Industrial-chic properties with plunge pools and village cottages, with panoramic views - Rob has seen it all, and he thoroughly enjoys getting to know all manner of residents across the historic city centre and leafy suburbs of Cambridge.
Communication and relationships are key for Rob – he puts in the hours ‘on call’ for his clients and insists on seeing through a transaction himself from start to finish.
Avoiding a rushed sale, Rob encourages thorough examination of opportunities for possible uplifts in price, sometimes calling upon our Planning and Heritage experts. Rather than selling to the first buyer, Rob carefully probes the market, building interest and testing your property to achieve its optimum value.
Rob has always worked in Cambridge and is delighted with the increase in cycle paths around the city. You’ll probably spot him cycling around town on viewings, having competed in the Bidwells Bike Ride for charity each year. He’s super competitive and driven to be the best – which pays off for his vendor clients, but not always for him on the golf course!

A guide to decluttering your home
Decluttering is the cheapest and most cost/time effective step in the homestaging process. With very little financial expenditure you will not only have a positive impact on the market appeal of the property that you are selling but you will also be taking steps towards packing, ready to move to your new home. Our guest blogger, Sam from SpaceStagers, talks us through the decluttering process.
Residential Spotlight: Decluttering to sell
When it comes to selling your home, potential buyers want to see everything on offer. They want to imagine where their furniture and family photos will go. That’s why it’s vital to present the property in the best light by minimising overall clutter.
Period Property Interior Design
When you have a period property it is important to try and maintain character and have the heritage of the house reflected within the interior design.
Herb planters
Kitchens are the busiest room and hub of your home, but they’re often neglected in terms of interior design. If getting your kitchen redone is a bit over your budget, an easy and affordable way to freshen up your kitchen is by having planters filled with a variety of different herbs.
Schools and education matter to prospective homebuyers
How close your home is to your children’s school is incredibly important when deciding where to move. Our recent survey showed us just how essential being within school catchment is to the residents of Cambridgeshire.
