Mark Swaby is professional, courteous and always clear in his explanations. He answers all of my questions not matter how small. He has always been prepared and well organised for every meeting with him over the last few years I have been dealing with him.

I recently viewed a lovely house in Downham Market, which I was thinking of renting. Lisa gave me a very nice tour of the place. She was both knowledgeable and friendly. Ultimately, I decided to rent a flat in Cambridge, as this is more convenient for my research. Nevertheless, I was very impressed with Abbotts and would not hesitate to contact them again if I were looking for a place in or near Downham Market.

1 star rating is too good I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND THIS AGENT. Everytime I see an Abbott's advert I run in the next direction. My family is new to the UK and my wife was frank with Agent and explained our lack of experience in our initial meeting with the Agent from Basildon Office, we weren't looking for hand outs, My wife was head hunted to contribute to the NHS, we took this opportunity not because we needed it but because we always wanted to travel and see new places. Nonetheless we told him we will be relying heavily on his advice to secure a rented property. We had a particular property in mind we told him which one we wanted and he made us go through all the motions only to find out 5 DAYS before arriving in Basildon that we didn't qualify for the property. We lost our deposit to hold the property. Thank goodness her employers were sympathetic with our case and made alternative arrangements. Update: NOTICE THE AGENTS REPLY BELOW. They completely left out the fact that we weren't informed of the issues until a few days prior as a matter of fact here is an email sent on the 31st August 2019 which I yet to get a response on (NOT EVEN AN APOLOGY OR CALL TO FIND OUT IF WE WERE LIVING ON THE STREETS) (& this as of 12:42am 3rd October, 2019), also we were supposed to move in August 21st and got delayed by construction issues with property, so my question is why wasn't the checks completed as per the original move-in date because they had most of August and part of July. If checks were completed and our application rejected by the 21st August, 2019 it would have allowed us enough time to seek an alternative and yes we would have been happy to continue with the Agent, wasn't the landlord informed about our special circumstances by the Agent? NB: I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE MEASILY DEPOSIT BUT WHAT I CARE ABOUT IS THAT MY CHILD AND I WERE ALMOST HOMELESS. I DON'T WISH TO CONTACT THESE PEOPLE NOR DO I EVER WISH TO BE CONTACTED BY THEM. HERE IS THE EMAIL DATED 31/08/2019. YOU BE THE JUDGE Good day Mr. Chapman, We refer to the above captioned rental property. As I understand there has been some delay with process, I would like to have an explanation to develop an appreciation as to why at this 11th hour this application hasn't been completed as yet. I am sure you would appreciate that us (the applicant & her dependents) being foreigners, aren't aware of the entire proceedings and are depending on you to provide extraordinary advice and service to ensure that this process is as smooth as possible. My son and I are due to arrive next week and if this has not been sorted I am sure you can understand the debacle we will be facing. At this stage I would also like to obtain some assurances that this will be completed on or before the 5th September, 2019. We have already made our arrangements based on the promised date of moving in and expect furniture to be arriving at the captioned location on the 5th September, 2019. I look forward to your urgent response. Kindest regards, Gary THIS IS MY EXPERIENCE YOUR EXPERIENCE MAY NOT BE THE SAME BUT THIS IS FOR YOU TO CONSIDER. I ALWAYS TRY TO BE FAIR WHEN GIVING RATING BUSINESSES.

Thank you for taking the time to leave this feedback. As I am sure you can appreciate the Landlord uses their own referencing agency and their criteria had to be met and I note that you were advised early on in the process that further information was required for the references to be satisfactory, however, I do note that there were lengthy delays with the provision of this information which also, unfortunately turned out to be insufficient. We do appreciate that you were relying upon other people providing these details, however this dependency did cause further delays. I can advise, at the request of the Landlord, your holding deposit was not returned due to these delays. Should you wish to discuss further, please contact us at review@countrywide.co.uk/ Kind regards, Scott

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY FOR RENTAL SERVICES. I have tried over 25 times to call through to the lettings department. They are under staffed, they do not answer the phones. If you are lucky enough to get a call back from anyone you get a poor attitude 0% customer service and the manager Damian as about as useful as a chocolate tea pot. No replies to countless emails and answer phone messages. Do yourself a favour and go with another estate agent as you will be paying for a service that you will never recieve.

Damian and his team have provided me with a professional and attentive service since the purchase of my first investment property in 2015. Over the last 4 years I have received expertise in all matters across the whole spectrum of property letting. I would consider that Abbotts Countrywide Estate Agents Ipswich are the first and foremost letting agent in the town. When looking for further investment properties this year, Damian and Lauren have answered my many, many phone calls and emails with patience, always helpful and demonstrating detailed knowledge of the differing areas of Ipswich. Damian is skilled in matching the tenant to a property, understanding the requirements of both the tenant and landlord whilst instilling confidence and trust in both sides during negotiations. I am delighted to say, that the FIRST prospective tenants to view my gorgeous new properties for a long term let, have now moved in! Well done Damian and Lauren for finding me such super quality and lovely people, what speed! I look forward to many more years of working with you guys, thank you :-))

I am a private landlord, and was looking to re-let a property in Hot which was not straightforward, as whilst the location was very good - due to a lack of parking and the property being quite compact I felt it required intelligent marketing and a focus on attracting the right sort of tenant. Nina Chambers at the Cromer branch was excellent from start to finish, marketing the property without delay, and securing a new tenant to move in just a few days after the old tenant had moved out. Great Work!

Adam · 11 October 2019 · Abbotts Countrywide Cromer (41 Prince of Wales Road)

After a few initial problems because of a staffing issue, I was very pleased with the tenant that Abbotts then found for me. It took a little while but they fulfilled my remit and obtained me a very good market rental. The staff that I spoke too were really friendly. The inventory and meter readings were very efficient. Statements are clear. I did have to follow up on final bills myself, even though it was fully managed, as companies had not heard from the tenant direct and I found that a bit surprising as I expected this to be handled really. Mine was a furnished place and another local agent had been really worried he could not find the right person, so Abbotts did well. I am very grateful. I would recommend them.
