GoogleCould not have asked for a better team of people to assist us in our first house purchase. From the first viewing through to the exchange and completion they went above and beyond to help us in every way possible. Barrie and Christian were always available to answer any questions about the property. We used their in house mortgage services. Akill made this process a breeze, even making time on weekends for conference calls and helping us with the application. We were so impressed we even decided to take out a health insurance through him. We were concerned at the speed of the solicitors but Barrie chased them up everyday and kept us updated with everything. First house purchase is supposed to be daunting and stressful but we never felt this working with Barrie, Christian and Akill. We are really glad to have worked with such a enthusiastic and responsive team. Would highly recommend.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

GoogleOur experience with Barnard Marcus - Whetstone was excellent from start to finish.
We dealt with Barrie, Anthony and Akill during this process and all three were very professional, friendly, polite and informative. The process was explained very clearly and we were advised where needed as well as given regular updates and follow ups until the end.
Our experience of working with the team at Barnard Marcus - Whetstone was very good because they are highly skilled professional who are happy to help when you have questions or when you need updates or when you have questions about financial side of things.
We are very grateful for the team at Barnard Marcus - Whetstone for helping us find our perfect home and helping us with one of the most important decisions of our lives.
We would highly recommend the team at Barnard Marcus - Whetstone to anyone who is looking for a set of professionals to help them find their perfect home.
Thank you to the team at Barnard Marcus -Whetstone!PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

GoogleI recently sold my flat in Whetstone with Barnard Marcus. This was my first time selling a property and I couldn't have been more impressed with BM. Barney in particular was absolutely brilliant. He was courteous, friendly, funny and genuine throughout the whole process- really acknowledging how stressful the buying and selling of properties can be. He was there throughout- always checking in at the right time to provide updates and following through to the very end. Thank you Barney!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

GoogleWe are in the process of finishing the purchase of a flat and I can’t recommend Barnard Marcus highly enough.
We saw the property back in august last year with Chris who was very helpful. We went on two viewings and saw multiple flats and he didn’t once make us feel like we were taking too much time. He gave honest advice which we really appreciated. When we decided on a flat the team were again very efficient and guided us along the way. Buying in a pandemic proved to be difficult with everything taking longer than usual but Barrie was a gem and acted as a middle hand between us and the developers. He was there to answer our many questions and worked tirelessly to get the purchase through even though we encountered our fair share of delays. We also had some conditions before the purchase and Barrie made sure to get everything in order for us. They’re reliable and genuine, something that’s difficult to find in agencies these days.
We would highly recommend working with Barnard Marcus Whetstone and we will definitely contact them if we decide to buy in the area again.

GoogleWe recently sold our home through Barnard Marcus (Whetstone) and I couldn't recommend them more. Throughout the process, they were friendly, kept us informed and helped us stay on track with the sale. They were also incredibly supportive, especially considering that we were dealing with the loss of a family member at the same time, and this was my first experience with selling a home.
Their estimate was realistic and fair (I appreciated that they didn't exaggerate prices to try and get us to list with them as well), and I didn't feel pressured or pushed at any time, and their fees were also very reasonable. They made the whole experience one that left me feeling in safe hands, so a big thank you to Barrie, Barney and Lynne for all your help.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

GoogleVery good agents - we had a couple of potential agents to sell our flat. Others were very snakelike with their tactics and overvalued our place to try and secure our business. Barrie at Barnard Marcus instead was very professional and gave us a detailed, well prepared and data driven breakdown of how our sale was going to be pitched and managed. Akill the broker was very personable and did excellent work with the mortgage giving us great advice on how to get our next property when the budget got tight. All members of the team were very responsive and professional - we got a bid within two weeks and even though we had a very difficult process with conveyancing and slow and obstructive solicitors from our buyer they were polite, professional and considerate throughout.

GoogleI would definitely recommend Barnard Marcus Whetstone. Barrie, Anthony and Chris were all amazing to deal with, really responsive and helped me at all stages of my sale. They kept me in regular communication throughout. Barrie is awesome at his job and really goes above and beyond to make sure you're happy. He was proactive and extremely helpful in helping me chase a very unresponsive solicitor and ensuring everything went through smoothly! He even rang me on his days off to give me updates and never got annoyed when I rang up regularly! Thank you so much for all your help with everything and I would definitely use your services again in the future!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

GoogleAkill is brilliant, without his help we would not have been able to get the mortgage we wanted and with the least headache, he dealt with it all and as our sale/purchase took much longer, offer was extended and amendments were applied when and how we wanted! Thank you very much, my husband and I strongly recommend Akill's service and professionalism to anyone looking for a good and made-easy- to understand mortgage.

GoogleBarnard Marcus in Whetsone sold my mother’s house for us in excellent fashion. They treated her and us with great sensitivity. We were happy with the price that we sold the house for and the way that they conducted the viewings. Particular thanks must go to Barney and Cameron for their expertise and professionalism. Brilliant customer service an example to all in their group.

GoogleWith an ever changing property market it was key for me to get the best deal and as soon as possible. From the moment I spoke to Akill about my situation and what my future plans were I knew he was the broker to get me there. His knowledge of the market was excellent and was quick to respond to any queries I had. I visited Akill in the office and the whole process took no more than 30minures and all it took was one trip. The whole thing was wrapped up within a month. I've already recommended Akill to friends and family members, will definitely be going back for all my mortgage needs.

GoogleWhen we first viewed the development, Chris could not have been more patient as we viewed almost all the flats in the development! Having chosen the one we wanted Barrie took over looking after us. Barrie has been an absolute star and without him we would not have exchanged contracts. He has been responsive to our queries, returned my calls and texts out of hours (even when on his own holiday) and generally gone out of his way to ensure that all our concerns have been addressed. Thanks Barrie!!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

GoogleI cannot recommend Akill and the Barnard Marcus team enough.
They were not the first mortgage broker we approached, but having received such a poor service, we decided to work with Akill and BM instead.
It was night and day: Akill's work is excellent, and it is comprised of 3 main things: A deep understanding of the industry, leading to good recommendations and insight of the process. A very responsive approach, meaning that any issues/queries get responded to and resolved very quickly. Finally a friendly attitude, which means it is always a pleasure to have him on the phone when dealing with what is usually a long and complex process. Having found us the best deal (compared to the other provider) is also a huge plus.
Well done to Akill and the Barnard Marcus team!PositiveQuality

GoogleI can fully recommend using the service of Barnard Marcus in Whetstone. I have just purchased a new build property in the local area and the process was seamless, which is a great testament to the team.
A special mention to Barrie who was instrumental with arranging the viewings, ensuring all our questions were promptly answered and managing the sales process throughout. We found that Barrie’s deep knowledge of the local area and the development we chose was second to none. We found Barrie extremely professional and someone who strives to offer the best service to all his clients
Another special mention to Akill, who worked tirelessly in securing us a fantastic rate on our mortgage. As a first-time buyer, the process of choosing a mortgage and the application process can be daunting. However, Akill helped us every step of the way and fully explained the whole process to us, which made the experience a pleasant one.
Although I did not have any direct dealings with Christian with my purchase, I often spoke to him when calling the office and when visiting in branch. We found him extremely polite and welcoming and this is a great testament to Barrie and his team.
A massive thank you for all your hard work, I cannot recommend you all highly enough.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

GoogleI was put in touch with Akill Patel at the start of my property journey when registering with the branch and given I was a first time buyer I was inexperienced and clueless to mortgages and the home buying process. He very clearly told me all my options in terms of mortgages and property, he also consistently went above and beyond to ensure I had the best deal and understood the process even with the legal work. He stayed in touch along the way and was always on hand to answer any questions I had - having seen numerous banks and mortgage advisers, none provided me with the same level of service as Akill due to his vast level of knowledge and due diligence. I would highly recommend Akill to anyone seeking advice his dedication to his clients is second to none, thank you Akill
