What a lovely business.highly recommend

What a lovely business.
Upon selling my late dad's property, I was very impressed with the owner (sorry I forgot her name) when she came to give me a quote. Unlike 2 other companies, she didn't point out the parts that needed updating or pull the property to bits. She saw all the potential with it's size and the amount if land it came with. The whole thing from start to finish was total stress free for me as Barkers did all the viewings, the chasing (when they had to) they were on it! I highly recommend Barkers Estate Agents Low Lane, Birstall.

Chris is Brilliant! Find a home you love, getting advice from experienced estate agents.

Chris from Barkers was fantastic in helping us get on the ladder with our first home. We managed to get the keys within 48 days of viewing a property which met all our requirements - and then some. Having looked for over 7 months, (dealing with dodgy estate agents in another purchase) we nearly lost confidence. However, each time we met with Chris, we felt confident in his pitches, and the advice he gave as first time buyers. The property we finally purchased was love at first sight and every day since. Thanks Barkers for helping us find our first home!

Experience and knowledgable team members

The service I received from berkers was outstanding. They helped me to sell my property. Chris was quite experienced in this field. And Georgina was quite supportive and did her best to get the best deal. I’m very happy with their service.

Superb House Selling Service

If you're looking for an estate agent who genuinely goes above and beyond, you won’t find better than Chris and Georgina at Barkers in Shenley. From the very first meeting, you feel you're in safe, capable hands. Their incredible attention to detail is evident at every stage of the process and I can't thank them both enough.

Fantastic team

I can't thank the team at Barkers enough. They are passionate about what they do and act with professional integrity at all times. They provided me with invaluable advice which allowed me to rectify an unusual flying freehold issue and achieved a swift sale in a challenging market.

Wouldn’t recommend

I used barkers for renting a property. The staff don’t know what they’re talking about, I was hung up on when asking important questions on our move in day as they didn’t know the answer. We were given out of date and incorrect safety certificates.

Constantly have to chase to get work done as they ignore you and things never get completed. The staff are rude, unapproachable and not understanding. We put A LOT of effort in when leaving the property and making sure it looked better than when we moved in. The proof was in the inventories before and after our tenancy with photos and comments to back this up, yet we still had to pay a fee when we vacated the property. The person who attended the property after we vacated to do the inspection and inventory left a big dirty mark on the carpet to which they tried to get up to pay for. Luckily we got a video of the flat before leaving proving this was not us.

Generally a disappointing experience overall and would not use them again.

Exceptional service from Barkers in Shenley

My husband and I had to make the difficulty decision to downsize and move to a different area. Having registered with both local agencies in Shenley, Barkers and more importantly Georgina, demonstrated expertise and professionalism way beyond that of the other local agency. Our "wish list" and "budget" could have put the most patient of agents into a spin, but Georgina remained calm and supportive throughout the process. She was instrumental in her negotiations, managing to keep both her client ( the vendor) and us secure in the knowledge that she had our best interests at heart, and would often be available out of usual office hours to keep both parties " in the loop."
We would not hesitate to recommend Georgina and Barkers to anyone looking to buy or sell in Shenley. We cannot thank them enough for helping to navigate a very emotional move for us. The service is first class, and Georgina is just brilliant.

Fantastic Experience Buying & Selling…

Fantastic Experience Buying & Selling with Georgina & Chris at Barkers!

We bought and sold through Georgina and Chris at Barkers, and they were brilliant from start to finish. Their expertise, honesty, and attention to detail made the whole process smooth and stress-free. They kept us informed, handled everything efficiently, and always went the extra mile.

Friendly, professional, and genuinely caring—we couldn’t have asked for better estate agents. Thank you both for everything! Highly recommend Barkers!

Barkers are the best!

I initially did not market my house with Barkers; despite my gut feeling being that I should have chosen them. I foolishly went with a "national" rival whom I was very disappointed in. Thus I switched to Barkers and the difference in service was immeasurable.

Chris Newell is extremely knowledgeable and a good businessman and genuinely cares. Even when I did not initially let him take the house sale on, he still gave me advice and then when I became completely disillusioned with the other company, happily welcomed me back and marketed my home extremely well- listening to me and ensuring I was happy with the decisions.

Georgina Newell was exceptional. Professional, approachable and always willing to go the extra mile. She has a measured approach and excellent judgement. She found lots of viable buyers and when things became a little unstuck with a Land Registry issue, it was Georgina who came up with the answer! Not the highly paid solicitors who did not really know what to do!

Sell and buy your home or rent with Barkers because they are the best, family, bespoke agency in the area.

Only use Barkers if you want to sell your property

We recently sold our property in Radlett through Barkers. We tried one agent in the area. After trying others, whether it was clash of personality or lack of performance, we gave sole agency to Barkers.

When we first met Chris from Barkers, we liked him immediately. Very positive, listened to everything we said and wasn't pushy at all. It was all at our pace.
We never had to show the property even if we were in. Sometimes his delightful daughter Georgina showed prospective buyers round. Chris and Georgina are very honest and completely trustworthy.

They wont say anything just because its what we want to hear. You may feel your house is worth more, but Chris will give you a correct valuation of what your house will sell for. All agents will give different valuations, but if too high, no one will buy it! They put a lot of time and effort into selling our property. We relied on them 100% and they never let us down.
We wont be moving again in the near future, but if we did would definitely sell through them.
As far as we are concerned, they are the best Estate Agency in the area to sell your property.
