What is your home worth?

The company is owned and run by ourselves, Ian and Emma Bovingdon, and we have been married for over 27 years and have 2 grown up children. We met whilst working for a large corporate Estate Agency on the South Coast and have been in the property selling industry for over 60 years combined. We are experienced in all aspects of property, including land buying & selling, New Homes and residential homes. We thought it was about time we did this for ourselves & to give us total control over what we do and how we do it. We have lived in East Cambridgeshire for over 20 years, raised our family here and have been involved with the community and local businesses during that time. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to be an Estate Agent, but it takes someone or preferably a team, with compassion, experience, knowledge, integrity and honesty to make it a real success. Moving home is one of the most stressful things we do in our lives and so we will always be here to provide a dedicated, professional and seamless service and to guide and advise you every step of the way. We will always strive to do the job to the best of our abilities. MEET THE TEAM Ian Bovingdon Ian began a successful career in the world of Estate Agency in 1982 & has nearly 40 years of working with both large corporate businesses & smaller independents. Ian turned his focus to Land & New Homes in 2004 & has a wealth of knowledge in all areas of the industry. He will always think outside the box in order to provide the best advice and the best professional service. Outside of work, Ian is keen on Football, Skiing, Formula 1 & Photography. Emma Bovingdon Emma began her career in Estate Agency in 1991. Following a short career break to have their children back in the early 2000’s. Emma then returned to work for a National builder as a Sales Manager on the early stages of the Cambourne development in South West Cambs and then as the Sales and Marketing Director with renowned bespoke builder Campbell Buchanan. Outside of work Emma is passionate about interior design and keeping fit.

Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on January 13, 2022

Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on January 13, 2022

Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
