Struggling to sell your home?
A fresh perspective, thoughtful marketing and experienced advice to help generate new interest in your property.
Get your sale moving again with Pocock & Shaw
If your property has been on the market longer than expected, it can quickly become frustrating and disheartening. At Pocock & Shaw, we help homeowners across Cambridge, Ely, Newmarket, Cottenham, Burwell and surrounding areas understand what may be holding a sale back, and what can be done to get things moving again.
Why is my property taking so long to sell?
There is rarely one single reason a property becomes a slow mover. Sometimes it is pricing, presentation or marketing. In other cases, the property may simply not be reaching the right buyers, or the original launch may have lost momentum too quickly.
At Pocock & Shaw, we take a fresh, honest look at what may be affecting interest levels. From photography and presentation to pricing strategy and buyer positioning, our team focuses on practical improvements that can help generate more enquiries, viewings and ultimately stronger offers.
A fresh approach can make a big difference
Many sellers come to us asking: Why am I not receiving offers on my property? or How can I attract more viewings for my property? Often, small changes can have a significant impact.
Thoughtful marketing, stronger presentation, accurate pricing and understanding how buyers behave in your local market all matter. Our approach combines local knowledge with design-led marketing and experienced sales advice, helping properties stand out for the right reasons and reconnect with active buyers.
Helping get your move back on track
Step 1
Review the current marketing
We assess how your property is currently being presented, including photography, wording, pricing and online visibility.
Step 2
Understand buyer feedback
Viewings and buyer feedback often reveal useful patterns. We help identify where interest may be dropping off and why.
Step 3
Refresh the presentation
Sometimes a fresh perspective, improved photography or small presentation changes can significantly improve buyer response. We use immersive video tours and drone footage to augment your property marketing.
Step 4
Reposition the pricing strategy
Correct pricing is about more than simply reducing the asking price. We look at market conditions, competing stock and buyer demand to position your property more effectively.
Step 5
Relaunch with renewed momentum
A carefully managed relaunch can help create fresh interest, improve visibility and reconnect your property with active buyers searching in the market.

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
