Durden & Hunt Colchester reviews

★★★★★ 5/5

Google

We've recently relocated and found a lovely home to rent in Colchester. From the outset, Richard was great to deal with, and we quickly agreed to move forward with the rental. The referencing process had its challenges, as these things often do, but what really made all the difference was Samantha. She has truly been a lifeline throughout this process. Always available, extremely personable, funny, empathetic and incredibly responsive, being quick to resolve any questions or issues ... often within minutes!!! Her professional, calm and helpful approach took so much stress out of what has been a very hectic period for us, and thanks to her, we were even able to head off on holiday before the big move with complete peace of mind. Samantha genuinely deserves special recognition. She's amazing ... and without her support, we might have walked away from the rental altogether. I wish her all the best during her time off and hope to see her back in the office soon ... any team would be lucky to have her. Thank you again, Samantha!

My experience with Durden & Hunt first started when we meet Rich who's personality was infectious, he said that he would sale our house for the asking price and he deafently did..We was soon introduced to Lilly & Anya who showed perspective buyers our house ,they were very easy to talk to and very professional supplying us with valuable feedback on the viewings.We were then introduced to Amanda the amazing sale progresser who was always in contact, giving us advice ,keeping us upto date and sorting out any outstanding issues. Overall I sincerely reccomend Durden & Hunt Estate Agents in selling or lookjng to buy a property they are Simply the best .

Couldn’t recommend enough! I encountered quite a few issues relating to the sale of my property which was sold August 2025. Amanda took over my file in November when there was a lot of issues with my management company and all I can say is she is such a breath of fresh air compared to other estate agents we have encountered previously! She was compassionate, understanding but also very realistic and direct which allowed us to manage our expectations. She was even replying to emails in the evenings and always had an open line of communication with us! She went above and beyond and I can’t thank her enough for her honesty and perseverance because I honestly don’t think we would have completed!

Although the viewing didn’t bring any closure to our property search the whole experience was very pleasant Anya displayed all the attributes I would hope to see her knowledge of the property was 1st class we were made to feel comfortable in the property. The communication was on point and friendly I would recommend Durden & Hunt to anyone.

Durden & Hunt are not interested in creating a market for a property by allowing multiple interested parties to view the property, resulting in multiple competing offers. Instead they seem content to allow sellers to set the minimum offer requirement based on the seller's imagined value, rather than the actual value the market sets. Good luck!

I’ve worked with this estate agency as their property photographer for the past two years, and they’ve been consistently professional, organised, and great to collaborate with. They really care about presenting properties to a high standard and delivering the best results for their clients. Highly recommended.

I had a very positive experience dealing with Lily. She was very helpful, professional, and efficient in arranging my property viewing and finding a suitable alternative when the first property was no longer available. I really appreciate her support.

I had excellent experience when the Agent Anuya showed me several flats to rent. She worked overtime to assist me viewing flats that I may consider to rent.

We have decided to sell through Durden & Hunt. The attention to detail from James at the Colchester Office has been first class. I would highly recommend him and this company to my friends and family.

I’ve had the greatest experience with this company. I was in a rush to rent a flat in Colchester, when I called them, without much hope. I had a bad experience in the past. Richard, especially, was a great help. I called them about a different flat than I rented in the end. Richard had me viewing the flat through video call within ten minutes of me calling them. They managed to get everything in order specially for me in 3 days! The flat is great, in a very good condition, and in a great neighbourhood. I couldn’t be happier with them!
