Outstanding service from a very professional team, I would highly recommend, I can’t express how happy we are that we have finally found our perfect home. Thanks again team, we are looking forward to completing our purchase!!!!
Fiona and her team were a pleasure to deal with. They were proactive, always helpful and responsive.
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.
I found this estate agent to be friendly and professional in their approach to buyers. Thanks for a smooth process!
It has been a first-class service from Durrants in Diss. It’s a breath of fresh air to find this level of professionalism and good old courteousness. My needs are being dealt with in a helpful and attentive manner and would recommend this without hesitation.
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 service, especially from Lily. Thanks again!
Excellent friendly knowledgeable estate agents
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.
We recently purchased a property with Durrants – Imogen handled our purchase and was always incredibly helpful and quick to respond to anything needed to make sure the process went smoothly. 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 are really happy with the service provided from Imogen at Durrants. She kept us up to date throughout the sale of our property all the way through to exchange, and she was only ever a phone call away if we needed anything. Durrants have provided a very professional service overall. Would highly recommend!
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.
The staff at Durrants Southwold were excellent communicators, reassuring throughout the whole selling process.
Everyone dealing with the sale was both courteous, efficient and communicated developments promptly. I am very pleased with the outcome and would come back again if the need arose.
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.
I bought a house through Durrants, their service was fantastic and they weren’t working for me as such. All girls were happy, smiley, and nothing was too much trouble .
Gabi has been very professional and a huge help in helping us through the whole process, would not hesitate to recommend them.
From start to finish Gabi was very efficient and helpful in the purchase of my mum’s property. Highly recommend.
Excellent staff and wonderful team. Helped all the way through from the first day to the last.
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.
Lily provided us with excellent service, quickly answering any questions throughout the purchase process – thank you so much!
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.
The team were helpful and efficient throughout the whole transaction of my sale.
We have recently sold our property through Durrants in Beccles. I have to say the service we received from Koryn and her team has been second to none. From the moment the house went on the market to the moment of completion nothing was too much trouble and they were always happy to help with any queries we had. Would definitely highly recommend.
Very helpful staff and efficient to deal with, speedy communication. Completed quickly.
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!
5+ star review. We are currently coming to the end of the process of buying our first home through Durrants, Southwold. We couldn’t have done it without Alisha, from start to finish her knowledge, support and attention to detail allowed us to find our perfect first home. Alisha is patient, professional and goes the extra mile, a real asset to the Southwold team. Thank you.
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.
A big thank you to Amber and George at Durrants Estate Agents, Harleston. The hardworking team have worked tirelessly to secure two successful house sales for us this year. Quite an achievement in these challenging times. Their professional dedication to providing a first class service to both buyers and vendors has taken the stress out of moving house. We had constant feedback with viewings and a smooth transition to completion with attention to detail in liaising with all parties involved in the chain. I highly recommend using Durrants Estate Agents.
The day I walked into Durrants in Harleston I knew my late mums house I needed to sell before I had to return to Australia was in professional hands. George and Amber helped me step by step during a difficult time and within a few weeks mums house was sold. I would recommend Durrants to everyone who is thinking of selling their property.
The Halesworth Durrants team are highly recommended. Imogen & Roberta are lovely to deal with & very professional. Imogen has just got my first property for sale with them over the line & dealing with her last year over my late fathers property I knew the sale would be as seamless as possible & she always kept me up to date. The exchange day was very stressful for Imogen & things were out of her control to get it over the line but we got there in the end with her wealth of experience & great communication, a true asset to Durrants. One sale complete & one to go. Thanks for everything you’ve done for me, it’s greatly appreciated.
I have bought 2 properties, from Durrants, I have dealt with August, who has been nothing but very helpful and always keeping me up to date on how things are progressing – after purchasing my first property, I only wanted to deal with August again to look for a 2nd property. Wendy has also been helpful with renting out of my first property. I can not thank them enough.
Excellent and helpful services. Dealt with any queries or questions promptly. Would recommend.
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.
Good service – John dealt with the sale of our property and were always efficient and professional.
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.
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 turned up to an open house without an appointment but your staff on site that day and afterwards were excellent and extremely friendly. Showing us around the house and explaining everything. Your branch manager Koryn Hudson worked with us tirelessly to agree a final offer and allowing us to move into the new house in around 11 weeks. This involved significantly more effort than usual, we are truly thankful to Koryn, Durrants and Badger Building. Above all we have a really great house with a quality build throughout.
Thank you for great service from a fellow guitar player!
A huge thanks to all the team at Durrants, especially Lily and Fiona. A very professional firm, who go out of the way to make sure you are kept in the loop. I highly recommend them.
Durrants staff at Southwold with whom we liaised were Alisha, Lily and Fiona. All were extremely helpful and there was a good balance of enthusiasm and experience. The team were professional and reliable and easy to communicate with. Well done to Alisha in particular as it was one of her first sales. We were kept up to date with viewings and feedback. Everything went through smoothly when it came to exchanging contracts and completing. We would definitely use Durrants again if the need arose.
Jasmine was thorough, very helpful and the whole process ran smoothly.
We cannot give enough praise to Jasmine Philpott for the excellent service she has given us regarding obtaining planning permission. She has worked tirelessly, diligently and speedily throughout .
We have had complete confidence in her abilities to achieve a successful outcome due to her exceeding professionalism and obvious passion for her work. We have felt that she has always been available with sound advice and realised very quickly that she has outstanding knowledge of the planning system and it’s laws. Jasmine has obviously built up a good rapport with a wide range of people with whom she has to work alongside and this all contributes to her ability to provide such an all round service. We feel we have been very fortunate to have found Jasmine who has been such a pleasure to know and to guide us through the sometimes difficult pathways of the planning system.
We can thoroughly recommend Jasmine to anyone wanting the “perfect” professional person in her sphere.
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.
Alison was fantastic throughout the whole process of securing our next property in Southwold. Friendly, responsive, and genuinely helpful — it made the experience smooth and stress free. Grateful for her support and would happily work with her again!
Jakki in Harleston was great from the moment I requested a viewing at Valley View. She took her time and always went into great detail. No request was ever too much. It was a very pleasant experience purchasing my house through Durrants.
The service we received was fabulous. Everyone was so understanding of the reasons for my mother’s move and related with her in a sensitive way. Durrants made what was a stressful move, so much easier. Thank you.
We have just purchased a house through Durrants and I have to say that without the continued help and assistance from August, the purchase just would not have been possible. We currently live in Australia, which has created many obstacles, and without August’s help in overcoming these obstacles the purchase just would not have taken place, so thank you August.
Gabi is very professional and efficient. I would highly recommend her and Durrants.
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.
An absolute delight all the way through, Imogen was helpful, reassuring and super attentive, always at the end of the phone. The process took a little while, no fault of Durrants, but with weekly phone calls and updates I had no worry or stress. Imogen you’re a star!
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.
Alison has been an absolute pleasure to work with. She is very professional and has been so patient with us. We would 100% recommend and look forward to working together again in the very near future.
I went with Durrants Beccles office for the purchase of my new home, Both Koryn and Nick went above and beyond to help with my purchase. A most professional service, would definitely use if I ever sold.
Amazing professional service keeping us informed throughout. Especially Lily who communicated every step to ensure completion. Well done Durrants.
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 !
I used the Harleston office as a buyer, and was consistently impressed by every member of staff there. Heather, Amber, George, Peter and Joanne – all went above and beyond with nothing ever too much trouble whilst remaining friendly, cheerful and professional. They were all VERY proactive in the face of delays from both sets of solicitors (but particularly mine). These people, each in their own way, are a tremendous asset to the Durrants name and business.
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.
Excellent polite service, chased when relevant.
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.
Excellent, polite and efficient service once again, thanks Gabi
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.
Always a pleasant and professional experience and I would recommend Durrants.
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 from valuation to completion on my parent’s house. Always helpful to both ourselves and the purchasers.
I can’t recommend Durrants enough. Great customer service, very helpful and professional. I would definitely use Durrants again.
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 .
I’m very happy with the level of service; professional and helpful
Gabi was so helpful and efficient throughout the purchase of my house. Thank you so much, very professional team.
Gabi Wones in particular, went above & beyond expectations, without her intervention our sale would have fallen through, can’t recommend highly enough!
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.
Staff great to work with when selling a house.
Excellent, friendly, knowledgeable estate agents.
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 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.
Everyone at Durrants were very helpful and Gabi especially helped to speed things along with the respective solicitor’s and the vendors thank you.
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.
All the staff I dealt with were very helpful and kept me informed at all stages.
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.
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 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.
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
Very friendly, good humoured and helpful staff. They all worked tirelessly to sell the property and went above and beyond to help out countless times as the property was a distance away from my home. Would recommend!
I would like to thank Durrants estate agents Halesworth for our recent property sale. Gabi and her team were very helpful and efficient.
Excellent polite service, chased when relevant.
Koryn was so helpful throughout the whole purchasing process. I was kept up to date regularly throughout the process and couldn’t ask for a quicker response to email enquires. The Beccles team were amazing at solving any issues I had and kept the house purchase on track and completing on the house within 3 months.
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.
Really friendly and helpful. Always kept us informed and our house was sold really quickly.
Durrants were very amazing and helpful throughout the selling process. When I went to the office to sign paperwork, they were very friendly and helpful, and even made me a coffee. With their experience and expertise, they were able to get the property onto the market and sold very quickly.
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.
Imogen has been amazing from start to finish in the sale of our property. There was various complications with the sale but Imogen kept us fully informed all the way through to the day of completion. We cannot thank Durrants & Imogen highly enough for the sale of the property & we would highly recommend their services to friends & family. Thanks again.
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.
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.
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!
I have both purchased and sold properties through Durrants Halesworth. The Halesworth office has also been managing lettings on my behalf. I have always received excellent service from the office and recommend trusting this office with all your property needs.
Very helpful through all stages of the buying process – highly recommended.
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.
From start to finish the service I received was excellent. All queries I had were dealt with quickly and efficiently either by email or telephone. Gabi made the process of buying a house a lot easier, she is a real asset to the team.
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.
I would like to thank you Wendy and Durrants for a smooth process. Wendy has been very responsive and polite throughout the initial stages for obtaining the property. Additional services maybe to provide logistics advice especially for those people with disabilities, as I have. I have previously experienced staff at Halesworth and Harleston and found all staff very helpful. Thank you.
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.
Excellent service through a quite protracted and difficult sale. All Durrant’s staff involved could not have been more helpful.
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.
Alison was fantastic throughout the whole process of securing our next property in Southwold. Friendly, responsive, and genuinely helpful — it made the experience smooth and stress free. Grateful for her support and would happily work with her again!
