GoogleLaura has helped me find my ideal home in a very difficult and competitive market. Sale not completed yet, but I have no reason to believe it won't be a smooth professional sale having bought through them previously. Thank you Laura and Sowerbys.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

TrustpilotPoor communication
The communication during the home-buying process was very poor. When an offer is made ‘subject to survey,’ it is reasonable to expect Sowerbys to clarify their position. They should have the courtesy to explain that, in their view, paying for a survey will not be considered once a first offer has already been accepted on that basis.

GoogleAfter a long drawn out time on the market, Sowerbys - and particularly Rachel Harbour - managed to do what I'd begun to think was impossible. A successful house sale! A very professional yet down to earth and friendly service. Thank you lovely Rachel!

GoogleWe sold our family house in Holt with Sowerby's and from the outset the whole team were wonderfully engaged and professional. The photography and marketing materials were extremely good quality and meant that we had accepted an offer within six days. Laura was involved in the process from start to finish. She was supportive and understanding throughout, and we benefitted from her knowledge and experience at all stages. We would not hesitate to recommend Sowerby's for any future property sale or purchase. A massive thank you to Laura and the team.

GoogleWe have been very pleased with the way Sowerbys have handled the sale of our property.
In particular, Joanna, who took on the progression of our sale once we had accepted an offer, was exceptional.. She was unfailingly efficient, polite, helpful, diplomatic and above all else, calm and reassuring.
When things seemed to be getting rather fraught, she was the voice of reason and reassurance among the frustrations which automatically come with selling a house.
Joanna never failed to keep us up to date with progress and could always be relied on to return a call or message - something which is sadly lacking in so many businesses these days.
From our experience, this young lady is worth her weight in gold and we can't thank her enough.
Her position with the company is an excellent plus for Sowerbys.PositiveProfessionalism

GoogleSuper professional, from start to finish.
We had several valuations from the usual suspects, but we were never in doubt as to whom we wanted to work with.
Sowerbys (Holt) were on another level.
Their knowledge, advice (pre sale, viewing/negotiating and post sale) and overall service to us as their customer was absolutely first class.
The quality of their communication was of the highest order, likewise the production of the sales collateral for our house.
Thank you to you all, you made what is often a quite stressful experience really quite painless!

GoogleOver the years I have been involved in the purchase and sale of some 13 properties. The experiences were not always comfortable, however from the first meeting with Sowerbys Sales Manager/Valuer, Charlie, followed by 21 bookings for viewings and acceptance of an offer in less than 2 weeks of marketing I was convinced that Sowerbys is the best Estate Agent I have come across. Their efficiency is like a well-oiled machine and their performance in communicating is outstanding. Laura Bird certainly demonstrated her ability to obtain the best offer. Following this, Joanna Lobb took over to steer me though the solicitors’ queries and the contracts. Jo provided me with frequent updates on how the sale was progressing, being more positively involved in chasing outstanding matters than many solicitors I have known. I would recommend Sowerbys to anyone thinking of buying or selling a property. They are first class from start to finish.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

GoogleWe chose Sowerbys of Holt largely on the recommendation of an old school friend who had spent most of his career as an estate agent/surveyor in East Anglia.
Nobody could have provided more positivity and encouragement than Charlie (Sales Manager/Valuer) when he paid us his first visit; we immediately knew things had got off to a good start. Following a very competent presentation of the property we received two 'best and final offers' within a mere 17 days of his initial visit; one of these offers was from the person to whom we have now sold the property. Sowerbys did all they could to expedite the sale: their communication with our solicitors was exemplary. Throughout the process Laura Bird acted as a patient and judicious intermediary between ourselves and our buyer. We have nothing but the highest praise for the commitment shown by Laura and her colleagues.
It used to be customary for Brits working overseas, like myself, to offer to buy a helpful colleague a farm in Bond Street. My old school friend can dream on, but I'll always be grateful for his recommendation.
