Absolutely amazed with the service from Cheffins, Saffron Walden and in particular, Sarah Facey, who is an absolute legend! She proactively contacted us at 9am the morning our letting became available. She then hastily arranged a viewing with the landlady for the same day, 3 hours later in fact, and by 13:30 we had agreed the deal with the landlady. Following on, we have met with Cheffins at their offices twice and received similarly high standards of customer service, delivered in a warm and friendly way. Sarah has continued to keep in contact and offered her number for the future, even though ongoing maintenance is not her department - really going above and beyond. AMAZING!... Read more

My boyfriend and I used Cheffins to help us find a flat in saffron Walden. We viewed a first one which unfortunately did not work out but Sarah was so helpful in sending through options she thought we would like, she got to know our preferences really well and second time lucky we found our perfect home! Sarah at Cheffins was lovely to work with, extremely accommodating around us being out the country during the vetting process and made the whole process run as smoothly as possible. We would definitely recommend Cheffins as an estate/letting agent.... Read more

Cheffins have been outstanding in the sale of my house, from the photos and marketing to finding the right buyer for my much loved home (thanks Max, Claire and Ella.) David was very helpful in negotiating for our new house and as a result, secured the sale for us. Due to unforseen delays during the sale process, I have to also mention Judith's negotiation skills and Laura from the lettings team who got the exchange over the line by both of them working together and thinking outside the box. Excellent joined up thinking and working and brilliant communication skills, an excellent Estate Agency without a doubt. Thanks to all of you!... Read more

I had the pleasure of viewing a flat this week with Sarah Facey. It was easily the most positive experience I've had with an agent in the UK. In my experience many agents try to sell whatever property you view so hard and without consideration to how your needs fit with the place that their advice and opinions lose all credibility. Sarah was a breath of fresh air. Talking to her is like talking to a friend. She answers questions honestly and thoughtfully rather than just reciting memorized sales pitches. She's won all the repeat business I can give her.... Read more

I would like to say a massive 'thank you' to Sarah Facey for how enjoyable she has made this experience which at times can feel very frustrating and taxing. In addition, her joyful and down-to-earth personality was very refreshing. More than not, when viewing a place, it feels like you're dealing with a Sales Person instead of an actual Person who is interested in you and genuinely cares. I can testify as many have in the reviews that she is a great addition to your company. Me taking this place has definitely played a massive role because of Sarah having been my contact-person. On the day of the viewing due to traffic, I was late by 20min but Sarah was very patient, showed my friend around (who arrived on time and as a result, could represent me). And once I arrived, I even got to see the place due to another person cancelling but the fact she would be that patient, remain professional and friendly is a big testament to her as a person. My friend totally liked her as well. I have to add as well, this remained consistent from beginning up till the signing of the contract, and the collection of the key. Having to deal with such an agency and Persons is very reassuring. Thank you very much (once again) Sarah!... Read more

Selling and moving house can be a very stressful I have been told... Thanks to 1st class service from Cheffins Saffron Walden we never experienced this. We were weighing up which agent to go with locally, we had our home valued by Max who was by far the keenest to get our business from all agents seen and we felt his enthusiasm. This proved a great choice as within a few days of going up for sale we had nearly 30 viewings and a number of offers. It was very clear each person we dealt with played a key role in the sale, negotiation and then co ordinating. David was excellent from the start, Judith negotiating, then very soon we were with Sandra who was all over the communications. The top class service was not limited to these 2, it was across the board. Would not hesitate to do business with Cheffins again in the future and thank you for such a good experience.... Read more

Cheffins (Saffron Walden) have recently assisted us with the selling of our property and we have been very impressed with their service. Right from the start when Max came to value our home, we felt in safe hands, and that has continued right the way through. We have dealt with several of the team and they have always been professional and responsive, dealing with our enquiries promptly and efficiently. What really sets them apart for me though is that really know what they are talking about. They know the market so well and have given us so good advice all the way through. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them and can’t thank them enough.... Read more

We’ve had a very positive experience selling our house through Cheffins recently; Bruce gave us sound advice on pricing, the photos were great and the advertising was professional which all generated plenty of buyer interest. We quickly agreed a deal and Shannen oversaw the transaction through to completion, ensuring the process ran smoothly. Inevitably there were wrinkles along the way of the conveyancing process and Shannen proved very helpful in resolving these - thank you!! The fee charged by Cheffins was competitive. All in all we would definitely recommend Cheffins to anyone thinking of selling their home in the Saffron Walden area.... Read more

We recently sold our property with Cheffins, who were professional, communicative and courteous from start to finish. When things got particularly tricky near the time of exchange and completion, Shannen went above and beyond to ensure everything went ahead - taking the time to understand and communicate with all parties involved. Cheffins also recommended an outstanding mortgage advisor, Danny Sewell of Elite Mortgages, who I would not hesitate to recommend.... Read more

This is the second house I have sold through Cheffins and they have been fantastic on both occasions. The house I have just sold was particularly complicated with about 7 houses in the chain and I'm not sure it would have gone through without the perseverance, focus and hard work of Max and particularly Shannon. She kept me informed of everything throughout the protracted negotiations. I recommend you use them if selling in the Saffron Walden area. Thank you both... Read more

I love Cheffins. The landlords they represent have the most amazing properties that are very simple to fall in live with. We haven't yet managed to land a place with Cheffins, mainly due to an issue with our guarantor's details not being sent by a third party despite much chasing. While my heart was broken by this, I can't fault Cheffins at all. I've been mainly speaking with Charlotte Mines, and she is fantastic. She's really been working hard for us. Whether or not her efforts are fruitless remains to be seen, but I've been so grateful for the help she's offered as well as the advice, her responsiveness, and her humanity. Any tenant or landlord should be over the moon for how hard she likely works for them.... Read more
