Absolutely terrible. Arrived 30 mins left to viewing with no heads up. Spoke to a friend about a property they were living at using their agency and they said this agency is useless, doesn’t do anything about complains and issues about their house, also that they “no showed” on their ...

Avoid these criminals at all costs. They lie, they cheat and they stole my deposit, with all sorts of excuses and personal incompetences. Make sure these people agree to not charging for an adhoc, make it up as you go along, deep clean before signing anything, and even then, they will make up ... Read Full Review

Worst letting agency ever. They're extremely patronising and rude. When we moved in at first the house was FILTHY, the stove was black, the fridge and oven was DISGUSTING. We contacted them and they stated the house was "professionally cleaned" which was incorrect. We then had to pay ... Read Full Review

Unprofessional, shockingly poor service. Haven't a clue what they're doing, told us a load of rubbish about the move in process then tried to lie their way out of it. Created a huge amount of trouble for tenants, who they couldn't care less about. Beware. Do not rent from them - ... Read Full Review

Out of the last 13 years renting we have never had as many difficulties as we did with Abode. The girls working there have the best intentions, but there is a severe lack of efficiency and professionalism when dealing with tenants. Not only did we average sending 3 emails before receiving any kind ... Read Full Review
