I was in urgent need of a place to stay for a few months near Cambridge a few months ago. I contacted Keiran regarding a place in Burwell. We met and visited the property. All the process regarding the move in and the paperwork was easy and quick, to my great relief. I have found out that the letting team at the firm was great starting with Grace who was extremely helpful and responsive. I am happy to recommend the team at Morris Armitage.

We had a great experience with Morris Armitage throughout the purchase of our new home. Vicky was extremely helpful, friendly and professional from start to finish. She kept us updated throughout the process and was always happy to help whenever we had any questions. The whole purchase had its stressful moments, as house buying often does, but Vicky was always approachable and did her best to keep things moving and keep us informed. We’re very happy to finally have the keys to our new home! Thank you Vicky and the Morris Armitage team for all your help. Highly recommended! 😊🏡

Just sold a house and purchased a bungalow with Morris Armitage. Simon Morris was very personable and excellent to deal with He adopted a ' hands on ' approach and dealt with any hiccups ( not of their making) that we had along the way with calm professionalism. Also a special mention for Vicky who was very efficient and had a positive attitude in her prompt communications with us. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Newmarket team for a house sale or purchase.

A huge thank you to the team at Morris Armitage for their outstanding help with the sale of a property. The support from first contact to the final completion was excellent.

They balanced being highly professional with a friendly, personal touch that made the sale of the property feel easy and well-managed. Delighted with the service received.
