How Chris Differs From Other Chelmsford Estate Agents?

When choosing me to be your personal Chelmsford estate agent, you will receive my full attention to suit all your needs. Where your typical high street estate agency will only care about transactions and leads, I don’t get paid until your property has been sold, and because I only ever work with a few clients at any one time, I will keep you updated on a regular basis and be your one point of contact throughout the process, be it from marketing your property, overlooking the viewings or finding the right tenant for your property.

My aim is to be available to you throughout the whole process, right up to handing you the keys on that happy day.

I got into estate agency through my love for people, property and being busy, and I have loved every minute of it. Being an independent estate agent allows me to work how I want and keep to the traditional values of customer service.

My extensive knowledge of the local area and the latest properties coming onto the market and current market trends allow me to offer my customers expert property advice whenever they need it.

So why not let me help you on your journey of selling or finding that new home and keeping it as stress-free as possible?

MARTYN STANLEY

“Chris Allen recently came to value my property after we had work completed. I was so impressed with the research Chris had done before his visit. The house is quite unusual, old but with a new extension. Chris was able to assess the value realistically and is clearly very knowledgeable about the market. I would not hesitate to call on Chris w…

KELLY C

Your Local Independent Estate Agents.

To be honest, when it comes to picking the right estate agents to sell your Chelmsford property, you shouldn’t expect anything less than a professional and local estate agent who knows the current market and has their finger on the pulse when it comes to understanding property prices and trends within the community.

I work closely with my clients, taking phone calls any day of the week and strive to deliver the best property sales service possible.

Picking The Right Chelmsford Estate Agents.

Believe it or not, it’s not all about price when choosing the right estate agent to sell or rent your Chelmsford property. Do they have extensive knowledge of the local area, do you consider them to be a local property expert, have they had recent success in sales or lettings near your location, do they offer a free valuation?

These are just a few of the questions you should be asking yourself when choosing the right estate agent to help with the sell or rental of your property.

When you work with me, you can expect exceptional results, hard work and a person who will value you and your needs.

About Chelmsford.

Chelmsford is a vibrant up and coming city that is continuing to grow, with a railway line straight into London within 30 minutes, making that commute to work a little bit easier. But if you’re not much of a commuter, then Chelmsford has the hustle and bustle of a city, whilst also having the quietness of the countryside on the outskirts of the main town so that you can enjoy the nearby nature, wildlife and peaceful walks. Why choose when you can have it all!

Chelmsford also has two Park & Ride facilities, both based on the outskirts of Chelmsford City, to help ease the congestion of this forever-growing city.

There are lots of other great things to do here too, with 2 cinemas, and plenty of restaurants – including Zenxi, Olio, Cosy Club, Pizza Express, Wagamama’s, Turtle Bay and Las Iguanas. There are also tons of bars, such as The Wine Cellar, Bootmaker, The Ale House, Bar & Beyond and The Railway Tavern, to name but a few.

Fun Things to do.

Plenty is always happening in Chelmsford, such as a day at the races, or the local theatre, which hosts concerts, plays, talks, and musicals for all the family to enjoy.

The Chelmsford Cathedral sits in the heart of the city and also offers events such as lunchtime and evening concerts. It also offers beautiful architecture and provides some fantastic artwork.

If you are into sport, Chelmsford Cricket Team play at the Essex County Cricket Club. Other sports to enjoy include football, hockey and if you’re into horses, check out Chelmsford Equestrian Centre.

The Riverside Leisure Centre offers an ice rink, swimming and other facilities and is also situated in the heart of Chelmsford.

Local Schools & Shops.

Attractions in Chelmsford.

If you are new to Chelmsford, then I would strongly recommend visiting the Museum which is in Oaklands Park off Moulsham Street. Here to can learn about all of Chelmsford’s past from the ice age to the present day, there is plenty to see and do for all ages. There is also a café called the Hive where you can enjoy a lovely lunch, I would also recommend taking a picnic on a nice day to eat in the park.

Chelmsford City Theatres

There are 2 Theatres both located next to each other in Fairfield Road, one is the Civic Theatre which seats 505 people and the other one is the Cramphorn theatre which seats 165 people. There is a real mix of entertainment throughout the year catering for all ages, and I would highly recommend the Christmas Jazz night where you can enjoy some great music with a bottle of wine.

Hylands House

Just slightly outside of the city centre is Hylands House which was built in 1730 and I would recommend taking a tour. Throughout the year there is many activities going on from exhibitions, food markets, flower shows and music festivals. There is also a great adventure park for children to enjoy. One of my favourite events is the dogs show as I do love my four-legged friends. Also, you will find a book shop and a café on the site.

Also during the year are music festivals which have a huge range of artists. There is also a beer festival which takes place serving some of the best German beer. I am sure that if you are living in Chelmsford you can’t afford to miss out on a night out here.

Lathcoates Farm

Located on Beehive Lane is Lathcoates Farm, this is a great place to take the family and they host lots of events throughout the year including my favourite one which is the strawberry picking.

Great fun and a good way to keep fit.

Why Chris Partners With eXp?

For those of you that don’t know. eXp is an American estate agency model that landing in the UK in 2018 and now boasts an impressive network of professional property experts throughout the UK.

I partnered with them because it works. They allow me to run me own estate agency business but without all the expensive overheads, meaning I can be competitive with market rates whilst delivering excellent customer service and results to my clients. I don’t need to be selling 20+ properties to survive and am more than comfortable selling just 2-3 a month. So, as a result, I can give my customers and their properties my complete attention and focus on giving the service that I want to provide to the community of Chelmsford.

To be honest, I would never want to go back to the normal estate agents standard of working and although I now work on my own for my business, I am surrounded by a specialist team of property and marketing experts who are here to help me and my property portfolio
