This company are a joke! Left a faulty Fire Alarm going from at least 830pm till 9am the next morning. The Fire Service were unable to silence the Alarm, and when Barnsdales were contacted they stated they were waiting for a quote! No response after 10pm from their 'out of hours' service! Appalling to leave residents in that position, with an alarm blaring all night long! Must do better!

Never use these people for block management. I unfortunately have to live in a flat they manage the grounds on and NOTHING gets done for the money they take. Use to be a beautiful place to live and the grounds were a jewel in Priory Courts crown but it’s a mess of late and run down. None cares including the lease holder and the mess they left it… in after cashing on two new builds is appalling. Staff are useless at organising trades and very rude. I’m sick of it had to lock down in a flat with a child and couldn’t use the green space as somover grown and mushrooms and weeds

Appalling service! Not to be trusted. They arranged work to my retail premises earlier this year (guttering) and since May 2021, I have been left with substantial leaks from the guttering that is now causing an environmental problem. Abdicate responsibility, won't reply to numerous emails and basically are not interested! They don't care!

Tried calling over the past 2 days. all I'm getting is either hung up on, or a failure to return calls. Not good for an "estabilished" business, and certainly no good to me as a prospected client. eagerly anticipate a response on the matter.

We recently used Barnsdales to find a new rental property in the area. They were helpful and understanding throughout, very professional, and we recommend them to local renters.

Shared parking means little for clients, although this is their main administration office. Staff are very helpful, polite and knowledgeable of their product (Property Management and Sales).
