Able Estates managed my property for many years, efficiently and helpfully. When it came time to sell, their sales team did all that could be asked, and the liaison between them and the property management team helped the whole transaction proceed as smoothly as possible. I would thoroughly recommend their services.

We had a great experience with Able estates. As first time buyers, we were really well taken care of, specially by Maria who were always so kindly answering our million questions and keeping us updated on everything! Would definitely recommend their services.

Able Estates have provided a great service, hinged on local knowledge and enthusiasm. They have been good a communicating and have helped to sell what was a shared ownership house leasehold on the open market as a freehold property. The service and stress free assistance was excellent and we would happily recommend them. They took good photo's, a great video and marketed the house very well. Thanks Ian and Peter!!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

As first-time property buyers with little to no knowledge of the process, Able Estate has been incredibly supportive, guiding us through each and every step, especially Maria Porter. The virtual tour, 3D map, and images available on their website were extremely helpful and made a big difference in our experience. We highly recommend Able Estate to anyone looking for a smooth and well-supported property buying journey.

We have had an excellent experience buying from Able estate. Ian was very professional and helped us through the process, liaising with us, our solicitors and the vendors solicitors to keep things moving which was very reassuring. The lettings team, especially Ruth, was then able to help bring the property onto the market and we have got a tenant sorted out already because of their swift and professional work.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

The agency is just fantastic or at least Ian is a fabulous ambassador for them. Ian, our letting agent helped us find our dream house, here in Abbey Wood and it was an absolute pleasure to work with him. He was the best letting agent by far. He was professional, funny and managed to sell us the area by putting all our concerns to rest. He strived to connect with us on a personal level which made the whole letting process pain free. The waiting time between putting an offer through to having the keys in our hands didn't take too long - 3 weeks, I would say. I would reccommend Able Estates.

I currently let my house through able estates. They manage the property for me and have done so for the past five years. The management team are fantastic I have the most wonderful tenants who look after my house and pay their rent on time every month. I use able to let my house as I have now used them to sell 3 homes for me plus I've bought one through them and each time I've found Peter and his team to be professional and friendly. I feel I receive a personal service that I have never experienced from any other agent . I would have no hesitation in recommending ables and have done so on many occasions

I recently purchased a property through Able Estates. I was dealt with primarily by Eddie through the negotiation phase as well as the exchange and completion phase. Eddie and his team did a great job with the back and forth negotiations for the rounds of offers and response. He was always very clear on the feedback that was being provided from the vendor as well as the feedback from the vendor’s solicitor. The entire Able Estates team was diligent not just for the sales but also to chase up with my mortgage broker and solicitor ensuring that every party involved was understood till the completion. Thanks for the professional service and I definitely recommend Able Estate 100%.

Hi Suen, Thank you so much for your positive feedback, its great to hear you had a pleasant experience buying through Able Estates & even better to know Eddie was a main player through your transaction.

We Placed our flat up for sales with Able Estates, they were very helpful and honest from the start and always on hand with any advice we needed. The service and communication was second to none and we feel like Eddie went above and beyond our expectations in pushing the sale through as it wasn't always straight forward. No matter when you call there is always someone to help you. Thank you Eddie & The Team for all your help, advice and putting us at ease. we will certainly and already have been recommending you to people we know. :)

We had an outstanding experience with Able estates. Maria's and Kevin's professionalism and attention to detail was exceptional. As a first-time homebuyer, we were quite nervous but we felt well guided through every step of the process, making it seamless and stress-free. They both went above and beyond by arranging multiple viewings at convenient times and providing detailed insights about each property. Thanks to both, we found our dream home. Having properties on additional platforms like YouTube was a plus as well.We highly recommend Able Estates for anyone looking for a reliable and dedicated estate agents.

This Agency is really bad! My partner and I went to view the flat in Abbey Wood and made an offer. we really love the flat and this was our number 1. Lisa the manager was our main contact told us a lot stories: "i cannot get hold of the landlord", "I left him voicemails and put a letter at his house", "maybe something happened to him", "he might be on holiday". 3 weeks later.. she came back "the landlord has reappeared". He wants to know about us!! Lisa has already all information about us... We again send us our information. 2 days later... she informed us that the landlord had bad experience with previous tenant who were black (not to mentioned my partner and I are black) and the landlord might wants to sell his property.. In the afternoon she called us to inform the landlord decided to go ahead to sell the property. We have been looking on property and noticed the flat was still on offer and one month and half later has been let!!!!! My sister called to make to arrange a viewing after Lisa told us all these stories and Lisa send her information and could arrange a view!!!

Jennyfer · 7 July 2017

Agent replied · 6 July 2023

I would like to comment that the so called “stories” were actually what happened, as I didn’t know why the Landlord was not responding and our usual practice is to exhaust every possible means by telephone, emails and dropping a note through the door, and I was keeping the tenant fully informed of my efforts to try and contact him. It was approximately 3 weeks that the Landlord finally made contact apologising as he had been abroad and thought he had told us, I informed him that I had interested tenants that had been waiting to take the property, the Landlord advised me that he was now thinking of selling but if I could get some more information from them he would let me know, he then came back to me saying he was going to sell afterall (nothing to do with the applicants or their colour as he is not Caucasian himself) but he would be financially better to do so in his current predicament. A few weeks/month later he informed me his circumstances had changed and he was going to now let it afterall so it went back on the market and indeed was let. We were acting on behalf of our client and in our opinion did nothing ‘bad’. Further point to note is that the sister would not have been offered the property if being “black” was an issue, as the above comment by the tenant seems to imply. Lisa Walsh. Lettings Manager.

I had Able Estates value my parents house recently. I was really impressed with their local pricing knowledge and found them extremely professional and courteous. Will definitely use them when we come to sell.

What a great service we received form Able Estates. Ian and the team live and work in Abbey Wood, they know the area and the market which resulted in multiple viewings and two offers within the first week. One of which we accepted at the full asking price. Superb result, Thank you very much. Ian and Bernadette.

Able Estates have been brilliant. The whole process of buying our first house was made much easier thanks to Kevin, Sue and Maria. They were always prompt to reply and happy to help with communication between buyer and seller. We’ll definitely be recommending Able Estates to friends and family.

After receiving a very poor service through another local letting agent, I thought I'd give Able's Estates a try. I can honestly say that their customer service & professionalism in dealing with the letting out of my house was absolutely brilliant. I dealt with Peter & Dawn who were on hand to give the best advice & found lovely tenants for me. I would certainly recommend Them to anyone & will happily use them again.

We used Able to deal with the sale of our late mums house. They were very professional and understanding of the fact the property had been in the family for over 54 years and it was going to be a wrench, especially on the back of losing our mum. They showed prospective buyers around for us and kept us in the loop. Also very patient with us during a very emotional time. I would use Able again.

Can't fault Able Estates in any department in the marketing of our property. Peter and Ian were professional, friendly and followed through at every stage, including keeping solicitors on their toes. Very impressed, in particular at their fair and easy-to-read one page contract, unlike the onerous conditions imposed by a well-known chain of estate agents that we also approached. Recommended without hesitation.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value
