Cheffins
Our team of commercial property experts based in Cambridge provide advice and expert guidance on the buying, selling and leasing all types of commercial property. We also offer an extensive commercial property management service as well as commercial investment and development advice, planning and development, rating, valuation and other professional services.
We have been in business in Cambridgeshire for nearly 200 years. We make buying, selling and taking professional advice easy, enjoyable and rewarding. We started life as cattle auctioneers back in 1825 and today we have six offices across the region offering advice on commercial and residential property, land, farms, fine art, tractors and steam engines as well as hosting regular auctions for all of these sectors.
Our friendly, helpful teams provide expert advice, exceptional service and excellent value for money. We’ve worked hard to build a reputation for a values-led approach to business that has seen us look after generations of clients.
