Finding the right home

Finding the right home is about more than ticking boxes on a property portal. It is about understanding what feels right, navigating the market with confidence and having experienced guidance when it matters.

From houses for sale in Cambridgeshire to homes in Suffolk, including Cambridge, Ely, Newmarket, Cottenham and Burwell, we help buyers cut through the noise, discover distinctive homes and move forward with clarity. With a long-standing appreciation for architecture, design and what makes a house a home, we take a more thoughtful approach to helping you find the right fit.

Buying questions, answered

How flexible is the asking price?

Every property is different. Pricing reflects market conditions, buyer demand and the seller’s expectations, so offers should be based on evidence rather than assumption. We can help you judge what is realistic.

Does time on the market matter?

It can offer useful context, but it rarely tells the full story. A property may have been repriced or remarketed, so understanding the detail behind it is often more important.

Why are the owners selling?

Reasons vary, from relocation to family changes. Where appropriate, we will share helpful context, but the focus should always be whether the property is right for you.

What should I offer on a property?

The right offer depends on comparable evidence, market conditions and the seller’s position. We help buyers approach negotiations with confidence.

I recently used Pocock and Shaw estate agents for the sale of my house and would highly recommend them! It was a complex chain and the staff went above and beyond to keep things moving. Special thanks to Kevin, Jan & Sandra who provided a fantastic service throughout. They responded quickly to any queries/issues/requests and were always friendly, professional, and effective. Thank you!

Sandra and all others at Pocock who helped in the sale of my mother's bungalow were always prompt in their actions and calls and patient and understanding when it was most needed.

Cannot sing their praises enough. From start to finish they took a planned and methodical approach to the whole process rather than just snapping some pictures and bunging it on rightmove and that be it. Chris always kept us in the loop and was happy enough to pick up the phone rather than just hide behind sending emails whether it was good news or bad. If we ever decide to move again I'd happily go with them (the feeling may not be mutual)

An excellent experience from start to finish completing on both a sale and a purchase with Pocock & Shaw. Chris, Elen, Magnus & the team were all involved throughout the entire process and made what can be a stressful process as easy as it could be. Communication and updates were frequent which kept us informed about the progress of both transactions. Would highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks again!

I engaged Pocock & Shaw once for my elderly mother and again as her executor. I found them excellent. They gave good pricing advice, advertised the property attractively, did proper due diligence on prospective buyers, showed them round & brought the transaction along to completion very effectively. They returned calls promptly and were pleasant to deal with. I would certainly use them again.

I recently purchased a house through Pocock and Shaw, and I couldn't be happier with the service, especially from Elen. When issues cropped up, she truly went above and beyond, working incredibly hard to resolve them and ensure my purchase went through smoothly. Her dedication made a potentially stressful process feel seamless. Highly recommend!

I had a very positive experience with Pocock + Shaw, particularly working with Judy and the lettings team. Throughout the tenancy and especially during the end-of-tenancy process, their communication was clear, professional, and timely.

The deposit process was handled fairly and transparently, and I was pleased to receive the full deposit back without unnecessary delays or disputes. Any maintenance issues raised during the tenancy were dealt with efficiently, with quick responses and reasonable turnaround times, which made living in the property much less stressful.

I would be happy to recommend Pocock + Shaw to other tenants looking for a responsive and professional property management team

I’ve been in contact with several estate agents recently, and Pocock + Shaw have stood out as the most friendly, responsive, and efficient. Mary in particular has been fantastic — proactive, helpful, and quick to respond. Thank you for making the process so much easier.
