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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
Thank you for great service from a fellow guitar player!
Gabi was so helpful and efficient throughout the purchase of my house. Thank you so much, very professional team.
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.
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 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!
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.
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.
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.
The staff at Durrants Southwold were excellent communicators, reassuring throughout the whole selling process.
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 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.
Very good service with regular updates regarding the sale of our property. Prompt and efficient exchange of contracts and completion.
From start to finish Gabi was very efficient and helpful in the purchase of my mum’s property. Highly recommend.
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.
I had great personal service from start to finish selling my house through Durrants. I was lucky enough to have the wonderful Lily as my agent. Skilful, imaginative, dedicated, always absolutely on the ball and lovely to deal with. I felt thoroughly looked after during a very stressful time.
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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
Excellent polite service, chased when relevant.
Very thorough survey report. Excellent service throughout.
Ms Gabi Wones has shown herself to be an excellent manager of the purchase process. Her attention to detail and her ability to follow up with all parties was exceptional. Without Gabi’s help the sale of our house would not have been possible. She is a credit to your organisation and I would not hesitate to recommend your agency as a consequence.
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.
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.
Superb service from Koryn and Caroline. They had a very difficult to deal with finicky seller and they managed the sale extremely well.
Excellent service through a quite protracted and difficult sale. All Durrant’s staff involved could not have been more helpful.
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.
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.
I can’t recommend Durrants enough. Great customer service, very helpful and professional. I would definitely use Durrants again.
Jasmine was thorough, very helpful and the whole process ran smoothly.
Excellent, polite and efficient service once again, thanks Gabi
Excellent, friendly, knowledgeable estate agents.
Lisa and Koryn got us over the finishing line of quite a journey. Many thanks to them.
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.
Gabi Wones in particular, went above & beyond expectations, without her intervention our sale would have fallen through, can’t recommend highly enough!
Would not hesitate to recommend Durrants Beccles office, after looking after my sale and purchase, which was far from straightforward! Communication was excellent throughout. Koryn was my main contact who was extremely professional and informative and managed to get my purchase over the line. When she was not available the other staff in the office were very helpful and were always aware of what was going on. Thanks so much for getting this over the line.
Durrants in Halesworth sold my mothers property. Gabi Wones was very professional with very good communication. Thank you.
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.
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.
Excellent service from valuation to completion on my parent’s house. Always helpful to both ourselves and the purchasers.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Amazing professional service keeping us informed throughout. Especially Lily who communicated every step to ensure completion. Well done Durrants.
Really friendly and helpful. Always kept us informed and our house was sold really quickly.
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.
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.
Excellent customer service. Great communication and really lovely staff to deal with. Thanks so much.
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.
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.
I’m very happy with the level of service; professional and helpful
Friendly, personable and professional service.
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.
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.
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!
Excellent and helpful services. Dealt with any queries or questions promptly. Would recommend.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
Excellent service, especially from Lily. Thanks again!
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.
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.
From the first day we visited the Halesworth office, the service we received has been 1st class.
Initially we were house buyers then, years later as we took the decision to become landlords, the staff at Durrants in Halesworth have supported us in every way possible and are only ever a phone-call or eMail away. Initially, Roseanne, then Aidan, Tom, Alison, Tracey, (currently) Ellie and for years (until she retired) Teresa, we thank you all for expertise and advice.
Lily provided us with excellent service, quickly answering any questions throughout the purchase process – thank you so much!
Excellent staff and wonderful team. Helped all the way through from the first day to the last.
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 am very pleased to report that the service from all members of staff has been excellent both pre purchase of the property and on completion. We were able to arrange a number of visits to the property and these often beyond normal working hours, extremely helpful. We would have no hesitation in recommending Durrants for property sales or purchases.
To put is into one word…. Simply “OUTSTANDING” !! Caroline Starr was a real…”STAR” … Although she was not “Our” agent as we were the buyers of the property… She worked with us from beginning to end…She never failed to answer our questions and provide us, as first time buyers, the helpful guidance and information we so very much needed to make the buying process as smooth as possible. We will be ever grateful to Ms. Caroline and her help to get us into our new home. Caroline is a “keeper” !!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I would like to thank Toby, August and the team for providing us with such a good service during the sale of our house. They were friendly, professional and approachable throughout the process. They were always available to answer our queries and kept us updated at each stage. I would highly recommend Durrants and would certainly use them again for any future sale/purchase.
Thank you!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Durrants of Halesworth are highly recommend. The whole team were excellent. Imogen kept us informed throughout the whole process, very knowledgeable and extremely helpful.
Staff great to work with when selling a house.
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.
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.
I would like to thank Durrants estate agents Halesworth for our recent property sale. Gabi and her team were very helpful and efficient.
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.
Always a pleasant and professional experience and I would recommend Durrants.
I had great personal service from start to finish selling my house through Durrants. I was lucky enough to have the wonderful Lily as my agent. Skilful, imaginative, dedicated, always absolutely on the ball and lovely to deal with. I felt thoroughly looked after during a very stressful time.
To put is into one word…. Simply “OUTSTANDING” !!

I found Durrants to be proactive and helpful. In particular, thank you to Gabbi for negotiating a deal on my most recent property purchase.
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.
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.
