Abbotts King's Lynn Sales reviews

After a few initial problems because of a staffing issue, I was very pleased with the tenant that Abbotts then found for me. It took a little while but they fulfilled my remit and obtained me a very good market rental. The staff that I spoke too were really friendly. The inventory and meter readings were very efficient. Statements are clear. I did have to follow up on final bills myself, even though it was fully managed, as companies had not heard from the tenant direct and I found that a bit surprising as I expected this to be handled really. Mine was a furnished place and another local agent had been really worried he could not find the right person, so Abbotts did well. I am very grateful. I would recommend them.

The Mildenhall branch I had rented my property thru for years lost or mislaid a contract for a period that I had to pay the Council Tax of some £400 for when it should have been the tenant they were paid the management fee for the period in question but even after calls to them over the months they have not paid me back it is appalling DO NOT USE THEM

Lensey is highly professional and she good customer relationship. The first day I met Lensey I knew she was going to deliver a good accomodation to us. Our experience with Abbott's was awesome. We were offered a satisfactory service from day one. Thanks to team Abbott. We love you.

Initially great experience finding and setting up a rented flat with Abbotts. Issues arose when trying to request deposit to be paid back after the lease ended. This took over 2 months and required myself to call and email countless times …

I decided to rent my property through Abbotts Kings Lynn after no luck with a previous agent. Both Gemma & Lynsey were brilliant in listing the property so quickly and securing a let within two days on the market. Both have been very professional with answering calls and emails resolving any queries. Thank you for your help!PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

The worst house rental company ever. They promised the house would be unfurnished, yet every room is filled with furniture that the landlord refuses to remove. I can't use one of the rooms at all because the child's cot doesn't fit; an old, unsightly sofa occupies more than half of the space. Shockingly, they didn't even bother to remove a wine bottle and the previous tenant's tie left next to the sofa. The walls are dirty, and the house is in disarray, contrary to their assurance that the house would be in perfect condition. For £1400 a month for a 3-bedroom house in King's Lynn, I received only 2 usable rooms and another room that I can't use at all, in a house that is dirty with stains on the walls everywhere.Very disappointed. Don't believe in the positive reviews. I chose to pay more because the agency had good reviews, and I expected better service. Unfortunately, I was wrong. My agent was Lynsey Godfrey, and I will probably have to take this issue to the housing ombudsman as a last resort.

Couldn't be happier with the service I've received from Abbotts, particularly with Suzie. We were shown a property a few weeks back that unfortunately we didn't get but she told us that she would keep us in mind if anything came up and would give us a call right away and she did. She helped us every step of the way, kept me calm and helped me stay positive when I stressed about not finding a home. Very kind hearted, helpful person. Would definitely recommend

I would like to commend Kerry Gilboy for her professionalism and patience to date in advising me how best to deal with a recalcitrant tenant who will not vacate the property even though the lease is up. Kerry has explained Abbotts’ letting policies clearly and is a pleasure to work with especially as trying to market my property for rental given the intransigence of the tenant has been frustrating and has caused her considerable inconvenience in terms of travel and time wasted. Her professionalism is exemplary and she has been calm and reassuring in the face of these difficulties.

I engaged Abbotts Letting Agents in Kings Lynn to seek a long term tenant for my house. After 10 days a couple were found. Gemma and Lynsey were very professional, knowledgeable and discreet. They kept me fully informed on a daily basis. I cannot thank and praise them enough.

This review is for the lettings department. Although in my opinion there were unnecessary problems encountered initially, I'm happy to forget those and give 5 stars. Gemma is a great mananager and the recent member of the team Carla could not have been more professional, friendly, polite and helpful. The whole team did their level best to accommodate from start to finish. Thank you.

Big thanks to Abbotts, especially Holly for being responsive, patient and friendly through the viewing process! She took the stress out of a generally stressful process and was great at responding to our questions. The properties offered by Abbotts are lovely, highly recommend!

I was very pleased with how helpful Abbott was as a company throughout the entire process, especially Jodie Gray!! She stood out for me, very hard working and dedicated and pulled all stops to make sure everything was sorted irrespective of the difficulties with Covid. I would highly recommend Abbott and especially Jodie. She is a plus to the company.

I would never recommend the lettings side of Abbotts in kings lynn. We rented a property from them, lovely at first once you have moved in and they have their money. They let the property to us with toilet seats hanging off, the property had not been cleaned, hardly any lights worked and the carpets looked liked they had never been cleaned since the house had been built.moving out is also a terrible experience with them. We terminated our tenancy one month early however we had paid our full tenancy up front. we are still being sent bills for the property 5 months after handing the keys into them and being told we are expected to pay for them. The property was left empty and we had no access to it. The staff are very unhelpful and rude when you finally get hold of them.The landlord attempted to keep the full amount of our deposit however we had to fight for this as we had left the property in better condition than when we moved in. Again Abbotts didn’t help with this and we had to approach deposit protection agency after looking into this further. It’s seems that this branch are after their targets rather than customer care. I would never use this company again!!! If your looking to rent through them, be careful they are on the landlords side for repeat business and they are only interested in getting you into the property after that it feels like your on your own.

Absolutely awful when dealing with shared ownership! Traveled an hour and 20 minutes each way to an appointment to be told I'd be better off renting and the property I went for was going to the highest share offer... could have been told this on the phone! Several weeks and several applications for other properties and no call backs or follow through with appointments from abbots. Tried a different estate agents and got approved to purchase instantly! Turns out if you don't want a mortgage or someone comes in with bigger share purchase you don't stand a chance! Terrible for shared ownership Terrible for communication Just Terrible!

Absolutely Shocking, uncaring and unprofessional Service - These guys seemed so kind and professional until we had a health issue that meant our proposed tenancy couldn’t begin. We gave ample time too. Despite writing a letter of explanation we received NOTHING! No acknowledgment, no letter of understanding, no wishing us well on our road to recovery, NOTHING! - All I can say is this was a shock to us and a big disappointment. I have included the letter I wrote below so you can judge for yourself whether we deserved being ignored! Is this really the service we deserved? ..,……………………………………… Good afternoon Suzie, I hope you are well. It’s not been going so great this end I’m afraid. We’ve both encountered more health issues and the surgeon who administered xxxxxx last injection has recommended, after examination, that for his own safety he should not attempt to do anything with his arm for fear of causing irreparable damage. This therefore has major implications for our plans. Furthermore I have been suffering from pins and needles and numbness in my foot and fingers and extreme back ache which the surgeon has said is due to the extra pressures since xxxxxxx incapacity - and to make matters worse, I’ve been advised to avoid lifting anything heavy to avoid further damage to my spine! In light of the above and being mindful of the promises we made to yourself and to the landlord in regards to keeping the property in top ‘viewing’ condition, we feel that this is something we can no longer achieve and promise. We’re not able to hire a van or arrange any furniture let alone construct even a bed frame - to say the least. We do not want to cause detriment to the landlord’s quest of finding a buyer for his lovely bungalow and therefore, to give the landlord the best chance of a sale in this climate, we have decided that this task should be passed on to a tenant who is in better shape, health wise to present the property in the best way possible. It’s with a very heavy heart that I write this Suzie as we were both so extremely looking forward to beginning our brief tenancy at the bungalow but we are very honest, open and responsible and don’t want to promise something to the landlord that we simply can’t fulfill. We’ve been stressing about tidying up for an urgent, last minute viewing and knowing how difficult it is to even pick up a cup, fills us both with worry and anxiety. On a more positive level, at least we are still a few weeks away from the original intended commencement of the tenancy and you didn’t waste time sending out contracts. Please send our sincere apologies to the landlord who I would hope understands that our decision was not taken lightly but was taken with his best interests at heart. Xxxxx feels his rehabilitation should be at home with his bother as the rehabilitation could prove to be quite an extended period of up to 18 months for the injury to heal. You have been a real treasure throughout the short process so far Suzie and we’ve had some great conversations. You are definitely a rare find in this day and age and we both appreciate all you’ve done for us. We totally understand if our holding deposit is something we have to forfeit but if the landlord understands that our decision is primarily based on his position to effectively sell the bungalow, then I would like to hope he would not decide to retain our deposit. Once again Suzie, thank you for everything. We can’t express how nice it’s been dealing with you and it would be a pleasure if we were able to secure a house purchase or tenancy in the future - maybe you’d even find us our dream bungalow? In the meantime we are being sensible and putting our health first even if it means letting go of the lovely bungalow. Kindest regards, ……………………………………………… To this date, we received no email, no call or any communication following the letter we sent and to this day, it still makes me extremely sad that the relationship I thought we’d developed over a few weeks was nothing more than fake.

I had the pleasure of working with Harrison with my first house purchase. He was an absolute star in explaining everything to me and helping me to digest the ins and outs of buying a home! Nothing was too much trouble for him. He would also call and email when he said he would and helped me get a great deal in such a crazy time for buyers. He helped me push my solicitor and even called on his days off to make sure I have everything I needed. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to friends and family and of course I would ask for Harrison! He's worth his weight in gold!
