Absolutely gutted with the negligence of this agency. We (myself and two other female house mates) have moved out of a property rented by them in July of 2022. It is now February 2023 and we still have not heard back from Ms Samantha Reynolds. It does not fall short to say that we are being swindled of our entire deposit. This agency claims to be in partnership with the Tenancy Deposit Scheme, which legally secures deposit fees, however we have been ignored for over 7 months. I would also like to mention that at the beginning of the process of renting the property, we received the most disgraceful service from an employee of theirs, who wanted us to pay the deposit before viewing the property, because there was an urge to get paperwork signed since there were various people interested. After further back and forth with this person, she finally agreed to show us the property and then we asked if we liked the property, whether we could process paperwork that same day, since we travelled over 1.5 hours to Colchester. She agreed and when we arrived, showed us the property and then proceeded to say that she is now going home and if we want to proceed we should go back to Colchester in the next following days. Clearly, there have been many red flags from this agency, and they have ignored legal protocal, which is why we are now in the process of involving our solicitors. If you want to have a peaceful and smooth tenancy, avoid this agency at all cost.

I requested to rent a property and Abbotts have been one of the few companies that will offer help (I’m a full time student). I have only ever lived with my family or in university accommodation, but Joe and Chloe were so helpful and were willing to sit down with me and go through the documents so I knew what it meant. They explained everything and answered all questions I had. They also managed to make it feel slightly less stressful than I thought. 10/10 service, would 100% recommend. Thankyou Joe and Chloe!!!

Hollie took time with us to establish our needs and showed us around several properties straight away to help us fine tune want we like. Polite, friendly and helpful, good balance of giving us time while professionally following up afterwards.

Popped in to Abbotts in Hunstanton to discuss a property we had found on Rightmove. Hollie looked after me and also talked me through other properties they had on their books. I then visited a few and Hollie was excellent, very good on the details and knowledge of the area etc. Really couldn't fault the service and hope we are dealing with Hollie @ Abbotts very soon. Many thanks Paul.

Very impressed and grateful to Hollie and Garry at the Hunstanton branch of Abbotts. Hollie recommended a fantastic in house solicitor to deal with the sale of our property. Garry was extremely helpful, reprinting and completing paperwork that we didn’t understand. Both Garry and Hollie are very professional and know their jobs inside out. Would highly recommended the Hunstanton Branch as we have found all members of staff to go above and beyond.

Fantastic team at Abbotts, everyone is very very helpful and friendly. Got some excellent advice from Oliver regarding the roof on a property even though I potentially was selling this property privately to family. The next time I need an Estate Agent, I won't bother with getting any appointments with the other agents as once you've met the best, you ignore the rest...

Abbotts have always been my go to choice of agent for finding a suitable new tenant for my rental property in Bury St Edmunds. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them, Nicole took care of every element of the change over this time in a professional and informative manner. She was very prompt at getting the property marketed and helping the prospective tenants alike find the most suitable place to rent. Thanks for your help Nicole and Kerry.

I'd say as as far as we've seen the letting agencies, Abbott's is best. Me and my partner is from overseas. From the very beginning they were really helpful through the whole process. Especially I have to mention Nicole and Kerry. They both been advising and responding to both of us. They constantly been contacting us through each and every single thing. I have personally met Nicole only on viewing the property and while receiving the keys, she's absolutely a positive vibe. Everything was timely and well organized, superquick from viewing to receiving the keys. I'd highly recommend Abbott's sales and Letting agents . A very big thank you from me and my partner.

This was the first time I had moved house for many years, so I was very apprehensive. Klaudia was attentive and reassuring throughout the process, which took many months, giving me regular updates and keeping me informed of progress at all times.

Klaudia has been fantastic in helping us with our relocation to Norwich. As we do not know the city that well, she has been quick to establish the kind of lifestyle we are looking for and help us focus on areas that would suit us. Klaudia has listened carefully to our feedback on our first viewings and then suggested other properties we may have overlooked which turned out to be ideal. Faultless customer service and communication.
