I have been using Abode to let out my properties for the last 4 years and I do not see why I would want to use anyone else! They give honest advice when needed and are upfront about any costs and maintenance issues. Steve has looked after us really well and we would recommend seeking any professional advice and guidance from the team at Abode. Keep up the good work guys.

A few years ago, when we moved overseas, we made the unfortunate decision of engaging Abode to look after our two properties in Bristol. This was, sadly, a serious mistake. There is absolutely nothing positive I can say about the experience.
Quite apart from a ...

We recently brought our flat through Mr. Csaba Toth of Frank Harris & Co estate agents at 87 Long Lane, London (020 7600 7000). Very happy with the service from Mr. Csaba Toth as he was efficient, professional and excellent at communicating with us on every aspect of the process. We can highly recommend him. He is always helpful if we had any questions and got back to us with answers quickly.
If you want to buy your house speak to him. ...

Well organised inventory and check out systems, with no unnecessary charges added upon leaving. When work was required on the properties it was completely quickly and ...
