GoogleFrom the very first valuation with Shaun to the sale and exchange of contracts on my property and Janet following everything up I would definitely recommend Starkings & Watson Estate agents. These where by far the best estate agents I have used.They even recommend a great solicitor and all working together. A very big thank you to the whole team.

GoogleA year late (sorry!) but my partner and I wanted to share our positive experience with Stephen at Starkings & Watson. We were traveling a couple of hundred miles each time to view houses in the Norwich area, and after some difficulties seeing places that fit our spec with other companies - and getting appointments at all - Stephen at S&W helped us to find, view, and then purchase our home, which we are still absolutely loving 12 months later.
Thank you, we could not have done it without your help!

GoogleI wish I could give negative stars as this well and truly warrants it. Guy is your typical estate agent. Messes people around and is absolutely useless. The breed of estate agents who give the rest of the industry a bad name is embodied by Guy and his actions.
If you are a seller do not use this agency, go to someone else in the area , there are many out there who will do a far better job. The process will be simpler, quicker and cheaper most likely.
If you are a buyer then beware as you will be messed around from start to finish and the whole process just isn't worth it.
Guy refuses to put offers to vendors even though it is a legal requirement because he wont make enough commission, plays games with all parties and lies to get the result he wants.
I cannot express the words I want on here about this agency and Guy specifically, but all I can say is this is up there with all the other slimy lying estate agents that have the same reputation and for good reason.
AVOID, AVOID, AVOID!!!!!

Dear James, we are very grateful for your review and understand that this process has proved most frustrating for you. Our client, upon receiving offers from all interested parties, decided to accept a markedly higher offer from a full cash buyer (proof of funds seen). Please be assured your offer was very seriously considered but sadly wasn’t the one chosen by our client. We are sorry that this didn't go your way on this occasion.

GoogleI would highly recommend Toby and his brilliant, extremely professional team if you are debating who to sell with and if you also happen to be buying with them then you are doubly lucky. They dispel all the usual myths and cliches about estate agents! They were a pleasure to deal with from the moment I made first contact, at every house visit I was met by one of the senior team but allowed to look round at my own pace, and they did the same for viewings at my house. The usual stress and emotions that run alongside moving home were dealt with sensitively and practically and with good humour. They also went the extra mile investigating and resolving some tricky issues that arose. Thank you to Toby, Guy Freddie and Trudy. Dream team.

GoogleAll of the team at the Mid Sussex branch in Lindfield were warm, friendly and professional throughout the process of selling our property. They were available around the clock to help support, making it as stress free as possible and always went the extra mile. I would highly recommend getting in contact with the team whether selling or buying.
A special thank you to Freddie, who kept me well informed at every stage of the sale.

GoogleI knew I found what I was looking for in an Estate Agency when I first met the amazing team (including Crumble!) at the Lindfield office. From day one it was a joy to experience the friendly, caring, fun and very efficient way in which the quick and successful sale of my home of 52 years was managed.
I cannot recommend the whole team enough, Freddie especially, who dealt in a professional and sensitive manner the large number of viewings which led to a fabulous outcome and was a very happy experience for me. Thank you all so much!

GoogleI'm editing my existing review after our successful sale with them.
I can confirm the great service they provide.
Not only they were able to find a buyer and secure an offer in a very short time but they also provided a top notch communication and service during the period leading to contact exchange.
This was absolutely important given how stressful this period can be and they were really effective in chasing solicitors to give an up to date picture of the chain progression.
I want to thank in particular Sarah Short for her efforts during the period leading to the exchange of contracts.
But also Sam and his sales team were amazing.
Absolutely recommended

GoogleNothing but praise for Toby, Guy and the team. Absolute first rate service from initial valuation of our house, managing (a sometimes tumultuous!) sales process, through to a successful completion. Ours was far from a straightforward sale due to a number of odd covenants in out title deed. However, Toby didn't miss a beat in helping us to navigate these complexities. Heartily recommended.
