Torquay property experts since 2010
  • paragraph

    Absolute are proud to be the 'South West Regional Estate Agency' of the year, having won Gold at the prestigious Negotiator Awards in 2021. We've sold and let properties from our local offices since 2010 and now, with 4 contemporary offices across Torbay & Teignbridge, we are well equipped to assist with all your property needs.

    If you're selling or letting a property in Torquay you need an agent who will make your home stand out from the crowd, ultimately achieving you the best price in the right timescale. Our innovative ethos has always put us at the forefront of agency, from the use of the latest property technology to improve the selling and letting process, to the modern designs of our offices and marketing. Above all else, our primary focus is to expertly advise and provide you with outstanding customer care. We combine the widespread exposure of our national network and online reach with the local expertise and knowledge of property professionals who genuinely care about your property as much as you do.

    Our Torquay Sales Department is headed up by Director Darren Hole, who has over 26 years of experience working in estate agency within Torbay. Darren is assisted by our highly accomplished and established Torquay team, who have been helping Torquay residents with their properties from our modern Wellswood office since 2016. We know that selling your home is one of the biggest financial decisions you will ever have to make and choosing who to trust with this is key to a successful sale. Our vendors love our professional photography, bespoke brochures, 3D virtual tours and extensive social media marketing that we are able to offer, and buyers find them invaluable when selecting which properties to view.

    Our Lettings team is headed up by our Lettings Director Chelsey Durrant who won the coveted 'Best Property Manager Gold Award' at the Sunday Times Letting Agency of the Year Awards in 2016. At Absolute, a unique part of our service is that you'll be assigned a designated property manager who will look after you and all aspects of the lettings process, including ensuring your compliance. If you are looking for an agent to manage your property as if it was their own, we'd love to talk to you.

    Alternatively, if you are a landlord looking to expand your portfolio we'll be happy to keep a look out for suitable properties for you based on your investment aims. In fact, we specialise in helping landlords who would like to sell with their tenants still in residence, helping you to generate cashflow from day one of purchase.

    'Our vision is to be the number one choice of agent in Torbay, Teignbridge and the South West: To be the first name that comes to mind when a landlord or vendor considers selling or letting their property, offering a service so good that our customers recommend us above all others. Our goal is to be the most reliable, honest, friendly and caring agent with our brand recognised by everyone who will consider us to be the 'Absolute' best.'

    Our Torquay office is situated in the heart of the Wellswood at 13 Ilsham Road, Torquay. We look forward to welcoming you for a coffee, tea, soft drink or even a glass of Prosecco to talk about your moving or investment plans with no obligation whatsoever.

    After living in Torbay all my life I made the decision in 1997 to dedicate my career to helping people move and have succeeded thousands of times over the years. Having previously spent nearly 20 years at a local firm of estate agents, I quickly progressed to Regional Manager overseeing 8 offices in Torbay and Teignbridge, and winning many personal and team awards along the way, before joining Absolute in 2016.

    Estate agency has always been the family business and having grown up with parents working in the industry, my career path was mapped out from a very early age! Starting in a large independent agency in 2013, I quickly gained promotion into more senior roles and have enjoyed opportunities in dealing with high-end properties.I joined Absolute in 2019 overseeing the Paignton sales office which has grown from strength to strength. I enjoy helping clients and my aim is to make it a more personal and stress-free experience for all.

    As a long-standing Senior Negotiator, I joined the Absolute team back in 2014 as part of the original office, and I've enjoyed being part of the growth of the business since. Having worked in the Wellswood office since opening in 2016, I've been able to forge strong relationships with our clients.

    With an emphasis on professionalism and clear and objective advice, I relish the challenge of agency and expanding my knowledge base to provide clients with a refreshing and calming approach. It has been a delight to be part a fantastic team which has clear direction and watching Absolute thrive and expand during my time here is a joy to watch. Capped off with our recent win for 'South West Estate Agency' of the year at the Negotiator Awards, I am excited to be part of Absolute's future.

    Tina Liddiard - Torquay Sales Manager
    After a 2 week work experience as an estate agent whilst still at school and being the daughter of an estate agent in the Midlands when I was a young child, I decided once I had finished school it would be the career for me. Initially I worked for an independent agent then continued my career in another sales role before rejoining the estate agency business in 2000 in a corporate enviroment before moving back to an independent agent but working my way up on the way.I have good local knowledge of the bay and the process of the house move, and aim to offer a first class service. I enjoy all aspects of the role from conducting viewings to the actual move day and get great satisfaction when I can help find that dream home to finally handing over the keys.

    I am delighted to be part of the Wellswood Team at Absolute as we pride ourselves on our service and aim to go that extra mile.

    Testimonials from Sellers

    • Seller Testimonial

      Always prepared to go that extra mile
      This is the second time we have used Absolute to sell a property and we have found their dedication and professionalism second to none. The sales team were always prepared to go that extra mile. Our property was probably not the easiest one they have ever sold, with numerous hiccups along the way, which they have taken in their stride. We would not hesitate to recommend Absolute to anybody who is looking for a reliable Estate Agent. We wish them every success in all of their future endeavours. 

      David Kitson - May 2023

      I couldn't recommend Absolute estate agents enough! I was with another company beforehand and the difference in a professionalism and friendly staff was huge, amazing customer service, they keeped me informed at every stage. I don't normally write reviews, but I couldn't not praise Absolute estate agents enough. Kim went above and beyond to keep my sale on track. I will definitely use them again.

    • Buyer Testimonial

      Always kept us informed
      The Team at the Torquay branch were so helpful when we bought our first home. Always kept us informed and did everything they could to chase updates from solicitors to get the sale through as quickly as possible. Very friendly, we would definitely recommend.

      Millie Noble - July 2023
    • Buyer Testimonial

      Polite, professional and helpful
      We purchased a house through Absolute. Our journey was very protracted and far from straightforward, no fault of Absolute though - at every turn they kept us informed of what was happening, and were polite, professional and helpful in all their dealings with us. I want to say a huge thank you to all the staff at the torquay branch (I feel we know them all very well by now!) for playing such an important role in helping us secure our dream home at long last.

      Caroline Plumb - June 2023
