Selling a house is not an easy process, the photographs and viewing can be stressful and time consuming, but for me the post offer stage is by far the most stressful and frustrating phase. This is when you sales progressor come in to steer the process and act as a focal point for everything and everyone. I would like to recognize Neave Chambers (Senior Sales Progressor) at Cheffins for doing this role so well and in such a professional manner. Neave acted in a calm, focused manner, always providing an update even when there was no updates to give, but still having that calm and encouraging word to keep going. A big thank you to Neave, Cheffins is lucky to have you.

Holly Claydon - The BIGGEST thank you! Holly - I honestly could not be more grateful for everything you've done for us. From our first phone call I was feeling so positive about working together to find our home. "Gone above and beyond" would be an understatement. She is just absolutely on it, replies are so fast and so helpful, doesn't miss a thing, is so positive and happy, and singlehandedly made the entire process stress-free and easy. The BIGGEST thank you from myself and our little family. We're so grateful for you!

Highly professional, friendly and helpful staff. Josh gave one of best viewings we had while house hunting. He had all the house information ready and answered all our questions. Caroline went above and beyond including tacking a long chain, chasing solicitors and keeping in touch during a difficult transaction.

Cheffins - Cambridge - from start to finish, I received an excellent service. Richard carried out the valuation and gave me clear, honest advice from the outset, staying supportive throughout the whole process. The brochure was produced to a very professional standard, with great photography that really showcased the property.
