The most significant factor in selling houses, for me, is the availability of the agent.
Jack has more than satisfied this, with Claire and Amy's help.
Being charming and good-humoured at all times goes a very long way... Read more

We used Flick and Son at the end of last year to sell our house, at quite a strange time in the housing market. All the team were wonderful, from the top down. Calling us all the time with updates, chasing leads, making the right decisions at the right time They were just brilliant. We are so grateful to them. We sold our house very quickly and would use them again in a heartbeat.... Read more

Deplorable, unprofessional service. I can only comment specifically on my experience with Lettings.
With this in mind, barring incompetent administrative management - (i.e. having to chase up your own references, the agency’s neglect to update bank details, its’ sending threatening penalty letters for late payment when payment is not actually late and the Manager quickly attributing blame to Accounts colleagues, despite her having sent the letter herself) - the agency is almost bearable. Yet once you request to end a tenancy, the marked unprofessionalism really becomes apparent.
Due to relocation, my husband and I gave notice to end tenancy at which time, Flick & Son became excruciatingly difficult. The letting agent no longer addressed us by our first names and when making arrangements to check out, the letting agent informed, ‘We don’t do check outs’. Flick & Son instead instructed an “independent” inventory company to undertake check out at its leisure, for which we were charged £90. The check out took place approximately 5 days after the keys were returned to the agent. Tenants are not permitted to be present at such a check out and hence, there were suddenly accusations that the property had not been left clean (despite having passed a series of inspections over a 3 year period and being given glowing feedback that we had kept the place immaculate, in addition to having spent in excess of 6 hours cleaning the property prior to departure), and Flick & Son sought to deduct money from our deposit for a cleaning company to attend. There were outlines on a bedroom wall from where the sun had shone into the property causing vague shadows on the paintwork, so Flick & Son wanted to take money from our deposit to cover the cost of redecoration, (ridiculously overlooking the fact that as humans, we have little control over daily solar positioning). Two bulbs in the kitchen weren’t working and they even charged for those, despite their having taken meter cupboard keys which we had purchased when we moved in, because Flick & Son could never be bothered to supply any.
When we disagreed with these findings, Flick & Son actively avoided all telephonic communication, instead hiding behind their keyboards, transcribing nonsensical and evasive emails.
The matter went to dispute with the Tenancy Deposit Service for which part of Flick & Son’s charges was thrown out; but it was an arduous and unnecessary process and half of the evidence we submitted wasn’t even assessed or considered.
Having spent 3 years in the property, decorated it to a better standard, kept it immaculately clean and saved the roof from flooding (which was repaired a whole year after reporting it to Flick & Son), we were left highly disappointed by the agency’s unprofessional, opportunistic and careless nature. There has been no genuine apology from their side - (an ‘I’m sorry, but...’ barely qualifies) - and when we left the property, Flick & Son had the audacity to re-advertise with out of date pictures and an increased rent!
If you are seeking to rent in the area, you’d be better off approaching Durrants, Druce or Hamilton Smith, who offer an actual service to tenants. If, by some miracle, Flick & Son were pursuing improvement, it could learn a lot from its competitors, particularly Durrants, whose business acumen is quite simple; customers are at the heart of its service.
With this in mind, Flick & Son should strive to respect its tenants instead of opportunistically exploiting them.... Read more

Unfortunately have to agree with everything in Ed Christopher's review which is absolutely spot on!. As tenants they do let the landlord run riot all over you, in my case also violate your GDPR rights and try to withhold deposit and generally just lie to your face on house inspections. They will come up with not-managed excuse but they should at least have the decency to tell landlords what is and isn't acceptable. Had to take the matter to TDS to get the deposit back, where their claim was thrown out as betterment. This was after 5.5 years of the rent always paid on time, huge cleaning bills and maintenance done mainly by ourselves.... Read more

I have nothing but praise for the professionalism of Flick and Son - my experience of being a tenant of one of their properties was first rate not only with the way their approach to rental agreement was handled but also with their responses to any - admittedly few in my case - occasions when action was needed to deal with any defects.? I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone looking to rent a property on the Suffolk Coast and indeed further inland.

Disgusting treatment. My son died in their property, they wouldn't let me have any of his belongings. They gave the keys to his ex, who had left him 4 months before. Who disposed of everything he loved and had spent his 31 years of life collecting. They would not let me in to say goodbye, light a candle or say a prayer. Cold, unfeeling, rude and awful people to deal with when you lose your child. Wish their were minus stars. AVOID... Read more

We were recently looking for a long term rental in Aldeburgh, as soon as we chose a couple to look at our agent at Flick and Son in Saxmundham ,Melissa Crane could not of been more helpful.
Her professionalism completly shined through, knowledge of how to do this, ( we had been out of the country for awhile and a bit green!) was invaluable. She guided us through the process and even after a short time, it seemed to turn to a pleasant personal experience.
We are now happy in our new home, and would strongly suggest to anyone in the same position to take a short cut to Flicks and Melissa for the best possible result....... Read more

Appalling. As tenants in a leased property i found this company to be appalling from start to finish and from top to not quite bottom. The youngest and inexperienced staff still seem to remember that they are human. I would highly recommend tenants not using them. They just don't care about you if there are any problems with your property and will not support you or help you in anyway. My experience is that they bow to the landlord and let them run riot all over you. I have no idea what any one else's experience of them is but they are without a shadow of doubt the worst agency i have ever been involved and we have been renting for about years now! They just don't care about the people that are actually giving them the money.... Read more
