Luxury New Build & Conversion Homes in Norfolk & Suffolk
Established in 2011, FW Properties has redefined contemporary property development across Norfolk and Suffolk. Our approach begins with a blank sheet for every project, commissioning architects best suited to each unique site rather than imposing standard templates. With over 45 years combined experience in national and international property development, founders Ian Fox and Julian Wells lead a skilled team dedicated to creating homes that transcend ordinary expectations. We prioritise modern living requirements through functional layouts, premium construction standards, and meticulous attention to detail. Our developments integrate seamlessly with their surroundings, balancing commercial viability with community benefit through thoughtful design and material choices.From initial concept to final finish, we ensure every property reflects both the client's vision and the character of its location. Our commitment extends beyond construction, with energy-efficient systems like Air Source Heat Pumps installed as standard, alongside premium fixtures from leading manufacturers. We believe true luxury lies in creating spaces that harmonise with their environment while meeting the highest practical and aesthetic standards. This philosophy has driven our success in delivering distinctive new builds and sympathetic conversions that stand as enduring contributions to local landscapes.

FW Properties is one of the greatest property management groups that I have had the pleasure of working with. Even though I had extenuating circumstances, Brooke made sure that I was still able to move in. The property is well maintained and maintenance is very quick to respond to fix any issues.

I GOT MY DEPOSIT BACK FROM THIS SCAMMING RENTAL OFFICE after the lady front desk lady told me I wouldnt as if she could control it lol! SIMPLY DISPUTE IT WITH YOUR BANK SINCE THE DEPOSIT IS VIA DEBIT! THEY WENT ONTO MY PERSONAL FACEBOOK ACCOUNT DURING APPLICATION REVIEW! I applied for a property with them in August and they required an application fee and deposit AT THE TIME OF APPLYING before approved. I was desperate and had no reason not to so sure. I had rented past 5 years from 2 different family properties where I paid rent, had a lease, proof of rental payment and a roommate even

Ive lived here for over a year now, originally priced at 625 per month, this place was perfect for me. After living here for this amount of time I begin to see the cracks in the charm of older buildings like these though of course. No dishwasher, no garbage disposal, super drafty + thin windows, no central air conditioning, hot water that runs out (not even enough to fill the shallow bath tub) among other small things. I like this area for its charm and proximity to the park, it is in an interesting area because it is right in the middle of Bexley, Whitehall, South Linden, and Downtown. Then

I've been a tenant for 6mths now; it's been great. All payments are made online, on site Clean & Safe laundry facilities.. Custodial service keeps Property clean, even the outdoor grounds are groomed. Minimal maintenance but they are always one call away and very accommodating. I am So Pleased with F&W Properties

They pad their reviews by having their own employees and family write reviews. Any place that says they are like a family you need to watch out for. They're lying. Almost every single apartment still has lead paint in it. Windows broken. Mold growing out of sinks. Homes so small you set the fire alarm off everytime you cook. And they're all over priced.

My husband and I just moved in and over all our experience was very good.Brooke D. and the team were very responsive and polite when we called. Our move-in meeting with Clayton went very well and he was very nice and respectful towards us.

I like how quick maintenance requests are handled. I don't like the 2 rent increases in the last 6 months amounting to $60. I like that they check for bedbugs but hate the canine inspections for the bedbugs every 3 months. The property is well maintained and they just added new doublepanes windows to all the apts in this building.
