GoogleWe could not of ask for a better service from Daniella. She has been in touch with us and supported us every step of the way. I thought this was going to be a really difficult and painful process but that hasn’t been the case. I would have no problems recommending Abbots to anyone. Thank you again for all your help and support.

GoogleWorst Letting agent ive ever encountered!! Staff are rude, unhelpful, no one seems to know what is going on and never return calls. Gave up and rented the same house through another local agent who were also renting it. Their service was amazing and ive told the house owner so he doesn't make the mistake of using abbotts again, Id give you zero stars if I could

TrustpilotThey don't ever repair anything fast
Whenever you need to have a repair done they just take forever to sort it out and sometimes I have had to just do it myself like the time my 4yo daughter window on our ground floor flat wouldn't close properly letting in freezing temperatures into her room. Or the time water was leaking out under the sink and constantly having to empty a bucket for weeks. They honestly don't give a dam about the people renting from them.

TrustpilotAbsolutely no communication
I went for a flat viewing. It was conducted by a lovely, knowledgable woman. Afterwards, I had some questions I'd like answered and left an email. I got a call the next day promising I'd get my answers. 3 weeks later, nothing. I've left an email and 2 voice messages. I've also discovered the flat is now up for rent, which begs the question has it actually been sold, and the new owners are renting. In that case, why is the flat still up for sale, and why did no one have the decency to let me know. They're lovely at the beginning of the process, but once you actually want to get involved in the process, absolutely nothing from them.EDIT: After contacting customer support, I finally got an answer, that was apologetic.

TrustpilotI would give 0 if I could
I would give 0 if I could. Absolutely disgusted with the service and no one seems to care. I selected the full management fee as I am heavily pregnant and did not want to have to deal with the management of letting my property. So far all I have done is have to make phone calls, chase incompetent people up or arrange things myself. Have yet to see any invoices despite requesting them, have been lied to about dates work has been completed, work carried out without any authorisation for the cost from myself… the list goes on. 34 weeks pregnant and horrifically stressed.

GoogleI am happy to give Gemma a five star rating for the very professional service she has provided for me and my partner as Landlords. With her help, advice and negotiational skills she turned around a difficult situation for us quickly and efficiently. She is reliable, thorough, honest and works very hard at her job, going the extra mile for her clients.

TrustpilotTENANTS BEWARE
TENANTS BEWARE. Negligent agents facilitating shady landlords to rip off tenants. Landlords left the rental property truly filthy (covered in hair, mud up the walls, bins full of refuse etc) and they didn't move out on time - they were still there and had belongings in the rental after I'd started paying rent. Still left out of pocket for cleaning costs on my way into the rental. I was left without a full set of keys, leaving parts of the property unsecured. Abbotts simply emailed me advising nothing was going to be done about it. Total charlatans, the Fawlty Towers of letting agents. Hugely stressful dealing with an office of lying, defensive agents who refused to actually manage the property. Landlord now attempting to unfairly deduct money from deposit and will have to take to court to resolve the matter. Please avoid like the plague. I paid my rent 3 months in advance - £4,500 at a time and was treated appallingly. Still waiting for an apology despite having sent in a formal written complaint. Their professionalism and morality = zero.

Only interested in one thing, making money.zero customer service and deduct money from the rent due to the landlord for any and every reason they can think of. Do not deal with any issues for tenants or landlords. Do not replay to emails.

I would give a 0 if I could.This is the worst company I have ever been involved with.I rented my property in January 2021,First time so I required guidance so had them manage the property.I paid £90 amonth, for nothing.I could never get hold of anyone they failed to support with any emergency or maintenance work.They did not inspect the property , they said they did but I do not believe this was done.Then the day the Tennant's vacated no one spoke to me about check outI had no report.I collected my keys this Saturday and found my house in an awful state furniture outside my house, completely overgrown, dog poo in the garden , scuffs on the wall, fake tan on my rugs, didn't even put the furniture back.The worst thing is they are selling my house and Abbotts have been carrying out viewings it like that! I was embarrassed and mortified.Worst service ever, emotionally draining.Avoid at all cost.My house will be pulled from there service tomorrow.

I am writing to confirm the withdrawal of our offer for the purchase of the above premises.From the outset your service has been nothing short of appalling, firstly you neglected to mention in any of your sale advertisements that this property is a 'listed building', you also didn’t mention that this premises is in a conservation area, the first we knew of these very important details was when our own solicitor informed us some weeks into negotiations!Your customer service is nonexistent, even today (like on so many previous occasions - for example last Thursday - no return call) (today is Tuesday) you haven’t returned my call.You have left me no alternative other than to seek a purchase elsewhere with a reputable agent.In order that others may be deterred, and not subjected to such a horrendous experience - which has resulted in a significant cost to me, I am sending a copy of this email to your head office to advise them how you run your branch!!

We had a terrible experience trying to sell our house through Abbotts. We finally gave up after it transpired that Abbotts had advised the builder of the new build that we wished to purchase to put the price of the new build up by over £40k (even though we had already paid a substantial retention for the new build). Abbotts weren’t even the builders agent. We felt totally betrayed. We raised a complaint with the area manager Stephen Rivett who said he would investigate and get back to us within 14 days. Surprise surprise, we never heard any more from him. If estate agents ever want to improve their reputations they need to stop unethical practices and accept that proper regulation needs to be put in place.
