I would like to thank Octavia for selling my house. She was brilliant from start to finish. Could not wish for better service

I cannot praise Sowerbys Dereham highly enough. During my protracted sale they continually went above and beyond to iron out every problem and to move the process along. Nothing was too much trouble and the whole team was extremely professional and responsive, negotiating on my behalf and keeping me fully informed. But my special thanks must go to Octavia, who went far beyond the normal call of duty to ensure that my sale was completed. My sincere thanks to all of you.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

We purchased our new home through Sowerbys and were very pleased with the service they provided, especially Joanna in the After Sales Team. All our queries were dealt with speedily and helped us achieve a speedy completion.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

Jessica Tuttle and the wider team at Sowerby's Dereham are incredible, they exceeded all our expectations. Proactive from start to finish. They kept us up-dated at every stage from marketing the property, registering interested parties, negotiating with potential buyers and making sure potential buyers and their extended chain were legitimate and had the means to purchase and once the sale was agreed keeping in touch with all parties and their solicitors to avoid unnecessary delays and bring the sale to completion. Astoundingly good service we cannot recommend them highly enough.

We purchased our next home through Sowerbys. Really can't fault the service we received. From the initial viewing and offer stage, overseen by Katie. To the aftersales lady Terie, went above and beyond to get the purchase over the line. Thanks again Jonny and Jo.

I have been embroiled in a very difficult divorce and had to put our forever home on the market very reluctantly. Sam Holland completed the valuation in a very sympathetic and courteous way. Aaron Watson then managed the viewings and the sale of our home but also found us a lovely bungalow in Mattishall. Aarons professionalism , sympathy and continued patience and understanding of our situation has quite frankly been exemplary and way beyond what one would expect for anyone . Aaron had helped us realise what we could achieve in difficult circumstances even finding us a superb mortgage consultant from Broadland Consulting which was instrumental in securing our chain and our our purchase. I would thoroughly recommend this Estate Agency beyond any other.

Contrary to expectations, my house was on the market, in the hands of Sowerbys, for over three years, during which time I was approached by several rival agencies seeking to take on the business. A major factor influencing my resistance to these offers was the service I received from Octavia Heath. Octavia brought to the task not only a knowledge of the mysteries and mechanics of the market, but also a professionalism leavened by a sense of humour. Her understanding of, and empathy with, the needs of this client contributed significantly to alleviating the inevitable frustrations experienced in the process of property selling. Having now made a successful move, it remains to convey to Octavia my thanks for her unremitting professionalism.

I have had nothing but a positive experience so far with Jessica. In a pressured environment such as purchasing a property she has been extremely responsive and acted quickly, communicated clearly at every stage and with professionalism. To follow up, our after sales was handled by Zoe and she was excellent...and really worked to get the sale though. As buyers it can often feel like an agent is working solely for the vendor but in this case Zoe really worked hard for both parties to finally get what became a rather lengthy process completed. We are now utterly delighted to be in our lovely new home!

Buying and selling a home is never easy, but even harder when relocating from one county to another. We have looked at quite a lot of properties, many with Sowerbys. Viewings with their Kings Lynn, Dereham and Fakenham Branches. I just wanted to thank everyone who has helped organise or attended viewings with us in our search over the last few months. I also wanted to give a special shout-out to Aaron at the Dereham office. His professionalism, patience, understanding and local knowledge was just outstanding. If all goes well we move this Summer and are very excited to put down new roots in this beautiful county and look forward to discovering every thing Norfolk has to offer.

Sowerbys is a fantastic Estate Agent and I would highly recommend them !! Not only do they sell some of the loveliest properties in Norfolk they really care about their clients and equally the buyer which helps to foster a great atmosphere making the whole buying process as seamless as possible. We are buying a wonderful house through the Sowerbys Dereham Office dealing with the lovely Aaron Watson who has been incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and supportive and we cannot thank him and the rest of the team enough for all their help !!

My experience with Sowerbys has been faultless. Swift response to our initial online enquiry, valuation arranged to work around our commitments, when carried out the valuation was professional and informative & we were also put into contact with Broadland mortgage consultants, again fantastic brokers and incredibly useful! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Sowerbys team and if we do look to market our property, we have already found our agent!

Sowerbys managed our rental in Watton extremely well. If something needed fixing, it was arranged quickly and without fuss. After 3 years renting out, we decided to sell which proved a bit more testing. The first SSTC proved to be flakey. Despite passing the Sowerbys mortgage governance checks, the buyer’s mortgage arrangement proved to be fiction, causing quite a delay. To Sowerbys credit they picked the sale challenge back up quickly and despite 2 more SSTC false starts, buyer number 4 is now the proud owner. Buyer 4 was also buyer 2 - I know, complicated, and it is to Sowerbys great credit that this connection was nurtured. The only other comment relates to process. It was a little unclear who was chasing the solicitor and who the solicitor was emailing. Sometimes me, sometimes Sowerbys, sometimes both. As a result, it was quite difficult to know where we were with the process from SSTC through to completion. Might it be possible to show the progressing sale status on an App, with protected access for the solicitor, Sowerbys and the client?
