Was all very easy from the Durrants end, they did everything in their power to get everything across the line for me and my partner.
Gabi has been very professional and a huge help in helping us through the whole process, would not hesitate to recommend them.
Excellent service through a quite protracted and difficult sale. All Durrant’s staff involved could not have been more helpful.
Excellent team and company. The girls we dealt with Roberta and Imogen who were incredible. Imogen met us at the property and is very knowledgeable and professional, once we negotiated a price with our vendors the girls were excellent no matter who we dealt with they kept us up to date with every step and helped us along the way to buying our first ever home together. The process was smooth and the team made it really easy to understand everything and explained anything we weren’t sure about! We would 100% recommended this estate agents really lovely team nothing is too small or big of an ask. We are now settled in our first home and it’s all thanks to the team at Durrents. Thank you!!
Alisha (and colleagues) at Durrants Southwold office have been nothing but professional. She has been, from the first viewing (of a different property) to the end stage of completion of the house that I bought, very efficient, conscientious, friendly and cognisant of both buyer’s and seller’s needs throughout. I would be very happy to recommend Durrants from my recent experience.
We cannot praise the fantastic team at the Beccles office enough. They worked tirelessly on our behalf over several months whilst we awaited probate on our purchase.
As a landlord I have dealt with Durrants for many years. Wendy has been our contact for a number of those years overseeing our properties. She always handles every situation with commitment and professionalism. Wendy is a great asset to Durrants with her comprehensive knowledge of the letting side of the business and would recommend her to anyone who is thinking of letting their property.
Durrants in Halesworth sold my mothers property. Gabi Wones was very professional with very good communication. Thank you.
We would both like to thank everyone for your constant support and encouragement to get us through our sale . You have all been very professional but also friendly at the same time. Well done guys .
We have just completed on a house sale with Durrants Beccles office. Koryn and team were professional, personable and accessible throughout the whole process. Their initial feedback prior to instruction was well informed and showed the benefit of good local knowledge. As a result once on the market the property quickly attracted good interest from serious prospective buyers. Excellent communication with Durrants throughout helped matters progress successfully to completion. We would thoroughly recommend Durrants Beccles office.
Fiona was everything you could hope for in an Estate Agent. Patient and never pushy. Knowledgable and never patronising. And then throughout the whole buying process she kept us informed, helped connect us with the sellers and kept us reassured throughout. Thanks for everything.
I’m very happy with the level of service; professional and helpful
We sold our house through Durrants, they have been really friendly and helpful, an excellent sales brochure was produced along with really good photographs. Prospective purchasers were mostly accompanied visits as we had requested – our house sold quickly and we are very happy with the service we received, thank you.
Both my wife and I wish to thank all the staff at the Harleston office for the support and help show to us for what was an extremely prolonged and difficult purchasing process. At all times they would go out of their way to provide us with required information, and did so willingly. Their professional approach at all times to meet clients’ requests is to be applauded.
Many thanks to you all, we greatly appreciated everything you did for us.
We used Durrants to buy from – first sale fell through but no fault of Durrants and they tried all they could to keep it alive. The house we have now exchanged on was also bought through Durrants and the second time was just as positive. Koryn was magnificent – she kept us up to date constantly, was calm, professional and exceptionally helpful. Thanks to Durrants as a group and Koryn in particular.
Durrants of Halesworth are highly recommend. The whole team were excellent. Imogen kept us informed throughout the whole process, very knowledgeable and extremely helpful.
We have just purchased a house through Durrants and without the continued help and assistance of August the purchase would not have been possible. Thank you so much August.
August at Durrants, and the rest of the team made the purchase of our house such a smooth process. August stayed in touch the whole time and chased third parties when necessary. Was a pleasure dealing with the team and the house warming gift was much appreciated.
I wish to bring to your attention, the excellent service and support I received from the staff at this branch. Nothing was too much trouble and they always kept me so well informed of the process of my purchase. Strongly recommend.
Excellent service from valuation to completion on my parent’s house. Always helpful to both ourselves and the purchasers.
An excellent Service. Gabi Wones and her team worked above and beyond to help us with our sale. They kept us informed of all that was happening.
I have to say the service and determination we received from Imogen was exceptional! She worked so hard on the sale of our property, keeping us informed throughout the process, we would highly recommend Durrants and are very grateful for all their hard work.
August from the Diss office was very helpful in keeping us up to date in the selling of our barn and kept us informed and filled us in and really a lovely person so kind and would go above and beyond and was very reassuring and kept me calm she held the sale together from all angles in a very professional manner.
We contacted Durrants in December after having had poor service from another Letting Agent in Diss. Eleanor Adcock was very quick to visit the property and to advertise it after giving us advice on the best way forward to find tenants who would be suitable. The previous tenants had left the Barn in an appalling condition and we were hesitant and concerned about not having to face the same issues. She answered all our questions, put our minds at rest, advertised the property and very quickly found new tenants who have just moved in. Her professional attitude is excellent and we are grateful for her help. Thank you.
We are finally awaiting collection of keys to our new home in Barnby and would never have been able to get there without the fantastic help and hard work by Koryn and her team at the Beccles branch. She really went the extra mile to ensure our dream came true and we will be forever grateful to both her and Durrants.
Everyone at Durrants were very helpful and Gabi especially helped to speed things along with the respective solicitor’s and the vendors thank you.
Fiona and her team were a pleasure to deal with. They were proactive, always helpful and responsive.
I had the pleasure of working with George Berry and his team on a transaction for my mother aged 85 who was under a lot of stress after the passing of her partner whereby my mother had inherited a property that proved troublesome to sell due to challenging market conditions.
George and his team acted at all times in my mother’s best interests, and I have been extremely impressed by their attention to detail and commitment in getting the transaction successfully closed within a three-week timeline from Durrants finding a qualified buyer.
I would certainly recommend both George and August in his team at the Durrants office in Diss to prospective sellers.
Very impressed. Thank you for your help and patience throughout.
Excellent, polite and efficient service once again, thanks Gabi
Really friendly and helpful. Always kept us informed and our house was sold really quickly.
From start to completion can not fault the service, nothing was too much trouble and all queries from myself were answered quickly and professionally.
We had to sell my mother’s home in Halesworth and chose Durrants.
We were assisted by a very polite and knowledgeable young lady called Gabi Wones, who handled our sale meticulously and very professionally. I would recommend Durrants at the drop of a hat. Well done Gabi.
Selling a property and moving home can be a stressful experience at the best of times but the Durrants team in the Halesworth office were nothing short of a breath of fresh air. They remained professional throughout the long drawn out process and were exceptional in all communication and delivered exactly what they promised. I couldn’t recommended them highly enough but I’d like to single out the sales manager Gabi Wones as her tireless effort and focus on a complex transaction ensured everything was completed in a timely manner, thank you Gabi.
Roberta at Durrants has been amazing. She has been helpful and supportive throughout the time our property was being marketed and sold. A pleasure to deal with, we would definitely recommend her.
I recently sold a property through Durrants Southwold and had the pleasure of dealing with Lily throughout the process. Despite operating in a particularly challenging market, Lily remained consistently professional, proactive, and supportive. She kept me well informed with regular updates on viewings and was always ready to review the strategy or pricing when needed. Her clear communication and dedication made a potentially stressful experience much smoother. I’d highly recommend Durrants Southwold, especially Lily, for anyone looking to sell in the area.
Durrants are professional, communicative, friendly and honest. As a buyer you often feel they are only working for the sellers interests but buying with Durrants felt like keeping both parties informed and happy was at the core of the companies ethos. It is a very emotional roller coaster trying to find the right home (especially within a certain budget). I would like to say a special thank you to Gabi Wones for making my cottage sale finally happen and for being so supportive along the journey. I would also like to say thank you to Imogen Garrard for always being so friendly and responsive in getting back to me when I had questions. I have no hesitation in recommending Durrants.
Roberta and Imogen have been friendly and courteous but also efficient and professional. They have kept us well informed and provided reassurance and support. We very much appreciated their expertise, thank you both.
Excellent staff and wonderful team. Helped all the way through from the first day to the last.
Throughout our purchase we mostly dealt with Amber, we also had contact with others from the office. Amber was very professional and helpful at all times, she always returned our calls if she was not available and the Durrants team were always friendly, polite and helpful; there was also a nice surprise for us upon completion !
The service I received was invaluable. I live over 160 miles from the property in Ditchingham but it never felt like it. A very professional company with a personal touch. I would recommend Durrants to anyone looking to sell or buy a house.
Very thorough survey report. Excellent service throughout.
I can’t express enough how grateful we are for the incredible service provided by Imogen and the entire team at Durrants, Halesworth. Throughout what turned out to be a long and complicated process, Imogen has been nothing short of extraordinary. Her hard work, professionalism, and thoughtfulness made all the difference in getting our sale through, and we honestly never thought it would happen. Imogen went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly, and her dedication truly transformed a stressful situation into a much more manageable experience.
We appreciate all the effort from the complete team, and we hope it’s a while before we need your services again – though we wouldn’t hesitate to return if needed. Thank you for making this journey so much better for us!
Excellent customer service. Great communication and really lovely staff to deal with. Thanks so much.
I could not fault the professionalism, support and delightful staff. They went the extra mile to ensure the exchange could take place. Their valuation was realistic, and property details were attractive. Totally recommend.
Lily provided us with excellent service, quickly answering any questions throughout the purchase process – thank you so much!
Always a pleasant and professional experience and I would recommend Durrants.
Alison is calm, efficient and a complete pleasure to deal with. I have rented out my house with her on several occasions now and the same consistent level of service is always provided! If you want an enjoyable rental experience then Alison is top of the list!
I’ve just rented a house through Durrants and Eleanor Richards was great to deal with. She has been efficient and proactive in all communications and an absolute professional at all times.
From start to finish Gabi was very efficient and helpful in the purchase of my mum’s property. Highly recommend.
My wife and I have recently used Durrants for both our sale and purchase, and the whole team in Beccles has been quite frankly marvellous! It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster, given some external complications, but the team has guided us through the process in a really professional and friendly way. I would highly recommend using Durrants, and in particular the Beccles branch.
Whilst it was a team effort, I’d like to personally thank Koryn, Lisa, Caroline and Vanessa, who have been on hand throughout and who have had to deal with us at our most ‘needy’. The purchase of our dream home would not have been possible without you!
Thank you all so much
We have just exchanged on our house and I honestly can’t believe how straightforward it has been. From the valuation all the way through to exchange, Koryn and the team have been such an asset. Response times were fantastic and they were always updating me. Any questions or worries I had were answered swiftly, making the whole sale stress free! Koryn was also consistently chasing our buyers and the solicitors for progress, which ensured we met our target date for our new build. 6 weeks in total from start to finish! Would highly recommend selling through Durrants!
Alison at Durants has been so helpful from the start to moving into our property. Nothing is too much trouble for her. She’s such a lovely lady I cannot recommend this estate agents enough. Everything has been so easygoing. We also got a lovely little card and pot plant on moving in. Thank you all so much, especially Alison. Great work, much appreciated.
Amazing professional service keeping us informed throughout. Especially Lily who communicated every step to ensure completion. Well done Durrants.
Really pleased with a friendly service in difficult times.
Our experience purchasing a property through Durrants has been excellent. Roberta has managed our case from start to finish, from arranging the initial viewing to guiding us through to completion this week, and she has been amazing. As first-time buyers, the process was entirely new to us, but Roberta’s clear explanations and consistent updates made everything much easier to navigate. Always available at the other end of the phone, she has gone above and beyond to assist with solicitors and ensure our case progressed smoothly. Her professionalism, combined with her approachable and friendly nature, has made this journey an incredibly positive one. We can definitely recommend Durrants Halesworth to anyone in the area looking to buy or sell a property. Thank you, Roberta, for your amazing work!
Excellent service from August and rest of team during our purchase. Always friendly, communicative and very helpful. They addressed all issues promptly and professionally as well as establishing a good relationship with all parties involved in the process. We were confident in their service and they were nice people to work with.
Trevor Musk is incredibly thorough, highly professional and, a very courteous man. Anna is also very professional and thorough. I received my Homebuyers Report Eight days before I expected to receive it and the report was very detailed but, easy to understand.
Well done to both of you!
Excellent polite service, chased when relevant.
It doesn’t get better than Durrants! This team have been absolutely exceptional at every turn, and a complete and utter pleasure to work with. Thank you Team Durrants for being so wonderful!
Durrants have successfully sold the properties on our last two developments. We believe that this success is due to their proactive attitude, keen attention to detail and extensive knowledge of the market and areas we operate in.
All our sales progressed smoothly and we had regular updates from the team during the process. We would absolutely recommend working with Durrants.
Gabi and the team were very professional throughout. They worked hard to get us a good price for our property and then worked very hard indeed to progress us through to exchange.
So pleased we chose Durrants. The whole team has worked together so efficiently to help us achieve the sale. It is never easy to sell a family home following a bereavement but they were all so kind, August in particular had to steer us through some infuriating hurdles and she was brilliant. ( I will miss her!) We cannot thank you enough and will certainly recommend you to anybody wishing to move.
I always go to John in Durrants when selling and buying a house. The people who work there are always friendly and reliable and go above and beyond. Thank you.
We were very pleased with everything they did for us.
Kept us up to date, always at the end of the phone for our questions, made welcome any time to their office.
Very reasurring towards the end of our purchase that everything was being done for a smooth and succesfull outcome.
Staff were great.
Would recomend.

During purchase of house the staff at Durrants in Halesworth were always very helpful with any requests for information that I made. Happy with their service.
I can highly recommend team Beccles at Durrants, Koryn was brilliant at communication and holding our hands through out a very complex sale. They were truly professional. Thank you Team Beccles, especially Koryn.
All the staff I dealt with were very helpful and kept me informed at all stages.
Gabi Wones in particular, went above & beyond expectations, without her intervention our sale would have fallen through, can’t recommend highly enough!
Jasmine was thorough, very helpful and the whole process ran smoothly.
We have just completed on a house sale with Durrants Beccles office. Koryn and team were professional, personable and accessible throughout the whole process. Their initial feedback prior to instruction was well informed and showed the benefit of good local knowledge. As a result once on the market the property quickly attracted good interest from serious prospective buyers. Excellent communication with Durrants throughout helped matters progress successfully to completion. We would thoroughly recommend Durrants Beccles office.
I would like to thank Durrants estate agents Halesworth for our recent property sale. Gabi and her team were very helpful and efficient.
Generally, I don’t like estate agents, but all the staff at Durrants were absolutely brilliant and really went the extra mile to help the sale to go through smoothly. Highly recommended!
Excellent and helpful services. Dealt with any queries or questions promptly. Would recommend.
Eleanor is always very helpful and makes sure we are looked after if we have any problems with our rented property.
Eleanor Richards is an excellent property manager—professional, responsive, and very attentive. She did a wonderful job handling everything and made the whole experience easy and stress-free. Highly recommended!
Durrants was one of three estate agents that I approached for a valuation on my property and my decision to market my property with Durrants was made so easy by not only the realistic valuation of my house but equally the friendly approach of Lisa, and this has been echoed throughout the team.
I was kept up to speed with viewings and feedback as would be expected and I feel the team worked hard to link together a chain that has culminated in a successful outcome. The road has been bumpy on occasion, but Koryn has worked tirelessly to iron out any hiccups, seeming to keep all balls in the air whilst remaining utterly professional and helpful to the nth degree.
I would not hesitate to buy or sell another house through Durrants again should the need arise. I cannot be more grateful for all that they have done.
Good service – John dealt with the sale of our property and were always efficient and professional.
From start to finish an absolute pleasure to deal with on my house sale. Communication throughout was great & it felt like a very friendly & personal service, like I was their only client. Wouldn’t hesitate to use them again & would highly recommend them. Thanks Koryn, Lisa, Caroline & team.
Excellent service and good communication.
As demonstrated by previous experience with Durrants, the form was very efficient from the initial valuation, to consultation over the brochure contact, to the showing of people around the property. Staff also kept a close watch on the progress of the sale – very impressive all around.
It was a pleasure working with the Durrants team in Diss, especially George and August. They sat and listened to my previous experiences with other estate agents, took in to account my wishes of having 1 point of contact etc, and made the whole process of selling the property a breeze. They restored my faith in estate agents again and recommended a good solicitor to carry out the legal side of things, therefore making the whole experience a pleasurable one. I would highly recommend the office in Diss.
All the Team were so helpful, friendly and kind at a really stressful time. They guided me through the whole process of the sale and more. Thank you for everything.
Koryn, Caroline and the whole team were effortless from beginning to end.
I would even consider buying another house just to keep up the fantastic working relationship fostered between my family and Durrants Beccles.
A brilliant service, and I will be back.
Friendly, personable and professional service.
My brother and I would just like to say a huge thank you to the whole team, for all their hard work and dedication in the selling of our mum’s property. We cannot thank you enough and would not hesitate in recommending your services to anyone. Thank you all again for your help and kindness.
I recently purchased a property listed by Durrants of Diss. From the first viewing through to the final move, August was brilliant!! There were a few problems on my sale, but throughout the whole process, she couldn’t have been more helpful. Along with the rest of her team in Diss, she would always respond to my queries quickly and efficiently. Whether you are buying or selling, I would highly recommend Durrants.
We were very impressed with the service we got, Imogen looked after us well, and dealt with everything we needed to get this sale, she was very professional and polite, we would definitely recommend the Halesworth office.
From start to finish, Koryn has provided a friendly but professional service, keeping a long and rather tricky sale process on track and over the line, communicating well and keeping everyone informed of progress, finding solutions to issues as they arose and providing invaluable support and advice throughout. Highly recommended.
The whole experience was excellent from start to finish. Roberta handled my purchase in an efficient and friendly manner. Well done Durrants, I would not hesitate to recommend you again.
I found this estate agent to be friendly and professional in their approach to buyers. Thanks for a smooth process!
I was very impressed at the level of service I received from Durrants. Myself and my wife know the Halesworth office and there has always been a friendly and courteous staff. The person who introduced me to the property was Tom who tragically died a short while later. Gabi Wones has been very efficient and overall I am much impressed by Durrants in general.
Durrants in Halesworth were fantastic, especially Roberta who communicated regularly and progressed the sale efficiently and proactively. We cannot thank her enough for her vital communication which is sadly lacking in other estate agents. We highly recommend Durrants in Halesworth.
Purchased house that Durrants were selling. They were very helpful and flexible when arranging viewings and also swift with assisting negotiations. A friendly and professional service was always displayed by Gabi & Imogen. A pleasure to deal with.
Staff great to work with when selling a house.
I found Durrants to be proactive and helpful. In particular, thank you to Gabbi for negotiating a deal on my most recent property purchase.
I was very happy with the service provided by Durrants throughout the recent sale of my mother’s property. The circumstances were difficult and we were working to a tight deadline. The property was marketed quickly, the advice on price was sensible, realistic and guided by a good knowledge of the local market and potential buyers were swiftly contacted. Viewings were conducted sensitively and efficiently and in the sometimes tricky period between receiving an offer and exchange of contracts communication was exemplary. Many thanks to those in the Halesworth Office for carrying out small services and favours, whether checking on a vacant property, providing the occasional packing box or forwarding the odd item of important mail. A special mention for Gabi Wones who was businesslike, efficient and supportive throughout. I would not hesitate to recommend Durrants to other sellers.
We were grateful for rapid help to be able purchase our house in Newby Close after a sale cancellation of a property in a nearby close. We realised it was also around that time that there was a sudden death of a manager of the Halesworth branch so not the easiest of times. Nevertheless our sale was completed and all was well.
I’ve dealt with Wendy who was super friendly and helpful! Helped me find the perfect property and has gone the extra mile to make it more personal for me 🙂 Now happily have a flat with them.
Alison has spent a great deal of time showing me various properties in the local area. I managed to secure a property which I move into April 2025. The whole process was smooth and very stress free and nothing was too much trouble, best wishes, David
Really pleased with a friendly service in difficult times.
Really friendly and helpful. Always kept us informed and our house was sold really quickly.
From start to finish, Koryn has provided a friendly but professional service, keeping a long and rather tricky sale process on track and over the line, communicating well and keeping everyone informed of progress, finding solutions to issues as they arose and providing invaluable support and advice throughout. Highly recommended.
The cottage I chose was with the Harleston branch. They have been helpful all the way along. It is empty, and there was so much I needed to check, which they had to come out to every single time……and there have been many, but always, they happily drove out to let me in. Nice people to deal with, I have no complaints, and would recommend them without hesitation.
I recently purchased a property listed by Durrants of Diss. From the first viewing through to the final move, August was brilliant!!
