GoogleBarton Fleming are the best!!
Second time working with Barton Fleming. First time as a buyer and this time as a seller.
Our house sold in 7 days! Shout out to Terry for getting that done.
Little did we know we were entering a rather complicated chain which got very difficult and drawn out. Thank god we had Colin on the case who went above and beyond to get the chain moving. He was speaking to other estate agents, other lawyers and even the developer on the site of a new build that was holding things up. There wasn’t anything he wouldn’t do to help get things over the line.
I just want to thank the team. You really looked after us and did everything you could to get us moving.
Seriously - if you’re selling your house get this amazing local business on the case.

GoogleBarton Fleming Estate Agents Bicester Branch, Stuff of Legends!
Given the volatility of the property market, house buying has never been any easier proposition. But that was before my path crossed with affable kind-hearted man Terry Steventon. I wish to record a large debt of gratitude to Terry Steventon of Barton Fleming Estate Agents in Bicester Oxfordshire for his outstanding support in facilitating my onward home purchase.
From our very first meeting, Terry was exceedingly professional, approachable, and full of expert advice, making the whole process so much easier and far less stressful than I expected.
He constantly kept me updated every step of the way, promptly answered all my questions, and went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. In addition, Terry was exceedingly brilliant with both email and telephone communication. Terry’s property market knowledge, attention to detail, and friendly approach made all the difference and I truly appreciated his honest guidance and dedication.
Thanks to Terry’s collective handwork with his team at Barton Fleming Bicester Branch, I was able to buy a dream home for my family at a reasonable price right in the heart of opulent Oxfordshire. I would highly recommend Barton Fleming Estate Agents to anyone looking to sell or buy their next property. To Terry, Edwina, Colin and the entire team behind the scenes. Thank you again and again for everything! My family and I couldn’t be happier in our new home.

GoogleWriting this review as my previous review seems to have been removed. I suspect it maybe because it was so glowing that Google thought it had been written by Barton Fleming themselves!
Anyhow, we used Barton Fleming to sell our house which completed back in March 2025. As someone who has had many dealing with estate agents over the years, I have to say the Barton Fleming are the best agent I have ever dealt with. All of the team are very professional in their approach and I never had a sense of any BS being used. Colin in particular was excellent. Communication was very good, his level of experience shone through and is a great problem solver with a positive attitude.
If you are looking to sell your property in the Bicester or surrounding area, you must get in touch with Barton Fleming. Very highly rated. Thank you Colin, Terry, Matthew.

Hi,
Wow. That's a lovely review! Thank you very much. March was a difficult month with lots of cases all trying to beat the stamp duty deadline so there was lots of very intense and emotionally charged work going on to get cases through the legal work, especially.
Thanks for the shout out for me but as ever if Terry wasn't there to lighten the load on other tasks I wouldn't get as much time made available to tackle critical jobs at the right moment, so ultimately its a team effort.
Thanks again, Colin & the team.

GoogleWe highly recommend Barton Fleming Estate Agents, Colin and the team are absolutely amazing. Truly 5 stars service from the initial contact to place our house on the market to the supervised viewings and especially throughout the rest of the sales process,
which in our case was extremely difficult due to the property chain we were in and the pressure we were put under.
We were delighted how quickly Terry was able to secure a buyer for our house and how Colin went above and beyond to help and advise us on our property purchase in Wales and the many issues we then encountered from the unreasonable
expectations that were forced upon us by the property chain.
Needless to say, a very big thank you to Colin and the team, it would not have been possible without your professionalism and expertise, the insights and much appreciated advice to get us to the finish line.

GoogleI have used Barton/Fleming Estate Agency last year, when for the 1st time I was selling a property, can't thank Colin and all team enough, for such a smooth, easy and very professional transaction, all questions answered, very helpful in every aspect!
Second part of this review, a year after the sale, I was seeking an advice from Colin about the new property, even though I am not buying the property through Barton/Fleming, once again, very helpful and without hesitation, he gave me very impressive, honest, free, understandable advice that enabled me to make the decision to go ahead. Thank you once again.

GoogleI popped into the Barton Fleming office to enquire about a property and was really impressed how knowledgeable and helpful Colin and Terry were. Their advice was invaluable and they pointed out issues and pitfalls that I hadn't even thought of. Colin took the time to explain many aspects of buying a house, and I left their office with a clearer idea on what to expect on the path to buying a property.
So thank you all at Barton Fleming for going above and beyond to help me.

GoogleWe have recently sold our house in Bicester with Barton Fleming. Although our sale seemed straightforward to start with, difficulties elsewhere in the chain led us to unexpected complications. Barton Fleming went multiple extra miles to save the situation and it was their great work that prevented our sale from falling through for which we are immensely grateful.
Barton Fleming are an independent local agent with deep knowledge and understanding of the local market, of the issues typical for houses located in different parts of Bicester and the neighbouring towns, but also of the broader legal framework of the property market. In case of any issues like the need for extra certificates they know trustworthy people one can ask for help. Last but not least, the solicitor they recommended to us has also been excellent. We are happy to recommend Barton Fleming without any hesitation!

Hi Michal,
Firstly, 'Hi' to Nic as well and I hope the new job is going well and that you are settled in the new house.
Thank you for taking the time out of your Sunday family time to write such a kind review. Its very much appreciated.
Yours chain was only one sale behind you (through another agent) but with the freeholder of that flat changing, to a new company name and that being part of a larger group of companies, and then them selling it to somebody they couldn't instantly identify, it was a tough one. With no Land Registry fresh registration yet identifying the freeholder it was complicated. The management company didn't even know who their own freeholder was. It made it complicated when the buying solicitors needed to serve a Deed of Covenant on the freeholder. Fortunately I spent 5 hours straight going through company house records, making phone calls to large company CEOs and appealing to an accountancy firm to pass on messages that they weren't paid to do, we made contact directly with the new freeholder. He was very accommodating once I explained the position and gave us his private mobile number if we needed to follow up. In short we did in 5 hours what the solicitors couldn't achieve in 5 months. Even after that the flats buyer's (down chain) solicitors couldn't get organised so it took another two weeks to finally go.
Well done for hanging on in there for the right result!
I'm just glad we got it over the line.
Time we had conveyancing reforms in this country, leaseholds are becoming stupidly complicated.
Take care!
Colin & The Team.

GoogleWe recently completed our house move which involved a large chain and plenty of potential hurdles along the way. Throughout the entire process, Barton Fleming were absolutely fantastic. They kept us fully informed at every stage, regularly updating us on progress and clearly explaining what was happening behind the scenes. They were also very understanding when they had me call randomly with any questions or updates.
What really stood out was how proactive they were, not just waiting for things to happen, but actively chasing solicitors and other parties to make sure the chain kept moving forward. Their professionalism, persistence, and excellent communication made what could have been a very stressful process so much smoother.
Thanks to their hard work, we’re now settled in our dream home. We couldn’t recommend them highly enough!

GoogleBarton Fleming are the best estate agents we have dealt with by far. The team are all very knowledgeable and lovely to deal with. We have recently sold our house, however, the other estate agent that we were buying from were useless as were most of the solicitors involved in the very small chain. If Colin had not stepped in and managed everyone from the top to the bottom of the chain I do not believe we would have moved. Colin kept our buyers up to date, he reassured us as much as he could and essentially did the work of the estate agent we were buying from. He kept in contact with the solicitors and did not allow them to drop the ball as they had done many times early on in to the sale/purchase. He went above and beyond and put the customer (us) first! Colin and the team have set a high standard that many other estate agents could learn from!

HI Sam,
Thank you so much for such a detailed review, lovely comments and five stars. Bearing in mind you've only just moved in yesterday, we really appreciate you taking the time out to post this review, as we know how busy you are!
Although you largely heard from me, you may not have realised that the whole team made contributions in the background so I'll pass your thanks to them too.
Sometimes we just have to step in and solve the problems of other people in the chain for them. Ultimately, each link in a chain is reliant on all the others so it can be a bit of a juggling act sometimes and we end up micro-managing things, which then increases anxiety, so end up having to manage that impact as well.
Getting you moved has made my Christmas and finally you get to put the tree up in the right house! I know you have a bit of a project on the house you've moved to so good luck with that and if you need to pick my brain on anything just give me a call.
Say 'Hi' to Neil. Thanks Again and Happy Christmas!
