What a fantastic team at the Little Sutton Branch. From the valuation by Sadie who was so professional and proficient and had such a genuine enthusiasm for the property. Linda was so friendly and helpful with communications regarding viewings and Matt went above and beyond when dealing with the viewings who always gave great feedback. This small review doesn't show how wonderful and friendly this team are however, the fact that the property sold for the full asking price in just a week does. Thanks so much for all of your help, I definitely made the right choice of Estate Agents.PositiveProfessionalism

I am very impressed with the service the staff at this branch have given to me and my family. The professionalism combined with their courtesy and enthusiasm, whilst handling the marketing of my late mothers property, has been impeccable. They have managed to take a stressful situation and make the sale process run smoothly. The staff have kept us informed with regards the viewings and have relayed feedback quickly. I would not hesitate to recommend Sadie and her staff to anyone wishing to sell their property in Little Sutton and wider area.

Great service from the Little Sutton branch! We decided to go with Clive Watkin for the sale of our house because of how personable and professional we felt the service was from the get go! The valuation appointment at our home with Sadie was a level above other estate agents that we had explored. We were kept informed on progress and interest in our property regularly and we sold after 2 weeks! Matt has been great with the negotiations on price for both the sale of our home and purchase. We would 100% recommend these guys.

If you're selling your house, make sure Matt deals with your sale, he was an absolute star in getting our sale over the final few stressful weeks, he remained calm when we getting stressed with our buyer, Matt communcated almost daily, keeping us updated and giving advice, if it wasn't for Matt, our sale would have been a disaster in the making. We can't thank Matt enough for helping us to sell our house , he's an absolute professional!

I would highly recommend using Clive Watkins! From start to finish we had Kirsty help us with the purchase of a property and she was amazing. She was in regular contact with us to resolve issues with both ours and the sellers solicitor, her professionalism was paramount and her steadfast dedication towards selling the house was relentless. If anyone is buying/selling a house this agency is the one to use no complaints at all and once again thank you so much

Its a very rare thing after twenty years in the customer service industry to be left feeling impressed and pleasantly surprised. Chloe strived to help us and was there to deal with my every request and concern in an incredibly stressful and time sensitive situation. She always responded swiftly to me and was always kind, caring and reassuring to all my constant questions and queries and was always willing to deal with me even when my requests were, now in hindsight ,silly and pointless :) I would highly recommend Chloe to help you when you need to move and start life fresh with confidence in a new house/;location. SUPER STAR

If you're considering using Clive Watkin Sales and Letting Agents in the area, I would strongly advise caution. In my experience, their approach to selling houses in the local market left much to be desired. In my view, they tend to overvalue and overprice properties. For instance, they valued a house based on a neighboring property, which is widely regarded in the area as being overpriced. That neighboring house has been on the market for nearly two years without selling, and it happens to be owned by another estate agent. When I inquired if Clive Watkin had obtained a RICS valuation, they were unable to provide one and responded negatively when I questioned their valuation. When I placed an offer on a different property, the agents seemed defensive and insisted on knowing how I arrived at my valuation. This pattern occurred with multiple properties I considered through them. I also got the impression that they were providing information about the sellers and the market that may not have been entirely accurate, creating a sense of urgency that didn't align with the actual market conditions. I felt they misrepresented critical details about properties, such as rights of access. For example, they claimed a house with a shared driveway was private, which they said justified an additional £100,000 on the price. However, after reviewing the deeds myself, I found that the driveway was not private, and only a right of access was granted, not ownership. In another situation, I felt pressured to take financial advice from their in-house mortgage broker to prove I could afford a house. It seemed like they were trying to gather details about my private finances while pushing financial products onto me. This was particularly concerning since the estate agents themselves are not qualified financial professionals. I also encountered an agent trying to sell a house at £100,000 over what I believed to be the market value, citing a "fridge freezer" as a unique feature. In reality, the house required a complete renovation. Other agents I spoke with in the area confirmed that Clive Watkin’s listings are overpriced by a significant margin. After placing an offer on a property and expressing my willingness to negotiate, I never heard back from the agent. Interestingly, that house was later reduced by £30,000 on Rightmove. It made me wonder whether my offer was ever communicated to the seller. If you place a lower offer, don’t expect them to reach out, they might even label you as rude for explaining your reasoning. I’ve observed them listing properties at high prices, even when the houses need significant work. Some properties have remained unsold for nearly 12 months and have seen price reductions of over £40,000. If you prefer to list your house at a high price in a challenging market, Clive Watkin might be an option. Otherwise, I recommend considering an estate agent with more experience and transparency.

I dealt with Matt at the Little Sutton office and his level of communication and helpfulness was outstanding of several months. We had actually sold our house privately and were only part of the chain that involved Clive Watkins and yet Matt went out of his way to be as helpful as possible on every occasion. Many thanks again Matt. The Morrison family.PositiveProfessionalism

Well we going to take a dignified silence with our experience but since cancelling our verbal agreement to let our house out with Clive Watkins, we have experienced a barrage or emails and post, as we we’re obviously put on some sort of data base to hassle us by the agent who visited! The reason as to why we was because after the meet on Thursday evening, by Friday am, phone calls from it at work with pushy requests to sort out the things we had already discussed the night before, worse than. Then Saturday am an email from them outlining the details of contract, which is fine, however, why not tell us during the initial Thursday meeting that we would have to pay them nearly £500 for various searches, tennant contracts etc ? He knew we were new to this, so I don’t understand the lack of transparency with ‘selling’ our info and the extra fees, this made my husband wary of what was to come next and didn’t like being treated as if he was our boss!. He then wanted to argue these facts over the phone when husband mentioned we had changed our minds. Luckily we have a spam email account for stuff like this and anymore post will be pushed through THIER door! What a waste of time.
