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.
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 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 friendly knowledgeable estate agents
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.
Koryn has been so helpful through a very hard emotional rollercoaster of a ride, thanks to her kind caring personality which has reassured us along the way. We didn’t sell through Durrants, we purchased a property with them. I can safely say she went over and above to help. I would recommend Koryn at Durrants in Beccles 100%.
I found Durrants to be proactive and helpful. In particular, thank you to Gabbi for negotiating a deal on my most recent property purchase.
We purchased a property via Durrants, they provided very friendly and professional service, would recommend to anyone in need of their services.
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.
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.
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.
Excellent polite service, chased when relevant.
Eleanor is always very helpful and makes sure we are looked after if we have any problems with our rented property.
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.
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 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!
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.
Amazing professional service keeping us informed throughout. Especially Lily who communicated every step to ensure completion. Well done Durrants.
From start to finish an absolute pleasure to deal with on my house sale. Communication throughout was great & it felt like a very friendly & personal service, like I was their only client. Wouldn’t hesitate to use them again & would highly recommend them. Thanks Koryn, Lisa, Caroline & team.
I 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.
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.
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!
Staff great to work with when selling a house.
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!
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.
I found this estate agent to be friendly and professional in their approach to buyers. Thanks for a smooth process!
Very good service with regular updates regarding the sale of our property. Prompt and efficient exchange of contracts and completion.
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.
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.
Gabi was so helpful and efficient throughout the purchase of my house. Thank you so much, very professional team.
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.
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
Gabi Wones in particular, went above & beyond expectations, without her intervention our sale would have fallen through, can’t recommend highly enough!
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.
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.
Fiona and her team were a pleasure to deal with. They were proactive, always helpful and responsive.
I can’t recommend Durrants enough. Great customer service, very helpful and professional. I would definitely use Durrants again.
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!
Excellent team and company. The girls we dealt with Roberta and Imogen who were incredible. Imogen met us at the property and is very knowledgeable and professional, once we negotiated a price with our vendors the girls were excellent no matter who we dealt with they kept us up to date with every step and helped us along the way to buying our first ever home together. The process was smooth and the team made it really easy to understand everything and explained anything we weren’t sure about! We would 100% recommended this estate agents really lovely team nothing is too small or big of an ask. We are now settled in our first home and it’s all thanks to the team at Durrents. Thank you!!
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.
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.
Gabi is very professional and efficient. I would highly recommend her and Durrants.
Durrants of Halesworth are highly recommend. The whole team were excellent. Imogen kept us informed throughout the whole process, very knowledgeable and extremely helpful.
Thank you for great service from a fellow guitar player!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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 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.
Excellent and helpful services. Dealt with any queries or questions promptly. Would recommend.
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.
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.
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.
Jasmine was thorough, very helpful and the whole process ran smoothly.
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.
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.
Very thorough survey report. Excellent service throughout.
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 .
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.
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 !
I had the pleasure of working with George Berry and his team on a transaction for my mother aged 85 who was under a lot of stress after the passing of her partner whereby my mother had inherited a property that proved troublesome to sell due to challenging market conditions.
George and his team acted at all times in my mother’s best interests, and I have been extremely impressed by their attention to detail and commitment in getting the transaction successfully closed within a three-week timeline from Durrants finding a qualified buyer.
I would certainly recommend both George and August in his team at the Durrants office in Diss to prospective sellers.
Very impressed. Thank you for your help and patience throughout.
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.
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.
Very helpful through all stages of the buying process – highly recommended.
Outstanding service from a very professional team, I would highly recommend, I can’t express how happy we are that we have finally found our perfect home. Thanks again team, we are looking forward to completing our purchase!!!!
Excellent polite service, chased when relevant.
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.
Excellent – very efficient and professional.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
The team were helpful and efficient throughout the whole transaction of my sale.
All the staff I dealt with were very helpful and kept me informed at all stages.
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.
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.
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.
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.
My wife and I have recently used Durrants for both our sale and purchase, and the whole team in Beccles has been quite frankly marvellous! It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster, given some external complications, but the team has guided us through the process in a really professional and friendly way. I would highly recommend using Durrants, and in particular the Beccles branch.
Whilst it was a team effort, I’d like to personally thank Koryn, Lisa, Caroline and Vanessa, who have been on hand throughout and who have had to deal with us at our most ‘needy’. The purchase of our dream home would not have been possible without you!
Thank you all so much
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.
The staff at Durrants Southwold were excellent communicators, reassuring throughout the whole selling process.
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.
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.
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’m very happy with the level of service; professional and helpful
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.
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.
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!
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.
Excellent, polite and efficient service once again, thanks Gabi
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.
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.
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

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.
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.
Gabi is very professional and efficient. I would highly recommend her and Durrants.
