Barrington & Company Estate Agents for
the Midhurst and Petworth Area

You have been honest and straightforward from the start. We found your valuation to be realistic in a difficult climate with very few interested parties, but despite this we were delighted with the price we reached. We also greatly appreciated your sensitivity with the viewings and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend you or use you again in the future, should the need arise.

Mrs C Godman-Dorrington
Bignor

Professional, knowledgeable, helpful and a pleasure to do business with.

Ms R Wilkinson
Burton Park

Thank you and your staff for all your hard work in selling our property. It was a struggle there for a while but you got there in the end and we are all very grateful.

I have not had to deal in property for over ten years until now and I must admit that my past experience had not been favourable. However, you and your company have changed my preconception, not just because you have negotiated a successful sale but the manner in which you did it from start to finish.

Having intimate local knowledge of the market was also a crucial factor in my opinion, and one which the "big chains" fail to recognise.

I therefore have no hesitation whatsoever in highly recommending your company and its services to others, as I have done already.

We would like to express our sincere thanks to both of you for achieving the sale of our house in these difficult times.

If you can recall, before we spoke in October, our house had been on the market for approximately 5 months and our one sale had just fallen through. We were facing the prospect of letting our house during the winter months with a view to re-marketing it for sale in the spring.

It was almost by chance that we spoke to you in October, but you gave us confidence to continue trying to sell our house during the winter, rather than letting it. Indeed you lived up to the high expectations you had set by finding us a buyer within a matter of a few weeks. Regrettably that sale fell through due to circumstances beyond our control, but in early January, within less than two weeks of that sale falling through, you found us another buyer, who proceeded to complete the purchase of our house.

That was an extraordinary achievement in these times. Clearly your pricing recommendation was important, buy you were able to generate interest in our house when there had seemingly not been a great deal previously. You clearly possess a special brand of magic, which sets Barrington & Company apart from the crowd. We have no hesitation in recommending your services to other sellers.

Thank you once again for all your hard work on our behalf. It was a great pleasure working with you, and we wish you continued success in this difficult market.

Mr & Mrs Bayliss

I write to thank you and all your team most sincerely for the exceptional help effort and advice you gave us and for ultimately achieving a sale of my wife's Aunt Jessie's house in the most difficult of market conditions.

I was myself an Estate Agent many years ago and continue to be closely involved with the property market in my professional work. I know what a thankless task it can so often be but it was always a pleasure to talk with you and your unstinting energy, enthusiasm, good humour and wisdom coupled with realistic advice was always appreciated even in the face of adversity.

Thank you also for your help with selling the furniture by auction, clearing the house, replacing door and window locks, getting the overgrown garden under control and draining down the central heating and hot water. Thank you for calling in unasked to read the gas and electricity meters just before Completion although in fact I did the same when I returned the Transfer Deed to A L & H.

In conclusion I would not hesitate to unreservedly recommend Barrington & Co to any prospective vendors.

Tim Barrington’s grit and determination to achieve a sale of a property in Petworth was realised this summer 2008. My sister and myself as Executors were sympathetically guided by Tim Barrington and his helpful staff to a most satisfactory outcome.

Jan Holmes

I was trying to sell an unusual property that was both derelict and grade 2 listed and with no real knowledge of the local area I knew I needed a 'special agent' my own personal property Dick Barton! I needed to find someone who combined both local nowledge with property expertise, my experience told me it would not be easy.

After speaking with numerous be-suited earnest young men from so called upmarket property agents; I was able to immediately ascertain that the formulaic sales process employed was unlikely to work for my 'unusual' property.

I decided and luckily so to approach Barrington & Company and from the initial telephone conversation to the subsequent sale completion I cannot fault the service I received. The eponymous Tim Barrington and his almost entirely female team were a delight to work with. From the initial property appraisal and valuation to the level of local advertising along with the viewing process and subsequent pre-contract negotiations and sale - it was without fault. I felt particularly during the one or two moments when the sale process could have got difficult they were always on hand providing solutions and always (categorically) with a smile.

In an industry often tarnished with sharp practice and low standards it was a delight to work with a team of people who stood that particular view of estate agents completely on it's head.'

Jonathan Warr

I used Barrington & Company for the recent sale of my house, and I can honestly say, after changing to them from another local estate agents, that the effort and professionalism shown by all their staff produced the very quick sale of my property.

I found they took care of everything on my behalf and kept me informed from start to finish.

I would wholeheartedly and without hesitation recommend Barrington & Company to anybody wishing to sell their property.

Dear Mike,

I have just heard that contracts were exchanged today on the flat. It is a great relief and I thought I would put a few words down to say thank you for the helpful, friendly, fast and efficient service.

I have been very impressed throughout with your approach to the marketing and administration of the sale. It was clear from the outset that you listened to my needs and tailored your approach to suit them. It’s also beyond doubt that we arrived at a far better deal than would have been possible with other agents that I spoke to. Indeed they gave me the impression that they were more interested in shifting business fast for the sake of cash flow, whereas my impression of Barrington & Company is that you are more concerned with meeting the customers needs.

Best wishes for business in the future – and thanks again.

Yours Sincerely

Simon Shaw
