Extraordinary service from start to finish - finally an estate agent who is smart, fast, lazer like on honesty and feedback and actually keeps you fully appraised of all aspects of your sale. A shrewd negotiator with a good sense of humour to boot! We have bought and sold many properties over the years and this is the first agent who actually confirmed exchange and completion before the solictor did! Cannot recommend Michael Houlden and his team highly enough. Don't give your home to anyone else.

A challenging transaction made possible by Knight Frank. I bought via the selling agents Knight Frank. My own sale transaction turned into the stuff of nightmares and took 7 months to complete! Throughout this time I dealt with Michael Houlden at the Cambridge office of Knight Frank. Michael was brilliant throughout and had to do rather a lot of placating of his understandably increasingly anxious sellers. He’d check in with from time to time and always offer sensible, but not overbearing, advice on how I might resolve the various obstacles in the way of my own sale. On top of that Michael always responded immediately to any queries I had. I’ve just woken up in my beautiful new home and I don’t think I’d have been able to say that unless I’d had the support, as I did, from Michael.
