The Lion and Swan hotel and restaurant is one of the most iconic and historically recognisable buildings in Congleton. It’s been lovingly refurbished to the highest of standards and it’s a pleasure to spend time there
What I’m most proud of is the people behind this business. I may be at the heart of it, but none of this would have been possible without the love, support and hard work of my wife and daughter. Alongside them, we have an incredible team who genuinely care about our clients and each other. Our success is built on people, values and doing the right thing — and that’s something I’m truly proud of.
Everyone loves a clean and decorated home. You can really improve a home’s desirability through presenting it cleanly, nicely decorated and with good floor coverings.
Be ready to offer, having to hand your chain details, proof of ability (cash and mortgage certificate) to buy and 2 forms of identification
Ensure the property is well ventilated to prevent the causes of condensation. Good decor, clean flooring, clean throughout a must. Give it to them immaculate, expect it back immaculate. Anything less will make it difficult to challenge a deposit claim should it become adjudicated by the redress scheme.

Little Moreton Hall. Another stunning example of the rich history in the area. It also holds a special place for me, as not only did I work here as a student, but I had the fantastic experience of being a TV extra on a big production . Something I’ll never forget .
After our daughter, my education and being co-owner of Chris Hamriding, it would have to be getting that first rung on the ladder with my first house purchase. It’s the best thing you can ever do for yourself. I always say just go for it!

Getting to where I am today off my own back.
I’m a member of PropertyMark – NAEA level 3 in residential sales and have been in the industry since I was 20, with 12 years experience in the Cheshire housing market.
It has to be the sheer pace of it, no day is the same! I class myself as a ‘people person’ and really take pride in my work. I love dealing with some many different types of people as everyone has a different objective & outlook on things, it’s so fascinating!
Hands down Astbury Golf club; rain sleet or shine, you’ll usually find me in the rough! Me and my Fiancé also live quite close to the canal too so I always try and divert our walks so we can wander the public pathways through the course! I occasionally get the mountain bike out and cycle up the cloud when the weather allows and stop off at the local en-route home!
Managed to get a ‘hole in one’ back in 2016! Besides that, buying a property and creating a home with Lindsey (fiancée) and Lola (Cat/alarm clock!)
De-clutter, no one wants to see busy mantle pieces, dog beds or endless pictures of your friends & family, it will really help showcase your space!
Make sure you get a survey and please view the house you are buying before you exchange, you would be surprised at how many people do not have one final look before it becomes legally binding!
I love to problem solve, which can be a major part of my day and just helping clients through the journey of buying the house of their dreams through to completion
Being the bearer of good news when clients can collect keys to their new home!

Create a good professional first impression as you will likely only have that one opportunity before the client makes their decision.
Before committing to purchase a property do your research thoroughly and make sure you have the relevant deposit and finances in place.

Nearly a decade in Digital Marketing in the property market.
Being out and about discovering every nook and cranny of the local area and being to admire the timeless beauty of Cheshire landscape and surroundings. I also enjoy seeing how people live and design their homes and of course creative process of showcasing clients’ homes in best possible light.
I couldn’t possibly pin point one specific place as I keep discovering new places on my travels around the area and then come back to explore them in my free time. Me and my daughter are also weekend regulars at Skatepark in Queens Park in Crewe and often visit Sandbach
My partner and my daughter for being strong and determined in making our decision to leave our life in London behind and moving to Cheshire – a success story and also buying our first home.
With over 30 Years in the property industry, including running my own business “Bespoke Lettings”, I pride myself on building trusted relationships, offering honest advice, and making clients property journey as smooth and stress-free as possible.
I enjoy helping people, delivering great service and being part of a great team
Cheerbrook Farm — I love supporting local farmers and local producers, and it’s a great place to buy fresh locally sourced produce
I’m most proud of my family and building of my own home.
Listen first, communicate honestly, and keep your clients informed every step of the way
Know your budget, keep an open mind, and don’t be afraid to ask questions.
I have 10 years’ experience working as a Senior Residential Sales Consultant covering the Sandbach and surrounding area. I love getting to know my clients and making what can be a stressful process as smooth and enjoyable as possible.
I’m passionate about learning and recently completed my Level 2 Estate Agency Apprenticeship, achieving a Distinction! It was a great opportunity to build on my experience and pick up some new knowledge along the way. Whether I’m negotiating the best deal, keeping a sale on track, or showing someone around what could be their dream home, I always bring plenty of enthusiasm, local knowledge, and a friendly approach. There’s nothing better than helping people take their next step on the property ladder!
I love the variety that comes with being an estate agent—there’s never a dull moment! Whether I’m meeting new people, showing off fantastic homes, negotiating a great deal, or helping a sale cross the finish line, every day brings something different. I also have to admit I love getting a peek inside beautiful homes (it’s definitely one of the perks of the job!). Every property has its own character and story, and I genuinely enjoy seeing the unique features that make each one special. It’s incredibly rewarding to help people move on to their next chapter and know I’ve played a part in making it happen.
That’s a tough one—there’s just too much choice! Staying on a property theme I would say The Old Hall because of its historic timber-framed building, cosy rooms, and traditional atmosphere. It feels like stepping into a piece of the town’s past.
It’s cliché but it has to be my family.
Don’t underestimate the power of a clean, well-presented home!
A fresh coat of paint, a good declutter, and a thorough clean can make a huge difference. Buyers often connect a well-maintained home with a well-cared-for property, which can help achieve stronger offers.
You don’t need to spend a fortune—just take the time to show your home at its absolute best.
Be in a position to proceed before you start viewing!
Before you fall in love with your dream home, make sure you’re ready to move forward. If you need to sell your current property, get it on the market first so you’re in the strongest position when you find the right home.
It’s also important to understand your budget by speaking with a mortgage broker or lender and obtaining an Agreement in Principle. Online calculators can give a rough idea, but professional advice will give you a much clearer picture of what you can realistically afford.
Being prepared means you can act quickly when the perfect property comes along and shows sellers that you’re a serious buyer.
I have worked in Lettings for almost 30 years now!
I love working with a great team
It has to be Birds for a mint & Lamb sandwich!
My Beautiful 4 Boys, Jake Olie, Chaz & Max (oh and my gorgeous Weimaraner, Winston!)
A beautifully presented property at the start of the tenancy encourages tenants to keep the property like a shiny new pin.
Make sure your letting-ready with rent, deposit and references all in place.
I have over 40 years of experience in sales, management, and the part exchange department.
I really love the buzz of being part of a great team. I also love meeting new people and enjoy assisting people on their individual needs or requirements.
I love to brunch at Sienna’s in Congleton. I also love the local deli on Park Lane, Sandbach!
I think it would have to be being part of the WI. I am vice president and I have always got jam and cakes on the go!
Presentation is key, ensure everything is clear of clutter. Get your bread in the oven and coffee on the stove!
Ensure your deposit is ready and your credit score is tickety boo!
Get the legal advise you need ready to let your property out. This will give you peace of mind that your property is in good hands.
I have over a years’ experience in lettings where I have experienced a variety of situations within the lettings process and obtained certificates in the new renter’s rights legislation.
Meeting new people and helping them find a new home.
My favourite place is Brereton Heath Nature Reserve, where I can take my dog for a walk and my children round on their bikes and stop off for a milkshake and coffee at the Little Cow Shed.
I am most proud of my 2 little girls and my little family unit.
Always set a realistic budget and always think about utility and bills on top of rent.
Ensure you have the legal compliance in place for your property.
