I can thoroughly recommend Nick and his team. Nick, Johanna and Kareena provided seamless support throughout what turned out to be an unnecessarily complicated process. They were professional, knowledgeable, efficient and managed every obstacle with warmth, humour and great people skills. Excellent job!... Read more

Nick and Joanna have both been excellent! We sold a family holiday flat in Thorpe Bay which, due to a tricky purchaser, did not go smoothly. Nick in particular has gone above and beyond to help us. His patience is second to none and I can’t thank him and the team at Abbotts enough for all they did while we were living 100 miles away. 100% recommend Nick and his team.... Read more

I highly recommend using Abbotts estate agents thorpe bay. They sold my house very quickly and were completely on top of things all the way. Joanna from Abbotts was fantastic. She was dealing with crisis issues before I even raised them. Abbotts are worth every penny. Thank you to all of the team... Read more

Having used Abbott’s Thorpe Bay for both the sale of my property and the purchase of a new home 6 months later I can honestly say they go above and beyond to provide the best customer service possible. I truly believe the team are genuinely concerned about their clients and endeavour to make the process as smooth as possible, providing advice and support from start to finish. Particular shout out to Joanna for all her help. I would fully recommend Abbott’s Thorpe Bay as excellent agents for any house move.... Read more

After dealing with property agents for the last 35 years in buying/selling and renting in many parts of the UK. Hong Kong, Philippines and Thailand I can say this Thrope Bay office in my option is the worst I have ever dealt with. Totally unprofessional rude arrogant amateurs .The office manager thinks he is God and way up himself in his tiny little sleep backwater town with a staff of 5/6.The sales lady tries hard. but !!!!!( The guy in the letting department at their office in Rayleigh )follows the branch manager of this branch in his high option of who or what he actually is. These two people are a total disgrace to the company and for anyone looking to sell or rent out a property in Southend on Sea I would strongly recommend you do NOT use this company and go somewhere else. Rude, arrogant little people with big egos Rating ZERO. I will never use them again... Read more

I couldn’t be happier with the service provided by Abbott’s. From the start of my sale to completion I was kept informed every step of the way. My sale was not straightforward but all members of staff were encouraging and assured me “ we will get there”, and we did. Excellent throughout, and I have no hesitation in recommending Abbott’s. Thanks to every member of the team.... Read more

Abbotts took over the contract to sell our property, when a "better known" company just broke promises. Lucy and her team are professional, from start to finish, and go above and beyond to manage the sale and keep you fully updated. Dan and Eve. SS0 7PA... Read more

I can not speak highly enough of the superb job that Lucy and her team undertook in selling my property in Shoeburyness.

Great customer experience received from Abbotts. We have tried to sell our property 3 times with different companis. Terry was honest and clearly done his home work when he came to value the property and valued it at the right level to enable us yo sell in 2 weeks. from the moment we went on the market to the day of completion the whole team were engaging and supportive. Paul provided twice a week catch ups between me and the buying to help resolve any issues we had. Whilst we have said we wouldn't sell our new property, if we did we would definitely use this branch again. service was a*. Thank you Abbotts... Read more

We asked several estate agents round to value my late mum's house. Paul Benge was brilliant. The valuation the highest price we were given , it was in the middle but it was realistic and in the end we got 10k more than the asking price. Another estate agent valued it 30k less The office girls were fab and we were kept in touch the whole way through. They service showing people around the house was excellent and we were always kept informed. Abbotts Thoroe Bay were recommended to me by one of mum's friends who also had a really positive experience with them. I would 100% recommend. Thankyou Paul and the team.... Read more

Really happy with the service provided by Abbotts in Thorpe Bay. What should of been an easy sale of my flat, had every twist and turn you can imagine. My stress levels were tested and I don't know where I would of been without the help of Paul and Lucy. They really went the extra mile to keep the sale on track and prevent the buyer from pulling out. Lesson learnt from this sale, in future I would use the Solicitor firm recommended by Abbotts. Thankful that you guys kept in touch with me, helped chase things with the buyer and their solicitor. Thus enabling me in turn to chase my solicitor. There were other issues but the team were all over it, working on my behalf and helping the sale continue. You guys really went the extra mile for me and I whole heartedly recommend you. You can't go wrong having these guys in your corner, they work hard to sell your property and ensure the sale goes through.... Read more
