Abbey Properties and in particular Mervyn Harris were great throughout the entire process of my purchase. They were great at facilitating a speedy viewing, handling our offer, and subsequently keeping communication channels open. Mervyn helped with the inevitable bumps along the way. Highly recommend Abbey Properties.

We recently sold our house through Abbey Properties, and we were really happy with the way that Mervyn and his team supported us throughout the process. For us, some of the key points were: Mervyn is very relaxed and calm. He is not pushy, he is very knowledgeable about the area, he is responsive, and he provides sound advice. Mervyn is NOT one of the glib, fast-talking, 'shiny suit' estate agents that you are confronted with far too often. He is a genuine and thoughtful person. He is realistic on price. Many estate agents will give an inflated estimate of the value of a property in order to win the mandate - they will then ask you to drop the price a month or so later. Abbey Properties does not do that. Their price estimate is based on a solid understanding of the market, and it genuinely reflects the current market value. Preparation of the photos, video and property description was smooth and rapid. We had an opportunity to review the listing before it was published, and our comments were taken fully into account. We had as much notice as possible for viewings, and they were handled by Mervyn and his team without any problems. We had prompt and useful feedback after each viewing. Communication from everyone at Abbey Properties was also clear, polite and timely. Mervyn managed to create a great deal of interest in our property - and lots of viewings - in a very difficult market context. The Abbey Properties team worked tirelessly and calmly to promote our property, resulting in several potential buyers making an offer. Mervyn and the team handled negotiations with prospective buyers with great professionalism, keeping us fully informed at each stage. The team at Abbey Properties strikes the right balance between friendly/approachable and professional rigour. We can recommend Mervyn and his team without hesitation.

Mervyn has helped me sell and buy a property in Eynsham. He is always very patient and professional and able to answer any questions to ensure that the sale goes through as smoothly as possible. He understands the difficulties and challenges that arise and always finds a way to navigate around them. I will definitely contact Mervyn next time I want to sell.

Abbey Properties knowledge of the local market was the reason we choose them to sell our mother's house and with this knowledge, their professional and efficient approach meant that we found a buyer very quickly in what was at the time, a difficult market. Many thanks to all the team

As someone who bought a property through you, I just wanted to put on record how much I appreciated the service that you gave to the seller! Because you were superb. Your relaxed and informal approach belies a fantastic professionalism. This combination really does create a uniqueness – you are great to work with, nothing ever seems too much trouble, you communicate, you call back when you say you will, you respond to emails, you are a perfect liaison between two parties in a very stressful situation. I really cannot compliment you enough. On top of that, your knowledge of the Bampton area was what helped sell this property to us. The way you explained how the town had grown, the developments that had occurred over the years, far surpassed other agents who did not have that knowledge to share! Damian and Amy, I look forward to popping in to collect the keys from you and thank you for making this journey so pleasant. For anyone reading this who is considering buying or selling through Abbey Properties, I don’t think the experience can be much better. I come from a client service background and here, it is second to none. Thank you for looking after us so well, it was a super experience.

Cote, Bampton, house sale I live in London now, and there has been several thousand pounds worth of work required at the property all organised by Abbey, and performed by local tradesmen they recommended. The tradesmen worked to a good price and professional standard. Damian and Rebecca have been especially helpful and assisted with the sale of the property, in every way possible. Well done! and thank you very much. I can highly recommend them Simon

Great Price Achieved

I had my property on for rent with a large national company, who talked the talk, but just couldn't walk the walk. I then used my small local agent 'Abbey Properties', who by their own admission only have a small number of properties under management, but by God they were quick, professional and achieved the rent we wanted.

Sale of late relatives house

House was in a poor state and required probate so took a while to sell. However pleased with the outcome, Mervyn and Amy have great local knowledge and gave good advice
