We sold our house in Leicester with Barkers. It wasn't the easiest time to sell as the Covid lockdown caused quite a few issues and delays but our experience with Barkers was nothing but positive. Annette and her team are a very professional outfit, they are trustworthy, pro-active, good communicators and offered good value for money. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again and can recommend them for house selling or buying in the Leicester area.... Read more

We have had very poor experience some of the estate agents in Leicester (won’t name or shame them) and had written off Leicester as a city with bad estate agents. Very unprofessional especially when it came to getting back to clients, call backs, meeting specific requirements.
Fortunately over the year or more had excellent response from Jack Osborn who works for Barkers in Leicester which made us hopeful.
We werent able to take the property that Jack showed us, as the one we got matched our criteria more but I must say that Barkers is lucky to have a person like Jack Osborn. Very professional, didnt waste our time, gave us plenty of options to chose from, friendly and best of all called us back when he said he would.
I can sing his praises but they would fall short.... Read more

Excellent estate agent! Everyone in there, both letting and sales, were so friendly and helpful, that even my dumb questions didn't seem stupid. They have taken so much stress out of the process of me and my family moving house, that all I am now worried about, is will all our stuff fit in the new place? They also help with moving contact details for utilities etc. Will definitely go to these guys first in the future, as my previous experience with some other agents has been somewhat terrible!...

I appointed Barkers to sell my flat as they had provided great service previously. I was not disappointed this time. Jack came to value the property and his friendly and professional approach was much appreciated. After a careful appraisal he confidently suggested a sale price that was above our expectations. When we received a very good offer within one week of going on the market by the first person to view it we were very impressed. The sale was quite prolonged but throughout the process we were kept well-informed by Fiona who communicated very effectively with all parties and really gives estate agents a good name. Jack and Fiona - you are a credit to Barkers! I am a happy customer and would recommend you to others.... Read more

They have supported us through the whole process guiding us through each stage and supporting us in every single aspect! It has been an absolute pleasure to work with them and we would recommend them to everyone! If it hadn’t I’d been for Fiona we wouldn’t have been able to buy our dream forever home, so we have to give a special thanks to her! Well done team and continue with the great work!... Read more

For my self, I will definitely deal with them if I ever let, buy, or sell a property in Leicester in the future.... Read more

I have been using Barkers Estate & Letting agents for many years. I purchased through them, have used their services as letting agents & property managers and recently sold via Barkers. I cannot rate their services highly enough and would thoroughly recommend them. The sale of our property was quite stressful being complicated by the purchasers living abroad but Victoria was fantastic at guiding us through the sale, chasing everyone and even arranging superb contractors at short notice to help the sale go through more smoothly. Victoria also worked tirelessly to keep lines of communication running despite the communication difficulties . Over the years we have also dealt with Jo at Barkers and have found her to be extremely helpful and professional. We are very happy in our new home but if we were ever to need the services of an estate agent in this area again we would definitely turn to Barkers and wouldn't engage any other firm. Thank you Victoria and team.... Read more

I was extremely impressed with Barkers. We were not actually clients of theirs, but bought a house they marketed. Throughout a very protracted process, both staff members we dealt with at Barkers seemed more efficient, better informed about all parts of the chain, and more proactive in chasing things up than our own estate agent did - although I had no real complaints about their service.
I would definitely recommend Barkers based on our experience.... Read more

April 2018 - I’ve just completed on an investment property purchase through Barkers Queens Road. Joanna and Jessica were immensely helpful, professional and proactive throughout the process. I highly recommend Barkers, they are a great company to deal with. ????
October 2018 - I’ve gone through the full cycle with Barkers by using them to rent out the two flats that I bought through them in April. Most importantly they did me a great deal on letting fees because of this, and certainly did not hang about in renting it out for me. Jack Savory was spot on in terms of what he could achieve, and he delivered. Highly recommend Jack Savory and his Barkers rental team! ????... Read more

Need to know anything about your rent then trust me work it out yourself as no one seems to have any basic math skills or English for that matter, locating and reading payments on a screen must be so difficult nowadays!
