Spotlight on Chesham – our estate agent’s view
Wednesday, April 12, 2017
Spotlight on Chesham – our estate agent’s view. Chesham is a popular market town on the edge of the Chilterns, surrounded by picturesque open countryside. Earliest records date back to the 10th century although archaeological evidence goes back to 8000 BC. Historically Chesham is known for its four Bs – Baptists, bootmaking, beer and brushmaking - but today the town’s employment lies in small businesses, technology and professional services. Proximity to the M25 and M1 and an easy commute to London via Amersham’s mainline train service into Marylebone or Chesham’s own Metropolitan Line station into Baker Street, make Chesham a prime commuter town.

Looking to downsize?
Tuesday, March 28, 2017
Property is a fundamental part of retirement planning for many people. Once grown up children have left home, downsizing can release cash for income, paying off debts or as a nest egg, and can also reduce overheads and maintenance costs.
