Agent lost our house keys which led to major problems for us. I really liked the Manager when I met her which is why we went with them. Not had one call from her since incident to apologise & discuss what happened in our home. They did pay for lock replacement but it ended there.

Outstanding Service from Allan and Harris Barry-Especially Sophie
Our journey with Allan and Harris Estate Agents in Barry began in 2023 when we purchased our first property through them. Since then, our relationship with the team-and especially with Sophie-has only grown stronger. Now, in 2025, as we continue to expand our property portfolio, we are delighted to say that Allan and Harris, and Sophie in particular, remain our trusted partners.
Sophie has truly mastered the art of relationship management. She combines professionalism with a warm, friendly, and supportive manner that makes every interaction a pleasure. Whether we’re buying, selling, or simply seeking advice, Sophie is always approachable, responsive, and proactive. She takes the time to understand our goals and concerns, offering guidance that is both insightful and tailored to our needs.
What sets Sophie apart is her genuine commitment to her clients. She goes above and beyond to ensure a smooth process, keeping us informed at every stage and always making us feel valued. Her attention to detail, reliability, and positive attitude have made a real difference in our property journey. It’s clear that Sophie is not only an asset to the branch, but also the key reason for our continued loyalty and support.
While the entire Allan and Harris team in Barry has been fantastic-helpful, knowledgeable, and efficient-Sophie truly shines the brightest. Her dedication and exceptional service have made her our go-to contact, and we look forward to working with her for many years to come.
If you’re looking for an estate agent who combines expertise with genuine care, we cannot recommend Sophie and the Allan and Harris Barry team highly enough.

Sophie and the team were generally good during the selling process, but was a bit disappointed with the solicitors that Allen and Harris use, I was never kept updated. Never the less, estate agents were good.

This is the first time I've used Allen and Harris Estate Agents. From the first time I spoke with Ria to the times I have met and dealt with Ria ever since, she has been amazing. Friendly, efficient, quick to get back to me with any information I needed or requested. I have to say Ria has been a pleasure to deal with and she has helped me make the purchase of my property really easy. Ria event set up an appointment to meet the seller of the property which was such a beneficial experience all round. I have to say I would highly recommend using Ria and Allen and Harris to any of my friends and family should they need them. Ria is really personable and has a lovely, friendly manner which is perfect for customer service and dealing face to face in what can be a stressful experience. Thank you Ria for making my moving experience a really good one.

My mum, Heather, has recently sold her house through Allen and Harris and she was really impressed with the friendly and efficient service they provided. Ria in particular was always there to help my mum through the process and always went that extra mile to help my mum out. She kept her updated with feedback from potential viewers and was always there for any advice my mum needed.

Absolutely appalling customer service. Booked a viewing last Saturday for next Saturday. Turned up to the house to no one there. Rang them to be told all viewings were cancelled on Thursday and everyone contacted. Sophie on the other hand didn't believe this was the case, so said she would check the call log and ring me back. Surprise, surprise, over two hours later she had to admit no one rang me and that i was not even registered!. I appreciate a staff member was called away today due to an emergency but it's a Saturday, I can't believe there isn't a back up plan. To add insult to injury this house was an auction so time sensitive, and the only day I could do was Thursday. She replied ,oh that's closed diary every Thursday. Shocking, not even an attempt to receive their error and offer me 30mins of their time on a 'busy' Thursday. I will not bother looking at a house with them again or give them the satisfaction of an estate agents fee.

I was a first time seller, selling my new-build property in Barry. This was, by no means, an easy transaction; held up by multiple issues and awful communication and failures of my buyer and her Solicitors. The only saving grace throughout it all was Sophie and her team in Barry; professional, supportive, outstanding knowledge and advice, as well as being some of the kindest, most supportive and understanding professionals I have ever known. Always on hand to help, excellent communication and going well above and beyond what an Estate Agent would usually do for a seller. I cannot recommend them enough. A massive and heartfelt thank you to Sophie and her team for everything :)

Absolutely loved working with this estate agency. Helpful and friendly from start to finish and it's so refreshing working with people who actually care about their jobs!
Gemma helped me organise viewings for a time that suited me, checked in to see how I got on and was just overall very friendly and bubbly!
Jack who showed me the property could answer every question I asked, he talked us through the best spots in town, what the local area was like and even gave me advice about the areas for other viewings I had booked in. He even walked us back to our car and helped with where to park.
I spoke with a mortgage advisor Matt who was incredibly efficient and made me feel at ease with the scary prospect of being a first time buyer.
Overall they are the full package. I would highly highly recommend to anyone selling or buying!

After a great deal of fuss to have phots taken and get details to a solicitor when we first our house on the market we have found the follow up service abysmal, we have had 3 viewings in a year and after each one no feedback whatsoever and when we have phoned to ask questions we are that the person we need to speak to will call back but never does and it also appears that there is no answerphone. I would say this is not only unprofessional but rude.

Highly recommend Barry team. Richard Goy is fantastic broker who goes above and beyond and nothing is to much hassle. Me and my husband are first time buyers and Richard couldn’t make the process simpler and easier for us. We were informed at every stage of “buying journey” and he held our hand till keys were handed in. Even after purchase found time to check if everything was ok. Branch manager Ben Smalley also very professional, helpful and speed the things up for us. Thank you Barry branch for all your help and our new lovely house.

My husband and I went to see Richard Goy to find out what our chances were of getting a mortgage. We were not very hopeful as we had been turned down in the past by other mortgage advisors, but Richard was amazing and made our dream reality. 8 weeks later and we are just about to complete on our very own home!
Richard talked us through all the steps and kept us informed all the way through the process. We can not thank him enough for what he has done for us and our family.
Highly reccomended!!

Ben Smalley and the team at the Barry office dealt with the sale of my property and were extremely professional whilst providing a personal service. Following their advice, my property sold within two days of going on the market. I was kept up to date every step of the way and made to feel like an individual rather than just another client.
Having dealt with other agents in the past I would certainly recommend Allen & Harris for excellent and efficient customer service. As a National company, what seems to distinguish them is their focus and expertise at a local level making me, as the client, feel valued and supported.

Disappointed with the service we got, promised an open day but didn't get it, had a viewing on Good Friday an offer received the following Wednesday after I had told them on the Tuesday I was not happy with the fact they brought some to view my house whose home was not even on the market let alone sold. Left the offer on the table but I had to go into the office to ask for the offer letter which I was given on plain paper and not even signed, then had 2 more viewings that were generally time wasters who hadn't even read the details on the house. At the end of July we terminated our contract as the house was not sold. Also apart from the internet and the shop window never saw my house advertised anywhere else.

What an amazing estate agent. The team at Allen & Harris in Barry are awesome! Buying a property is one of the most stressful things that you can do, but our agent Matthew Boyce, worked extremely hard and did everything in his power to speed up the process and reduce our stress levels. We used a solicitor recommended by the estate agent who made the buying process a breeze. It's been 4 days since completion and Matthew had the courtesy to call us today and ask if everything was okay. The customer service of Allen & Harris is of the highest standard. Thank you guys for all you have done

We decided not to sell our house in the end, but when we met Ben it became apparent he had our best interests at heart. He demonstrated to us how compared to other valuations we had, that our house was worth more money and he had a plan other than just putting it on the internet. When our circumstances change we will use Allen and Harris.

Would recommend Richard Goy (mortgage advisor) to anyone! Me and my partner as first time buyers at 18&19 didn’t have a clue where to start or how to go about buying a property.
We cannot believe how easy and fast the Process has been. After starting to try and buy a house only 2 months ago we have now had an offer accepted on a house and mortgage offer ,which we would have defiantly not got without Richards help.
Couldn’t thank Richard enough for all he has done for us! making a normally stressful Process, stress free and simple. A genuine, helpful individual who we felt easy to talk to and knew wouldn’t push us to fast. ????????????

Great service, gave a much better valuation than other local estate agents and came through with a sale near that price. If I'd have gone with other valuations from other agents I would have been receiving about 15-20% less than what I received. Ben gave a very confident valuation and showed he had done his market research which is why I placed the property with them. Would highly recommend.

Beth, is a knowledgeable advisor. She listened to our concerns over moving and buying. Also gave us options of having photographs taken, finding a house without having people view before we were ready to view/move. We would highly recommend Beth, she is thoughtful & pragmatic. Thank you very much Beth, Maria & Rhiannon

I can't comment on other branches but the Barry branch made selling our house like pulling teeth out. Lack of communication and slow service inevitably lost us our first sale as we were 4 months in. Took a further 3+1/2 to secure and sell. Also I wouldn't recommend using the solicitors Griffithings (supposed to be best buddies with Allen and Harris) all they do is blame each other. We raised a complaint with Area manager he didn't even respond or follow up.
