B | E Auction House  Reviews 

Barney Estates could sell flames to the devil!
Highly proactive and communicative.
My modest little studio got a shrewd appraisal, a stunning online presentation and a surprisingly good pre-auction offer despite a depressed pre-budget market.
A quick and painless sale.

We were buying a plot with them, and during the process, they removed two names from our side of the contract to push it through. Our £16k+ deposit is still tied up, their solicitors stopped responding once our legal team got involved, and the matter is ongoing as we pursue legal action.

Do your due diligence, read other reviews, and be very careful—especially with land at Shahwell in Leicestershire.

Very positive experience - would absolutely recommend Barney Estates to anyone looking for a fast, no hassle property sale.

I have spent some time liaising with Elliot to negotiate purchasing some land and have found him to be very responsive and easy to work with. He has been very helpful and professional throughout.

We purchased our property in June this year. I initially saw it on an Estate agent website and later discovered it was due to go to auction. After a couple of viewings and numerous telephone conversations with Patrick, we secured it outside of the auction. Patrick was amazing. He negotiated with the vendor to get us a great deal and helped us navigate through the process. He even recommended a good solicitor. He was always available if I needed some advice. A massive thank you to Patrick. We wouldn't have been able to buy our forever home without you.

It is a real pleasure working with Patrick and Amiee of Barney Estates. They are super efficient and helpful.

If you are looking to purchase a plot of land or a property via auction, I highly recommend Barneys Estates and Auctioneers. The team is lovely and demonstrates commitment, professionalism and efficiency in handling auctions. Thank you for making all the process smoother and easier ❤️

Amazing service. Highly recommend!

I bought a property through Barney Estates outside of auction and worked with Lydia Loveridge from start to finish. Lydia was responsive, professional, and transparent throughout. She explained the process clearly, kept me updated at every step, and coordinated promptly with solicitors so timelines didn’t slip. What could’ve been stressful felt straightforward thanks to her calm approach and attention to detail. I’d happily buy through Lydia again and recommend her to anyone looking for a smooth transaction.

Purchased a property outside of auction through Lydia who made the process very easy, she was very professional whilst dealing with us and helped in anyway she could.

“Bought 2 parcels of land with Elliot at Barney Estates, professional, informative and upfront, would highly recommend”

Elliot was fantastic – super quick response times and kept me reassured at every stage. Smooth and stress-free experience!

Barney estates were the agents during our tenancy and were consistently professional, helpful and efficient throughout. Highly recommended

My experience with Barneys Estates and Auctioneers has been nothing short of exceptional. Under the leadership of Aimee, the team demonstrated the highest level of professionalism, diligence, and care. Particular credit must be given to Elliot for the time and attention he devoted to guiding me through the legal pack. His clear explanations and thorough approach provided great reassurance and confidence throughout the process. The entire team reflected the same commitment ensuring that every detail was managed with efficiency. I would not hesitate to recommend Barneys Estates and Auctioneers to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and reliable auction house who provide a very unique service !!!

​I had an extremely negative experience with Barney Estates Ltd. We initially agreed to purchase a plot of land in Shawell for £15,000, plus a £3,000 fee. They had us sign documents and pay a £24,000 deposit for two plots, but they never explained that this deposit would be non-refundable after signing.
​The very next day, we discovered that contracts had already been exchanged. We were then informed that we owed an additional £33,000 - £7,500 fee for each plot and an additional £1,950 seller's fee per plot.
​When we asked our solicitor to review the paperwork, they uncovered a hidden clause that we would have to pay the seller a massive 35% of any increase in the land's value for the next 80 years. This was never disclosed to us and was buried in the fine print.
​The entire process felt misleading and unprofessional. I would not recommend doing business with this company.

I recently purchased a third property from this auction. This is the third in two years. I find the service very easy and the staff helpful and proactive. highly recommend.

The team at Barney Estates were brilliant. As a first-time auction buyer, I was nervous, but the entire process—from start to finish—was quick, easy, and efficient. Thank you very much to everyone involved!

The agent (Tamara) fully informed us of all we needed to know during a very rapid turnaround in order to exchange on the deal. Her senior colleague then ably assisted us in moving through numerous complexities to completion.

Amiee was always there when we needed advice, always returned calls and emails promptly, very happy with service we received.

These charlatans are advertising land that they do not have title to, and is not for sale. They are selling a road into a development in Alrewas that is adopted by the council. BEWARE !!!
