Howards Estate and Lettings Agents

Howards, estate and letting agents in Norfolk and North Suffolk

Howards is an estate and letting agency founded in 1926 that operates in Norfolk and North Suffolk. The company presents itself as one of the leading agencies in the area and states that every year it helps thousands of people to buy, sell, let or rent their home. Its approach is based on offering straightforward, down-to-earth advice and guidance to make the whole property process easier.

Branches in five locations

The company has offices in Beccles, Gorleston, Great Yarmouth, Lowestoft and Long Stratton. These branches cover both sales and lettings activity, and property listings are displayed jointly for all the agency's offices.

Services for buyers, sellers and tenants

Howards offers property sales and lettings services. For owners who want to sell, the agency has its own marketing tool called FLINK, described as a bespoke system that targets promotion at buyers interested in similar properties, with the aim of increasing the likelihood that they will arrange a viewing and make an offer. It also offers a free, no-obligation valuation to find out the real value of a home, and a property alerts service for newly listed properties.

For those looking to rent, the agency maintains up-to-date listings of rental properties across all its branches. Similarly, buyers can browse properties for sale from all the offices.

Mortgage advice with Just Mortgages

Howards introduces its clients to Just Mortgages, a firm that provides mortgage services. A Just Mortgages adviser can support the client throughout the home buying, moving or remortgage process to guide them and help them receive the right advice and guidance. Just Mortgages is a trading name of Just Mortgages Direct Limited, an appointed representative of The Openwork Partnership, authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

Informative content on the market and housing

The agency publishes articles on its blog with information and analysis to support decision-making. Topics covered include the emotional challenges of downsizing, the pros and cons of renting versus buying after retirement, and the reaction to the 2025 Autumn Budget Statement, written by Paul Smith, chairman and founder of what they describe as the UK's largest independent estate agency.
