The team were helpful and efficient throughout the whole transaction of my sale.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
The staff at Durrants Southwold were excellent communicators, reassuring throughout the whole selling process.
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.
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!
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.
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 .
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.
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.
Really pleased with a friendly service in difficult times.
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.
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.
Gabi has been very professional and a huge help in helping us through the whole process, would not hesitate to recommend them.
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 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.
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.
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!
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 !
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.
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 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.
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.
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” !!!
Staff great to work with when selling a house.
Everyone at Durrants were very helpful and Gabi especially helped to speed things along with the respective solicitor’s and the vendors thank you.
Durrants of Halesworth are highly recommend. The whole team were excellent. Imogen kept us informed throughout the whole process, very knowledgeable and extremely helpful.
We 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.
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.
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.
Lisa and Koryn got us over the finishing line of quite a journey. Many thanks to them.
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.
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
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.
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.
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!
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 purchased a property via Durrants, they provided very friendly and professional service, would recommend to anyone in need of their services.
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.
Absolutely fantastic service from Imogen.
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 .
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.
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.
Fiona and her team were a pleasure to deal with. They were proactive, always helpful and responsive.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
Very helpful staff and efficient to deal with, speedy communication. Completed quickly.
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 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.
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!
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.
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!
Eleanor is always very helpful and makes sure we are looked after if we have any problems with our rented property.
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.
From start to completion can not fault the service, nothing was too much trouble and all queries from myself were answered quickly and professionally.
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 would like to thank Durrants estate agents Halesworth for our recent property sale. Gabi and her team were very helpful and efficient.
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.
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 service, especially from Lily. Thanks again!
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.
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.
Excellent friendly knowledgeable estate agents
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.
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.
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.
Gabi was so helpful and efficient throughout the purchase of my house. Thank you so much, very professional team.
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.
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.
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.
Excellent polite service, chased when relevant.
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.
Durrants in Halesworth sold my mothers property. Gabi Wones was very professional with very good communication. 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.
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.
All the staff at Durrants were polite, helpful and knowledgeable. Especially Koryn and Caroline. They were always available to answer our questions whether it was from a phone call or e- mail. They were there every step of the way and after. I would highly recommend the team at Beccles Durrants.
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.
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!
Excellent service and good communication.
Thank you for great service from a fellow guitar player!
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!
Excellent, friendly, knowledgeable estate agents.
All the staff I dealt with were very helpful and kept me informed at all stages.
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.
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!
Gabi Wones in particular, went above & beyond expectations, without her intervention our sale would have fallen through, can’t recommend highly enough!
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.
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.
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!
Excellent customer service. Great communication and really lovely staff to deal with. Thanks so much.
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.
Excellent – very efficient and professional.
