Welcome to Cecchini Property

James acted for us in the purchase of a house and the sale of our existing flat. We first met him at the viewing for our new house, where he did a great job of explaining what he thought we’d need to do in order to secure the property in the current hectic market. We felt that he negotiated well, communicated clearly, and we were able to quickly agree an offer between ourselves and his clients before the property went to closing date. 
 
He was excellent in the sale of our flat, clearly explaining his strategy for the sale, helped arrange the flat to photograph well for the sales materials, and achieved a strong valuation. He efficiently vetted potential viewers to ensure only serious potential buyers viewed the property and achieved a sale above valuation within one week. 
 
His communication remained great throughout, including helping us set our expectations for the timescales of the different stages of the process, and helped everyone in the chain keep calm when banks wanted additional surveys.

We’d absolutely recommend James as an estate agent for your property; he’s friendly, knowledgeable, and very proactive.

We have just recently sold our property in Edinburgh and are very pleased that James Milne had been recommended to us. We live in Northern Ireland and having someone you feel you have full confidence in and someone you can trust means a lot and we certainly received both and much more from James. Right from the offset James was fully committed and very proactive in his approach to getting the property ready and on the market. Within a week James was showing potential buyers around and handled all queries at his end and at the same time kept us fully informed as to how everything was going. In a very short space of time James informed us that he had secured a very strong offer and within a few days our property was sold!  We couldn’t recommend James highly enough and wish him every success in the future.

We were with another estate agent, but we lost both our sale and purchase due to the terrible way the firm handled things. We received a letter from James offering his services and calling him was the best decision we ever made! James doesn’t give 100% he gives 150% He is extremely knowledgeable, tenacious, dedicated and works so hard I doubt he sleeps at night. He knew the problems we had previously with the other firm and was determined to show not all estate agents are the same and he certainly did that. He is very easy to talk to and his previous role as a property developer is also beneficial. James promised us he would sell our flat and find our perfect house. He doggedly perused every potential buyer. By some miracle the house we were hoping to buy before (the one we lost due to the other estate agents) returned to the market after the sale following our also feel through. The person who is our buyer originally only wanted a virtual tour however James persuaded him to come view and despite viewing six flats beforehand he put in an offer. If James had not persuaded him that it was best to view, there is little doubt that the purchaser would have not chosen our flat. We can never thank James enough for all his hard work and for helping us achieve our hope of buying our wee cottage in North Queensferry I would happily recommend James to anyone who is looking for an honest estate agent who will always have his client’s interest at heart. Our only regret is not finding James at the start for if we had we are certain that our sale would not have fallen through, and we be in our new home now.

I asked James to assist in my house sale after a personal recommendation from a friend. He was so helpful with his knowledge and superb communication over the sale. I found him very professional and highly competent as well as open, friendly and honest and would highly recommend him in the future. My house sold on the third viewing in no small part to James’s efforts.
