GoogleWe just purchased our first home with Abbotts and I honestly can’t speak highly enough of Eve. We were having issues with communication with our solicitors, I mentioned it to Eve and she kept me in the loop with everything from both sides by cc’ing me in emails and giving me regular calls. I’d use Abbotts again in a heartbeat just because of how great she was! Thanks you Eve & Abbotts team! :) x

GoogleI cannot thank Rhesa enough for all the help she has provided in helping me find a new home! She went above and beyond to make sure I got the home I so badly wanted even on her days off she called me to keep me in the loop and she processed all the necessary referencing in more then a timely manner meaning I heard back same day! Thank you so much Rhesa! I appreciate everything you have done for me and my family x

GoogleRhesa and Sydni were so lovely and helpful throughout the whole process of us finding a home to rent. We hadn’t had the best experience with another estate agents in the area but this experience with abbotts Rayleigh has been so different. It’s such a nice feeling to speak with estate agents that are seem genuinely happy for you and want to make the renting process as easy as possible. Thank you both so much for all of your help💕

GoogleI cannot speak highly enough of Rhesa, she has been so helpful since our first meeting in the office. Rhesa kept me informed every step of the way ( even on her days off ) ensuring the process went as smoothly as possible. She found the perfect tenant very quickly.
So, if you are looking for an agent who makes renting your property a smooth process be sure to ask Rhesa for some guidance, you won't be disappointed!

GoogleSydnie is me and my partners estate agent - its the first time me and my partner are renting our own flat. I have to say how efficient, patient and caring she has been. I'm very thankful to god for sending her as our estate agent. She treats you as a friend not a number and we need more people with her soul in this world we live in today. Thankyou Sydnie xxx

★★★★★ 5/5
GoogleI absolutely loathe moving house, but with the right agent, the whole ordeal becomes infinitely smoother. A little hiccup cropped up along the way, yet Peter went above and beyond to sort it out. In the end, everything fell into place once Peter wisely enlisted Sydni’s help.
Sydni, you’ve completely won me over, we simply must have dinner (purely professional, of course). My apologies for making you momentarily forget your own name, and Peter, I’m equally sorry for somehow rendering you incapable of using keys!
Thank you both for everything, you turned a stressful move into a surprisingly memorable adventure.

GoogleEdit- this review was taken down temporarily, due to abbots reporting it, despite it being a fair and just review. They are upset that their ai photos dont look good, and somebody called them out! Although my 1 star is not only for the ai photos, as they know.
I could tell you a million reasons as to why this company is the worst letting agency out there, but I will keep it short. Unprofessional workers who treat you awful, and bully you. Peter I will never forget your rudeness, even though they moved you to a different branch, instead of firing you. You are evil and attempt to make tenants lives worse. I do not say this lightly. They also use ai photos to advertise for real properties (making the outside of the house look brand new when in real life, it is crumbled and overgrown). This is clearly a bad choice because you are falsely advertising properties, by enhancing them and making them look significantly more done up and clean than they are. Definitely avoid, if you can!
I will also add that the fact they tried to hide my review, surely says alot. They know they have done wrong yet they will not correct it. A completely dishonest, disrespectful company. Go diggins or something, at least they use real images of the properties, and dont try to scam you.
Pictures attatched are some clear ai images used for one of their properties. If you cannot tell, take a moment to look and it will become obvious. The lamp? The weird kitchen decor? Not to even mention that they have completely erased all the peeling wallpaper, the real floor, etc, everything in these images is fake. This is outrageous. (Also weird photo of ai jesus?)

GooglePeter and Nelle from the Rayleigh letting team have been nothing but helpful and supportive in finding a tenant for my mum's flat in Southend. When the first potential tenant pulled out a week before their move in date, the team managed to find a new tenant for the property, completed the referencing check and sent over a new tenant agreement, all within 48 hours!! Impressive is an understatement! I would highly recommend them if you want to have a hassle-free experience 😊

GoogleI can not make any complaint concerning Abbotts Sales as they managed to work around our own hours of viewing without question.
The person who dealt with everything was a Hannah Brown who tried to make everything easier for us with the viewing itself. She was very helpful and we do honestly appreciate all that she done for us.
I do recommend this company and especially having Hannah to assist with your purchase of future home.
Thank you Hannah :-)
