Nicola Weeds and her Abbotts colleagues pride themselves on a customer-focused approach.
Their communication and attention to detail throughout my recent experience with them has been exemplary.
I have lived and worked at a variety of locations across the UK, dealing with many sales and lettings businesses. Securing the purchase of a property in King's Lynn, now my permanent home, has been made much easier by the high levels of professionalism I have experienced in recent months.
I would not hesitate to recommend Nicola and the team to sales and lettings customers. Thank you.... Read more

Fantastic service from the team, big shout out to Kerrie who has given us 5 star service in finding a tennant without even advertising the property online - showing she knows and understands both landlords and tenants needs and has matched us up perfectly. Really grateful for all her advice and speedy service. Many thanks!... Read more

Absolutely Shocking, uncaring and unprofessional Service - These guys seemed so kind and professional until we had a health issue that meant our proposed tenancy couldn’t begin. We gave ample time too. Despite writing a letter of explanation we received NOTHING! No acknowledgment, no letter of understanding, no wishing us well on our road to recovery, NOTHING! - All I can say is this was a shock to us and a big disappointment. I have included the letter I wrote below so you can judge for yourself whether we deserved being ignored! Is this really the service we deserved?
..,………………………………………
Good afternoon Suzie,
I hope you are well.
It’s not been going so great this end I’m afraid.
We’ve both encountered more health issues and the surgeon who administered xxxxxx last injection has recommended, after examination, that for his own safety he should not attempt to do anything with his arm for fear of causing irreparable damage. This therefore has major implications for our plans.
Furthermore I have been suffering from pins and needles and numbness in my foot and fingers and extreme back ache which the surgeon has said is due to the extra pressures since xxxxxxx incapacity - and to make matters worse, I’ve been advised to avoid lifting anything heavy to avoid further damage to my spine!
In light of the above and being mindful of the promises we made to yourself and to the landlord in regards to keeping the property in top ‘viewing’ condition, we feel that this is something we can no longer achieve and promise. We’re not able to hire a van or arrange any furniture let alone construct even a bed frame - to say the least.
We do not want to cause detriment to the landlord’s quest of finding a buyer for his lovely bungalow and therefore, to give the landlord the best chance of a sale in this climate, we have decided that this task should be passed on to a tenant who is in better shape, health wise to present the property in the best way possible.
It’s with a very heavy heart that I write this Suzie as we were both so extremely looking forward to beginning our brief tenancy at the bungalow but we are very honest, open and responsible and don’t want to promise something to the landlord that we simply can’t fulfill. We’ve been stressing about tidying up for an urgent, last minute viewing and knowing how difficult it is to even pick up a cup, fills us both with worry and anxiety.
On a more positive level, at least we are still a few weeks away from the original intended commencement of the tenancy and you didn’t waste time sending out contracts.
Please send our sincere apologies to the landlord who I would hope understands that our decision was not taken lightly but was taken with his best interests at heart.
Xxxxx feels his rehabilitation should be at home with his bother as the rehabilitation could prove to be quite an extended period of up to 18 months for the injury to heal.
You have been a real treasure throughout the short process so far Suzie and we’ve had some great conversations. You are definitely a rare find in this day and age and we both appreciate all you’ve done for us.
We totally understand if our holding deposit is something we have to forfeit but if the landlord understands that our decision is primarily based on his position to effectively sell the bungalow, then I would like to hope he would not decide to retain our deposit.
Once again Suzie, thank you for everything. We can’t express how nice it’s been dealing with you and it would be a pleasure if we were able to secure a house purchase or tenancy in the future - maybe you’d even find us our dream bungalow?
In the meantime we are being sensible and putting our health first even if it means letting go of the lovely bungalow.
Kindest regards,
………………………………………………
To this date, we received no email, no call or any communication following the letter we sent and to this day, it still makes me extremely sad that the relationship I thought we’d developed over a few weeks was nothing more than fake.... Read more

Absolutely shocking service. Never any communication. Constantly having to chase via phone and email to get answers, even though I am paying them roughly £100 pcm to ‘manage’ my property. Keep taking extra money from rent for extras when told twice that I don’t want any extras at all. Kerrie promised the most amazing service when I decided to go with abbots, after telling her the previous bad experience with lettings agents but she doesn’t seem to know what she’s doing at all, no one does!
Still waiting for a response from early last week, have chased 4 times with no answer.
Wouldn’t recommend Abbots at all - stay well clear.
Have left this review on the downham market branch as well as kings Lynn as I seem to be speaking to both offices so who knows which one actually manages my property.... Read more

I felt they overpriced our property to draw us in to using them. We never received feedback, I was having to chase them for it. In addition to this they never responded to my messages, including telephone or email. This made me wondering if they ever replied to potential buyers. Signing up to them was the biggest mistake we ever made.... Read more

Abbotts have been fantastic during my move from Wales to my new flat in King’s Lynn. After a separation regarding tenants, they found me a smaller, nicer, 1 bedroom property in no time, and the move was even faster! Suzie, Lynsey, and Kerrie treated my situation with so much care and consideration, and regularly meeting them for viewings made the whole experience more personal. Countless phone calls about new properties starting with “this one made me think of you!” from Suzie made me feel like I was in good hands. They took into consideration all of my needs such as budget, location, and all round quality of properties viewed. An exceptional experience where they went above and beyond for someone new in town.... Read more

Communication absolutely rubbish. Once your in a tenancy agreement forget any further correspondence. One agent very rude, even put the phone down after admitting and apologising that she didn't pass on some information when she should have done.
Avoid them, very rude and never follow up on repairs needed to property.
Disgraceful!... Read more

Absolutely awful when dealing with shared ownership! Traveled an hour and 20 minutes each way to an appointment to be told I'd be better off renting and the property I went for was going to the highest share offer... could have been told this on the phone!
Several weeks and several applications for other properties and no call backs or follow through with appointments from abbots.
Tried a different estate agents and got approved to purchase instantly!
Turns out if you don't want a mortgage or someone comes in with bigger share purchase you don't stand a chance!
Terrible for shared ownership
Terrible for communication
Just Terrible!... Read more
