I have been looking for an investment property. Andrew Lucas, one of the agents in Abbotts, has been very helpful, knowledgeable, accommodating and respectful of my time in arranging the necessary viewings. Very happy with the service provided and I can certainly recommend both the agency, and Andrew in particular.

Time wasters, as long you want to rent they will be nice and polite. My problems starts end of my tenancy, I've tried to contact agent multiple times, he ignored all my messages, emails, phone calls. I had to find out myself that he has moved to Ipswich branch. All problems I had with the house has been ignored and forgotten. He didn't turn up for appointment, didn't pick up the phone again, I've tried to contact branch, they didn't get back to me. I'm moving out, I wanted to do inventory check and hand over. I would give 0 stars but ain't available.

I have been extremely impressed with the service offered by both the Fakenham office and Hilarie in Cromer. Initially I was a little dubious, I must be honest, about the need for a dedicated sales progressor to be involved in the purchase process, but Hilarie has been absolutely amazing. I do not believe, with extremely slow responses from the other side, that we would be at the position of nearing completion now without her input, so a big thank you to you all.

David, Patrick and the team at Abbotts could not have been more helpful with sale of our property. Their levels of communication were excellent, compared to my previous experiences with estate agents - they were helpful, friendly, courteous and professional - they really went above and beyond with the correspondence between solicitors and the buyer to expedite the sale. Thanks a million!

Bryony, in the Downham Market office, was very helpful and efficient. My move was due to a marital separation and Bryony made things a lot easier for my children and I to cope. Any property issues that have arose have been dealt with quickly and effectively.

Bryony is an excellent property manager. The service provided was a tremendous help. Bryony was able to quickly find a suitable tenant for my property and removed a lot of the legwork that I have had to accomplish in the past when letting out the property. The ReLetting process from beginning to end was so quick and easy. Bryony got to work right away to find a new tenant after the previous tenant unexpectedly and without notice vacated the property. My home went under contract for another Rent term in less than 2 weeks after being listed for Let. Bryony is the Best Property Manager I have worked with in 10+ years.

After I was let down massively by another agency I was very apprehensive about taking another house. Bryony instantly put me at ease and was very professional. I needed to find somewhere very quickly and she made sure everything went through as smoothly as possible. I was so surprised how fast it happened. I couldn’t be happier with the service and should I ever need to move I will definitely want to use Abbott’s in Downham Market in the future. Thank you again Bryony :)

I've rented properties from two other agents before and Abbotts, being the third, are by far the worst in all aspects. To begin with the fee's they charge are ludicrous, being way over anything I've ever previously paid and anywhere I've spoken ti since. To give them some credit they did lower them after I complained, but it just goes to show that they really don't have to charge the high fee's - they just hope people will just pay it without asking questions. PLEASE DO NOT PAY THE FIRST APPLICATION FEE THEY QUOTE!!! (No idea how it can cost £400 to print out some documents and show someone around!?) Over the course of my tenancy they were very poor at getting back to me about any issues I had (I've actually been moved out a month now and I'm still waiting for someone to get back to me about how I can put in a formal compalaint, same old story... they don't do what they say they will) - as I've not heard anything I've decided to put reviews online instead to show others the level of service you get with Abbotts. The worst part was when I had a situation where the landlady and letting agent came to my property uninvited demanding to come in. They arranged a days worth of viewings without my knowledge and as I work from home I was able to catch them out! Apparently I had given them the go ahead to do this, which is funny because as I work at home I would never agree to this. They are liars. I have since rented with another letting agent and I have to say the contrast between the 2 companies is clear. The fee's are half the price of Abbotts, the service is great and they are really quick and getting back to you in a timely and friendly manner. All things that Abbotts sadly lack. I would advise anyone thinking of using them to avoid, it will save you a lot of money, time and stress.
