GoogleSpencer has guided us through the process of letting our property with tenants and the sale of our property. We have been extremely happy with his efficiency, knowledge and professional approach and would highly recommend him to anyone.

GoogleThe very first thing abode did was lie to us about the white goods in the house we were about to rent costing us hundreds of pounds in rentals.
The property they rented us was not fit to live in and was, quite literally, crumbling away. Abode did not care despite us reporting issues several times. The only time the appeared to notice was when we were moving out and they inspected the property without our knowledge and suggested we were at fault. It was the worst experience of renting I have ever had and I once shared a student house with some slugs.
Abode are so incompetent that after we moved out they refunded us our deposit twice. If we had made this mistake we would have been charged a fee. But somehow this doesn't apply to Abode and they can make make many errors without penalty.
If you are unlucky enough to rent a property through Abode remember to write down every little issue. If you are looking for someone to manage your property, run away very fast. They're utterly useless.
In response to Spencers comments - I am bewildered to what you mean by the personal help you provided - we never even met you and if the service we received was supposed to have been over and above your regular service then I dread to think how bad this would be. Sam showed us round the property we rented and misinformed us about the white goods.
The loose tiles were non urgent however they were never repaired while we were in the property. The reason for tiles being loose was a massive damp issue in the kitchen causing the kitchen wall to crumble into our food and drink. This was urgent from our point of view. This was never dealt with.
Let's not forget that the double refund of the money was your error and something you were not aware of (nor were we) for 6 weeks after you paid it. We did refund the money but took an admin fee, exactly as you would have done. Just because you have the protection of a contract and we do not only highlights that fact that you can make multiple errors and not have to pay any penalty seeing as you admitted that this is not the first time you've done this.
The timing of this review is pure exasperation as to our whole experience with your company as it was dreadful.NegativeQuality, Professionalism, Value

Good Afternoon Sian, the landlord attended to your property to repair the loose tiles reported by yourselves, this was done in as timely a manner as possible given the lockdowns and the none urgent nature of loose tiles. Following their repair we heard no further issues from yourself. I would also like to remind you as to the personal help I provided in you obtaining this short term rental property. It must be a coincidence that this rating has appeared following our lengthy attempts to retrieve the double refund of your security deposit, with the ultimate necessity of having to threaten small claims action to retrieve the miss paid amount. I and the team at Abode wish you all the best for the future. Kind Regards Spencer.

Tyler in particular was superb - from the initial viewing stage, until the final notice date, she made communication clear, offered advice, and was very quick to respond to any queries we had.

GoogleAbode is an extra ordinary house agent with a picture of moral decadence. Operating with a godly behaviour. An excellent mastery of the job.

GoogleSpencer’s attention to detail was absolutely excellent and we are so grateful for all his hard work in getting our sale over the line. He truly went over and above what was expected in terms of continuously updating us of any progress and calling around all other estate agents and solicitors involved in the chain. We cannot speak highly enough of Spencer.

GoogleI have been looking for a shop to let in royston, in two occasions, Spencer and Laura showed me two different shops, they have been extremely professional and friendly. Helped me with lots of details. Down to heart really good agency. To be honest, i was not used to this before, especially with north london or other hertfordhsire agencies are always angry and treats you like rubbish once they hear you are a small new business.
