Goddards Estate Agents

Founded by Catherine Goddard in 1997, Goddards is an independent agency situated in 'Town Rooms' at the top of the Thoroughfare, near the market square in the town of Halesworth, Suffolk.

We sell, let and manage an extensive range of property and endeavour to provide the highest level of customer service, with friendly, knowledgeable sales and rental staff.

At Goddards we take care to really listen to our customers' requirements and in many cases our local knowledge can help. We are able to assist clients, newcomers in particular, to identify exactly what they want to achieve by their move, which is quite often a complete change of life-style as well as a change of house.

On the rental side we provide either a tenant-finding service or full management of a property. That means for a one-off fee we will find a tenant, do a credit search and draw up an agreement to comply with increasingly complex legislation. Alternatively we will do all of that as well as overseeing the tenancy from start to finish, collecting the rent and organising any necessary repairs.

Halesworth offers a range of shopping, education, arts and leisure facilities, which include an 18-hole golf course, tennis and bowling club and The Cut Arts Centre.

There is a railway station, which links, via Ipswich, to London's Liverpool Street station. The A144 runs through Halesworth and provides road links to both Norwich (approximately 25 miles to the North) and Ipswich (about 30 miles to the South). The well-known town of Southwold is some 9 miles east of Halesworth and is considered by many to be the focal point of what is known locally as the Heritage Coastline. This general area includes the Nature Reserves at Walberswick and Minsmere, as well as Aldeburgh, Thorpeness and Woodbridge, further to the south.
