Are Abode - Westcliff-on-sea Right For You?

I dealt with the letting agents at the branch when letting out my property, I told them that my tenant had just handed in her 4 week notice and asked if they could find me some suitable tenants etc. They asked and agreed with myself and my tenant at the time that people could start viewing the property so once the current tenants notice was up the new ones could move in staright away. We found and agreed on a new set of tenants however Abode got them into the office and had them sign the tenancy agreement and promised them a move in date when my previous tenant still had 2 weeks of her notice left! This didn't give her any time to have the property cleaned and at the standard I gave it to her in because she didn't have enough time and I then was pressuring her to leave which wasn't right for me or her given legally she had two weeks. Whilst this was going on I expressed my disappointment to Abode that they had promised the new tenants a move in date which couldn't be met and when they were told they couldn't move in on the date Abode promised they were angry aswel (and rightly so considering they were going to be homeless due their notice being up on the flat they were leaving). I got my property back not at the standard I handed it over (i.e scuffs on walls and grass not cut etc) however couldn't justify taking this out of my tenants deposit due to her not having enough time, I then had to apologise to my new tenants about the state of the house and now when they leave I can expect it back in the same condition or worse!

The only good thing I can say is the two tenants I've had from Abode "touch wood" have been no bother. Wouldnt recommend and won't use again.

I'm in the process of buying a new rental property through them which is unfortunately something I can't control, surely it can't get worse. I hope not anyway.

Awful estate agents rude staff unhelpful and unprofessional! They are only interested in your money and they lie to you and keep you strung along! Avoid at all costs unless you want to be ripped off!!! They Put my house on the market without me agreeing to it so they could try and make a fee and they also made me have a price war for a house I was interested in I’m thankful I had a lucky escape !! Be warned !

Unfortunately the property deal fell through. However it was no fault of Abode. The communication was excellent and Ann was helpful trying to solve issues that arose. Would be keen to use again.

A real positive experience using Abode to sell our property. We switched agents to Abode and the experience was hassle free. Abode sold our property within 4 weeks - the customer service was fantastic! Ann and Mike were the main contacts and always went the extra mile. I'd highly recommend Abode.
