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
As ever, I’ve been really impressed with the service Durrants provided. August, our point of contact, has been faultless throughout the transaction. Professional, friendly, helpful — we couldn’t have wished for more. Thanks guys, it’s been a pleasure working with you again.
Excellent service through a quite protracted and difficult sale. All Durrant’s staff involved could not have been more helpful.
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!
Gabi has been very professional and a huge help in helping us through the whole process, would not hesitate to recommend them.
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.
We needed to sell our parents house which was originally purchased through Durrants some thirty years ago. Following other valuations we settled on Durrants, feeling comfortable with the valuation and representative.
There were a number of viewings prior to the property marketing going live, and a buyer secured within a short time period.
All the staff have been professional, responsive and super helpful, we couldn’t have asked for more.
Excellent service, especially from Lily. Thanks again!
All the staff I dealt with were very helpful and kept me informed at all stages.
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.
Fiona and her team were a pleasure to deal with. They were proactive, always helpful and responsive.
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.
We bought through Durrants in Halesworth and the team really looked after us. Gabi kept us informed during the purchase and also kept in contact with the solicitor to keep the process moving. We recommend Durrants and we would use them if we ever move again.
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.
Very helpful through all stages of the buying process – highly recommended.
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.
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.
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.
Lisa and Koryn got us over the finishing line of quite a journey. Many thanks to them.
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.
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.
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.
Excellent, friendly, knowledgeable estate agents.
Very pleasant staff. Thorough when ever asked a question. Always quick to reply. Amber was predominantly my point of contact. And as said should I sell again Durrants Harleston would be my no 1 choice of Agency.
Provided excellent service from Lisa originally valuing the property and the dedicated help from all the office staff during a particularly long and complicated sales process
George, August, Toby and Hannah provided a first class service from start to finish. Always polite, easy to get hold of, proactive in calling with updates and happy to give honest, accurate advice. I honestly can’t think of an area in which they could improve their service. Thank you very much, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to family or friends.
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 .
Excellent friendly knowledgeable estate agents
Excellent staff and wonderful team. Helped all the way through from the first day to the last.
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.
Staff great to work with when selling a house.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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!!!!
I highly recommend Durrants estate agent. Everyone is a complete pleasure to deal with.
They are all knowledgeable, professional and courteous and they all have that essential sense of humour and are reassuringly witty. Well done.
We chose the local office of Durrants as they know the area & market very well. They are very professional arriving on time and giving us advice on the properties presentation and strong points. We were delighted to find potential buyers and we accepted the best offer recommendation given by our Agent.
Due to covid and the financial climate, the actual time before we moved became extended but we were continually updated on progress until we completed. Overall a stressful time but it helped along with such considerate and professional staff.
Would recommend Durrants Halesworth office. It is a win 10/10.
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.
This was the third property sale Imogen had to deal with for me in the past 12 months & it was by far the most challenging. Imogen always kept me updated on the sale progress & did everything she said she would do in which I cannot thank her enough for all her hard work & effort. I highly recommend Durrants & especially the Halesworth office with Imogen & Roberta. Thanks again for everything you have all done, we got there in the end.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I’m very happy with the level of service; professional and helpful
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.
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.
Friendly, personable and professional service.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Excellent service and good communication.
Excellent service from valuation to completion on my parent’s house. Always helpful to both ourselves and the purchasers.
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.
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.
Lily provided us with excellent service, quickly answering any questions throughout the purchase process – thank you so much!
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.
Anna has kept us informed at all stages, the written survey was emailed to us promptly. The survey you provided was comprehensive and constructive. We will be able to progress with the purchase of our future home with the knowledge that although it needs some further investigations and improvements, we know exactly what we are buying, and are able to more accurately plan our time and finances moving forward. I would certainly recommend Durrants.
Gabi is very professional and efficient. I would highly recommend her and Durrants.
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.
Excellent polite service, chased when relevant.
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.
Excellent polite service, chased when relevant.
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.
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.
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!
Thanks to all the staff in dealing with our recent house sale, a special thanks to Roberta for her professional approach and admirable perseverance! Very good communications throughout the process, highly recommend.
I would like to thank Durrants estate agents Halesworth for our recent property sale. Gabi and her team were very helpful and efficient.
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.
Gabi Wones in particular, went above & beyond expectations, without her intervention our sale would have fallen through, can’t recommend highly enough!
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.
From start to completion can not fault the service, nothing was too much trouble and all queries from myself were answered quickly and professionally.
Really pleased with a friendly service in difficult times.
We’ve had our fair share of bad estate agents, but Durrants (Particularly Georgia, Lily, and Fiona) have been amazing. Friendly, professional, and willing to help with all our needs. Couldn’t recommend Durrants enough.
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.
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.
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.
Amazing professional service keeping us informed throughout. Especially Lily who communicated every step to ensure completion. Well done Durrants.
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.
From the moment I started the process I knew I was in good hands.
Selling your house is a daunting prospect but the guys at Durrants were amazing – in particular Koryn, who kept me updated throughout the process.
I would highly recommend Durrants and the team at Beccles. Both for selling and buying a property. They really care about their clients and that makes a real difference when you are making huge decisions in your life like houses. A massive thank you guys.
Very thorough survey report. Excellent service throughout.
Really friendly and helpful. Always kept us informed and our house was sold really quickly.
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.
Very helpful staff and efficient to deal with, speedy communication. Completed quickly.
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.
Superb service from Koryn and Caroline. They had a very difficult to deal with finicky seller and they managed the sale extremely well.
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.
Very good service with regular updates regarding the sale of our property. Prompt and efficient exchange of contracts and completion.
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!
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.
Durrants in Harleston made our moving experience easy and hassle free. Staff are very professional always quick to respond. Amber was extremely helpful and polite. Thank you for all what you did.

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!
