Absolute are absolutely fabulous

I have used other letting agents, but I will now stick with Absolute, as they are far superior to others. They do what they say they will do and they do it quickly. It is a family business and they run it supremely well and successfully. All the staff are easy to talk to and very helpful, I wish that I had gone to them sooner. Keep up the good work. Bob Jenkins

Personal, professional and attentive!

I have had the pleasure of working with the team at Absolute to manage my rental property over the last few years. Being a family run business I find the service provided by the team very personal and tailored to your individual needs. Whilst remaining professional they will make it their aim to understand your individual needs and are proactive in familiarising with your property. Marketing, referencing and financial checks are undertaken with pace and urgency complemented by professional advertising and a user friendly website. This has ensured my property has been continually occupied with regular income. Overall an excellent service of whom I would highly recommend.

A treasure find for any distant landlord!

I had been with a national company who not only neglected the tenants (and I lost a few) but me as a landlord. When I decided to change I wanted to 'go local'. From the minute I called Chelsey and Simon they made me feel like they were the company that would look after the property even though I lived more than 200 miles away. I have been with Absolute a while now and do not even think about the property, tenants or any problems. If they phone me with a problem, eg washing machine, they have already got a solution and a price. Before, with the other agent I had ' washing machines broke, what do ya wanna do about it'. I would thoroughly recommend this company. D Porter, Worcester

Thanks Simon, Chelsey and all the team at Absolute. The media like to make a meal out of bad landlords, but can't thank you enough for sorting out problematic tenants. You re-let our property within a day of it becoming vacant and the new tenants are happy even though the weather has not permitted the re-rendering of the back of the property. It will be sorted ASAP, but it seems it is not a problem to the new people. All of the surrounding residents are happy with their new neighbours. Thanks again for your professional services.

Absolute handled my house sale in an excellent professional manner

Every aspect of my house sale was dealt with in a very professional and reassuring manner by all the staff at Absolute. Having only ever sold one house over thirty years ago I was dreading the sale but from the first meeting through to completion of the sale the staff at Absolute were always available with support on any aspect of the process and it was a pleasure to have met with and dealt with all the various members of staff. I would have no hesitation in recommending Absolute to anyone wishing to sell their property as they would be given an exceptional professional service.

Excellent service and very helpful!

I have used Simon and his team for 2 years. Initially I used Absolute to rent my property. They were excellent and found me two tenants over the two years without any problems. Any little issues in relation to the maintenance of the property or servicing of utilities was dealt with efficiently and rapidly, At the same time I was also trying to sell the property and they continuously kept me updated in relation to market value fluctuations and trends. My property was promoted regularly to increase interest and they gave numerous showings. I was eventually made an offer and the sale went through within 6 weeks with the Absolute team keeping me regularly updated.. I would recommend them to any prospective landlord or vendor. Fantastic team all round - thank-you guys and girls.

Excellent professional service

Matheu, Simon, Frank & the team provided an excellent professional & friendly service from first contact to completion. The solicitors & purchaser were contacted regularly & we were kept fully informed during all stages of the process. Absolute went above & beyond our expectations visiting one of the vendors at home (they had broken their hip) to witness their signature & then delivering the completed contracts to the solicitors on the same day. I can not recommend them highly enough. Wishing Absolute Sales & Lettings continued sucess!! Many many thanks Debbie & family

Still early days, but impressed with the professionalism of the sales team. We had Matheu do a valuation of our two properties. We have now listed them with Absolute and have been very pleased with the service so far!
