Starkings & Watson

Starkings & Watson, hybrid estate agency in Norfolk and Suffolk

Starkings & Watson presents itself as the largest hybrid estate agency in Norfolk and Suffolk. Its model combines traditional and online marketing, supported by a centralised hub located just outside Norwich and hyper-local offices distributed across its coverage area. The company states it is regulated by The Property Ombudsman and operates as a fully licensed estate agency.

Property sales

The sales activity is aimed at homeowners who want to put their property on the market. The agency offers property valuations, including an instant online valuation, and lists properties on the main property portals and its social platforms. Among the marketing tools it declares to use are floor plans, professional photographs and video tours of the homes.

The catalogue of properties for sale shown on the site includes examples in locations such as Hepworth (Diss), Wymondham, Norwich, Eye and Costessey, with guide prices ranging from £125,000 to over £575,000. Each listing indicates the number of bedrooms, bathrooms and reception rooms, and allows booking a viewing.

Lettings and property management

The company also handles lettings and property management, a service it presents under the slogan of protecting the landlord's investment. This area is aimed at both tenants and landlords, with specific information sections for each group.

Services for sellers and buyers

For sellers, the agency offers an in-person or instant online valuation, a photo-ready service for the property and support for new home developers. For buyers, it facilitates searching for properties for sale and joining a mailing list. Sellers have an online property file through the Street app, with tracking of the progress of the transaction, and the agency has a dedicated sales progression team that supports the process through to exchange and completion.

Coverage and structure

The stated coverage spans Norfolk and Suffolk, with hyper-local offices in Brundall, Bungay, Costessey, Diss, Poringland, Wymondham and Loddon. The centralised hub and head office is located in Poringland, on the outskirts of Norwich. The company maintains a call tracking platform to ensure all calls are answered or returned, and publishes corporate information on its complaints procedure and careers.
