Today, Machin Lane is led by Branch Manager Jay Squire, Assistant Manager Cassius Hammond, and Millie Pavey MARLA, Head of Residential Lettings and Property Management — together continuing the founders’ legacy of honest, results-driven estate agency built on relationships, not volume.

Local Knowledge. Modern Approach.

We specialise in residential and commercial sales, lettings, and property management across Rochester, Chatham, Strood, Maidstone, Sittingbourne, and Gravesend. We also provide access to trusted mortgage advisors and conveyancing solicitors, making the buying and selling process simpler and smoother for every client.

Our clients choose us for our discretion, accuracy, and commitment to getting the details right. Whether it’s marketing a period home on Eastgate Terrace or managing a new rental property in Walderslade, we bring experience, technology, and sharp local insight to every transaction.

What Makes Us Different

Unlike corporate chains, we aren’t governed by national quotas or rigid call targets. Every property is handled by a senior team member who knows your road, your buyer type, and your timeframe — and who picks up the phone when it rings.

We believe in:

Realistic, data-led valuations — not inflated promises

Clear, respectful communication — no pressure or fluff

High standards of marketing — quality photos, copy, and presentation

Long-term trust — from your first instruction to final completion

At Machin Lane, we don’t chase listings. We chase results.
