We were searching for our 3rd property after 2 people pulling out before, me and my boyfriend are 21 & 22 and we are first time buyers, we had all our deposit set ready, mortgage offer out ready, found a property with abbotts. To start off with they seemed really good, they set a date for our completion to get the solicitor moving quickly! Before we knew it the solicitor was asking for our search fees, we were so happy! After the last 2 properties fell through I didn't wanna get my hopes up too much, so I continued to look for more places on rightmove just incase. What I saw was shocking the place we had paid fees for us to buy, was back up for sale!! I found this on a Saturday evening so I had a long wait to call the estate agents on the Monday morning! 9am Monday morning I rung abbotts to ask them about the advert being back on, and they said oh he has decided to rent this property out. So instead of having the courtesy to call us to say he's selling, they decided to put the advert back up! I was so upset and so angry to think that a company could do that to a buyer! That has put me off using them all together, I think it's so unprofessional. For that reason alone I would not recommend them to anyone!

Do not use this firm. Including Branch Manager no one returns your calls. They reel you in with an unrealistic price and then within 4 weeks can be looking to reduce the price by 10% and then a further 10% 4 weeks later. The Branch Manager puts together very ...
