If you’re looking for an estate agent you can trust with one of life’s biggest decisions, it’s natural to want reassurance that you’re working with experienced professionals who consistently deliver results. As an award winning estate agent in Cumbria that homeowners have relied on since 2011, First Choice Move combines local expertise, family values and nationally recognised service to help people move with confidence.
At First Choice Move, we believe awards should represent more than a trophy on a shelf. They should reflect the experience our clients receive, the results we achieve and the standards we maintain every day.
From helping first-time buyers find their perfect home to supporting families through the sale of their property, our focus has always been on delivering exceptional service and achieving the best possible outcome for every client.
That commitment has been recognised through multiple prestigious industry awards and independent assessments, placing us among the UK’s leading estate agencies.
Being included in the Best Estate Agent Guide is one of the most respected achievements within the property industry.

Our story began around a kitchen table in Egremont with a simple goal: to offer a more personal, honest and effective estate agency service for local people.
Since then, First Choice Move has grown into one of the largest and most recognised independent estate agencies in West Cumbria while remaining true to the family values that helped build the business.
Today, we continue to support buyers and sellers across Cockermouth, Workington, Whitehaven, Maryport, Egremont, Seascale, Gosforth, Keswick, and surrounding areas.
Our growth has always been driven by reputation, referrals and a commitment to putting our clients first.
