Durrants

Since 1853, we have been at the heart of the property market in Norfolk and Suffolk. At Durrants, we don't just sell houses; we provide a comprehensive suite of professional services that cover every aspect of land and property ownership. Whether you are a homeowner in Southwold, a farmer in Diss, or a developer in Beccles, our team is here to do the hard work for you.

A Multi-Disciplinary Approach to Property

What sets us apart is our breadth of expertise. While many know us as leading estate agents, we are also chartered surveyors, auctioneers, and planning consultants. This means we can guide you through the entire lifecycle of a property—from initial planning and architectural design to the final sale or auction.

Deep Roots in the Agricultural Community

Our heritage is firmly planted in the rural landscape. We provide specialist advice to the rural community, ranging from farm management and land sales to our renowned machinery and site auctions. We understand the unique challenges of the East Anglian countryside because we’ve been part of it for over 170 years.

Building Consultancy and Planning Excellence

Our in-house building consultancy team bridges the gap between vision and reality. We offer a seamless service that combines technical precision with local insight:

• Architectural Services: Designing bespoke new builds and renovations that respect the local vernacular.
• Planning Advice: Navigating the complexities of local planning authorities to unlock the potential of your land.
• Building Surveying: Providing peace of mind for buyers and owners of historic, residential, or commercial buildings.

Why Homeowners and Investors Trust Us

We pride ourselves on honest advice and exceptional service. From the moment you request a valuation with team members like Jakki in Harleston or George Berry, you’ll experience a level of local market knowledge that only a firm with our history can provide.

"The staff at Durrants were polite, helpful and knowledgeable... they were there every step of the way and after."

We use modern marketing—including professional property videos and a connection to the Mayfair office for London exposure—to ensure your property reaches the right audience, while maintaining the traditional values of integrity and hard work that have defined us for generations.
