Cancelled my viewing the morning of the viewing, knowing I was driving down from Reading to Torquay. Extraordinarily unprofessional.

Matt · 13 January 2026 · Absolute Sales & Lettings Torquay/Wellswood

Agent replied · 13 April 2026

Unfortunately we let the property over the weekend so the property was not available to view. I am sure that this property was not the only viewing you were travelling down for. We apologise but the alternative was to waste your time by going ahead with the viewing. We do not have your correspondence address on the system anyway so did not know where you were coming from for the viewing. We did offer you alternative properties to view which you declined.

Had a fantastic experience with this estate agent. They were professional, honest, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. Communication was always clear and prompt and always kept us updated. I’d happily use them again in the future and would recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy estate agent. Kate Harris and her team are brilliant!

From our very first viewing with Frank all the way through to our completion date, Absolute have been nothing short of fantastic. They guided us through every step of our first house purchase with professionalism, clear communication, and genuine care. Any questions we had were answered quickly, and we always felt supported and informed throughout the process. Buying our first home could have been stressful, but Absolute made it smooth and straightforward. We’re incredibly grateful for their help and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to buy a property

We hope you are immensely happy in your new home! If you ever need anything in the future, we’re always here to help.

I would definitely recommend Absolute for the efficient way they dealt with the sale of our property. Communication from all staff involved was very good, updates on progression via telephone calls and emails. Thank you for your professionalism.

5 * service from Absolute We’ve now been in our property for a couple of months and thought it was about time I left a review. Special mention to Shannon in particular- Shannon managed to get us booked in for a “pre market” viewing at a property that she felt we would love. She listened to our needs and recommended we see it. We listened and went along to the property as quickly as we could the same day without seeing pictures or anything. I’m so happy we did and I’m very grateful she recommended it to us. Thank you Shannon! Really happy with the service we received from start to finish. Thank you Absolute 😃

As a remote landlord it is important to have a letting agency who are proactive and responsive. Kate, Trishia and Macy have been really efficient in securing a good tenant and making sure they get looked after. Many thanks.

Many thanks Ian. Being an out-of-area Landlord certainly has its challenges, but as you say, with great management everything can run smoothly and successfully. It’s great to hear that you’ve been impressed by our proactive nature too. Kate, Trishia and Macy will be very grateful for your review!

I cannot recommend Absolute highly enough. Gary and his team at the Paignton office gave excellent service and attention to selling my property. Having had my house on the market with another estate agent for the first six months of the year with very few viewings, I switched to Absolute and my property got sold in the first week. Their marketing is amazing with beautiful photography done along with a 3D video tour. Viewings and offers were all done through an App which makes life a lot easier to keep track of activity and feedback from viewings was given immediately - no having to wait several days! All the team are friendly, knowledgeable, understanding of my situation and went above and beyond to give an all round fantastic service from start to finish. Not only were the sales team great, doing thorough research on the market to best advise how to price and market my property, but the sales progress team were also excellent in pushing my sale through and updating me every week on progress. 10/10 - would use Absolute again in a heart beat and recommend to any and all my friends/family in the Torbay area. Thank you for such a brilliant service.

Agent replied · 15 April 2026

Thank you so much for your amazing review Liz! We’re thrilled to hear Gary and the Paignton team helped get your home sold so quickly and that you loved our marketing and communication. We're really proud of how we present each and every home we market, and our 3D tours and pro photography are key to this. The buyer app is gold dust when it comes to communication - nothing gets missed and you're kept up to date at all times! Wishing you all the best in your new chapter, and thank you again for choosing Absolute! Please do recommend us to your friends and family ☺️

Everything was fine in the end but very lengthy. I am really not sure why these things take so long in the UK and it seems that there are so many interested parties (solicitors). I appreciate your office getting more than the revised asking price (£15000 extra) and I guess that is the most important thing for most people I would have preferred to have one point of contact rather than another team appointed to deal with the post offer processes. I was unsure who to contact at times and then one person left the company suddenly. However, having said this, I would recommend you. Thank you. Stuart

Stuart · 30 October 2025 · Absolute Sales & Lettings Torquay/Wellswood

Agent replied · 13 November 2025

Hi Stuart, Thanks for your review, as you say getting £15,000 more than the asking price would be most people’s main objective. We agree the UK system takes too long, we are no longer using an outsourced Sales Progression company, so we can have more control over staffing. We’re glad to hear that you would recommend us! Regards Simon
