I had a great experience with Abode, from the moment I started looking at rental properties, right through to the day I moved out. The properties that Abode showed me matched the criteria I had set out, including budget, and I was really pleased with the flat I eventually chose. The process of securing the flat was straightforward, and Abode was transparent about all the costs that needed covering, guiding me through all the paperwork that needed completing. Moving day went smoothly, and I found the property in an excellent and very clean condition. During my tenancy, I found Abode was very attentive, meaning I never felt 'abandoned'. And when any problems arose (there weren't many, and they were relatively minor, such as a leaky shower screen), Abode was swift and efficient in dealing with it, often resolving issues within a matter of days. When it came to moving out, Abode sent me clear instructions on what needed to be completed, and when I accidentally overpaid on my final rent, they were quick to return the money. After I left the property, Abode was very quick to return my deposit to me in full, which I really appreciated, especially as I have found agents to be much slower in the process of returning a deposit.
Comment on agent fees
Abode's fees seem to be aligned to the market rate.

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. ...
