Report
First class very established Barnsley Estate agency, over 200 years experience of property management and selling. I would recommend highly to any buyers first time or seasoned buyers. Staff very good and helpful. I bought my first house through them admittedly through an auction house via Lancasters estate agents. 5 star service

I would definitely recommend Lancasters to anyone. My contact was Pat (and in her absence James ) both were very helpful professional, friendly and kept us informed at all times. Emails were always answered mostly by return. Would like to say a big thank you to Pat, James and the rest of the staff

I had a good experience with Lancasters. Alex Jones at the Barnsley branch did a fantastic job in chasing up solicitors, to try push the sale on as quickly and smoothly as possible. I look forward to working with them in the future.

Having previously found out (the hard way) which agents in the area not to use, our development company were blessed when we appointed Lancasters to sell our plots. Alex Jones who headed up the sales process there has been truly fantastic, never hesitating to go out of her way to assist not just ourselves but the buyers too. Friendly, approachable and very professional! In an age of questionable customer service across the UK, it was just refreshing to work with someone that wanted to do their job to the best of their ability and Alex certainly delivered. Highly recommend and will not hesitate to use her, and Lancasters, again on the next project. Rick

We recently sold our house with Lancasters and the service from start to finish could not have been better. We dealt with numerous members of staff, all of which were extremely professional, friendly and knowledgeable. We would like to extend an extra Thankyou to Alex who went above and beyond to ensure our sale and move went smoothly. We wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend to anyone looking to buy or sell that they contact Lancasters!

Was very impressed with the valuers assessment and his approach to advertising. The staff in the office were helpful and professional, my only criticism of Lancasters is their telephony service, there were many times i called the office and the answer machine said office closed. Whilst I appreciate phone lines could be busy, better to hear engage tone rather than a misleading message
