Do not fall for their sales pitch

Do not fall for their sales pitch. They were the only estate agents that wanted to charge a £149 upfront fee even though i provided them with professional photos. They told me they had a specific buyer lined up for my property. Months later and not 1 viewing. They now ignore my emails and even though my contract is for multi agent, have told me I will have to pay a their fee if another agent sells in the next 2 years. AVOID USING THIS COMAPNY

Really helpful team from the first contact. To accommodating viewing times to alerting to available properties and to giving mortgage advice. I have found the experience of being a first time buyer quite exasperating but the team, Hannah in particular have a guided me through the process. Happy customer, thank you!

We recently purchased a property and were extremely pleased with the service that we received from Hannah and the rest of the team. She made the process a lot less stressful and enjoyable. I cannot point out enough how Happy we were with abbots Watton service. Big thank you!!

Very good customer service. They made our first new house purchase as least stressful as possible. Not one of these estate agents that mess you around they do their job properly and professionally.

Helpful and pleasant team. Happy to go the 'extra mile' for their clients. Clearly a sound and very professional team.

Wouldn't use them if there was only one Estate Agent...in the world.

I have previously put my property on the market with Abbotts. Firstly, they were not very good listeners at all. They wouldn't listen to comments about how I knew my house after living there for around a decade (at the time) & when it comes to photographs (on Rightmove) apparently less is more according to them. I eventually removed the property from the market unsold but they had the cheek to ring me one day & TELL ME that I needed to put it back on again with them. They are very corporate, money focused & employ high-pressure generic employees (like them) I get a letter almost EVERY WEEK now it is back on the market again telling me that it's time to list with them. If it feels wrong then don't do it.

So very Bad.

So very bad. When a company insists that a potential buyer prove their monetary situation even before viewing a property, let alone getting to the point of making an offer, it is not only pointless, rude and disrespectful to those who go to them to view a property, but more importantly, does a huge disservice to the people who go to them to sell their property. I assume they are so flooded with sales that they can afford to act in that way on behalf of their clients. Monetary verification comes at a later date once an offer has been made. It's like walking into an auto showroom and proving your bank balance prior to looking! A crazy bad business policy that in this case may have lost a sale for their client.

Unacceptable service

If you are looking to rent a property or planning to let your property like I did then you must avoid this company.Abbotts was managing my property and the entire experience was very very bad. This company has been failing me on every level and I have been very disappointed. My property was left uninhabitable following the tenancy causing great financial burden for me. The tenancy ended 7 months ago and I am still waiting for return of deposit and closure of my books. I have not seen anything as unprofessional and self centred. Please avoid at all cost.

The team at Abbotts went the extra mile when we where experiencing a very difficulty purchase. They are always helpful, accommodating and dealt with any queries promptly ,plus keeping us informed and up-to-date with the progress of our purchase . We would always recommend them!

The staff at the Watton branch were helpful, professional and sympathetic throughout the whole process of selling my property. I would have no hesitation in recommending Abbott’s to anyone looking for the services of an Estate Agent.

We were really happy with the service provided by Abbotts - right from the first valuation visit from Stuart Tricker, through to dealing with Hannah Grist and Janette Etheridge. They were always friendly, prompt and professional - wouldn't hesitate to recommend

This was the first time i have moved on my own since my husband died, and they couldn't have been more helpful. They guided me through every stage and were so patient with me. I would recommend them to anyone.

Came here to see Jonathan to remortgage as a returning customer, Professional service every time and really easy to understand. Didn't take long to sort out and knew I was in good hands and didn't have to worry about anything.

The whole process with Abbotts has been a pleasure. In fact they went above and beyond to reassure us through the transaction as our agent was less than helpful. We cannot praise the Watton team highly enough. Gold seal service

Sold our house with Abbotts 3 years ago, an efficient service, they are determined and professional salespeople, which is what you need. More recently though had a meeting with their mortgage man, Jonathan, who I can’t recommend enough for his knowledge and range of products. I shop around and have met lots of advisors, but he quickly assimilated our situation and pointed us in exactly the right direction, neither condescending or pushy.

Everyone at Abbotts Watton branch have been very supportive throughout the whole process. This is why i choose to go for a high street agent and not on line. For the individual supoort, communication and advice.

Unsolicited mail received from Abbott's…

Unsolicited mail received from Abbott's Kings Lynn.They cannot even sell a property similar to mine up the road, but they are quite happy to tout for my business.They search for property addresses from online estate agents because they know their days are numbered. They then promise the earth when in fact they are just parasites who are no better than any other high street estate agent. Avoid at all costs......

Brilliant experience with Abbotts in Watton. Very helpful, friendly and proactive. The best experience of an agent I've ever had in the property market, and in very difficult conditions too. Thank you.
