recommend Starkings and Watson. From our first meeting with Chris, we felt they understood our needs as vendors and we trusted them with our sale. The sales team were excellent- friendly, professional and unobtrusive. We appreciate Ollie’s help in particular. Melissa in the sales progression team has been excellent at communicating with me, and no question has been too silly. The whole process has felt relatively non stressful as the team has taken all the work on them, leaving us to sort finding our new home. Many thanks

Excellent service from start to finish. Showed great empathy and I was not rushed at the initial stages. Communication was excellent and staff were proactive. I always knew where I was in the process and what was happening. Would use them …

As a first time buyer the whole purchasing process was alien to my partner & I but the team, namely Stephen and Charly were so helpful; being really prompt with answering any queries we had and efficient in chasing progress of our purchase. I would highly recommend Starkings & Watson to anybody looking to sell and/or purchase.

After 18 months on the market, and having tried two other agents we gave Starkings & Watson a go. We regret having not used them earlier, but that’s our mistake. From the start they were on point with communications, updates and follow ups, …

Chris and Co, Thank you all for great support you have given us since we set up with you last year in March. This was not the easiest property to sell and I assume not the easiest chain to deal with but you persevered. We were particularly impressed with Melissa keeping us updated and trying to get information from not very cooperative bottom of the chain’s solicitors. We wish you all the best with the business.

We have just completed on the sale of our parents bungalow, sold through Starkings. From the first meeting with Chris, right through to viewings, and discussing any changes in the marketing and pricing with Carl, then with Daniel at the sales progression stage, Starkings have been excellent. They were sensitive to the emotions the sale brought up, with it being through probate, and kept us apprised at every step, and we're very friendly and professional. I would highly recommend this team, and wish them all the luck with future business. Thank you, from Lesley & Michele

We finally exchanged today! It has been a great help with people like Samuel and Will handling our sale and purchase, we cannot fault them! The journey from Connor showing us the property, all the way through to Will and his sales progression team congratulating us, has been a pleasure and we couldn't recommend more.

Highly recommend Starkings and Watson. I was selling my Mum’s house in Poringland, while living in Australia and I fully expected it to be a stressful experience. Carl Potter and Daniel Siggins who took care of the negotiations and sales progression at different stages should be commended for their communication and level of service. Throughout the entire process I was kept updated regularly and never felt that I didn’t have all the relevant information and advice. They went above and beyond and achieved a great result for everyone concerned. Many thanks.

A truly superb agent. The sales staff were fantastic and worked to sell our recently inherited house and were very good at giving useful feedback which was very helpful. It took some very professional work and they proved to be the right company for the job. The after sales service was second to none and Melissa could not have worked harder as there were problems with parts of the chain with solicitors and they kept us in the picture and the team certainly went the extra mile to help all of the chain achieve their sales & purchases. I could not recommend this company more highly.

Starkings & Watson have provided an exceptional service from first contact to exchange of contract. Chris Starkings took a personal lead in the early stages of our sale, recommending a sales strategy that worked well and maintaining a clear dialogue between potential buyers and ourselves, ensuring open, honest and stress-free negotiations. He was always prompt to reply to emails or calls and provided sound, considered advice throughout the sales process. Sales progression was handled equally well using very clear online tracking software and a dedicated sales progression team. We've moved home many times over the years and some agents lose momentum when an offer is accepted on a property. This was not the case with Starkings & Watson who continued to drive the sale through to completion. Impressively, for such an exceptional service, their fees were highly competitive. I cannot recommend Starkings & Watson highly enough. In a world where the quality of Estate Agents and their reputations vary wildly, Starkings & Watson are a shining example of this often maligned industry getting it right.
