Report
I sold my property through Cockburn estate agents. The team in New Eltham office are fantastic. Everyone that I met was very helpful and respectful when arranging viewings. My property was sold very quickly and then passed to Loveleen who is their Sales Progressor. Loveleen is very good at what she does, she provided me with updates on the progress of the sale, chased solicitors and buyers. There was not one moment when I was not aware of how the sale was progressing.
If I had any problems with the solicitor she dealt with it. It was a painless and stressful experience using Cockburn. Although I have not mentioned everyone by name that does not mean that the rest are not as good, they are all fantastic from the manager down to the staff I met. They definitely know their market and can advise on the best way to present your property to the market.

I have just bought and sold using Cockburn. The team have been fantastic from start to finish. Sam and Charlie conducted viewings and found me a buyer quickly and also found me my new home, they were always friendly and helpful whenever I needed them. Loveleen was amazing at progressing my sale, being on the phone with updates for me and keeping me calm when problems came up. Peter was also so friendly and helpful. This team made my experience at a stressful time such a positive one. highly recommend and would definitely use again.

I cannot praise highly enough the service I have received from the team at Cockburn's. I rented my house through them for several years with a first class service, particularly from Louise, the Letting's Manager who was always on hand to sort any issues. I have just sold my property through Cockburn's and the sales team (Peter, Sam and Steve) are amazing, friendly, diligent and gave an amazing service from start to finish.
I was particuarly impressed with the sales progressor, Loveleen, who was absolutely amazing and helped my sale go through smoothly and efficiently and was in touch with me constantly throughout the sales process. Thank you so much Team Cockburn!

I used Cockburn to sell my house and I can not recommend them enough! They were fantastic from start to finish. They sold my house quickly and for a good price. They kept me informed of the progress of the sale the whole time and chased my solicitor for me. I would highly recommend to everyone!

Had an issue with Cockburn just before lockdown and I can safely say that this was dealt with in a very professional manner. The team at Cockburn, especially Steve, completely put my mind at ease and made me feel comfortable in renting with them again. 5 stars well deserved. Thanks Cockburn!

I recently sold my house with Cockburn and was very happy with the experience. Sam was always fast in replying to my emails and always available on the phone. I felt really supported throughout the process and felt like Cockburn had my best interests at heart. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again in the future.
