It's always a bit of a gamble dealing with a new letting agent, but Abaco have been brilliant so far. They made the offer/referencing/contracting stage simple, and have been quick to respond to any emails I've sent. Any issues with the property that I have had to report have been resolved quickly. I even unexpectedly received a birthday card from them!

Konstantin Whilst it is very easy to post a review, the reviews should be accurate. It would be unfair of us to book a viewing for someone knowing that they do not meet the requirements of a Landlord. You would take the time to view the property and then be told the Landlord will not accept your circumstance. We would have been disingenuous by booking the viewing and had we not ran through your circumstances, we would not have been doing our job. There was certainly no abuse in anyway. I sit n ...

Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.

Complaints Procedure

Abaco Estates prides itself on providing a high level of service and we are constantly looking at ways we can improve.
Should anyone feel that they have not been fairly treated, aggrieved in any way or feel that our service could have
been better I am very keen to hear from you.

Our goal is that all parties feel good once the deal is done.
