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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
Very thorough survey report. Excellent service throughout.
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.
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.
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.
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!
Gabi Wones in particular, went above & beyond expectations, without her intervention our sale would have fallen through, can’t recommend highly enough!
Although my property has taken a long time to sell I’ve been very pleased with the service provided by the staff – particularly Fiona, Lily and Alisha – who have continually kept me updated on viewings and feedback. It has been a pleasure to do business with you. Thank you all.
Excellent polite service, chased when relevant.
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.
Always a pleasant and professional experience and I would recommend Durrants.
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.
Lisa and Koryn got us over the finishing line of quite a journey. Many thanks to them.
All the staff I dealt with were very helpful and kept me informed at all stages.
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 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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Excellent – very efficient and professional.
Really friendly and helpful. Always kept us informed and our house was sold really quickly.
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.
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 can’t recommend Durrants enough. Great customer service, very helpful and professional. I would definitely use Durrants again.
Staff great to work with when selling a house.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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!
Very good service with regular updates regarding the sale of our property. Prompt and efficient exchange of contracts and completion.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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!
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” !!!
I found this estate agent to be friendly and professional in their approach to buyers. Thanks for a smooth process!
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.
I found Durrants to be proactive and helpful. In particular, thank you to Gabbi for negotiating a deal on my most recent property purchase.
Good service – John dealt with the sale of our property and were always efficient and professional.
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 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!
Excellent and helpful services. Dealt with any queries or questions promptly. Would recommend.
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.
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.
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.
Fiona and her team were a pleasure to deal with. They were proactive, always helpful and responsive.
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.
Excellent service and good communication.
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 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 .
Eleanor is always very helpful and makes sure we are looked after if we have any problems with our rented property.
Jasmine was thorough, very helpful and the whole process ran smoothly.
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.
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.
Lily provided us with excellent service, quickly answering any questions throughout the purchase process – thank you so much!
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 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.
Very helpful staff and efficient to deal with, speedy communication. Completed quickly.
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.
Excellent staff and wonderful team. Helped all the way through from the first day to the last.
Amber from Durrants, Harleston has been an amazing support with the purchase of our new house. She has tirelessly followed up solicitors which has made the buying of our house a smooth process. Thank you Amber for being a superstar. Would recommend Durrants and would use them again!
Everyone at Durrants were very helpful and Gabi especially helped to speed things along with the respective solicitor’s and the vendors thank you.
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.
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 .
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.
From start to completion can not fault the service, nothing was too much trouble and all queries from myself were answered quickly and professionally.
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!
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.
From start to finish Gabi was very efficient and helpful in the purchase of my mum’s property. Highly recommend.
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.
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’m very happy with the level of service; professional and helpful
Superb service from Koryn and Caroline. They had a very difficult to deal with finicky seller and they managed the sale extremely well.
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.
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.
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.
