Absolute Sales and Lettings were an absolute pleasure to deal when purchasing our house in Brixham. Sam and Lewis were always really helpful and kept the communication going throughout the whole process. Would highly recommend!!

Rhiannon has been selfless while delivering her duty. She has displayed time consciousness and dedication which gives her mega star.

Their assistance is really poor. My partner and I have been looking for a rental place. We sent the request and then we filled out the briefing history. After that no a call no a message from them. I sent to them the request to viewing couple of property on the 11.08.22. I also called them and the lady over the phone say that she received the briefing history and she will have a look to it. 1 week after I am still waiting for a answer. This behaviour you do no found with others agency. Bradley or others agency seems interested to theirs job and they try to make their best to get you to viewing the property. Assolute Agency Do not contact them they will waste your time!

Dear Francesca, There is a record demand for rental properties, we receive in excess of 50 enquiries for most properties we advertise and can only book viewings for 4-6 potential tenants at a time. If you are not successful in being in that initial group we simply don’t have the time to call back the other 40 applicants as we then have to switch our focus on the next property that our landlords have employed us to let. If the first block viewing does not result in us finding a suitable tenant we then contact another 4-6 people and continue to do so until we secure a tenant. We have an extra staff member starting with us at the end of the month to help us with the demand but with a lack of rental properties across the market generally it shows no sign of easing. Those agents with more time to call everyone back may well have less properties available to rent, according to Rightmove stats we let the most properties in Torbay each year. It is always disappointing when someone who has not actually been a client of ours reviews us negatively purely because demand is so high. Simon Fisher Founding Director NOTE: 3 reviews posted on Google to date and all 1*, it shows a pattern.

Posting on behalf of my parents: Now that the moving is complete and the dust has settled we just wanted to thank you and all your team for the excellent way in which you handled the sale of our flat for us. It felt as if nothing was too much trouble, and we very much appreciated your guidance and willingness to get things done.

From start to finish the most professional estate agency we have worked with in the Torbay and surrounding areas. Really attentive and "on the ball" team of people who made the whole stressful situation of buying a new home as easy as it possibly could be. We would have no hesitation in recomending them to anyone in fact we have already done so to a number of people. Thanks for everything you did on our purchase to make it as smooth and painless that you did.PositiveProfessionalism

Thanks Simon, Chelsey and all the team at Absolute. The media like to make a meal out of bad landlords, but can't thank you enough for sorting out problematic tenants. You re-let our property within a day of it becoming vacant and the new tenants are happy even though the weather has not permitted the re-rendering of the back of the property. It will be sorted ASAP, but it seems it is not a problem to the new people. All of the surrounding residents are happy with their new neighbours. Thanks again for your professional services.

The Torquay team at Absolute have been amazing. Frank with his endless patience in helping us to find our forever home and the team in getting our house marketed and sold quickly. The photos and details were first class and secured us a prompt sale. Special thanks go to Kim who worked tirelessly to push through both the sale and the purchase and kept us informed at all times. Excellent support and advice and happy to help at any time.

We have been so impressed with the professionalism of the team at Absolute, all the way through the process of selling our apartment, firstly with Frank’s cool and calm approach to viewings and buyers, he is unflappable and an asset to the business. And what can we say about Kim, this lady is a gem, always positive and proactive dealing with buyers queries, slow lawyers, and us nagging! Kim never lost her cool throughout the whole time and was always responsive, even sometimes going the extra mile and replying out of hours to us. Just super positive and great to deal with. Overall we highly recommend this team in Torquay. Thanks again. Paula and SpencerPositiveProfessionalism

This is just below any level. The only answer I get is that there is few people booked and they will get back to me regardin any viewing. They never did. Only today wanted to view another property which been listed today and again I have been told that its too early for viewing and they will get back to me ( doubt it) On the top of that one of the girl working in the office disconected the call without saying anything. The worst place, the worst service provided by any estate agency I know. I feel sorry for the estate agency owners as that’s the best way to ruin their business.This girl shouldn’t work at this place..Very Low level...I would never recomend this Company to anyone...

We have checked and we do not have any record of this person contacting us at all. We believe this to be for a similarly named business in Bedford not Torquay. I have requested Google to remove it due to it being incorrect but they have failed to do so.

I contacted the team to enquire about my sister who is on benefits (due to ill health) and was told all 3 bed houses which were advertised would not be available to us. This was done without respect and I feel they could have offered to call landlords and try to find a suitable place. I felt upset at the blatant stigma displayed. I'm now buying a house and will not use u, so I wonder what u miss out on in business with that attitude!NegativeProfessionalism

Sam · 24 August 2020

Agent replied

We do not discriminate against tenants claiming housing benefit, we do of course expect all tenants to pass our referencing however usually a suitable guarantor will suffice if benefits are being claimed. There is no lack of respect for people who are on benefits and we do not believe any stigma would have been displayed. We do not currently have any available 3 bed houses. We also do not call landlords to ask them questions we have already asked them, we have detailed conversations with our landlord prior to marketing and as lettings is a fast paced environment it is simply not possible to call the landlords each time we have a similar enquiry. As an example, we launched a 3 bedroom house last week and had over 20 viewing enquiries in one day and booked 6 in for a COVID-19 safe 'block' style viewing. We continued to get another 30+ enquiries until the viewing took place a couple of days later. 4 out of the 6 viewers wanted to take it and would all have been acceptable to the landlord. We have been providing PPE for free for all viewers and asking them to donate to NHS Charities in lieu of us charging for them. We are still not back to full strength as some of our team members remained furloughed due to childcare issues, but we have taken on 2 new employees to try and help with the amazing number of calls and emails we are receiving every day. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss this with you directly as I am sure it is simply a misunderstanding. Simon Fisher Director UPDATE: I have not had any contact from the reviewer so despite feeling it necessary to take the time to write the original review they have not felt it necessary to take the time to speak to me about the inaccurate review.

Called into the Wellswood office a week ago for a update on a Torquay project that Absolute are agents for. The person I met at there office could not help and took my details for someone to contact me. Still no contact a week later. I guess with most badly run companies they will blame Covid. I will stay well clear of this company if I decide to put my property on the market.

Hi Trevor, Please accept my apologies if someone hasn’t got back to you. Perhaps you could email me with more details so I can look into it for you and give you the update you require. I agree it’s not good enough, however we are only human and would not have intentionally not called you back. Simon Fisher Founding Director UPDATE Friday 29th Oct 9pm.

The sale of my property came at a difficult time personally for me, compounded by the fact that the first buyers pulled out at contract signing stage, so it wasn't easy to stay calm. However, despite the difficulties, Frank managed to take a philosophical view and handled everything very professionally. He was always pleasant and cheerful and when new buyers were found, did everything possible to move things along as quickly as possible. It was a very satisfactory end to what could have been a nightmare.

Absolute have let me the lovely flat I now live in. Everyone I have dealt with there has been fantastic - polite, helpful and informative. I've now let through four letting agents over a couple of decades. The first one was great, the second two were ok and with Absolute we're back to great again! 🙂 Handy web apps for e-signing and inventory as well - no piles of paper 👍👍👍PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

We used Absolute Torquay because we had seen other similar houses to ours sell quickly. They did not disappoint! Every detail from Day1 was meticulously handled 100% They took the stress out of the whole selling procedure particularly the details after we had agreed a sale. We highly recommend Absolute Torquay when selling your property!
