GoogleHonestly the best experience we've ever had with a letting agent... And we've used a few over the years. Hannah kept us informed and was always on hand to answer our questions. Definitely recommend ☺️
Wonderful to read Terri-Grace that you had a fantastic experience with our local Abbotts team and I would like to thank you for taking the time to leave your review and provide our team with 5*! Thank you for the recommendation. Best wishes, Lucy.

GoogleWe found a progress 'chaser' a most useful addition, linking the two ends of the negotiation. A boundary issue could have weakened the resolve without knowing the position of both parties. You cannot beat good communication.
Thank you Gavin for your kind review. It is great to read that you found the sales progression most useful. We do always aim to provide a 5* service and as such I would like to invite you to contact us via review@countrywide.co.uk to discuss how we could achieve that elusive 5th star. Best wishes, Scott

GoogleHaving dealt with numerous mediocre agents over the years and having gone through a wide array of frustrating problems had made me prejudiced towards the industry as a whole. However, then having the pleasure of dealing with Nina from the Cromer branch I can safely put to bed any prejudices I may have had as she went absolutely above and beyond and made the whole process incredibly simple and smooth and was very attentive to any needs while dealing with the move. Have recommended this branch to friends who are also in the renting market.
Thank you Andrew for your glowing 5* review of our Abbotts Countrywide team. It is always great to read such positive reviews from our clients. Best wishes, Lucy.

GoogleJust a quick note to say thank you to Abbotts property manager Becki for her help when my main input fuse blew and I lost all power to my rented property. She had the local contractor attend very quickly and thanks to UK Power Networks, the issue has now been resolved. Thanks once again, Becki. Regards Jon Dunn
Thank Jon for the wonderful review of your experience with our Abbotts Countrywide team in particular Becki. Kind regards, Lucy

GoogleNot all estate agents are equal - David in your Cambridge office is certainly an example of "what good looks like"! He has been without doubt the best person I’ve dealt with during my recent sale/purchase of houses. Surpassing my solicitors without question. David’s professional and supportive approach from day one has been outstanding. His communication skills are exceptional and he’s a delight to deal with. Within my role at work; I manage a European wide Client services team. I wish I had a David! He will be an asset to any team he joins. I do hope David is recognised within his role as he, in my opinion, is the best representation of Abbots Cambridge you have.
Thank you Emma for recognising David and our Cambridge team with your 5* review! I will make sure your kind words are forwarded to David and also his Regional Director for further recognition. Kindest regards, Scott

GoogleUnfortunately Abbotts have let us down very badly since we moved into 5 Cow Cottages Ashen CO10 8JP even though they did some of the repairs Abbotts have continuously let the landlord get away with not carrying out repairs to the said property & this has been going on since we moved in on the 28/10/2017 so i would NOT Recommend Abbotts lettings to anyone on the move from said address on the 27/07 19 wow what a relief because nothing has improved in regards to the service we have received over the past 21 months I am sure Abbotts Countrywide as a whole are a good company but unfortunately their Bury St Edmunds branch is the biggest let down ever for customer service hated the whole experience with them unfortunately especially when we have been honest throughout and rent fully paid up to date such a shame they took notice of a 3rd party landlord who's name don't even appear on the contract I would download all the photographic evidence but it would be too embarrassing for the genuine people who work for Abbotts Countrywide.
We have come across your Google Review this morning and we feel saddened to read this. I’m sure you can understand that we act on behalf of the Landlord and his decisions with his property, which I appreciate has been frustrating for yourselves but we have to act accordingly. I wish you all the best in your new property and hope you will enjoy your time there.

GoogleMe and my girlfriend are currently looking for somewhere to rent in and around Bury St Edmunds to move very soon. I contacted the office last week and spoke with a lady called Kerry who was very polite and friendly who passed me over to her colleague Vivien. She took down our details to see if she can find the right property for us and was helpful. They didn’t have what we are looking for last week, but have contacted us today and booked us in for a viewing this week. We've found the service really good so far and fingers crossed the property is for us as it ticks all of the boxes!
Thank you Aaron for your wonderful 5* review of our local Abbotts team. It is always great to read such positive reviews from our clients. Best wishes, Scott.

GoogleAvoid at all costs!!! My mother moved out two month ago from the flat and they still haven't returned the deposit. They either ignore your calls, tells you that they are busy or their computer broke. It's a joke! Been calling them daily, they have an excuse for everything. Appalling service
Hi Egle, thank you for taking the time to write to us. So we can look further into your experience, please do get in contact with us at review@countrywide.co.uk Best wishes Emma.

GoogleMixed experiences with Abbotts as a whole, but since Rebecca Carse took over as our property manager, things have been much smoother. Very attentive and friendly, nothing seems too much trouble!
Amy, I am sorry that your experience was not as expected to start, however, I am delighted to read that Rebecca has made amends for this. Please get in touch if there is anything we can do or address at review@countrywide.co.uk Kindest regards, Mark

GoogleThis review is for the lettings department. Although in my opinion there were unnecessary problems encountered initially, I'm happy to forget those and give 5 stars. Gemma is a great mananager and the recent member of the team Carla could not have been more professional, friendly, polite and helpful. The whole team did their level best to accommodate from start to finish. Thank you.
Hi Carl, many thanks for your 5* review. I'm delighted that despite initial difficulties Gemma, Carla and the team at Abbotts Countrywide were able to proved an effective, professional and friendly service to you. Kind regards Tracey.

GoogleI can't rate the team at Beccles highly enough. Our move wasn't exactly easy, but without their hard work and commitment it simply wouldn't have happened! Natalie's dedication to her job is evident, and she saved our move from falling through on more than one occasion. We will be forever grateful to these lovely ladies for helping us move into our dream home, and will be sure to recommend them in the future. Thank you Natalie and the team!!
Thank you Amy for such a wonderful 5* review of our team at Abbotts, Beccles. It is great to read that Natalie was particularly helpful throughout your transaction and that you would recommend our team to others. Kind regards, Scott

GoogleDiane & Steve were brilliant. Such a lovely set of people to deal with, Diane was really on the ball and kept up to date every step of the way through our purchase. Couldn't have asked for a better service. Really enjoyed the whole process. Which is very unusual for an estate agent. Would definitely recommend. Mr & Mrs Rowell.
Steve, thank you for your kind words and taking the time out to do this. Kindest regards, Mark

GoogleSearching for a property to buy and finding the right mortgage is extremely complicated and stressful process. Accepting the service of Miss Holly Simms CeMAP as my mortgage broker was one of the best choices I have ever made. With her careful approach toward a client, excellent communication skills and calm demeanour all the process suddenly became clear, simple and almost stress free. In our first meeting she took time to explain all the main stages and benchmarks in mortgage application, including estimated time periods. After assessing my choice of property and financial status (agreement in principle) she made a careful search of the best mortgage option. Then she took complete responsibility to arrange the mortgage application on my behalf. Additionally, she offered excellent insurance for the mortgaged property. I really recommend her service, especially to clients with little or no experience in mortgage application. Great thanks to Holly and Abbots Countrywide - it was an excellent job.
Thank you Stefka for taking the time to leave us with your fantastic 5* review of the great service you received from the branch. Best wishes Emma

GoogleGenevieve at Abbott’s was brilliant. Couldn’t fault anything. Helped me and my partner into our first home with no problems at all. Quick response time to emails and any question was always answered in detail and we were never left wondering. Would 100% recommend.
