GoogleAbsolutely fabulous team at Abbotts. Couldn't be happier. They are always friendly and helpful and take the time to listen to you, on the phoen or in person, which is very important with such a big decision as buying a house.
I would happily recommend them to all of my friends and family.
Special shout-out to the Steves - Steven Bond who has been the most helpful and happy estate agent I could have hoped for (and makes a great cup of tea!), and Steven Huff who is a great mortgage advisor and didn't mind my multitide of questions and calls.

GoogleWe have finally made the decision to buy a house. We knew that we will need a professional advice for the mortgage, so after a little look around we decided to use Abbotts and Stephen Huff. The whole process was very smooth and everything was explaining to us to the last detail. Another benefit of using Abbotts is that their mortgage advisor is part of countrywide and they offer solicitors too.
We just want to say thank you, to Stephen and the whole team at Abbotts Downham Market.

GoogleAfter making a sudden decision to sell my property, who else would I choose but the trusted team at Abbotts Downham.
From Instruction to completion in 8 weeks they took the stress and sleeplessness away from the usual moving mayhem.
I cannot thank the team enough for the seamless service they provided and for all the hard work they put in. Unlike some other agents, when my usual contact was on holiday, the other members of the team stepped up and handled all of my queries and kept the sale moving forward.
Thank you for all of your hard work.

GoogleAfter my parents passed away I had to sell their property. I contacted Abbotts in Downham Market and I found them to be very helpful, understanding and professional from beginning to end.
The house sold within a week but unfortunately the buyer dropped out due to a very long 28 week probate wait. However, the day probate was granted I instructed Abbotts to put the house back on the market and it was sold in under 48 hours.
I dealt mainly with Steven Bond and he was the star of the show, nothing was too much trouble for him.

GoogleI instructed Abbotts to sell my late mother's property in Downham Market and was very impressed with the service and professionalism provided by Samantha Armstrong. Sam came to value the property initially and managed to achieve an asking price offer from the first couple who viewed it.
I can't praise Sam and her colleague, Steven, highly enough and I have no hesitation in recommending their service to anyone thinking of selling their home.

GoogleMe and my partner were going through the process of buying our perfect first home through Abbott’s, we viewed the house and put in an offer for the asking price which was accepted the same day! We were over the moon until I received a call 5 days later saying we had been gazzumped and our offer had then been declined. We felt completely unsupported by Abbott’s, as first time buyers we are pretty clueless on any processes, to be told on the phone by Greg “we’re giving you the opportunity to put in a higher offer” like they were doing me a favour. Unfortunately, we couldn’t afford to go any higher. I know gazzumping isn’t illegal, but any reputable company would not have put so much pressure on anxious first time buyers to make such a quick decision on thousands of pounds with little to no support in a matter of minutes. Hope we never have to deal with these immoral estate agents again.NegativeProfessionalism

GoogleWe had the pleasure with working with these estate agents for the sale of our home last year. Even though i can assume that it was a very busy time for them, we always felt like we were the only customers. All the agents were responsive, proactive, and no matter who you spoke with, they knew our property and the situation. From the first visit/evaluation with Ollie, to Ms. Armstrong regularly following up and chasing up last minute details that were holding up exchanges, this team was amazing! Thank you for all of your hard work to make the sale of our home as stress free as possible.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value
