A Bit of History

At Watsons, we take pride in our legacy. Founded in 1890 by Edwin Watson, who partnered with Mr. Sadd to form Sadd and Watsons Estate Agents, we built a reputation for excellence, innovation, and integrity. Starting at 14 Rampant Horse Street, Norwich, we expanded across East Anglia, reaching 28 branches by 1986.

Over the years, we evolved beyond estate agency services, expanding into Block & Estate Management and Valuation & Surveying. Backed by our RICS accreditation, we recruit industry-leading professionals to provide expert services in these areas. Today, Watsons operates across the UK, delivering expert services to a wide range of clients.

On November 1, 2022, we incorporated as Watsons Property Group Ltd, shifting our focus entirely to professional property services. Today, we are known for our Valuation & Surveying, Block & Estate Management, and Lettings services, ensuring our clients receive expert advice and tailored solutions.

Through Edwin’s unwavering commitment to integrity, professionalism, and a client-focused approach, he and his son laid the foundation upon which Watsons Property Group Ltd has since flourished. For 135 years, Watsons has consistently upheld its core values, ensuring unparalleled service and expertise to our valued clients.
