Barrington & Company Estate Agents for
the Midhurst and Petworth Area
Founded in 1988, Barrington and Company are leading independent residential and commercial estate agents and property managers. We have prominently located offices in Petworth and Midhurst covering one of the most sought after and desirable areas of West Sussex.
Our approach to property sales and lettings is a little different from other estate agents.
We concentrate on a select few properties at any time and this policy enables us to devote our efforts and resources to achieving the results our clients expect, a rapid sale or let at the best possible price or rent.
What we do not do is leave your property to sell itself while we are out taking on yet more properties in order to meet a head office quota.
Our clients deal directly with the person who conducted the initial property appraisal, who will see the transaction through from beginning to end. We do not employ part time viewing ladies or expect our clients to conduct viewings of their properties for us.
All our instructions are sole or joint sole agencies. We are often invited to act with some of the country’s most prestigious London agents. We will only take on a property that we know we can sell or let.
We advise our clients on achievable prices not prices to win the instruction. Sometimes this policy does not win us the instruction first time round but we are often asked back when the first appointed agent has failed to deliver.
We’ve been around along time and have traded successfully through boom and bust markets, always aware that we are only as good as our reputation. We rarely lose an instruction and most of our business now comes from personal recommendations from previous clients.
We don’t need to blow our own trumpet – our clients are happy to do that for us.
Testimonials
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.'

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
