“Dear Kirsty, I wanted to write to you with my feedback following the successful sale of my home and onward purchase which you were also selling. The initial valuation from Alistair was professional and photos were taken on the same day and it was live by the following morning. You and your staff were so friendly and helpful throughout the marketing process and through to the negotiation of the sale and purchase. The handling of the transaction was excellent - fantastic communication and support where required. 


I'd like to give a special mention to Clare who managed to get a completion date sorted on my behalf. Had it not been for her we may have still been going through the process! In addition to Clare, I'd like to give you my thanks throughout the process. You're an absolute gem, always bright and cheerful on the phone - a credit to the company. 

I have recommended you to family and friends. Keep up the good work and thanks again.”

“Their portfolio of properties like mine suggested expertise in that field. Alistair's involvement was very professional with a sensible valuation and excellent photographic presentation of the property. Sales staff answered calls efficiently and returned calls when promised. They were consistent, courteous and always helpful. I would highly recommend this firm. My thanks for a very satisfactory service. It will be almost a pleasure to pay your bill!”


"Dear Alistair, I wanted to express my feedback on the way you and your team handled the sale of my home. As you know I was recommended to use your firm and I'm so glad I did. I was very impressed with Ben Pycroft when he came to value my property. He was very respectful, took his time and made me feel confident that I had chosen the right agent to deal with the sale. 

The interaction with office staff during the marketing period was great, and all the staff were very pleasant and friendly at all times. You kept me informed at every stage of negotiations and everything went smoothly, and I never felt concerned, always confident in you and your team. I liked how Ben also kept in touch making sure I was happy with how the sale was going and he called me at completion to wish me luck in my new home. I was very touched that he had taken his time to do so, and all the staff were very good, always friendly, and a pleasure to speak to. 

I would highly recommend Richard Watkinson - moving house can be highly stressful but the staff helped at every stage making me feel confident and at ease. I can't praise them highly enough. A huge thank you to the whole team you have been amazing!"


''Very quick to follow up any queries and keeping us in the loop.”


“Dear Richard, I would like to thank you and your staff for all your professional help and courtesy during the protracted sale of Williams Lane. I did not intend to be a difficult client, but I was most impressed by the unfailing friendliness and efficiency of everyone I dealt with from your office. They, and you, set a very high standard. With kind regards and good wishes.”.


“Hi Amy - Thanks very much - I found you very easy and a pleasure to deal with - thanks for all your help.”


''Always friendly, helpful and professional, the team at the Southwell office work strongly together.  Initially the market was very quiet but under the leadership of Amy I was well-served.  Thankyou''


"We felt immediately at home in the company of Alistair both in the literal and metaphorical senses whilst visiting to value the property and explain the processes inherent within modern day buying and selling. The experience was friendly, professional and met every expectation.  

When contacting the office, we always got the impression that the staff were intimately acquainted with our individual house sale without having to access any files i.e. ever knowledgeable and with fingers on the pulse. Friendly, cheery and with an overwhelming desire to facilitate customer needs as if each property deal was their own. Handling and completion were within the predicted time parameters where updates were conveyed at regular intervals as developments came to light from all concerned parties e.g. buyers, sellers, solicitors etc.  

The choice of RW was initially by recommendation though this was backed by a study of written reviews and further word of mouth testimonies. There are cheaper options on the market and though not necessarily strong advocates of the percent commission system, we are believers in the maxim that 'you get what you pay for.' We were NOT disappointed and feel that the overall, high quality of service matched the level of outlay. We received exemplary service from Kirsty and Tracey within the office but also from Alistair and Ben who tended to be based a little more in the field! Total commitment to excellence and all round professionalism came from all, where nothing was too much trouble and that little personal touch was always evident.  

Recommendations are a no-brainer and we would have absolutely no reservations in advocating the services of the Mansfield branch of RW, as indeed has already been the case with friends and family.  

Many thanks and best wishes."


''Helen was friendly and professional.  Always quick to respond and would chase up and initiate relevant updates''


“We had 3 valuations but chose Richard Watkinson & Partners Mansfield as we thought their website was the best and their fees more competitive. Our initial valuation visit was timely and was conducted by Ben Pycroft. He listened to us and offered his recommendations for marketing. He was the only one who came along prepared, which ultimately led to a quicker production of the sales literature. Interaction with the staff during the marketing period was excellent. We were very pleased when they found us a buyer so quickly after the first viewing! We would particularly like to mention Ben and Kirsty who offered excellent service throughout. Ben's photography was outstanding, we were amazed! We would definitely recommend Richard Watkinson & Partners in the future and hope to use them one day when we downsize. Thank you all for a fantastic service and team effort.”


"We decided to sell our home through Richard Watkinson and Partners after our research showed they sell a high percentage of home like ours. We had Alistair to value who gave very professional and straightforward advice, with well prepared local knowledge of property values. His brochure presentation and photographs were excellent, which enhanced the marketing of our home. During the selling process the staff were helpful and information management was excellent. All staff were fully informed of the situation and reacted accordingly. Kirsty handled the sale very well in difficult circumstances! I have recommended this company to friends and family."


''Everyone I spoke to was very helpful.  The person I had most dealings with was Helen and she was excellent''

''Hi Ben, I just want to say a big thanks to you and the rest of the team on behalf of my mum and I for the hard work plus successful sale of my property at Stanton''


''I have used Richard Watkinson & Partners for 3 moves now and always had excellent service.  I have also recommended them to family and friends as they provide a friendly and efficient service''


“Dear Ben and the Richard Watkinson Mansfield Office

We were immediately impressed by Clare who took my initial call to arrange the valuation. Out of 4 local Estate Agents I spoke to, Clare was the only one who inspired confidence and proved knowledge within her field. The initial valuation by Ben was nothing short of professional and proved his experience in property valuation. Many aspects of our property where we had made small but high standard alterations were immediately identified. He gave me complete confidence that he would make every effort to market our home with upmost effort. His description in addition to the photographs were incredible and attributed in making us excited to place our property on the market. His attention to detail was apparent in every aspect.  

The interaction with the entire team during the marketing period was excellent. Kirsty handled any queries at once without hesitation. She kept me fully informed of any progress without any chasing required. She was easy to speak to and really did make the process of the sale very easy and stress free. Her cheerful approach and competence were greatly received. Again, thank you to Kirsty for her help in handling the sale, she took all the worry out of the negotiations and completion. She kept me informed and up to date on all matters right up until the last minute. She clarified and resolved any concerns I had with the purchaser's solicitors without hesitation.  

I would like to give special mention to Ben and Kirsty, both of whom I truly believe displayed absolute professionalism, proved expert knowledge within their specific roles and gave complete confidence our sale was receiving their full commitment and effort. I credit and thank them both for a quick sale at the asking price.  

In addition, branch staff clearly work as a team and there is good communication which was evident in the whole process. Furthermore, they appear happy within their roles and display professional and knowledgeable conduct.  

I cannot thank the staff at Richard Watkinson enough for the quick sale of our property at the full asking price and their incredible customer service which really was outstanding. Their fee was worth every last penny! I shall recommend this company and have already done so.”


“Dear Kirsty, Alistair and all the team at Richard Watkinson & Partners Mansfield office. 

I'd like to thank you all for the sale of my building land.  Alistair has a first class knowledge of potential buyers in the area, and right from the start he gave me good advice on pricing etc. He always made himself readily available to answer my questions and try different approaches. I valued his expertise and enthusiasm, and I'd say that his knowledge of selling land is second to none in the area. Kirsty was equally excellent to deal with, and her tireless communication with potential buyers and my lawyer was very much appreciated. She chased up on everything, and a happy completion of sale was the result of her attention to detail and quick responses. I was very impressed and trusted she would do the best for me. All the other members of staff in the office were friendly, accommodating and efficient.  

All in all, a winning team. I would have no hesitation in highly recommending Watkinson's Mansfield to everyone. It was a good experience with a successful outcome. In my opinion they are definitely the best agent in the area.”


“Dear Alistair, 

I would like to pass on my sincere thanks to your team for the way in which they have handled this transaction. Throughout the process they have been very efficient, approachable, friendly and have gone out of their way to keep me updated and respond to questions or issues raised.  

In comparison to the agents who handled our recent sale, I can say that my experience with Richard Watkinson has been much more positive. Indeed if I had been the seller I could not have asked for a better service than I have experienced as the buyer and would like to think that if I was selling this was the manner in which my agents handled the sale. I would not hesitate in using your agency in the future or in recommending you to anyone else.  

I would particularly wish to bring to your attention the excellent customer service provided by your office manager Kirsty Morley. Kirsty has kept me fully informed throughout, gained answers to questions made of the seller very efficiently and maintained the impetus with both legal agents encouraging them the complete the transaction as soon as reasonably possible. She has been brilliant and I could not have asked for more - especially considering I was the purchaser not the seller!”


“To Alistair, Tracey and the team. Just a note to say a big thank you for finding a lovely house for us. All your time and efforts are much appreciated.”


“To Alistair and all the staff at the Mansfield office. 

We would like to say a big thank you to you all for helping us with our house sale and purchase. Everyone was so helpful and dealt with everything in a very professional way. You were friendly and helpful and we will certainly recommend you to friends and family. We have settled in to our new bungalow and we absolutely love it!”


''Everyone I spoke to was very helpful.  The person I had most dealings with was Helen and she was excellent''


''Well what a journey!! We would never have made it without you and especially Jo, she held everything together, kept us informed and made sure everybody else was doing what they were supposed to. Jo chased solicitors, paralegals, other estate agents, found out where surveys were and what needed doing, she was fantastic and went above and beyond her duties and we are so grateful to her for that. Our house sale and purchase was especially complicated through no fault of ours but Jo was so reassuring and so kind she made it all the easier. The whole team at RW Radcliffe are so professional and knowledgeable I will be forever thankful we chose them to manage the sale of our house. We are now settled and very happy in our new home, thank you.''


“Dear Alistair and all the team, 

Many thanks for your work in the sale of the bungalow. The interaction with you all was very good throughout the marketing period, combined with a smooth sales transaction through to completion. I'd like to give a special mention to Clare who kept in touch with regular updates throughout the selling process. We will certainly recommend Richard Watkinson and Partners to family and friends.”


“The Mansfield staff worked tirelessly during the marketing period and on the same day that our house went on the market, we were getting communications & appointment arrangements from them. We felt that everyone in the office were doing their utmost to help us achieve a sale. We were impressed with the appointment confirmation texts which clarified the information we were given over the telephone by the office staff. All areas, from the first telephone call we made requesting a valuation, through to completion, have been undertaken in a friendly yet professional way by everyone at the Mansfield branch. We have already made recommendations to friends and family based on our own experience, and will continue to do so in the future.”


“Dear Alistair and all the team  

We would like to say how pleased we were with the service you and your team offered during the sale of our home. We will have no hesitation recommending your firm and, should we be looking to sell in the future we will come back to you.”


''It was a hard time for me as selling my late fathers property.  Helen and the team were amazing, very considerate and I would definitely recommend them!''


“Dear Alistair, I have found your email online and would like to comment on the service I have received from Ben Pycroft during the sale of my property. 

 I first used your firm just over 2 years ago when purchasing the property. From the experience, I received from Ben then during the purchase process, when it came to selling the property I decided to use you for the sale. I had several other Mansfield estate agents come to value the property all of whom didn't seem as professional and knowledgeable as Ben. I then approached Ben regarding going ahead with the sale which I found the experience very efficient with photos of the property been arranged for the following week. The whole viewing process of the property I also found very well organised with viewings been done by members of your team. From the third viewing done by Ben I received an offer which I wasn't expecting. I do believe if it wasn't for Ben, I wouldn't have achieved the sale price I did. From the day the offer was made, I have been kept up to date with any updates regarding the sale which is something I appreciate. With me not being able to get to the property as frequently as I'd like living away from the area, Ben offered to do the meter readings for me on completion which was another worry taken away. 

I can genuinely say I believe the service I have received from Ben has gone above and beyond my expectations as something I thought was going to be a very stressful and overwhelming process has been made so easy and hassle free. I would just like to say a massive thank you to Ben and give him the credit he deserves for doing such a brilliant job, he truly is a credit to your business.”


''Cannot recommend Richard Watkinson at Southwell enough - Amy Tillson and Helen Woodhouse are an amazing team, nothing was too much trouble''


“Dear Kirsty and Ben, excellent work from the outset. Ben's valuation proved to be spot on and the sale by Kirsty negotiated professionally and without a hitch. Communication throughout was exceptional. Kirsty proved to be an incredibly important anchor person. She was a delight to deal with - clear, concise and charming.  Communication was great, I was always informed and felt part of the process in spite of being over 200 miles away. 5* service throughout.”
