About Barons Estate Agents Basingstoke

Barons Estate Agents was formed in 1988 by Kevin Penfold & Trevor Lee, with the office being opened in February of that year. That same office is still open and thriving at Winton Square in Basingstoke. Both directors started their career at large independent estate agencies in the early 1980’s, working their way up the career ladder from trainees, to office managers, and finally regional managers. Along the way gaining extensive knowledge of how to deal with a range of properties, people and the ever-changing legal system. Kevin & Trevor met whilst working at Parkers Independent Estate Agency and developed a great working relationship. Parkers was eventually taken over by Legal & General; keen not to enter the corporate environment and all that goes with it, Kevin & Trevor hatched plans to establish a local independent estate agent that would go the extra mile for their clients. Having undertaken extensive market research, they decided that Basingstoke was the place to be. Starting the agency with themselves and two other employees they hit the ground running by selling their first property in Brighton Hill and haven’t looked back since. Throughout the years they have witnessed ever changing market places, large property developments being built and ever-changing regulations and laws. At Barons Independent Estate Agents, we are passionate about property and pride ourselves on decades of successful selling in Basingstoke and the surrounding villages. Our team of negotiators are approachable, skilful and extremely knowledgeable, boasting over 75 years experience of estate agency in the Basingstoke and surrounding markets. Our unrivalled understanding of the area allows us to find the perfect property for customers, whether they are looking for an elegant Victorian town house or apartment in the town centre, or even a cottage in the Old Basing. We also advise on buy-to-let, investment properties or the purchase of a second home. Our experienced staff, all formally trained by Kevin & Trevor mean those selling through Barons Estate Agents can expect an excellent level of service. As leading residential independent estate agents in the surrounding area, we have a large property portfolio and being registered with us ensures that you will be contacted by telephone, email or text on all new properties that are coming to the market.

10/10

From the first contact with Barons, we had a warm, friendly reception. Every person we have dealt with be that face to face or on the phone, has been pleasant and approachable. There has never been pressure on us from Barons at any point. We must give a special thanks to Charlie who we have predominately dealt with, as he has been an absolute gem. From our viewings, to our weekly or daily telephone conversations, nothing has ever been too much trouble for Charlie. He has explained and guided us through this whole process and made the situation bearable. I think in the situation of buying a house, which can be very stressful, it's been nice to have a cheery, friendly person like Charlie, on the end of the phone to ease the pressure and provide you reassurance. I'll miss our update telephone calls! Thank you Charlie and Barons for helping us buy our first home :)

Excellent service.

I have sold my property with Barons and they have been amazing. From the initial contact in arranging a valuation to completion on the property. Trevor was a Godsend. Trevor was friendly and very informative without putting any pressure on me to go with Barons. He took his time in answering my questions and was available to answer my other questions after the valuation. He eased my anxiety with the whole selling process. The service from Barons was second to none. They are completely different to the other estate agents in the area. All the staff are friendly and approachable (while still being professional) at all times- on the phone and in person. Charlie was also fantastic. He kept me up to date with the progress. Nothing was too much and he explained everything very clearly. I had complete confidence in the team. If I ever need an estate agent again I will not hesitate in using Barons. They are fantastic. To all the team at Barons, thank you for everything! Mrs Harris

Excellent. Best in Basingstoke.

I have never had good things to say about estate agents in Basingstoke, until we came across Barons estate agents. Over the years we've bought and sold 3 houses. I think I can safely say, we've had dealings with pretty much every estate agent in Basingstoke, with trying to get appointments for viewings, as well as selling our houses. In the past, I've struggled to get appointments to view houses, with estate agents not getting back to me, not interested in the slightest. Turning up for the viewing, only to have the estate agent not turn up. Estate agents not bringing the keys.... Estate agents not knowing anything about the house. Vendors answering the door, not knowing we were coming etc.. When selling our houses, we found these other estate agents, were always standing up for the buyer, not you, the person selling. I feel that was simply because they want the sale to go through asap, so they get their money quicker. Rather than understanding the position you're in. Those estate agents include; property explorer, Connells, romans, Anthony Hamilton, McCarthy Holden, White and Russel. Avoid at all costs. Barons, were exceptional. Kevin runs a great team! You know exactly what's going on at every point of your sale and purchase. Weekly catch up calls, fighting your corner when needed. Text message reminders for viewings. Just an around seamless service you don't mind paying for. I don't believe I would of got the price I did for my house, if it wasn't for Barons. I would of probably had half the viewings to start with, if we went with a different agent. Thanks Charlie, Patrick, Trevor and Kevin.

Real personal touch with a team that strive to give you the best service

From the first contact to the point that we purchased, I was really impressed with the team at Barons. At every stage when they said they would call me, they did. They kept me up to date with progress and always welcomed my calls, and gave me extra information when needed to help me understand the process. When things stalled, the tenacious Trevor got involved and worked so hard to make sure things were resolved. I could not have asked for better service, and will certainly use Barons again when we sell our home in the future. Highly recommended.

They're ace

I have now both bought and sold through Barons, and I would thoroughly recommend them. Our chain fell apart while I was in hospital following the early birth of our baby and Barons took in upon themselves to keep their foot to the metal, find us a new buyer and keep things moving forward when we were not able to do much to chase things up ourselves. Charlie has been great to deal with, proactively chasing things up for us and keeping us in the loop at all times. Trevor was an absolute star on exchange day, and I couldn't have asked for better service. If you need a great estate agent in Basingstoke, go with Barons. Trust me, I've tried others and they don't compare.

Best estate agent I've worked with, bar none

Rightly or wrongly, estate agents have a reputation for being profit-obsessed wheeler-dealers who have no basic instinct for customer care. By contrast, Barons are the best estate agents I have ever worked with. Having experienced nightmare situations in the private rental sector, it was so refreshing to work with agents who were honest, professional and replete with bags of enthusiasm. As a first-time buyer, I was understandably anxious about the progress of the purchase, but Barons went the extra mile again and again to get it over the line. Trevor and Charlie in particular were absolutely outstanding. I cannot recommend these guys highly enough.

Charlie and the team at Barons, Basingstoke, were amazing. We was lucky enough to complete during the global pandamic and Baron's helped all the way, keeping me up to date on a weekly basis, answering any questions and pushing all parties …

Highly recommended

We bought our house through Barons, and were very impressed with the after-sales service. As such, when it was time to move on, it was an easy choice to use Barons to handle our sale. Everybody was very friendly and professional, and they were always easy to get hold of on the phone. The jewel in their crown however was Trevor who looks after the after sale part progressing to completion. He was tireless in his efforts in chasing down all other parties in our long (9 people!) chain. I don't doubt that if it was left to the other agents (particularly the online ones) in the chain, that we'd still be waiting to move! All in all, I wouldn't hesitate to use again.

Great estate agent and would highly recommend

We used Barons estate agent after our initial agent messed us about and was unable to sell our property. Trevor went above our expectations to ensure that we sold our house for the full asking price and also stayed on top of the process even answering questions in the evening and at weekends. They even found our new home so we were lucky that they were able to deal with the whole transaction from start to finish. We would most definitely use Barons again for our next sale.

Excellent Service

Barons in Basingstoke were instrumental in our being able to get the best deal for our property and to sell it quickly. They took care of all of the viewings and arranged an open day, which helped to expedite and seal the sale. They were knowledgeable, proactive, flexible and courteous. Following receipt of offers, they supported us throughout to bring exchange and completion to fruition. I had initially considered using a low-cost, online agent but am so pleased that we went down the "traditional" route. Thank you, Barons of Basingstoke.

The only Estate Agent in Basingstoke to use for Buying & Selling Property

I have used Barons to sell all the homes I have owned since they set up in Basingstoke. This time was no different, except that my needs for my next house had very exacting requirements. While other estate agents wrote me off as a 'time-waster', Barons followed up on every property that could fit my needs. This process took 2 years during which time the sale of my property fell through as I was unable to find a property to buy and 4 potential house purchases fell through (none through any fault of mine). Barons supported me throughout this entire process: finally finding me the house I would end up buying. They then intervened when problems surfaced with that purchase and I ended up renting before the purchase could be completed. My very grateful thanks to Trevor Lee for his tenacity throughout the 2 years; we had weekly calls on the progress of the house purchase which finally completed on April 7th 2017. Thank you to all the team at Barons for putting up with me for the past 2+ years.

The only Estate Agent I will ever use!!

Ok, so Estate Agents generally have a bad image - I have found this and been upset, duped and generally disappointed with the whole buying / selling of properties. We bought a property with Trevor at Baron's and I can safely say it was the most easy and stress free process possible. From day 1 the viewing of the property was arranged swiftly with one of the chaps on Trevor's team and he was knowledgeable and knew all the answers of the questions we threw at him (Not - I don't know and will come back to you!) All the team in Baron's were helpful, honest and extremely reliable. We had updates on the process of buying the property regularly, were were fully informed and the whole process was a breeze. I cannot recommend Baron's highly enough - they really are head and shoulders above the rest. Thanks Trevor and Team

Outstanding Sales and Support

Due to the complexities attached to our property, without Trevor Lee at Barons, I truly believe that the sale of our house would not have progressed to completion. If there was an obstacle in our way then Trevor found the answer. Without his tenacity I think we would have given up. Certainly if we had used an internet estate agents we would most definitely not have progressed to a completion. The support that he provided through very testing times was second to none. I cannot praise all the team at Barons highly enough for their professionalism from start to finish and would not hesitate to recommend them.

Simply The Best

From start to finish there is just not enough words to describe how good the team at Barons is! The moment you meet them with their down to earth approach you know that they are going to do their best for you. The directors, Trevor and Kevin are very knowledgable and the information they give is second to none. Some of the team we were fortunate to deal with, Charlie, Phil and Matt, again go out of their way to answer your questions and make the process as smooth as possible. No matter how big or small a problem that crops up they are alway a step ahead resolving it for you! A big thank to you all at Barons Basingstoke. I would highly recommend you!

Excellent service from start to finish

Barons exceeded our expectations; great communication, professional, approachable and efficient. They sold our house within 24 hours and were very supportive and understanding during the photos and viewings as we have two young children. In particular, Phil Sutton went above and beyond - he was even left holding the baby and playing with a toddler! It took us a while to find our dream home to buy and Barons supported us throughout this process. I would recommend Barons to all our local friends/family.

No question raised was too much trouble and they always delivered. They were very knowledgeable on the area and put my mind at ease several times. We would highly recommend them to anyone moving in to the area or in general. They are a class above the rest!

I love Barons Estate Agents :-)

The service that Barons Estate Agents gave us was really excellent from beginning to end. Matt gave us a very realistic evaluation of our property, unlike some other estate agents that in order to gain you as clients exaggerate the value. Matt also took magnificent pictures of our home that helped in getting the interest of many people. Kevin and Charlie did a brilliant job at the open day looking after our house and the house was sold on the day. Trevor jumped through hoops to make exchange and completion happen. The whole team has been a great support during this very stressful process and I would not hesitate to use them again or to recommend them to friends and family.

Couldn't ask for more

Fantastic agent who are experts in their field and appreciate the importance of communication to both buyer and seller. Kevin and Trevor were fantastic whilst I bought a property they were marketing. They gave me advice and guidance and they knew when it was right to update me on progress. They always called back as soon as they could and they did everything they could do help both the vendor and I. I would thoroughly recommend Barons and would definitely use them in future.

Professional Service - They are the best!

Been recently looked after by Trevor in Baron's, and I have to say that the service from start to finish was amazing. I didn't need to call the agent once as they had everything under control, and provided such a professional service. The whole team are very friendly, and nothing was ever too much trouble. I will be recommending them to all of my friends and family in the future. Thank you very much for making the whole experience so easy.

Professional Service

Excellent, professional service was provided by Kevin,Trevor and all the team. At every step we were kept informed of developments in the sale process. At times some of the delays were frustrating but Barons made every effort to move things along as quickly as possible by liaising and pressing all those involved in the sale. We know how much our buyer appreciated being kept in touch by Barons every step of the way and commented that they were provided with information far quicker than their own agent.!!!

Couldnt have asked for better

We spoke to various agents when we decided to sell our flat. Each of them visited our home and spoke about their services. We decided to go with Barons as we felt there was no hard sell and no pushiness and what they promised was good old fashioned customer service. And this is what we got. At every stage of the process they were on call for any query we had. They kept us updated throughout the process and we feel went above and beyond were needed. They made a really stressful process as painless as they could and we cant recommend them highly enough. Special thanks to Trevor for dealing with my frantic calls (sometimes out of hours!) and for making me smile even when I wanted to cry! In summary, great people and great service. Well done Barons!

Excellent service, would highly recommend

From the start Barons have delivered exactly what they said they would. The whole team are highly professional, friendly and honest. They kept us up to date with everything going on from start to finish and always had an honest answer for any questions we had. They kept us at ease the whole time which is exactly what you need when buying/selling, especially when it is the first time you have done it! They sold our place quickly and always kept us informed on new properties which came to market which were suitable for us. We really felt valued by everyone at Barons and would like to especially thank Trevor & Phil who we dealt with the most. I would use Barons again & again and will always recommend them to family/friends.

Fast sale and great teamwork

Barons impressed us from the start. Trevor was so much more amiable than others that quoted for the work and I felt that he and the team would do what they said. They did. They rolled into action very fast. Our home was on the market in a matter of days and sold (above the asking price) also in a matter of days. Once "sold" though Barons didn't stop. They kept in contact with all those in the chain and made sure we were well informed. One thing I liked was that I could talk to any of the team and they knew what was what. There was none of the, "I'll get him to ring you back," that you might get elsewhere. All of the team were polite, smartly turned out, and well informed. They helped make our move very smooth and I'd use them again very happily.
