Here’s what our customers say…

“Having recently dealt with Waterside estate agents I’d like to share my experience. From start to finish Callum, especially was incredibly informative and great fun to deal with, even on a rainy day house viewing. The team kept me in the loop at every juncture. I highly recommend Waterside as the whole experience was smooth sailing, (no pun intended). Thank you all.”

Mr Nichols

“Many thanks to Philip, Joy and Callum for all their help for the sale of a waterside property in a difficult market. Excellent knowledge of this specific market is essential. They are very efficient, knowledgeable, patient and skilled in what they do. The waterside properties are individual, characterful and provide a lovely peaceful lifestyle and I would thoroughly recommend the purchase of a waterside property via Waterside Estate Agents.”

, Mrs Devonshire

“Great service from start to finish . Nothing was ever too much trouble from arranging viewings to surveys etc . I’d highly recommend to anybody looking to buy as they made the whole process as easy as possible . Thank you Philip and Callum 10/10 👍”

Mr Chamberlayne

“I felt that Philip and his team were very polite and professional. I have always found their brochures and marketing to be noticeably more eye catching because of their excellent photography and it's often those enticing photos that draw you in and compel you to go and view.”

Mr Bowler

“Philip is very experienced in the sale of residential property and is able to give sound advice at every turn. The whole team is patient, efficient and respond promptly as issues arise. I would definitely use them again. ”

Mr Alcraft

“The estate agent dealing with our purchase was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, honest and most importantly, available. When exchange was delayed he was tenacious in chasing the conveyancers and excellent at keeping us updated. Equally, if he was out of the office, others in the office seemed to know the idiosyncrasies of our house purchase too. We are very grateful for the professionalism and care of the team”

Ms Whiting

“Positive, very polite and helpful. Did what they said they would and got on with it. Good advice and recommended good local solicitor who also just got on with the job. Would definitely use again.”

Mr Lawrence

“Our experience with Waterside Agency was excellent and we can’t recommend you highly enough! Callum went over and above his call of duty, even to the extent of explaining the complicated jargon used by Solicitors! His communication with us was superb, keeping us updated every step of the way. We really appreciate the friendly, helpful and very professional service, which all of your team provided. You all deserve 10 stars!! Thank you! ”

Ms Emtage

“These estate agents are excellent. From the original viewing with Callum through to handing over the keys. Just a matter of weeks and all sorted. Looking forward to our little holiday home on the broads. Was kept updated from Philip/Callum every step of the way. Would thoroughly recommend. Five star service. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”

Ms Dobbs

“The agent we dealt with was Callum, who was always very professional, courteous, and nothing was too much trouble for him or the team. Even when the sellers solicitor was being a bit of a problem Callum was always very reassuring and would be on the ball trying to get things sorted ( didn’t really help the seller was abroad ). But thanks to Waterside everything turned out fine, and we would recommend them in a heart beat. ”
