We're trusted by our happy Landlords & Tenants

Rated Excellent with over 1,000 reviews

Best Agency l've come across, was very helpful thanks to Zivile who made the process of paper work so quick and easy, and who was very polite an understanding - and I had my flat key's within 3 days. Would definitely recommend, and definitely ask for Zivile she was amazing

I worked with Beth, who provided end to end support throughout the sale process, she kept me informed, chased the sellers as well as their solicitors and overall provided a level of comfort through a process which was quite exhausting at times.

I am a landlord renting my 5 properties with ABC gone for more than 5 years I am very happy the way the staff deal with me. Especially Sigita, who is very helpful, she always deals with my enquiries within 24 hours by email or text messages. I am buying 2 more properties and will definitely give them to ABC Gone to rent.

Excellent professional services, amazing staff, very friendly and welcoming - sorted everything for my property so smoothly and easily without any hassle. Definitely would recommend them to anyone looking to rent or buy. Will ONLY use this company for any further rentals or sales!!

I've worked with Bobby from ABC Gone for a number of years and I cannot recommend them enough. They are always professional and courteous. They have a great "can do" attitude and their ability to handle a large portfolio with ease makes them stand out from others in their field.

More About Essex

Keen to learn more about Essex? Learn the essential details below – from the transport links and property market to its schools and places of interest.

What’s Essex Like?

Essex is a large county, expanding beyond the built up confines of London into open fields, bustling towns and many quaint villages. It’s population is around 1.5 million, reflecting its rural setting – with most of the population residing in a few key towns like Chelmsford and Colchester.

Essex has long been considered a prime spot for commuters, with many excellent transport links running to central London. For this reason, many families choose to settle there and leave the city behind, finding a great deal more space to raise children and experience a more relaxed pace of life.

This is further emphasised by the celebrated collection of schools, and the fact that many properties have a lot more space, large gardens – and all for a much cheaper price. These factors make Essex an excellent spot for anyone who’s grown dissatisfied with the capital, and want to gain some distance from it.

Property In Essex

Architecture: Essex has a diverse range of property types, with many being large, spacious and with easy access to green spaces. Many parts of Essex have Victorian terraces as well as spacious Edwardian homes. At the same time, many of the smaller villages have historic cottages, barn conversions and larger, stately homes with distinctive architecture.

Developments: Currently, several development projects are enhancing the area, such as the regeneration of Chelmsford’s city centre and the North Essex Garden Communities project, which aims to create sustainable new communities with ample green spaces and new amenities.

Prices: Homes in Essex are attractively cheap compared to London, making them a major boon for commuters. For example, the average house price this past year was £431K (even flats in London sell for an average of £566k). Most sales here were for terraced homes, which sold below this average price for around £425K, while semis went for slightly more at £442K. Flats were significantly cheaper, and were priced around £308K. See here for the most up to date pricing information.

Transport Links

Essex is well regarded for its easy connections to London – whether by road, underground or rail. Take a look at some of the travel options below:

Travel by Road: Essex is well-served by road networks, with the M25 motorway providing a crucial link to the national motorways. The A12 and A13 are the major arterial routes, and these traverse the county while facilitating easy travel to London, East Anglia, and the South East. The A127 and A130 roads also play significant roles in connecting various parts of Essex.
Travel by train: Essex is generally well-connected to London and the surrounding regions. The county is served by several main train lines, including the Great Eastern Main Line and the West Anglia Main Line, which provide frequent services to London Liverpool Street, Cambridge, and Stansted Airport. Key train stations stand in Chelmsford, Colchester, and Shenfield. These function as major hubs for travel within the region.
Travel by Tube: The London Underground’s Central Line extends into Essex, reaching Epping, making it convenient for commuters traveling to the capital. Additionally, the c2c line connects South Essex towns like Basildon, Southend, and Grays directly to London Fenchurch Street.
