Richard Watkinson & Partners

Rooted in the East Midlands Since 1988

We believe that property is, and always will be, a people business. When Richard Watkinson founded this firm over 35 years ago with just three staff in a small Newark office, he did so on the principles of high-level customer service and genuine local expertise.

Today, we have grown into a team of over 30 professionals across six regional offices, but our core values haven't changed. We remain a family-run business that puts your needs first, whether you are selling a first-time apartment, letting a commercial unit, or searching for a sprawling country estate.

Why Homeowners and Investors Trust Our Team

What sets us apart is the depth of our local roots. All of our valuers live in the communities they serve, providing you with a personal service backed by real-world data and decades of experience. We don't just know the market; we know the streets, the schools, and the unique character of every village across Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Derbyshire.

"High levels of customer service, a friendly, personable approach, and excellent local knowledge are all paramount in delivering a professional and effective service." — Richard Watkinson, Founder
