B | E Auction House  Reviews 

I can’t thank the team at Barney Estates enough!
I am new to buying in auction and after having a poor experience contacting another auction house I was pleasantly surprised by the level of customer service that Barney’s provided. They guided me through the process and clearly explained the jargon within the contract pack so that I felt confident I knew what I was buying.
Thanks to this I am delighted with my investment and hope I will be able to buy from them again in the future.
Ignore the bad reviews!

STAY AWAY. Listen to the people who have already suffered.

Could not give zero stars. Trespassed on land and took drone footage over grazing land without permission.
You caused injuries on two horses. Disgraceful behaviour.
Please let me know where I can send the vet bill.

UPDATED REVIEW BY MYSELF 30/4/2024 ... Barney estates you seem to have copied and pasted a reply from another bad review of a different review site to this one.

You have not answered my question. To whom do I directly send the vets bill to?

Extremely professional with excellent communication. Could not be happier.

We recently purchased a property through an auction with Barney Estates and Auctioneers. Elliot did an amazing job of pulling our deal together and saved the day by identifying gaps in our ROI calculations due to a previous misinterpretation of several costs. This purchase wouldn’t have happened without Elliot as we had pulled out, but we ended up concluding the sale before auction commencement. Would definitely use the service again.

I would strongly advise against using this company. In my experience, their practices was dishonest, and I was left highly disappointed and costed us ££££.

The team were very efficient, expensive but worth their efforts.
Straight, clear and precise in their work.

Thank you

Great advice, and a quick and easy process to sell land.

Despite being informed by the legal owners of a property that the land is no longer for sale through that route. Who have requested in writing thar the land be removed from sale. They have continued to advertise, and proceed to auction on the advise of a company who do not own the land.

I am not experienced when it comes to auction buying but Patrick at Barney Estates and Auctioneers made the whole process very easy for me by giving his time to assist me in talking over the legals and giving me his advice after I sent him letters I received from the sellers solicitors.

Thank you so much Patrick for the time you gave me and all the follow up calls once you completed a task keeping me up to date with everything you did at your end.

Really pleased with Barney Estates in the sale of my land. Such a pleasure working with Amiee & Oliver. Very friendly, helpful and professional throughout the process. Could not recommend highly enough. A massive thank you. Yusuf A

Misrepresenting facts on land sales.
Failure to disclose material details of said land and completely false statements regarding site access.

Caveat emptor

Be very careful
Originally I left a review and then I took it off cos I thought Amiee was actually being genuine. It’s all a scam, they sold me a parcel of land with no access, but yet on their brochure it’s shows access. Access which has no connection to my parcel of land. It’s only when I visited the site I was told I was trespassing as the road was privately owned. The owner had written to the seller (strategic holdings 1 to 9) legal that they couldn’t use his road to access the parcels of land. Yet Barney Estate concealed this information in order to obtain a sale. My advise is never use an online auction house especially one which is not transparent in their dealings and will break their own code of conduct to make money. They are ruthless, have lost 10kg in the process of dealing with these white collar criminals. The seller is now seeking £10500 through insolvency, for the two day extra to his original completion date. Who completes a sale in 6 days. I offered to walk away, allowing them keep my £31,000 and the land which they rejected. Which makes perfect sense as land is worthless to them cos there’s no access. When you deal with reputable companies you won’t experience these issues. Regardless what you think I have witnesses, both have said I don’t have access and they live there. Some much for due diligence, charging £3300 for absolutely nothing. I will leave a negative comment every week to stop you from defrauding people.

Very professional and helpful answering all my questions and providing good guidance. Thank you Ollie and Miles for making our purchase seamless.

Very good experience. I am an experienced property investor, I must say I was impressed. From instruction to exchange it was swift. My unit was sold within two/three weeks. I had listed it previously in a larger organisation who failed in selling it. Recommend highly!

Miles and Elliot on the team are very knowledgable and work hard to get your property sold. Thnks

It is not possible to give a higher rating, endorsement, or review of Elliot Bester and Barney Estates & Auctioneers. Elliot was instrumental in our recent successful purchase. Elliot helped us find our site and very quickly exchange, and complete all within one calendar week. Elliot was a pleasure to deal with and incredibly personable and professional and super efficient – making life incredibly easy for us. His experience, advice, and knowledge, were all very much instrumental and why we have taken the time to write such high praise. We thank him and Barney Estates and Auctioneers.

20 out of 10.

The team at Barney Estates have been really helpful, this has been my first experience and they answered all my questions, I would just make sure you read the legal pack so you know what you’re buying. Would highly recommend!

Elliot was very approachable and helpful. Professional at all times.
