Our approach is simple: we focus on people and results. We believe that property decisions are never just about bricks and mortar—they’re about life changes, new beginnings, and long-term plans. That’s why we take time to understand your priorities and guide you with transparent communication, informed strategy, and unwavering care.

Honestly can’t praise Heather sales progression enough. professional at every stage. Nothing left, all chased up. Without having to request. My husband takes some impressing, but he sings chase Holmes praises. We are buying from chase Holmes. But honestly wish I had a choice about paying our estate agent or chase Holmes. Chase Holmes would win hand down. Can’t thank Heather enough. Praise where praise is due. Must also state thanks to Lisa too. Couldn’t have coped without both of your diligence Huge cuddle to all at Chase Holmes Thank you 🙏 so very muchPosted on Pauline Franklin23. July, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chase Holmes estate agents helped me to sell my bungalow within 3 days. Dominic undertook the valuation and did the photos and he was fantastic. He was polite, funny and very knowledgeable and a dog lover too👍. All staff involved were very helpful and communication from them was timely, relevant and correct. A special shout out to Julie, Heather and Lisa, who could not do enough to help. Thankyou to all of you and should I need to move again, heaven forbid, then I know where to come. Brilliant service.
