When Albert Hipkiss opened a small Hagley Road Estate Agents on April fool's day 1929, little did he know it would still be going strong 90 years on. And it is no joke that it has now grown into a hugely successful family run business with offices in Stourbridge, Hagley and Kidderminster. From Albert Hipkiss who founded the company in 1929 with then partner James Walton; Walton and Hipkiss was established in the exact same building that stands today on the Hagley Road, Stourbridge.Passed through the generations, Albert left the family run business to John Hipkiss who was responsible for opening Hagley Office in 1981 and continued successfully until 2006.

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!

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!

Extremely unprofessional! They rejected any verified ID copy from overseas solicitor and even UK solicitor and kept requesting buyers to have ID verified by the bank for performing due diligence check, while the bank reiterated that they DO NOT offer such service. When the buyer responded that he could have a UK solicitor to clarify the requirement under AML regulation. W & H just ignored it and the transaction fell through ultimately.

We recently used Walton and Hipkiss to manage the sale of my mother's house and throughout the process I found them professional and easy to deal with. Their knowledge of the local market was very good, they kept us well informed, the price achieved was good and it was a very smooth process all the way through. I'd thoroughly recommend.

Walton and Hipkiss Stourbridge office were absolute pleasure to deal with from Alice, valuing my property to Jo Bill seeing the sale through. The chain took far longer to complete than I expected and at times was frustrating and stressful, through no fault of my agent. Jo was on the ball all the time, chasing and was very patient and reassuring. Marketing and Video of my property was excellent. Definitely would use WH again

From the three agents who valued the property we needed to sell Alice from Walton & Hipkiss was the most enthusiastic and seemed confident that she could get more for it than the other two agents. Once on the market Claire was very communicative and towards the end of the sale process Jo kept her finger on the pulse by keeping a dialogue going with all parties. Overall, a very professional service and nice people to deal with. I would recommend the team at the Stourbridge office without a second thought. Our thanks to you all.

Walton and Hipkiss were the agents for a property we were buying. Throughout the process they were very helpful and intervened on our behalf several times when things started to get bogged down. Jo Bill and Claire we're excellent, nothing was too much trouble and we would not hesitate to use them in the future.
