Landlord Services
Letting residential property is now recognised as a permanent feature of the property market. Watons have offered a letting and management service to landlords for many years. This is a service we are committed to expanding and improving.
Whether you are a professional landlord or a home owner considering a temporary letting, your income can be increased and the risk of problems reduced by first class professional letting and management.
Watsons lettings are handled from our central Norwich office at 1 Bank Plain by the dedicated letting team, and all our branch offices.
Notice to landlords
