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 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 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.
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.
Superb service from Koryn and Caroline. They had a very difficult to deal with finicky seller and they managed the sale extremely well.
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.
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.
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.
Everyone at Durrants were very helpful and Gabi especially helped to speed things along with the respective solicitor’s and the vendors thank you.
August at Durrants, and the rest of the team made the purchase of our house such a smooth process. August stayed in touch the whole time and chased third parties when necessary. Was a pleasure dealing with the team and the house warming gift was much appreciated.
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!
Friendly, personable and professional service.
Excellent service, especially from Lily. Thanks again!
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.
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.
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.
Excellent – very efficient and professional.
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.
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!
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.
From start to completion can not fault the service, nothing was too much trouble and all queries from myself were answered quickly and professionally.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
Excellent service from valuation to completion on my parent’s house. Always helpful to both ourselves and the purchasers.
The staff at Durrants Southwold were excellent communicators, reassuring throughout the whole selling process.
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 found this estate agent to be friendly and professional in their approach to buyers. Thanks for a smooth process!
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!
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.
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.
Gabi is very professional and efficient. I would highly recommend her and Durrants.
Excellent staff and wonderful team. Helped all the way through from the first day to the last.
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.
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
Excellent and helpful services. Dealt with any queries or questions promptly. Would recommend.
Fiona and her team were a pleasure to deal with. They were proactive, always helpful and responsive.
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.
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!
Very helpful staff and efficient to deal with, speedy communication. Completed quickly.
Very good service with regular updates regarding the sale of our property. Prompt and efficient exchange of contracts and completion.
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.
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.
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!
As a landlord I have dealt with Durrants for many years. Wendy has been our contact for a number of those years overseeing our properties. She always handles every situation with commitment and professionalism. Wendy is a great asset to Durrants with her comprehensive knowledge of the letting side of the business and would recommend her to anyone who is thinking of letting their property.
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.
Excellent service and good communication.
Eleanor Richards is an excellent property manager—professional, responsive, and very attentive. She did a wonderful job handling everything and made the whole experience easy and stress-free. Highly recommended!
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.
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.
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.
Lily provided us with excellent service, quickly answering any questions throughout the purchase process – thank you so much!
Really friendly and helpful. Always kept us informed and our house was sold really quickly.
Excellent friendly knowledgeable estate agents
Lisa and Koryn got us over the finishing line of quite a journey. Many thanks to them.
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.
Really pleased with a friendly service in difficult times.
I found Durrants to be proactive and helpful. In particular, thank you to Gabbi for negotiating a deal on my most recent property purchase.
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.
Durrants in Halesworth sold my mothers property. Gabi Wones was very professional with very good communication. Thank you.
I’ve just rented a house through Durrants and Eleanor Richards was great to deal with. She has been efficient and proactive in all communications and an absolute professional at all times.
Excellent polite service, chased when relevant.
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.
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.
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.
We turned up to an open house without an appointment but your staff on site that day and afterwards were excellent and extremely friendly. Showing us around the house and explaining everything. Your branch manager Koryn Hudson worked with us tirelessly to agree a final offer and allowing us to move into the new house in around 11 weeks. This involved significantly more effort than usual, we are truly thankful to Koryn, Durrants and Badger Building. Above all we have a really great house with a quality build throughout.
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.
Very helpful through all stages of the buying process – highly recommended.
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.
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.
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.
I’m very happy with the level of service; professional and helpful
Staff great to work with when selling a house.
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.
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 customer service. Great communication and really lovely staff to deal with. Thanks so much.
Eleanor is always very helpful and makes sure we are looked after if we have any problems with our rented property.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
Gabi was so helpful and efficient throughout the purchase of my house. Thank you so much, very professional team.
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 .
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!
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.
From start to finish Gabi was very efficient and helpful in the purchase of my mum’s property. Highly recommend.
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.
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.
I can’t recommend Durrants enough. Great customer service, very helpful and professional. I would definitely use Durrants again.
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.
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.
Gabi was so helpful and efficient throughout the purchase of my house. Thank you so much, very professional team.
Very thorough survey report. Excellent service throughout.
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.
Amazing professional service keeping us informed throughout. Especially Lily who communicated every step to ensure completion. Well done Durrants.
