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.

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.
