Once you've moved in, they really don't care and never respond to any issues you have. We asked many times for a U-Bend under our kitchen sink which was not there when we moved in, so we just had a hole to the side of ...

An awful Leasehold management company, who are not able to send out leasehold agreements in the correct timeline with their own procedures, lack of support and empathy towards leasehold owners, unable to support or maintain shared drive way as part of lease, paying nearly £900 a ...

Hi Jenna, I'm sorry to hear that you have experienced the issues above, but would like to point out that the Agency that your review relates to, are Watsons Property who are based in the Norwich area, and we are Watsons Letting Agents of Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire and completely unrelated to the company in Norwich. You may wish to alter your review with the details of the correct Agency. Many Thanks Gavin Howes Lettings Manager at Watsons Letting Agents ...

As soon as they have your money, they don't really care. Useless at resolving issues, don't even hold keys to all of their properties, lend them to builders/contractors and then require you to be at home in order to let them in for inspections/...

Average fees but the costs do not warrant the service.

Hi Robert, I'm sorry to hear of the issue that you have, but I believe you have left this review against the wrong Agent? We are Watsons Letting Agents and are based in Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire and we are a single office with no other branches. You may possibly live in the Norwich area, as I understand that there is another Agent with the same name in that area? Could I please request you remove this review if possible, and re-post it against the correct Agent . Many Thanks Gavin Ho ...

My family have dealt with Gavin at Watson's for at least 10 years, and have had good quality, professional service from him all that time. We have never had any issues with him; he has found good tenants for us who have remained in the property ...

Outstanding. We were reluctant landlords, enforced through a work move overseas, and seriously debated selling rather than risk rental. But, Gavin, with very able support from Christine, provided us all the reassurance we needed. As protection of our investment was key, we were keen to ...

Good. A standard rate but, contrary to others I have used in other areas, very well worth the money.

I have been dealing with Gavin and the team since 2010 when we rented out our flat. We have had tenants in the property constantly between then and selling the property in March 2015. Everyone we have dealt with from Watsons has always been helpful and dealt ...

We let our property out with Watsons for 4 years in total, and only have good things to say about their service. I could only recommend Watsons to any prospective landlords, and their rates were very reasonable. Professional, courteous and most importantly easy to work with. ...
