Lovely people, amazing service, I recommend to anyone that locking for a property to buy or to sale
Steven did an amazing job in selling my property. He was able to sell the property within the first week of it being on the market. A huge shout out to Miguel as well who managed to get me into contact with Steven after dropping me a call and introducing himself!
Miguel and Steven were brilliant when selling my home! I will definitely keep them in mind for any family members and Friends that might want to sell.
Sophie, was very helpful and made sure to follow up on us on the views! I would just by a house because of her. Great service
Sophie and Shariane were fantastic estate agents during a sudden change in the market. They reassured me as a vendor throughout their management of my sale. Keeping consistent communication, driving interest and maximising marketing efforts to ensure that I felt my property was a priority throughout the sales process. Not least the whole team is friendly and very open to offering support end to end. Thanks so much to Nathan, Sophie, Shariane and team
I was taken for a tour around three properties on my journey to buying a house by Shariane. Her advice was very helpful and I truly appreciated her honesty and kindness during the viewings as I was looking to buy my first home.
Nathan, Sophie and the rest of the team at Barnard Marcus did a great job of selling our house in a timely fashion and for a strong price in a challenging market. From the point of marketing to their separate team that keep pushing to ensure the deal closes at then end, they were always there to make sure it was a success. Thanks so much for you help!
We are in the process of buying a house and so far our experience has been excellent. Sophie our estate agent has been extremely communicative and helpful. Would really recommend
Really great agents, Sophie at BM was patient, flexible and offered practical advice, wasn't using hard sell techniques but was pointing out great features or change of use etc. Very calm and friendly lady. Always got back very quickly with appointments also.
Given the market conditions, we were uncertain about when to move. Nathan patiently supported and guided us while we were considering our options, and was always available to give us advice.
His valuation and sale strategy was also the most accurate and fair in our view. Ultimately, after finally deciding to sell, we instructed them under an enormous amount of pressure in order to salvage our onward purchase after a private sale fell through and to move before our second baby arrived.
Toni did her best to get our ad us ASAP and to answer our questions and make sure we were happy with it.
Shariane in particular made a huge effort to secure viewings and ultimately a sale in 4 weeks. She was also good at communicating with us and understanding of the stress we were under.
Hi! Shariane at barnard Marcus has given us a great experience so far - we are buying a property through BM and Shariane has been thoroughly charming and knowledgeable throughout our communication and viewings so far. Thanks Shariane! Looking forward to working with you further to get the purchase across the line!
Sophie was super helpful and available for every tiny query we had during a very tense buying process. I would happily recommend her and the agency to anyone looking to sell.
Sophie McHugh was quick ,efficient and really professional throughout the whole process !All emails were replied within minutes and communication was really good.
Everything was explained to me in detail and I felt really cared for throughout the process.
Thank you so much :)

I acted on behalf of a Buyer and I had the pleasure of working with Toni Willoughby. At every stage of the transaction, Toni was friendly and helpful. Fantastic communication throughout and made every effort to progress the transaction as much as possible which led to a smooth, quick completion. Highly recommend.
Toni was amazing she was very knowledgeable and helpful in our conversations. I would definitely recommend and use again.
Toni Willoughby has been very proactive throughout the whole transaction. Thoroughly recommended.
We sold a flat through Bernard Marcus and they were a tremendous help. Two prospective buyers dropped out, but it was no trouble at all for BM to find a third (serious) buyer and help speed the conveyancing to a successful ending.
Many thanks to all BM staff, particular to Sophie and Toni, who went massively over and above, to secure a satisfactory outcome to all parties.
The staff were so helpful to us especially Toni and Nathan we found the service excellent and would use them again
