We wish to acknowledge the assistance of all the team at Watson’s in Holt gave myself and my wife in marketing, selling and assistance in supporting the sale process of our property in Weybourne. This must have been more than there usual property sales service as we do not live locally (at least 2 hours away) and our property was empty. What was particularly important is that he Winter was extremely cold earlier this year and the staff took turns in monitoring the heating in the property to ensure no burst pipes.We must thank them all for their diligence.H & G More...

Holt has many estate agents to choose from and I shopped around. I settled with Watsons and was glad to have done so. They were most helpful, courteous, not too pushy, but firm when they needed to be. Excellent service. I am not a relative or friend of the business but I do think it is worth giving good reviews where due. Thank you Watsons. More...

I purchased a property being sold via Watsons, it was a very simple purchase with no complications, chains etc so I had minimal dealings with them, but on the rare occasions I needed to be in touch they were responsive, knowledgeable, helpful and polite.

RICS Home Survey Level 1
This service is designed for clients (buyers, sellers, and owners) seeking a professional and objective report on the condition of their property at an economic price. As a result, an RICS Home Survey Level 1 is less comprehensive than a Level 2 or Level 3. This level includes a visual inspection: https://www.watsons-property.co.uk/valuation-survey/survey-services/rics-home-survey-level-1/
RICS Home Survey Level 2
This service is for clients who are seeking a professional opinion at an economic price. It is, therefore, less comprehensive than a Home Survey Level 3 service. The report assesses the general condition of the main interior and exterior elements of a property: https://www.watsons-property.co.uk/valuation-survey/survey-services/rics-home-survey-level-2/
RICS Home Survey Level 3
This report consists of a detailed visual inspection of the building, its services and the grounds and is more extensive than a Home Survey Level 2. By evaluating the property for any potential defects, their probable cause, and assessing the necessity for repairs: https://www.watsons-property.co.uk/valuation-survey/survey-services/rics-home-survey-level-3/
Watsons Bespoke Survey
Our bespoke survey is tailored to meet your precise needs. The report is just like an RICS Home Survey Level 3 but is presented as a free-text report with photographs. This bespoke report is especially useful for older or larger properties. This is our most in-depth report: https://www.watsons-property.co.uk/valuation-survey/survey-services/watsons-bespoke-survey/
Lease Extension Valuation
A lease is your right to use a property for a specified period of time. As your lease gets shorter, the value of your property decreases and it can become difficult to mortgage or sell on. Extending a lease by the statutory path or negotiation can be a lengthy process - it pays to seek advice early: https://www.watsons-property.co.uk/valuation-survey/valuation-services/leasehold-extension-valuation/
Shared Ownership Valuation
Shared ownership valuations are required if a customer has bought a home using a shared ownership scheme and later wishes to sell the property or purchase more shares in it. Help to Buy is one example of such a scheme as well as Shared Ownership Right to Buy: https://www.watsons-property.co.uk/valuation-survey/valuation-services/shared-ownership-valuation/
