Ollie Rivers was outstanding!

Ollie Rivers and Lara Clark-Ward at Bidwells were absolutely fantastic in helping us sell our house during these trying times with high interest rates. Right from the excellent marketing brochure till the end of completion was taken care of smoothly and professionally. There was always constant contact with updates, support, advice and issues were resolved quickly. We had a very good experience with Ollie and his team and would highly recommend using them if in need of a house transaction.

Quick and Proactive

Bidwells showed me round the flat at 1pm on a Wednesday. By 3pm I indicated we were keen. James immediately called to get more details. Within 24 hours we were told we had the flat subject to references which were quick and easy and all online. All the time, James kept in contact and guided us through the process. The experience we received was excellent.

Great support and service

We recently bought a new build and the developer was using Bidwells as their estate agents. We had a bumpy road with the purchase as two buyers for our old house dropped out. Andy and Frances were so good at supporting us through this and once we got our third buyer they helped us push our solicitors (and asked them the right questions too) in order for our completion before our mortgage offer expired. We wouldn't be in our beautiful new home without them! The service they provided was amazing.

First class support on house sale

Bidwells acted on the recent sale of our property in central Cambridge, and provided fantastic support from start to finish. They were extremely quick to get our property on the market, with high quality marketing materials, and quickly identified a buyer from their own database of contacts. They continued to provide excellent support through to completion and beyond. Andrew Tucker, Jess Arnold and the team were highly responsive and a pleasure to deal with throughout the process. I would recommend them very highly as highly experienced, knowledgeable and effective practitioners.

Rob Couch and Bidwells.

Rob is an old friend of mine so I may be somewhat biased. However, I have found that both Rob and Bidwells went well beyond the call of duty to effect the sale of my house in the Hemingfords. For example, the grass was overgrown (I live in the Far East); Rob didn't hesitate to go round and cut the grass at 9am on a Saturday morning!

Excellent estate agents

Our experience of Bidwells has been excellent, and we highly recommend them. Ollie Rivers is an exceptional agent; he guided us through our house sale process with care, clarity, efficiency and professionalism. His friendly manner, prompt communication and wise advice were greatly valued. The marketing and viewings at our property were managed well. We were also able to make our onward purchase through Bidwells, expertly guided by Robert Couch and Ollie. Our experience of the administration at Bidwells was also very good, and we were grateful to Lara Clark-Ward for her particular work on our sale and purchase. We are very glad we chose Bidwells!

We had a brilliant experience securing a place to rent in Cambridge with Bidwells in one of their fully managed properties. Special mention to James who arranged the rental and Ellie who manages the property. Ellie has been exceptional throughout the rental period. Thank you so much.

Fantastic service on purchase and sale, best agents in Cambridge

We used Bidwells (in particular Ollie Rivers) for both our sale and purchase end could not have been happier. Ollie did a fantastic job from the start of the process of putting our house on the market through to making sure that completion proceeds as we wanted. He is dynamic, professional, extremely efficient and all round excellent. The whole team at Bidwells was available, extremely pleasant to deal with and so helpful. We would (and already have) thoroughly recommend them.

Bidwells and Ollie Rivers a great team

Bidwells and especially Ollie Rivers did a great job of selling my flat. Ollie was realistic and professional in price setting and effective in marketing and I had a successful offer within days at the asking price. Leasehold properties are taking a while to sell now and Ollie was there throughout offering good advice - many thanks Ollie! I would certainly use this team again.

I came to Bidwell after months of searching for a property and was unsuccessfully. I was initially supported by Irene who was amazing and went above and beyond. I was updated throughout the whole process and she passed me onto Jake when I found the property unfortunately this didn’t work out however, Jake worked hard to secure me another brother and reassured me throughout and I got an even better one. Bidwell is the best in the business but the Cambridge staff are fantastic.

Excellent service

Andrew was very friendly and knowledgeable about our old house. The photographer did a fantastic job and the brochure was excellent. Jess did a sterling job in organising the many viewings over the course of nearly a year. Mark and others were a real pleasure to meet as they conducted the viewings.Everyone was understanding of our probate situation and the sadness involved with selling the family home. It is not cheap to sell a house but we did really feel Bidwells overall did a very good job. It was a shame we didn't end up getting the value we agreed on - had to drop the price a bit after the offer was accepted because of current events, but I am not sure there was a lot we could have done about that. Possibly a little harder bargaining.... not my speciality!

Outstanding

I have recently completed the purchase of my new home through Bidwells, after a year of viewings and failed bidding wars. Thanks to Warrick and his team, not only did I manage to purchase a new home, but it is also exactly what I wanted for my growing family. Warrick recommended this property to me when it first came on the market, then worked tirelessly to facilitate the sale between myself and the vendor. Knowledgeable, efficient, and goes the extra mile. Absolutely outstanding!

Highly recommend the Bidwells team

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Ollie on the sale of our house. When we first met last year, Ollie gave us a realistic view of the suggested timeline for the sale and the price we can ask for. We were talking to another agency at the time that gave us a way higher and (as we now know) unrealistic price and a later timeline that would have gotten us into trouble with our new house now. Both Ollie and his colleague Lara were very responsive and stepped in to support both us and the buyers with anything required. Besides the obvious business connection, Ollie managed to build a connection with us on a personal level, so we did not feel bad when reaching out with any concerns or queries.We highly recommend working with Bidwells when selling your house.

New Build

Bought my new-build through Bidwells. Very easy to get hold of the staff when needed. Good effective communication in general. Felt supported throughout the purchase process. Kept up to date with the build progress. The developers Brampton Valley Homes were also very helpful. Again, easy to contact via phone & email. The site manager took note of my preferences and acted on them. The development is still unfinished but have not had any trouble with the ongoing building work/traffic/noise. Overall very happy with my new house!

The best property consultant in Cambridge area

We purchased our new home through Bidwells (Cambridge). Our experience with Bidwells was really great. Since it was my new home and i had no experience with UK housing market. But Andy from Bidwells supported me from the start to final purchase and we made the deal in very short time. Andy was really helpful and he was communicating every progress promptly. He is best! All in all I would highly recommend these guys to any one who is in the process of buying the house.

Very impressed with the rental side of the business!

I have just finished the process of starting a flat rental through Bidwells, and have been extremely impressed by Jake Jackson's performance, who led the process from Bidwells' side. Jake was polite, helpful and efficient, and we were able to go from flat viewing to signing contracts in 5 days. The Goodlord platform that Bidwells uses for background checks etc is also very user friendly and efficient.

Exceptional service from Billy Donaldson

I cannot speak highly enough about Billy Donaldson in the purchase of my first home. He was incredibly responsive, understanding, and patient with my many questions. When a few sticking points with the sale emerged, he was brilliant at resolving them and communicating clearly between me and the seller. The sale closed very quickly and I felt supported throughout the process. I am very impressed with Bidwells and can highly recommend their/Billy's services!

Niki and the BW team are gods

Niki and the BW team are gods. (gender neutral) I’m a lost yank and they were super understanding and patient throughout the whole process. Moving to the UK in the summer and looking for a house in Cambridge was daunting but, they made it pretty painless. They answered no less than 1,768 questions most of which were probably extremely basic but, they always laughed and helped via email or phone. The BW team also seemed to keep a better website compared to other property managers. Five stars / swipe right for elite customer service.

A heartfelt recommendation

We did the usual ‘beauty parade’ of Cambridge estate agents and were impressed from the outset by Bidwells’ Andrew Tucker’s professionalism and empathy as we embarked on a big life change. Throughout the sales process he expertly represented our interests with potential purchasers and helped us easily clear the inevitable hurdles that popped up during the conveyancing process. With our completion now imminent, we couldn’t recommend Andrew more strongly. When we started to consider a family relocation, we didn’t anticipate becoming cheerleaders for an estate agent! But we now most certainly are for Bidwells’ Andrew Tucker. If you’re considering selling your house, give him a call.

Bidwells have provided me with a superb service throughout! The process in finding a property, viewing this, making an application and then the process through to moving in was painless, smooth, fast and reassuring. I would highly recommend them! The ongoing service after moving in has greatly exceeded my expectations and all of the initial teething issues upon moving in were dealt with swiftly and professionally. I would particularly like to thank Mel Jarvis and Matt Kirkland who have been amazing and have gone above and beyond! I would definitely use them as estate agents again in the future.

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

We recently purchased a house and sold a property via Bidwells. Both Will and Rebecca helped us dramatically to go through this stressful process. They have been extremely professional, kept us updated at each stage and really worked hard to make us possible for ys to be in our new house for Christmas and new year.
