Our History

Cottage Fields humble beginnings began in 2012 with nothing but a small team with a united vision and determination to work hard and make a difference. Our first 'office' was a brick built outbuilding in Cheshunt. When we took it over, unfortunately for us its sole purpose was storage (previously a recording studio), it had a stench of damp and must meaning we had to wear protective masks! It was moldy, leaking, and had no heating or running water. After emptying the clutter and waste, all the sound proofing stripped and walls bleached to remove all the mildew (plus a few coats of mold proof paint), we patched it up the best we could and attempted to make it an office to be proud of. Due to having tight purse strings and being self funded, we had to make do with a couple of plugs in heaters, a dehumidifier and warm clothes. We pulled together some second hand furniture (we even borrowed a chair from Cihans nephew on one occasion.), some basic supplies, and a very poor internet connection, and began working towards the dream. Of course sometimes it was a struggle (think snow, badly fitted windows and no heating.) but we always had each other to lean on in our hardest moments, and our motivation and vision of what Cottage Fields would eventually become to keep up going.

Cottage Fields are now proud to be one of Enfield's most successful Agents with a fantastic office in a prime location, all of which was only possible due that moldy old outbuilding which allowed us the space to follow our dreams. This is was the start of Cottage Fields and we will always remember our humble beginnings as a continued motivation to work hard. It will remain with all of us when we started with nothing but a dream and the passion and the perseverance to achieve it through hardship, with hard work, belief and a 'I can' attitude.

Meet The Team

Mr Cihan (Chris) Aciyan
Department: Everything Cottage Fields

Whilst studying my law degree and working part-time with an established estate agent, it became evident to me that the industry needed more estate agents with expert knowledge and that many businesses cared more about money than service(and simply did a lot of things wrong). I knew with my passion, my legal background and hard work that we could form an estate agent with a difference, so this is what we did. An agency that cares and protects its client’s interests and one that makes the whole process a lot simpler. I know due to having a family and children myself, that the hassle and stress of the property world can weigh heavy on your shoulders and/or take too much of your time. Because of this we introduced our business accompanied by an online feature that streamlines all your property updates into one portal, giving you all the information you need in a few clicks so that we could focus on dealing with and efficiently resolving all the hassle involved, so that our clients can focus on what is important in life.

Our charity arm is also very important to everything we do as this is one of our core policies to give back to our community and the world around us. We have already supported our Mayor of Enfield in her charity campaign ‘EnfieldCares’, along with sponsorships including Enfield Town Football Club, Southgate School and Forty Hill Primary School. We're invested in engaging with the complex needs of our wider community and believe in the difference that these investments make - from donations, fundraising support and even putting ourselves through difficult assault courses (Tough Mudder).

Being born at Chase Farm Hospital, studying in Enfield and living all my years in Enfield - it is important for me that we began our journey in Enfield. Now our office is a short walk from my place of birth, it fills me with pride to be a part of Cottage Fields.

Mr Ilshad Khodabocus
Department: Sales

Having spent my childhood in Enfield and pursued my studies here, I gained a strong commitment to my community. This, coupled with my admiration for the property market, inspired me to become an estate agent.

Since joining Cottage Fields in 2014 as an apprentice, my ever-growing interesting the property industry has led me to thrive within the business and advance further in my career by becoming a director. An integral part of joining Cottage Fields was the determination Cihan. The owner has for giving back to the community which we do through several charities. Throughout my years I have had the opportunity to undertake several development opportunities in the company having covered sales, lettings and management. I have acquired an in-depth knowledge across the property spectrum and acquired a Level 3 Qualification in residential lettings and management, as well as a level 3 in residential sales.

Like Kurt, Cottage Fields represents more to me than just a job, as this is my second family and together we are determined to build a better life for one another and for our children. Now as a father and husband, these values feel me with great pride.

Mr Rasit Surer
Lettings Manager

I have been with Cottage Fields since 2016 after a long career in credit control. Deciding that a career change would help me to challenge myself and allow me the opportunity to pursue my interest in the property market. I have always lived between Cyprus and London which has given me a natural joy for travelling. I have backpacked around the world through places such as Australia, Philippines and America.

These experiences have really built me up as a person and I like to think I'm quite easy to talk to and down to earth because of it. I am First Aid trained, which is very handy as a father! Overall, my role on the management team at Cottage Fields is to carry out Check-ins and Checkouts, Inspections, references and general maintenance. I take great pride in ensuring that our tenants look after our client's properties and have built a great relationship with them as they are part of our Cottage Fields family.

Mr Kurt Aciyan
Department: Sales

After being born at Chase Farm Hospital in Enfield and living my childhood in Enfield, I moved to Leicester with my wife where we started a family and I had a very successful career in Sales. I moved back to Enfield in 2012 to join my brother in establishing Cottage Fields, whilst continuing to run my own furniture business from home. After living our childhoods in Enfield, it was the perfect place to start a business in which relied so heavily on local knowledge, and due to my background in Sales, it seemed the perfect fit with my professionalism and charismatic personality. This business represents so much more than a job to me, as being a part of this with my brother means Cottage Fields is invaluable to us, representing our professionalism, charisma and passion. We believe will instil in Cottage Fields the highest standards and level of service on offer in the property market and because of that, I am proud to be a part of it.

Mr Tarik Aciyan
