Trusted Estate Agents in Stourbridge, Hagley & Kidderminster
Established in 1929, Walton and Hipkiss is a family-run estate agency with a rich heritage in property services. Our journey began on Hagley Road in Stourbridge, where we defied superstition by opening on April Fools' Day in an 'unlucky' number 13 address. Over nine decades later, we've grown to serve Hagley, Stourbridge, Kidderminster, and surrounding areas with residential sales, lettings, commercial property, and block management services. Our deep local knowledge and commitment to personal service set us apart in an industry often dominated by corporate chains. We pride ourselves on combining traditional values with modern expertise, offering free valuations, mortgage advice, and tailored property solutions. Our team's generational experience ensures clients receive informed guidance through every property transaction.From our historic Stourbridge office to our newly opened Kidderminster branch, we maintain the same dedication to excellence that has sustained us since the Great Depression. Our success in navigating market changes while preserving our family ethos demonstrates our adaptability and resilience. We specialise in understanding the unique needs of property owners and tenants across diverse market segments. Our comprehensive services extend beyond transactions to include property maintenance and management solutions.

I'd called all of the agents in Stourbridge around Feb time to build relationships in the hope one of them could meet our need.and one certainly did! Thank you to James Snape and his colleagues for sticking their necks out for our slightly out -of -the -ordinary situation. Its at a time like that that we realise who is genuinely interested in helping and who isn't. I'm in sales myself; I never felt that we were being treated like just another buyer. From start to finish, I couldn't fault the communication, and general all-around feeling of confidence that James instilled! Thank you W&H!

Rebecca at Walton and Hipkiss went above and beyond for us, chasing the chain daily and doing more than our solicitors! She is a credit to the company.

Walton and Hipkiss were the estate agents for the house I recently purchased, and I cannot recommend them, and in particular James Snape, highly enough. The whole process was made easier by James' professionalism, integrity, attention to detail, excellent communication at all times, and what really stands out is the fact is that they really do care and go above and beyond. If I ever sell I wouldn't want any one else to deal with it!

All one way conversations, monologue & rushed interactions on every phone call, poor photos, we raised this openly & the outlook all changed for us a defiance like no other.check out the quality of other estate agents photos first before you sign, Severn Estates look great.
