A complete breath of fresh air! Friendly and helpful service which went above and beyond what you would normally expect from an Estate Agent. Highly recommended and will definitely use them again when the time for our next house move comes
Mr & Mrs Fitzgerald
Chris Raper, Alex Trewin, Jan Foo and all the team at Fine & Country Berkhamsted epitomise what a really good estate agent should be (but rarely is!). We approached them with the need to buy 2 houses and sell 2 houses in a family downsize relocation which was a huge challenge after 26 years in the same property. In 2015/16 they sourced the perfect house for our mother and found buyers (one off-market) for both her home and ours. This was not an easy task, as both were period listed barns with land, with appeal for niche buyers only.
Throughout the whole process, the level of communication between all parties was exceptional and we felt that they were as committed and motivated as us to making the move happen. Their professionalism, transparency and sheer hard work meant that we all achieved our goal of moving to Tring in time for Christmas. We would highly recommend Fine & Country Berkhamsted and wouldn't consider going anywhere else.

We have finally moved after a very long and protracted house sale/purchase. During this time Chris and Alex were supremely helpful, courteous, professional and above all supportive and patient. They kept us informed throughout the process, and were honest and transparent in their communications. We would thoroughly recommend Fine & Country to any would be seller/purchaser.

Fine and Country dealt with my parents' sale and demonstrated skill and patience, both with a difficult buyer and my parents' inability to find a property to purchase! I have no doubt that the chain was only held together by Fine and Country's experience and tact and unlike so many other estate agents, Jan, Chris and especially Alex always remember who they are acting for and whose interests come first. A special thanks to Alex who not only supported the sale, but my parents, who at times found the whole thing very stressful! Would not hesitate to recommend.

Dear Chris, I wanted to write to say a massive thank you for all your work in marketing, promoting over and above the norm and completing the sale of Old Orchard. I didn’t ever feel that the house had gone stale with you and your team and your level of enthusiasm and professionalism shone through at all times. I think staying loyal to one agent maybe the key and I’m very, very pleased that I did not dance around different agents in Berkhamsted. I think you have really strong office in Berkhamsted and I am recommending you highly amongst people I know who are thinking of moving! Alex, you were a star and kept me sane as you always where there with updates and always ahead of me phoning and this was hugely appreciated.

We recently bought through Fine & Country Berkhamsted and wouldn't hesitate to use them in the future. Alex Trewin in particular was brilliant - friendly and efficient, she really helped to push things through and made sure that everyone in the chain knew what was happening and when.
Mr & Mrs Harvey
Not having moved for forty-two years I was very apprehensive about the whole thing but Fine & Country made it all much easier than I had expected. After an initial discussion with Chris Raper about how to price the property some very professional photos were taken which showed the house at its best. I had dreaded showing possible purchasers around the house but Chris and his colleagues made it fairly unobtrusive and provided useful feedback. Chris really proved his worth when the legal side of things got difficult, he kept very calm, which helped us stay calm and gradually the complications were resolved. He said he enjoyed his job when life got difficult and that did seem to be true. Having started off with a poor opinion of estate agents I now find myself defending them – thank you Fine & Country!

This year, I successfully sold and bought a property using the services of Fine & Country, Berkhamsted. Jan and Chris came to value my own property and were suitably enthusiastic about it and we agreed a selling price, sales strategy and talked about my own eventual purchase plans. Without delay, my home was seamlessly and painlessly launched onto the market. The presentation was excellent, there was coverage on the major property websites and I was sent a report of all the activity and results of viewings each month. Chris was my chief contact. The viewings were conducted very professionally, his colleagues were always punctual, polite and very positive. All members of the team were very helpful and informed. Before too long, a suitable purchaser for my property was found and the team negotiated a selling price close to the asking price. When it came to my own purchase, I felt that Fine & Country understood exactly what my requirements were - in the end I was shown a property which was 'off market' - I could not possibly have known about it without their insider knowledge - which was absolutely perfect and I moved in September. I felt that the team did their utmost to make a daunting and complex process as simple as possible. Throughout the whole procedure the team at Fine & Country showed great dedication and displayed impeccable attention to detail - I was very confident that they would do their utmost to make things happen - and they did. The combination of a tightly knit team, a thorough knowledge of the property market and of the area all contributed to making the whole procedure possible, with a brilliant result. I would highly recommend Fine & Country Berkhamsted for their commitment, experience and ability to inspire confidence, 'a safe pair of hands'!

We want to thank Fine & Country for all they have done to make the purchase of our new property, such a straight forward process and hassle free. They were 100% responsive on all aspects and dealt with both the lawyers and the vendor throughout the transaction. A very professional outfit, which we recommend to anyone.
