Laura Bird at Sowerbys in Holt has worked relentlessly and tirelessly for over two years to find us our forever family home in North Norfolk. The lengths she has gone to the guide and advise us through our ever changing criteria have known no bounds and stretched beyond the call of duty at times. Whilst we’ve got to know her well, and she us, throughout this time, she’s never faltered from her professional attitude and commitment to her clients. It’s been those qualities which have lead me to trust her to guide my mum through the sale of her lifelong home in Norfolk. No higher recommendation.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

I’ve just purchased a property through Sowerbys and I can truly say I had a top class service. All the team are friendly and helpful. Laura worked very hard to make the deal happen for us initially. I would totally trust her as a vendor and of course as a purchaser. She wouldn’t let the sale proceed until I’d given her the confidence and proof that a mortgage was available, however hard I tried 😂 Zoe in after sales support was indeed super supportive and efficient with keeping everything together until completion. When we hit a hitch last minute, Zoe managed, through her connections and know-how, to get it sorted so we could complete. We’re so happy! Thank you Sowerbys xxx

From initial valuation right through to completion, Sowerbys impressed us with their professionalism and friendly personal service. Nothing was too much trouble, and the recommendations they gave for surveyors, removals, etc proved invaluable. Huge thanks in particular to Paul and Laura for their dedication which made the whole process a lot easier than it usually is. The sales brochure is absolutely stunning and it means you really can’t fail to sell at the price you want. Sowerbys may not be the cheapest, but they are the best.PositiveQuality, Professionalism

Not only has she been helpful,but also a pleasure to meet, and has the personality that makes her a pleasure to be in her company. We are now in the throes of our purchase and so Joanna has taken over our file, and she also very nice. Hopefully we shall be taking over our Cottage soon.😊

I recently sold my house through Sowerbys in Holt, and they have done me proud! Charlie did a fantastic video which blew me away and Laura got a top bid for me in 10 days. The whole deal went trough in 6 weeks which is a tremendous achievement in these crazy times. All thoroughly and professionally done. Thanks to all in the Holt branch. Lets not forget the great photography and drone work too.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Excellent professional approach from Paul from valuation, marketing and especially the negotiating with 2 bidders for our property. We were very happy with the service that we received. His team were very supportive and a special mention of Zoe, who has supported us and been extremely helpful from when we accepted the offer, right through to completion. She really has smoothed the way through the legal and administrative issues. Best wishes to all the team, Helen and Stephen

Recently bought a house through Sowerbys Holt team. Very friendly and approachable. We particularly appreciated having a dedicated member of staff, Zoe, who worked with us from acceptance of our offer through to completion. This made the communication between us and the seller much easier, as rather than dealing with different people each time we had a query, Zoe had the full picture and always replied promptly and with good advice when needed. Excellent service!PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

Misrepresentation at its worst

We were advised by one of their negotiators to view a house which was 200 miles + from where we live on the understanding that it had architectural merit and charm. At no point during our two phone conversations did the Sowerbys representative mention the words “might benefit from some updating” when the actual sad truth was that the house needed 200k spending on it with, potentially, no positive results at the end of the renovation. I know that estate agents tend to see every property through rose tinted glasses but in this case they would have needed to convince Stevie Wonder that the property had any potential. They are refusing the refund us the cost of our trip as they feel “clients who saw the house had a positive experience”. This statement does not seem to gel with the fact the house has now been on the market three times in the last four years and has still failed to sell. Sow’s ear and silk purse come to mind.

Rachel was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about the area as well as the properties. She went the extra mile which we'd not experienced in talking with other agents. We recommend Sowebys on basis of our experience.

We have just completed a purchase through Sowerbys Holt, and the experience from start to finish has been outstanding. I cannot speak highly enough of the team we dealt with.

After checking their website for opening hours (10 - 1) I tried calling on Friday 27th and Saturday 28th during their publicised opening times and on all 3 occasions the phone went to answerphone. I left a message regards additional information requirements on a property costing £600,000 in the first two messages and, after receiving no response, left a final message indicating that I am no longer interested. Not impressed by this seemingly unprofessional approach and consider myself fortunate that I am not a vendor using this particular company. In answer to the response given by Sowerbys below, no call or voicemail was received by me on 30th December, or any other day come to that. Perhaps whoever posts responses should check that their information is accurate before posting!!

Our sincere apologies for the issues you faced in trying to make contact with us. We were on reduced hours and staff over the Christmas break. We did receive your message and left you a voicemail on the 30th December in an attempt to assist with your enquiry. Please let us know if we can help.

Far and away the best Estate Agent experience I've had to date. The Sowerbys agents are knowledgable, approachable and always ready with prudent advice. Their marketing team did an exceptional job of putting together a brochure for the sale of our house, and both Laura and Paul consistently responsive and reassuring. A well deserved 5 star review from me!

I dealt mainly with Laura who I must say has been very professional and just generally very nice. It's early days yet in our sale but I'm hoping to cross the finish line and I'm confident if there are any hiccups along the way Laura will assist. As someone in the business myself I understand the importance of communication and reassurance of a simple chat over the phone.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

I was absolutely delighted to hear that we had exchanged contracts on our North Norfolk cottage today. We are extremely grateful to Sowerbys of Holt and Laura in particular, who negotiated the sale, which proved to be complicated and protracted. Laura provided tremendous support and great communication and we would not have reached this point without her brilliant commitment and skill. Thank you to the whole team at Sowerbys; you have served us so well. We recommend you unreservedly.
