Fantastic experience: Amazing Estate Agents. As a first time buyer, I felt pretty anxious about the whole thing, but Hugh, Pam and the rest of the team at Burkmars made me feel relaxed and kept me updated every step of the way. I couldn't be happier and will be sure to recommend their services.

Doug Wright Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Great work from all the team at Burkmars, spanning 30 Years I’ve used them and always been very professional and efficient, thank you for my recent house sale

Graham Eason Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended. Burkmars provides the sort of engaged, personal service that feels rare nowadays. They made the process of selling and buying easy, always responding quickly to questions and issues and always feeling like they were on top of what was happening. The benefit of Burkmars is the customer service you can’t see when you choose an agent, but which is invaluable during an inevitably complicated house purchase sale. Thank you to Michael and the team.

Jan Published on Google

Adam Stote Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Fantastic Estate Agents. Very professional service. Very responsive to emails and regular phone calls and updates. House was sold in good time and without any hiccups. Highly recommended.

Kirk Published on Google

Fantastic experience: After viewing a few houses that were listed by Burkmars and being impressed by the professionalism we decided to sell our property through Burkmars, it was definitely the right decision, not selling or buying a house before we were rather nervous but thankfully we chose the right estate agent and we were looked after all the way through the process, Hugh gave us a valuation, Michael did the photos and listing and Ellen, Pam and Hugh did the viewings, Hugh got us a realistic price for our house and negotiated a good price for the house of which we were interested, the whole conveyancing process with the solicitors took a while but luckily we had Hugh who was there for the whole process to reassure us and even helped negotiate a suitable completion date so we could exchange contracts, we are so pleased we chose Burkmars and we are sure we wouldn’t have got through the process using any other Estate Agent.

Fantastic experience: On behalf of our family I am delighted to highly recommend the Burkmars team who assisted us with the selling of our parents Lymington property. From the outset, Michael, Hugh and Ellen demonstrated professionalism, expertise and a genuine commitment ensuring the process went smoothly. The team was always positive, responsive and approachable and whilst we were unfortunate not to complete on a few of the prospective buyers, we never had any doubt that the Burkmars team would deliver for us. We never felt rushed or pressured into making any decisions and when our chain was completed things progressed well and quickly. Thanks Michael and team, mum and dad would have been very pleased.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Burkmars Estate Agent in Lymington. I predominately spoke with Hugh and Michael, who provided exemplary service throughout my first home buying process. Their knowledge of the local area and the property market was of great help, and they consistently presented me with a range of options that matched my needs. What truly sets Hugh and Burkmars apart from other estate agents are their genuine care and personal touch. Hugh understood that buying a home is a significant milestone in one's life, and ensured that I felt supported and informed every step of the way. Their transparency and honesty were refreshing, and I never felt pressured or rushed into making a decision which ensured that I had an exceptional experience.

Fantastic experience: The team at Burkmars provided an excellent service when I sold my property in January 2023. The team is highly professional, courteous and so helpful. They answered my queries quickly and no question was too much trouble. Their advice in preparing the property for sale was invaluable, as was every member of the team's genuine knowledge and experience of the property market in the Lymington area. Their valuation was fair; not inflated to convince me that they were the agency to use!! It was a pleasure to use a local, privately owned business and I would not go anywhere else if I have a property to sell in future. Many thanks to Steve, Michael & Hugh.

Fantastic experience: Burkmars sold my parents house near Lymington. It was in need of modernisation and proved hard to sell at the begining but Hugh at Burkmars worked hard on making sure lots of buyers were engaged. After a few months the house was sold. Burkmars did lots of work for me in selling the house which was not easy but in the end a great result all round. As I live in the north it was most helpful being able to leave it all to them. Thanks to all at Burkmars.

Positive experience: At the end of last year Burkmar sold my home of 21 years and helped me purchase a local property which would accommodate my growing family. The initial visit from Michael was very helpful to help me see the home from a buyers perspective. The viewings were arranged well, usually giving us plenty of time to prepare and discussions with Burkmar around price points was constructive. Hugh Dathan led our sell and purchase and when we were loosing our focus due to the length of time these things take he was a calm and informative.
