“I founded Richard Watkinson & Partners in 1988 with just three members of staff in a small office on North Gate, Newark.
A lot has changed since then - today, we have more than 30 dedicated team members and six offices across the East Midlands, along with specialist lettings, new homes, and commercial departments.
But the values we started with have never changed: exceptional customer service, a personal approach, and a deep understanding of the local market.
Estate agency is, and always will be, a people business.
All of our valuers live locally and are proud to offer genuine local knowledge and honest advice.
I’m proud that we remain a local, family-run business, always putting our customers first and continuing to serve our communities with integrity and care.”
