From start to finish Abbotts have been extremely frustrating. I would never use them again. They initially quoted fees of over �600 to complete the tenancy agreement, more than double of any of their competitors. When challenged they reduced the fees to �300, still more than their ...

Comments on Agent Fees

The fees are extortionate. More then double most other agents quoted us. They also dropped the fee when bartered so don't accept the first fee.

Avoid this company if you value your peace of mind and financial outlay! They are interested only in profits, their own (mainly) and by extension their landlords',and they'll try every trick to safeguard them. After several viewing cancellations, they failed to provide the promised heating ... Read Full Review

So where to begin... They lie to you and communication is awful. They let themselves in whenever they want to and don't do repairs. Or if they do it takes them months and months.

Abbotts Cromer has the worst customer service I have every experienced. I am a landlord but my tenants also received terrible CS. I had to push them for over a year to help with upgrades to the house (damp and new kitchen). I spoke with them many times on the phone (each time a new person) and even ... Read Full Review


Comments on Agent Fees

Agents fees are not worth it as they do not look after the property. They allowed damp to get so bad (no damp when I handed the property to them) that I had to have the entire wall damp proofed and redecorated.

We were purchasers of a property in Cromer marketed by Abbotts. I cannot think what the vendor was paying them for. The salesman left to join another local firm and the management changed. I found the managers so rude that in the end it was pointless to deal with the firm. When we went into the ... Read Full Review
