    We don't use handcuffs to keep our clients,
    image cannot be displayed
    At Gilson Bailey & Partners we do not shackle sellers to lengthy contracts. We are the only estate agent in Norwich whose customers have only ever committed to a two-week rolling agreement underlining our determination to provide a sharply-focused service from day one. And that, we believe, is a far more powerful customer incentive than the lengthy, restrictive contracts of 12 to 20 weeks operated by our competitors.

    Keeping our operation under one roof

This was rubber stamped when the office was awarded Best Residential Estate Agency Branch by Phil Spencer of Channel 4's Location, Location, Location at the Archant Property Awards.

    Testimonials from Sellers

    • Seller Testimonial

      Thank you team Gilson!

      Our family were very pleased with the help we received whilst selling my late grandmothers home. Gilson Bailey made this sad experience a far less painful one and the team kept me informed of viewings along the way by email which worked well for me in my busy work. Christina was extremely helpful with tying everything up at the end and I would have no hesitation in recommending them for buying or selling. Indeed I already have. Thank you team Gilson!

      L. Prior

    • Seller Testimonial

      Sympathetic and Excellent

      I have recently completed the sale of my late brother in law's house through Gilson Bailey. The service from start to finish has been excellent. Regular updates on viewings were given and at all times the response from the firm was quick and efficient. A special word for Donna Wicks who was very sympathetic to my wife and sister in law at the outset and who responded immediately to one or two problems which arose during the period of sale. Advice was given on a number of extraneous matters where there was no obligation to do so. I would heartily recommend this firm for selling your property.

      Excellent Service

      Excellent service .

      Cannot fault the service I received. They have a rolling 2 week contract so you're not tied in to them if you change your mind. Opening hours are great, with viewings 7 days a week. Christina was my main point of contact, she was efficient, friendly and always called when she said she would. Moving is very stressful but Gilson Bailey help and advise you along the way.

      C. Freeman

    • Seller Testimonial

      Five Star Service

      Absolutely fantastic service, would highly recommend!

      Kristina was incredible, helpful, professional and went above and beyond what was required. I couldn't have asked for a better service and would have no hesitation in recommending Gilson Bailey to anyone! Five star service from start to finish!

      E. Goodey

    • Seller Testimonial

      Exceptional

      Can't speak highly enough of the team at Gilson Bailey! Exceptional. They are professional, approachable, patient and caring. None of that annoying and pressured aggressive sales behaviour thank goodness. If you want to sell your property look no further - we couldn't be happier with how the sale of our home was managed from beginning to end.

      B. J. Williams

    • Seller Testimonial

      Courteous and Professional

      I am delighted by my recent experience of selling my mother's flat through Gilson Bailey. Every member of the team that I dealt with was friendly, courteous and professional and always gave me feedback from viewings, which some other agents do not. I particularly like the fact that you can contact someone 7 days a week and are not tied into a lengthy contract. I highly recommend Gilson Bailey and hope to use them again some time in the future. Thank you!

      I. Rowe

    • Seller Testimonial

      Excellent Reputation

      I chose Gilson Bailey due to their excellent reputation, prime knowledge of selling/the locality and their previous great service when I originally purchased the flat.

      When selling the flat the team at Gilson Bailey were excellent and made the whole process stress free. Jack's valuation of the property meant I got a reasonable price and quick sale. His photographs optimised the presentation of the flat and he reassured me that it wasn't necessary to spend time decluttering or decorating. The flat was low lease so it required a buyer who didn't need a mortgage, however they immediately found an appropriate buyer - the flat was sold to the first viewer. The fact that they were quick and flexible enough to arrange the viewing straight away was important. Communication was excellent throughout and they even sent flowers on exchange. They are all just really pleasant people.

    • Seller Testimonial

      Seamless Process with Good Feedback

      In the past couple of years I have used Gilson Bailey to sell two properties within Norwich's Golden Triangle. After assessing three possible Norwich based agencies - One large multi-office firm, a smaller Norfolk focused company - and Gilson Bailey, I chose for the following reasons:

      Detailed knowledge of the Norwich property market.

      Long serving staff.

      No high turnover employees.

      Outstanding understanding of the requirements of landlords.

      Accurate valuation of the properties.

      No silly high valuations to appeal to one's greed nor low in an effort to make a quick sale.

      After using GB, my decision to appoint them as agents was fully justified and I was pleased to experience a seamless process with good feedback at each stage.

    • Seller Testimonial

      Customer Care of the Highest Standard

      We do not live locally and were recommended to use Gilson Bailey by a friend. We found their level of communication at all stages of the sale process was of the highest standard. We very much appreciated all the "hand holding and advice" provided to us. The level of customer care was of the highest standard and we would have no hesitation in recommending Gilson Bailey to anyone wishing to sell their property.

      S. Young

    • Seller Testimonial

      Will use them again with Confidence

      Excellent service for the sale of my home from the valuation to completion. Gilson Bailey's team acted professionally at all times, were responsive and helpful and gave very good sound advice throughout all stages and represented my interests really well. Kristina and Lauren who managed my sale once an offer was accepted were particular good. I thoroughly recommend Gilson Bailey and will use them again with confidence in the future.

      A. Newman

    • Seller Testimonial

      Really couldn't ask for more

      I was delighted to find that I received a down to earth and friendly, yet professional service from the team at Gilson Bailey. I couldn't help but be impressed with their non-pushy, realistic valuation of my property and the speedy reply to any queries I had throughout. They quickly secured a number of viewings and within the first week we had accepted an offer - really couldn't ask for more!

      A. J. Carter

    • Seller Testimonial

      Absolutely Amazing

      Recently sold a property through Gilson Bailey in less than straightforward circumstances. From start to finish EVERY single member of staff involved at different stages of the sale, from marketing, viewings, negotiations and then on to the exchange and completion stages were absolutely amazing. They were always well informed, easy to contact, returned calls, reassuring and professional. Their communication with all other parties involved and myself was second to none, and they ensured that a smooth easy house sale occurred. Special mention to Stuart, Luke and Kristina who I cannot rate highly enough.

    Testimonials from Buyers

    • Buyer Testimonial

      Helpful, Flexible and Well Informed

      We bought our current apartment through GB and found them to be very helpful, flexible and well in formed during the whole purchase process and did much to reassure us through some very rocky times. When we finally moved in, a potted plant was delivered by a local florist as a 'Welcome to Your New Home' present! An unexpected and lovely touch we thought.

      G. Harbord

    • Buyer Testimonial

      Incredibly Patient

      Highly recommend Gilson Bailey. Kristina helped smooth the house buying process for us, I couldn't be more thankful! As first time buyers, Kristina listened to all of our questions and was incredibly patient. Thank you for all your help Gilson Bailey!

      E. Doyle

    • Buyer Testimonial

      Excellent Service

      Excellent service! They found us the perfect home and helped communicate with the seller at all stages during the buying process, which relieved a lot of stress. I would always get a reply on the day - thank you Kristine and Donna! The day I sell, I will go with them for sure!

      K. Robin

    • Buyer Testimonial

      Always on hand to help

      As first time buyers we were really pleased with the way Gilson Bailey helped us with the process of getting into our new home. They were always on hand to help with any questions we had or to simply reassure us on info we were waiting on. Despite a few unforeseen hiccups, not of their own fault, Gilson Bailey made it a smooth transition and I would highly recommend them.

      B. Warr

    • Buyer Testimonial

      Top class service

      When buying my first home on my own, Gilson and Bailey were the perfect estate agents to guide me through the process. The staff were very knowledgeable and went out of their way to ensure that I got the house I wanted. They kept in touch with me throughout and helped with getting things moving as quickly as possible. I would definitely recommend using Gilson and Bailey when buying or selling as they take pride in offering a top class service.

      J. Smith

    • Buyer Testimonial

      Issues swiftly resolved

      Had the pleasure of dealing with Gilson and Bailey for my recent property search and subsequent purchase. All viewings were arranged easily at times that suited me and conducted well by regular knowledgeable staff. Communication throughout the purchase was excellent and any issues swiftly resolved. As a smaller business they fall into less of the pitfalls that agencies like Abbot Fox and William H Brown suffer and I found a good level of continuity in communication from them.

      B. Wise

    • Buyer Testimonial

      Very professional and always contactable

      Yet again excellent service from Gilson and bailey! Very professional and always contactable. A huge thank you to Juliette for constantly keeping us up to date with the progress of the purchase, we will be sure to use you again and again Gilson and bailey. Thankyou!

      H-A Craigie

    • Buyer Testimonial

      Kept in the loop at all times

      We recently bought our first home so were slightly unsure on what to expect, but from the offset Gilson and Bailey were informative and kept us in the loop at all times. Making appointments were straight forward, and regular contact via email and phone were made throughout the process. Any queries we had were soon answered and we felt at ease the whole time. Would definitely recommend them if you are thinking of selling or buying!

      K. Savory

    • Buyer Testimonial

      Outstanding service

      We used Gilson Bailey to purchase an investment property. The service we received was outstanding. They came to the viewing with lots of information about the property and we felt fully informed. This was not the case with other agents in the area. All of the staff we have dealt with at Gilson Bailey from the sales and lettings side have been extremely professional, friendly and helpful. We are using Gilson Bailey as our managing agent and couldn't recommend them enough.

      H. Hart

    • Buyer Testimonial

      Made the process easy from start to finish

      As a first time buyer I had many concerns and questions around buying my first property and the team at Gilson Bailey could not have been more helpful and accommodating. Luke was fantastic at arranging all the of viewings initially, and even recommended me a fantastic mortgage advisor in MCB - both of whom took me through the process in a calm and informative way. Once my offer had been accepted Kristina, was incredible at continuing to chase the sellers solicitor for updates, and pushed to get completion as close to when I wanted! To add to the lovely service, I was surprised to also find a little rose bush delivered congratulating me on my purchase when I moved it - such a lovely gesture.

      I would highly recommend Gilson Bailey if you're looking to purchase or sell a property, but particularly those first time buyers who have as many questions as i did as they made the whole process easy from start to finish!

      K. Semper

    • Buyer Testimonial

      Friendly team, excellent service

      Myself and my husband are both first time buyer to purchase our property but we did not find it difficult as staff were very helpful to us from start to finish.

    • Buyer Testimonial

      I would 100% use them again

      Gilson Bailey have been absolutely fantastic during purchasing our new property through them. The employees are so polite, friendly and professional. Any enquires we had were answered straight away, and they even gave us advice and helped us with the sale of our property, even though it was not being sold through them sadly! I would 100% use them again and recommended them to anyone and everyone! They are the only estate agent in Norwich I would us or recommend from now on. Thank you so much to you all.
