Paul Watts were super helpful on the purchase of our property. Being first time buyers we were very naïve to the process, but thankfully everyone at Paul Watts were both very patient and supportive to help us through what would normally be a very stressful life milestone ! Both Karen and Margaret had excellent communication skills keeping us updated along the way via emails and phone calls, they went above and beyond to make sure our purchase was a smooth transaction and even gave us a lovely bottle of bubbly to enjoy when we collected the keys. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Paul Watts estate agents to those looking for a much more personable experience of buying or selling a home. Many thanks again to the brilliant team.

I can't express enough how good they are, especially Margaret. It was so comforting that I knew I could call them, when I had any doubt or problem about our sale or purchase, and they would give me the best advise based on their big experience.

So it was an automatic choice for us on our maisonette at southbourne -they are old school and follow through on everything they do and its refreshing to get feedback on viewings ,research on the potential buyers before an offer is presented and knowing that your sale is in good hands Our solicitor commented on just how fantastic Margaret was At the same time we sold our house in Kettering and the comparison with the estate agent there is like two extremes -the kettering agency was terse,didnt really bother after the offer was accepted and created a lot of problems by NOT following through and keeping an eye on the ball 10/10" Selling 4 bedroom maisonette in Southbourne Bournemouth

The viewing went well, Penny left us to walk around at our own pace and take everything in. At one point there was a little confusion around the length of time that the sellers had been at the address but this was very quickly cleared up. Penny was particularly understanding and helpful in keeping the sale moving when we encountered a couple of issues as we neared the exchange of contracts. Overall, an enjoyable experience, thank you Penny and Margaret!" (Buyers of a 3 bedroom detached house in Charminster, Bournemouth)
"Due to a bereavement, I found myself in a position where 2 properties required selling simultaneously but with different estate agents. There was absolutely no similarity in service. Margaret and her team were exactly what you want an estate agent to be. They all were personally invested in selling this property and the story behind it. They matched perfect professionalism with a warm, friendly and practical approach. Imagine going through the stress of selling a house with a bunch of friends who know exactly what they’re doing. There’s not a shiny cuff link or whiff of fancy hair product in sight - just lovely, genuine people who also happen to know their stuff. Thank you ladies!" (Seller of 1 bed house in Muscliff)
"The whole team were great throughout the whole process - they were proactive and kept us informed at all stages up to completion. They provided support before we went on the market advising us the best way to present the property and for minor works that would improve the chances of getting the price we wanted - we achieved slightly more than we originally thought we would get. The whole team got to know the property and so they were all able to talk about it confidently with prospective buyers. When our first buyers pulled out they were proactive in contacting the other interested parties and getting another offer almost immediately. They managed our expectations well, in terms of price and also timings for the different stages of the process. They kept in touch with solicitors up and down the chain and were able to "prompt" where necessary. They are a small local firm who know the local market and effectively positioned the sales particulars to the relevant target audience. There was no high pressure selling - just straightforward, honest advice and guidance. Would thoroughly recommend them - couldn't have wished for a better experience."

My initial contact was very positive with an obvious good knowledge of the local property market and sensible Valuation. They were very upfront about fees (1% including VAT) and not at all pushy. I had no hesitation in choosing them to sell the house and Margaret Annable gave me some very good advice about the extent of redecoration that would be required before putting the house on the market. We received an offer for the full asking price the day after it went on the market. Paul Watts were extremely helpful delivering documents to the solicitor as I live several hours drive away and managed to complete the sale 3 weeks after the offer. All in all, a very positive experience for me, Thank You." (Seller of 2 bedroom house in Charminster, Bournemouth)

The property that we sold was originally bought through the same agent so we knew they had experience of selling a mixed use property. We have had dealings with the agent over many years for valuations etc. Knowing them as we did and knowing them to have a excellent reputation in the area we had no hesitation in using them again. Their approach and handling was professional and friendly throughout. Having been established in the area for as long as they have means their knowledge of prices and amenities is vast. I have no hesitation in recommending them." (Sale of business/residential premises in Charminster, Bournemouth)

After everything was accepted we dealt with Margaret and she kept us informed at all stages of the purchase. Great communication and service. Would highly recommend. Thanks again (Buyers of 2 bedroom bungalow in Queens Park, Bournemouth)
"Superb from start to finish. They worked very much as a team, all the staff knew the details of our sale whenever we contacted them. They were informative, supportive and completely unbiased: several years ago, they valued our property, and, hearing our circumstances, suggested we keep the flat in our possession. With this in mind, we later approached them to sell the property, and through a very difficult process, including a lease extension and lengthy repairs, they have been as patient and helpful as they were when we first spoke to them five years before. I don't know the standard of other estate agents in Bournemouth, but if anyone else comes close I'd be amazed. Thank you Karen, Margaret and Leigh."

After living in a property for 17 years sometimes, the obvious is not always obvious. We found what they advised very constructive. We used the company to sell our house, as we bought it through them 17 years ago. We had a very good relationship with Margaret who we found to always be helpful and honest. We found her to be very calm and considerate in what can sometimes become a very stressful time. We would highly recommend Paul Watts and would definitely use them in the future should we move again." "Sellers of 3 Bedroom House Queens Park"

I would recommend them. " Detached Bungalow in Bournemouth

" The whole experience of dealing with Paul Watts was excellent from start to finish, nothing was to much trouble for them, and they went beyond the call of duty to make everything as simple and easy in selling the property possible " (Sale of a one bedroom flat in Charminster, Bournemouth)
" I am thoroughly impressed with the service I received from Paul Watts of Bournemouth. They helped negotiate effectively with a very difficult buyer in a very diplomatic manner. They helped maintain the property when it was vacant and found tradesmen on my behalf when needed. Overall, I recommend their services to anyone thinking of selling in the Charminster, Queen's Park and Throop areas of Bournemouth.
Margaret and the team have been wonderful to my brother & I when we asked them to sell our late dad's house which had been in the family for 50 years!! She met with my brother the day after our dad passed away and was so considerate and mindful of the situation. Nothing was ever too much trouble, including the daft e-mails I sent from Brittany! They made a very difficult time for us bearable and as dad hadn't made a will kept on top of the situation with e-mails and phone calls to our solicitors. Would recommend (actually have already!!) Paul Watts to anyone. Sale of a 4 bedroom house in Charminster, Bournemouth
" We found Margaret and her team helpful and professional throughout the process. They kept us informed of developments at all times. As we do not live locally, they helped to arrange things which you would not necessarily think were part of their remit. We are very pleased that we chose to use Paul Watts to sell our property. Their approach to things helped to dispel some of the prejudices about estate agents that we may have held beforehand. We would recommend them to anyone looking to sell a property. "
" Everything was fine with the estate agents from start to finish keeping us up to date and promptly returning any calls etc "
" Very Happy "
"A pleasure to deal with. From the ease of arranging viewings at convenient times, to the constructive approach to price negotiations, Paul Watts were responsive and easy to contact throughout the process. They made the purchase of the property a much less stressful experience than it would otherwise have been, and we would thoroughly recommend them based on our experience." (Buyers of a 3 bedroom bungalow in Queens Park)
I found the staff at Paul Watts charming and very helpful. Their valuation was spot on, the sales staff were not pushie as some estate agents appear to be. The staff were very patient to get the price acceptable to myself. I am going to take them a big bunch of flowers next time in Bournemouth.

I would highly recommend Paul Watts to any potential buyer/seller. " (Purchase of 4 bedroom detached house in Queens Park)
" Highly professional ,friendly, informative and reliable service provided. Penny and Margaret went above and beyond expectations to help secure my house sale. They kept me well informed, were understanding of challenges I had to face and very patient when I was finding things tough, having lost the house I originally put an offer in for. (Through no fault of theirs.) I am extremely grateful to both for helping secure the purchase of a house I am going to be very happy in, and the sale of my home for 18 years. I will definitely be recommending Paul Watts to friends and relatives. " (Vendor of a 3 bedroom house in Charminster)
" Very good service." (Buyer of 4 bedroom house in Queens Park)
" Me and my husband found Paul Watts was a fantastic agent to buy our first property through. They made our whole experience of purchasing our first home non stressful and enjoyable. Any queries we had would be answered almost immediately and they went out their way to find out any information we asked, they would even chase up our solicitors when we needed extra information taking any stress off our shoulders to do the chasing. The agents where always on hand to take us back to the property as many times as we needed. Once we completed on our property Paul Watts still kept in touch to ensure we was happy with everything and even handed us our keys with a lovely gift of cakes for our little girl and wine for ourselves. Overall we couldn't have bought through a better agent and we are now very happy in our first home. " (Buyers of a 3 bedroom end terraced house in Throop)
"Margaret is so knowledgeable and professional and was not pushy at all. She explained the terms and what her honest appraisal of the property was. She kept us informed throughout and acted swiftly to get more viewings when our buyers pulled out. She negotiated well for both parties to resolve issues." (Sale of 4 bedroom detached house in Queens Park)
" Very good experience. Knowledgeable, friendly agents, far better than the firm we had selling for us. Very willing to get questions answered by the buyers rather than having a long rigmarole through solicitors. Gave us a bottle of champagne as well, which was most unexpected (and our EA didn't do that either!). " (Purchase of 2 bedroom Bungalow in Charminster)
" We have nothing but praise for Margaret and her team at Paul Watts. They were friendly and professional throughout, very quick to respond to any questions, gave excellent advice, produced accurate sales particulars with appealing photographs and found us a buyer very very quickly. There were quite long delays in the sales process due to solicitors' apparent reluctance to bring things to a conclusion but Margaret was superb at communicating with all parties and helping to smoothe things over when it was getting a bit fraught! Absolutely 5-star service and very good value. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to buyers and sellers and felt that we couldn't have made a better choice. " (Sale of 3 Bedroom Maisonette in Charminster)
" Margaret was extremely helpful through the whole process! Would highly recommend her. " (Purchase of 3 bed detached house in Southbourne)
" The photographs were taken very professionally. Margaret was aware of little touches like moving a dishcloth and straightening bath towels so that the property was shown at its best. It was priced correctly and sold within 5 days. Margaret offered additional touches when there were last minute viewings such as switching on lamps, and amusing children that were accompanying the viewings so that adults could look round in peace. Communication was EXCELLENT. I was aware of the position of each link in the chain. I never had to contact them to ask questions - the information was always given before I needed to. This is an agency that is not afraid of rattling the cages of solicitors and other agents so that things get moving and stay moving. So many of the big chains tend to put effort into agreeing the sale and then they don't want to do anything else except collect their money. Paul Watts are not like that. They earn their commission and deserve it." (Sale of detached house needing updating in Southbourne)
" As executors of my mother's estate my husband and I had to sell her property. Living a great distance away in Norfolk was potentially difficult to oversee. Margaret took everything off our hands and the whole process was fantastic.Totally pain free! After taking 4 years to sell our own house recently and experiencing the worst examples of estate agents practices, this company totally restored our faith in the profession! Well done. " (Sale of 1 bedroom flat in Queens Park - over 55 years occupancy only).
" Very helpful, good communication between seller and all members of staff. A lovely feeling every time you went into the office. Very professional in all approaches. " (Sale of 3 bedroom bungalow in Charminster)
"Excellent service throughout the process: knowledgeable, professional and friendly. I would thoroughly recommend Paul Watts as an estate agent in future. " (Buyers of 4 bedroom detached house in Queens Park, Bournemouth)
" The agent was helpful and supportive throughout the time that the property was on the market and kept me informed of any developments. They weren't at all pushy (which I liked)but were ready to make suggestions in terms of price reduction when we were ready. " (Sale of a one bedroom flat in Charminster)
I sold my property with Paul Watts. Margaret and Penny were very helpful and friendly they kept me informed all the way. They are very professional in their work. My sale went smoothly and quickly thanks to Margaret and Penny being on the ball and doing what you expect from a estate agent. They found me the best price and their fees are vey good. I highly recommend this estate agent and I will be using them again. (Sale of 3 bedroom semi detached on Throop Estate, Bournemouth)

The firm were a delight to work with giving feedback throughout the process. The team also stayed in contact on a regular basis up to completion updating on progress (Sale of a large detached house in Queens Park, Bournemouth)
" Having lived in the Queen's Park/Charminster area of Bournemouth for 12+ years we felt that Paul Watts was the most active and successful agent in the area. And having used them in the Spring/Summer of 2015 we have no hesitation in recommending them. They were highly professional in all aspects of the sale, especially managing back to back viewings to make efficient use of everyone's time. Valuable and relevant advice was given at every stage. Negotiations concerning the selling price were expertly handled. In fact we had 3 offers at asking price within 3 weeks of going on the market and, with the agent checking progress almost daily, the sale was completed in just 3 months. Weighing everything up, we think that the service from Paul Watts is exceptional and represents excellent value for money. " (Sale of 4 bedroom chalet in Queens Park, Bournemouth)
" A good company,far better than we had the misfortune to deal within the past, and certainly better than the one we are currently dealing with to purchase our next property. Why cant all agents be honest and straight forward like this one,Margaret and her team show how easy and simple good companies can make the process, one of the few companies that dont deserve the poor reputation this industry have brought upon itself. Thanks Margaret and team " (Sale of 3 bedroom property in Queens Park, Bournemouth)
" We were very happy with Margaret, she answered all our questions and if she didn't know she got straight back to the vendor to find out and then got back to us. We have not used the company before but would so in the future. The sell went through very easily with no big issues and overall we could not complain about anything from the agent. The only thing we were disappointed in was the fact the seller left us really no information about the property at all and even to day we are still trying to find where the front lights are connected! But that is not the agents fault. Overall a very calm professional experience. " (Purchase of 4 bedroom chalet in Queens Park, Bournemouth)

" Paul Watts Estate Agents was the firm chosen (out of 3 contacted) as they had the most personal approach and showed understanding of the fact the sale would be stressful for my elderly mother who had lived in the property for more than 50 years. Excellent service - thank you. Survey completed on behalf of mother. " (Sale of 4 bed detached house, Queens Park, Bournemouth)

Now that the dust is beginning to settle and the boxes are diminishing, wanted to take an opportunity of thanking you for all of your work in selling our property. H.... and I are very grateful for your perseverance and dedication in achieving our sale and then pushing to ensure a completion. In such times a key factor is keeping the Vendor informed. You always did this without fail and we are very grateful. We would always recommend Paul Watts for not only getting the job done, but getting it done properly and professionally. Many thanks.

" I had used the firm before when purchasing the property. I was so pleased with the way the staff dealt with the buying that I had no hesitation in using the same firm to sell the property. I have not been disappointed in any way. The staff kept me informed with all the feed backs, positive and negative Which I found very helpful. I would not hesitate to recommend Paul Watts as a very good estate agent. " (Sale of 4 bedroom chalet bungalow on Castle Lane, Bournemouth)
" We have bought and sold through Paul Watts in the past and were more than happy to do so again. The Director, Margaret, did more than 'go the final mile' to help us achieve our goal. She showed a highly professional yet personalised approach. Ours was a sale occurring over more than a year and she never faltered in being helpful and supportive. Margaret even helped the seller, an elderly gent, to arrange a cleaner to prepare his house for us to move in to. Thoroughly recommended. " (Sale and purchase, 4 bed houses in Queens Park, Bournemouth)
I could not thank you enough, not just for your wonderfully efficient professional attitude, but for all your support and advice given to me during the sale of your house. A huge thank you to Margaret and Team! (Sale of 3 bedroom house in Queens Park)
Margaret and her team offer a first class service where nothing is too much trouble. They go over and above the call of duty to ensure that both the Buyers and the Sellers feel welcomed and well cared for. We would highly recommend using Paul Watts Estate Agents if you are looking for excellent information and advice in the property market. " (Sale of 4 bedroom house in Charminster, Bournemouth)
This agent was always professional and respectful of both us and potential buyers in the way they behaved, being unpushy and not manipulative in any way. They always gave objective, honest advice and acted in an ethical manner. When we had to negotiate on price with our buyer, they were supportive and helpful, while being honest and fair with our buyer. They evoked complete confidence and trust, provided a human touch and were caring, never giving the impression that they were just after their fee. We had a very difficult purchase process that fell through which they went beyond the call of duty to support us in. They even sorted us out somewhere to live temporarily and lent us curtains (a property they were marketing) while we looked for somewhere else to buy. We would not hesitate in recommending them to others and have only heard good things from others that have had contact with them. (Sale of 3 bedroom house in Charminster)
This is the 3rd time I have used Paul Watts and as expected they gave a super service throughout (Sale of 4 bedroom house in Queens Park)

"Thoroughly satisfied" (Buyers of 4 bedroom house in Queens Park, Bournemouth)
★★★★★ Its not every day you find a friendly and efficient estate agent but I can honestly say that if you're looking to buy or sell you should pop into their office. Having worked alongside Margaret and her team in a professional capacity for a number of years I have utilised their services numerous times and never had a bad word to say.
Excellent personal service from first contact. Understood our property and saw its attractions whereas agents from larger organisations were far more corporate and far less engaging. Kept in touch and were very happy to pick up and resolve minor issues without any problem. Would highly recommend them as THE agent to choose in their locality. " (3 bedroom chalet bungalow in Queens Park, Bournemouth)
We would wholeheartedly recommend you and your team to anyone, your service has been immaculate and it has been an absolute pleasure to work with you. (Sale of modern 3 bedroom house in Queens Park, Bournemouth)
Very professional and friendly team. Nice to work with an agency which specialises in one area - and where you have a single point of contact throughout. (3 bedroom chalet in Queens Park, Bournemouth)
I feel that Margaret was spot on with the asking price that I should market the property at, as I had three offers with the first three viewings, accepting the full asking price offer. Will definitely use their services again in the foreseeable future. (4 bedroom detached house in Queens Park, Bournemouth)
Paul Watts are the utmost professionals, they work as a team and are always positive and find workable solutions whenever there is a problem in the process of selling. They are a pleasure to deal with, and there was no shortage of viewings and all excellent potential buyers. They know and understand the role of a really good Estate Agent and that shines through, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them as the service I received was first class.

Wonderful service from start to finish. Very personal and nothing was too much trouble. They were very understanding when the transaction hit a rather large stumbling block, but with their help everything was resolved. (5/6 bedroom chalet in Charminster, Bournemouth)
This is the second time we have used this firm, once as buyers and now as sellers On both occasions we have received a first class service, great local knowledge and always dealt with in a friendly professional manner, we would have no hesitation in recommending their services to our friends and family. (3 bedroom detached house in Queens Park, Bournemouth)
We could not have asked for a more professional service. The company was friendly and down to earth but provided a top quality service, even visiting the empty property on numerous occasions to ensure the security was not breached and collecting the mail. They are the real estate experts in this area of Bournemouth and it really showed in the way the sale was handled and the type of potential buyers who were shown the property.

To Margaret and the lovely ladies at Paul Watts. Thank you. We got there in the end! Best wishes. (2 bedroom bungalow in Queens Park, Bournemouth)
