We had a really positive experience renting a property through Vincent Shaw. Our contact at VS was Christianne and she was super responsive, proactive and helpful whenever we had any questions or problems, which we really appreciated. Would definitely work with Vincent Shaw again.

Got my rental apartment very smoothly in Cambridge, UK. They provide the best service and the whole process of tenancy was prompt.

Vincent Shaw has been managing my property for over 10 years, Christianne and her team are highly professional with landlords, tenants, maintenance, etc. They are always quick to reply my emails, clear with invoices, and on time with inspection reports and statements. I have peace of mind to know my property is in safe hands while working overseas.

Myself and other family members have used Vincent Shaw to sell several properties over recent years. Jonathon and the team have always been professional, friendly and a pleasure to deal with throughout the process. I would highly recommend Vincent Shaw for Residential sales and Lettings.

I bought my first home through Vincent Shaw and have rented it through them for over 10 years and they have never given me a reason to go anywhere else. I have total confidence in Christianne and her team and would gladly recommend them for both rentals and purchases.

We had a great experience buying our flat with Vincent Shaw. Jonathan Myles was extremely helpful, cooperative and responsive. He was patient with all our questions and offered great support through the entire buying process. Jonathan and Zach even went out of their way to help resolve some issues we had post-completion. I would highly recommend Vincent Shaw and the team there.

We rented a property through Vincent Shaw that was also managed by them, and they were brilliant. Christianne Tippler in particular who managed our property was always responsive, caring, and professional. We were worried at first since we had heard some bad stories about renting through letting agencies, but our experience was the complete opposite and I would highly recommend them.

Vincent Shaw made my experience renting in Cambridge a breeze. I rented two properties with this agency, and their service is friendly and personal. They were always swift and helpful with any requests I had for my rentals, and flexible to changing circumstances. Highly recommend.

I rented a property through Vincent Shaw in Cambridge & they were the most amazing letting agents I've ever met. They were so kind & approachable. They fixed whatever issues happened in the property in my tenancy period ASAP. If you are rendering any property through them, I think you are in safe hands.

We rented a property through Vincent Shaw for close to 3 years, and can't recommend enough. Christianne managed our let throughout, we were always given ample warning and flexibility with any work or checks that needed to happen. The online system to manage your tenancy is very handy, and not something I've used with other agents. The inspections during and at the end of our tenancy were very fair, and we ultimately felt respected as tenants throughout.

This was a breath of fresh air in comparison to other letting agents in the past and contributed to the house feeling very much like home and to us staying in the property for such a long time. Thank you!

Vincent Shaw team was a light in the darkness for me and my family. We had an unexpected house moving, and they helped us in a very kind, efficient and organised way. Their process are very clear and everything is electronically managed. They looked all the time to meet our expectations. I strongly recommend their services.

Have been letting a property with Vincent Shaw for the last 4 years, Christianne was helpful from day one to facilitate our move and the whole renting process. Quick in replying to emails and to solve maintenance issues in our property. Can definitely recommend Vincent Shaw if you're looking to rent a property in Cambridge.

Jonathon Myles at Vincent Shaw was our estate agent when we purchased a house in Cambridge. He was thoroughly helpful and professional throughout the process. For instance he would always facilitate surveyor and tradesmen appointments with the minimum of fuss, he helped answer all our questions about the property, he sorted problems when they arose and we couldn't have asked for anything more. Thoroughly recommend Vincent Shaw.

I used Vincent Shaw in the selling of my house recently. James was really professional, patient and efficient. It wasn't a smooth journey as I lost my first buyer. James put it back on the market swiftly and sold it within days. I also dealt with Jonathon who is equally helpful. I couldn't recommend Vincent Shaw enough. Do not hesitate to use these guys over the rest. You wont regret it.

This company accepted a deposit from my student son and his friends to rent a property, they stopping searching for alternative accommodation only to be told 4 days later that the landlord decided to accept three female students instead. While technically this was not illegal, (at least I'm told it's not illegal but I will be consulting with my lawyers tomorrow)it is unscrupulous and unethical not to mention sexist.

They had no alternative accommodation to offer and left them high and dry! So I would advise you or yours not to have anything to do with this company! My son is now homeless, thanks to Vincent Shaw estate agents Cambridge!

BEWARE things look, bad, really, really bad. Busy bees raking it in for themselvesI even suspect false or greatly flowered up 5out of 5 reviews here and on Yell, which has already made my one 1 star review 'disappear'. Latest: VS have not paid back the deposit, over 1600, for the past two months, clearly in breach of tenancy deposit scheme rules as there is no reason mentioned by anyone in the required timescale to take any money, which hasn-t been agreed by landlord and tenant. Landlord confirmed there was no reason and has said deposit was free to be returned.

But VS have not returned it, even though they have correct bank details and 'contact' details for which they need. This is the straw that broke the camels back in a long line of poor service, fob offs by 'Roy' and me being out of pocket and beyond actually renting they will now be hearing from TDS and TPO in the next couple of weeks.

Even if they now suddenly decide to pay the deposit, the horse has bolted leaving a long trail of sh!+ behind them. VS have not done nearly enough that could be deemed 'good service'. Big Fail. This is why VS are being selected to recieve the 'Big Fail' award in my book this decade. I feel they've been paid a lot of money and provided just enough 'service' to scrape them off the ground (really just the bare skeleton of 'service'). I would recommend to AVOID as there is a good chance of being stung by them or feel like you've been either duped or trodden in something you should have left outside.

Vincent Shaw on The Broadway of Mill Road reminds me of the countryside. I am not entirely sure why, perhaps it's the decor. I have been inside this, sophisticated, estate agents a few times for enquiries and they are very kind and helpful. I do recommend giving them a try when wanting that house or flat!
