We've been letting our property with Bidwells for a number of years and I can't recommend them highly enough. Professional, helpful and ethical, it's always a pleasure working with them. Nothing is too much trouble. Thank you, Bidwells.

I have used Bidwells since 2008 and the service has been good and efficient. They may charge a rather high management fee (12.5%) but as a foreign investor, I have been happy for I can always depend on their professionalism and not worry about any maintenance or rental problems.
Thank you for your review, it is very much appreciated.

They get paid so much for doing so little, and paid me so little for doing so much
Because it is my line work I did all the professional photography, the floor plans, the virtual tour (and hosted it on my professional servers), advert text (because their draft was rubbish), and showed all the viewers around. For all this Bidwells very begrudgingly, and not without chasing them several times, paid £100 into my bank account without even informing me. (They claim theis is what they normally pay for that work and could produce proof, which, of course, they never did…) And what did they do for their £11,400 fee for “selling” the property (which was paid immediately on completion date, no chasing required)? Someone visited my property once to make a valuation, an ad with my photos and text was put on their website and one or two main property websites. And they took and made a few telephone calls from/to potential buyers and liaised with me for me to do the viewings. I would have spent far more time and skill than they did… I’m in the wrong business, because this estate agent, with their very plush new offices, gets paid (not earns) extortionate amounts of money for doing virtually nothing…
Thank you for your review, I have passed this on to the relevant team for feedback.

We worked with the Cambridge Bidwells team and they are completely fantastic and professional right from the initial call to understand our requirements, showing us properties matching those and the post processing after we selected one. They never fail to keep you updated of the progress, the actions you need to take and are always 1 phone call/email away if you need any assistance. We will always be working with them for any our property requirements. Thanks Irene, Tanya, Niki, Mel, Brendon and all the rest of the team. Warm Regards, S R

I am a new customer to this agency
I am a new customer to this agency, staffs were extremely helpful, they assist unconditionally, went through trouble to make my day of viewing pleasant, the ladies Jan and Sharon went beyond their duty to make the experience comfortable for a new customer, I wish them and their agent all the best and looking forward to be able to buy my first property with their assistance.
Thanks for your review, it is very much appreciated.

Ollie Rivers is the best estate agent I have dealt with!
I'm a buy to let landlord and have bought and sold a lot of properties over the past 30 years. I can honestly say that Ollie Rivers of the Bidwells Cambridge office is the best agent I've ever dealt with, anywhere, including London.I chose Bidwells because of their excellent local reputation, the fact they weren't a franchise or branch of a national firm and because we were impressed with Ollie when he pitched to list the property (one of 5 estate agents).Bidwells produced lovely photos, a professional listing, and we received two good offers in after the first set of viewings, and within a week of listing.Flats can be tricky to sell, but the sale took under 2 months - it was listed on 2 March and completed today, 26 April, which is extraordinarily quick. This didn't happen by accident. And although I have a great solicitor, I know that a lot of this was due to the excellent service of Ollie and the rest of the team. I had been a little worried that my flat might be the wrong end of the market for Bidwells, who normally sell large houses, but I needn't have worried. I got the same five star service as is given to sellers of larger properties.I was truly impressed and would recommend him without hesitation.

Selling our BTL house
Bidwells manage our BTLs and I recently instructed them to manage the sale of one those properties. All in all it was a very successful exercise and the whole process was well managed. We got the price we were hoping for and it sold pretty quickly, especially considering it was a challenging and historic house and there were tenants still occupying it during the viewings. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Ollie at Bidwells Cambridge for managing the sale so efficiently and keeping the tenants and ourselves regularly informed of developments.

the worse agent ever
It usually takes months for your requests to be response, sometimes it took 6 months for fixing an issue or sometimes you being ignore completely.
Thank you for your feedback and we are very sorry you have not had a positive experience with us. I have passed your comments on to the team who will be in contact.
