The service we have received from Gary and the team has been fantastic. They have been professional, reliable, always quick to call us back and always on hand to give us little bits of advice with the sale, (and also our purchase). Gary was open and honest throughout the sale and made us feel comfortable and relaxed with what is a very stressful process at times!

We dealt with Abbey Estates as first-time buyers. They were easily the most pleasant and best-informed of the various agents who showed us around houses during our short search. We ended up buying the property they were acting for, and they were very helpful during ...

Dear Ex-Tenant
I am sorry you feel you have had such a bad experience renting through us. If you would like to contact me directly or on this forum with your name and property address I will certainly look into your complaint and address each point comprehensively. I do not deal with deposit returns and have minimal control over when the independent check-out clerk forwards the dilapidations report but I will certainly look into this as well. Your deposit will have been registered with the ...

Jolly P you are unbelievably ungrateful! and you should be ashamed of yourself - You did rent a property through us which was one of our cheapest one bedroom flats which was priced at that level because it was in a poor condition. You constantly moaned and whinged about it until we could no longer take you seriously. It was a bit like the boy who cried wolf. When you did have a problem we arranged for you and your girlfriend to move into a three star hotel on a full board basis whilst it was fix ...
