GoogleAlex Skellett from the Cambridge branch has restored my faith in estate agents. Our paths crossed three years ago when she stepped into the chain to cover the inadequacies of our estate agents at the time. She went beyond the call of duty to hold the chain together. Because of this I have Chosen to sell my current home through Abbott’s. She has further exceeded our already high expectations. She is a true professional and her knowledge and experience is second to none. A great advocate for her clients, abbotts and her industry. I cannot sing her praises high enough.

GoogleTerrible rental service. Unprofessional and rude. No customer service, problems viewing properties when it was arranged and then nobody showed up as they had cancelled but just sent an email. When we did finally get a viewing, Jessica seemed uninterested, careless and trying to charge us the earth. To say we were unimpressed was an understatement. It was like she didnt want us to view and was wasting her time. Put us off renting via an agent as this is the second time we've had issues. Beware of this agent!

GoogleMy experience with Abbotts has been consistently miserable:
1. I wanted to arrange a viewing (to buy) at a property in Girton and was told that I would have to wait 3 weeks as the tenants were away. When I arrived at the appointment I found that the property had been sold during that time!
2. Before looking for properties to buy, we let a property through Abbotts. They initially quoted fees of over £600 to photocopy a tenancy agreement, more than double of any of their competitors. When challenged they reduced the fees to £300, still more than their competitors. I hate to think that people actually fall for this.
3. As a part of the fees we paid for a moving in inventory. We were pressed to sign a document saying that we had seen this and agreed to it. When I asked to see it I was given an OLD inventory and finally the agent confessed to having forgeten to arrange it! By this point we were already moved in so the subsequent inventory was redundant, leaving both the landlord and us exposed.
Abbotts, in my opinion, are an unpleasant combination of greedy and incompetent. I will not view any properties that they advertise and I make my feeling known to everyone I know. This industry needs an overhaul.

GoogleA fantastic service provided from start to finish. Forever friendly, welcoming and professional staff who were thorough but never pushy. The whole process of selling my old house was super smooth with no headaches. Even after more than 6 months after completion I am still receiving a great service including having any post forwarded on to my new address.

GoogleAbbotts (Cambridge) recently sold a house for us under very difficult circumstances -- a falling retirement homes market hit by Covid. They kept going, despite the difficulties, until they succeeded. We were very impressed by their professionalism, under their manager Sam Bendall, and by the very good way that they treated us. We would recommend them to anyone.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value
