As first time landlords, we had no idea what was involved. Chris talked us through it, kept us updated at all times and made the whole process easy and stress free. Thank you Chris.

I cannot recommend the team at Abbotts highly enough. When my mother passed away, they got an excellent offer on her house, but the sale fell through due to a 38 week delay with probate. Despite this disappointment they stuck with the property and achieved another good price. I live in France so it was not easy for me to visit the property, during this time they kept an eye on the bungalow, they organised tradesmen and even did some minor repairs themselves. They saved me a lot of worry and went above on beyond my expectations. Thank you all

We chose Abbotts to sell a house after a bereavement. After the initial consultation all details had to be handled by email and phone because we live nearly 200 miles away. We were kept fully informed at every step and they handled it all very well. I would recommend this estate agents to anyone.

We have been left devastated by this company and would not recommend in the slightest. Our first bad Communications happened in April 2022 when our Boiler broke without much warning. We contacted the Agency who said it would get sorted. We asked about if the Landlady’s insurance would cover a hotel due to having disabled children and was ignored. 3 WEEKS of constant chasing before we eventually got a boiler. Our Landlady started the eviction process back in September 2022 due to us refusing the 12.4% rent increase. That’s fine, she is well within her right to do so. However, when we questioned countrywide to mediate to her, they claimed they would and would respond to us yet never did. We were constantly left chasing them and being made to feel like a Nuisance. When the Eviction date came around, we made it clear to Rhys that we had been advised by the council to remain within the property. We also confirmed with Samantha that we had paid the final amount due in Rent costs. Less than a week later, we had an inspection agent trying to enter our home as she had not been notified that we were still residing there. Our children were terrified, 2 of whom are ASD and then had constant terror over someone entering the home they considered safe. I complained about this and was told it was taken serious however my communications with Rhys had not been being sent across to the other agents. To the point that Samantha actually had to call me to confirm things i had already spoken to Rhys about as she hadn’t been told, yet again. We are now out of the property and they are withholding the deposit by claiming damages that were already there (and proven on our inventory report from when we moved in!) and are now saying we have over 3k arrears even though we confirmed we were fully paid, and no letters or emails were ever sent to ourselves or our guarantors to say any arrears were present. 2 weeks ago i contacted them again to ask about these arrears and was told it would be escalated and gotten back to me, yet i have just had to chase again as radio silence their end. It has caused us no end of stress, our mental health has collapsed due to this company and their poor communications.

Really pleased with the attentiveness and support offered for first time buyers at this branch. Mortgage advice was also top notch and really cleared up a lot of uncertainties. In the end I found a house under a different estate agent so did not purchase one directly through Abbotts. However, the advice and service we received early on was invaluable. We will definitely keep this firm in mind if we ever need them in future. Branch Manager couldn't have been more welcoming :)
