Baron & Cabot Reviews 252

Easy to work with and what is usually a complex process was made easy through the great work of Judy Maina and Tom Hepworth. Both are really on the ball and know how to deal with people. Would highly recommend these two and the company to anyone wanting to buy property whether in or outside of the uk.

Top Realtor. Very hard working and smart. Always has new investment opportunities for his clients all around the world. Also looks out for the best deals so clients get the best bang for their buck.

I had an excellent experience working with this real estate company to purchase a property in the UK as a foreign buyer. From the very beginning, Tom guided me through what could have been a complicated and overwhelming process. He made everything surprisingly straightforward, explaining each step clearly and providing expert advice whenever roadblocks came up.

What stood out most was Tom’s deep knowledge of the UK property market and his ability to anticipate potential challenges before they became issues. He was always available to answer my questions, big or small, and his guidance gave me complete confidence throughout the purchase.

Thanks to Tom and the team, buying my property in the UK was smooth, stress-free, and successful. I highly recommend them to anyone, especially international buyers looking for reliable expertise and trustworthy service.

I had the pleasure of working with Ginny Wai during my recent search for a buy-to-let property in Manchester, and I am grateful for her professionalism, responsiveness, and insight. Ginny recommended Sky Gardens, and her advice was timely, thoughtful, and well-aligned with my investment criteria.

She demonstrated a strong understanding of the Manchester property market, and her ability to highlight both the financial and lifestyle appeal of the development was immensely helpful. I particularly appreciated her patient approach—never pushy, always informative—and the way she tailored her recommendations based on my preferences and goals.

For anyone exploring property investment opportunities in Manchester or across the UK, I would not hesitate to recommend Ginny. She brings a rare combination of market knowledge, dedication, and client-centric service.

Thank you, Ginny, for your time and support throughout this process.

Tom and Amy were excellent throughout the process of purchase. I appreciated the regular follow ups, especially being on top of things to close the out the purchase. Delighted to work with them and will highly recommend them.

Amy and Jason have been very helpful to me. Their efforts made the business process very simple. They were available and happy to answer all questions and gave very clear and helpful responses to all inquiries made and their business is very sound.. a typical of example of you sitting back and letting your money work for you. I am happy doing business with them.

My experience was very interesting and very helpful

Jason, Jake, and Amy at Baron & Cabot have been quite amazing in handling my UK property purchase experience so far. From choice of investment, responding promptly to my every enquiry to helping with payment options, it’s all been great. A very refreshing departure from a previous experience with another company. I am very happy with the level of service from Baron & Cabot and look forward to more dealings with them.

It was a beautiful experience working with Zayn and Makshuda during the entire process as they were hands-on at every point in time to help navigate through especially the difficult periods. However, it would be nice if your solicitors gave a more transparent breakdown of true costs at the start of the process. Lack of adequate information distorted clarify and preparedness on my part.

I recently purchased my dream home with the help of Amy and Leah . I couldn't be more grateful for their exceptional service. From onboarding to closing, they were patient, knowledgeable, and committed to ensuring a smooth transaction.My situation was unique in many ways as I am buying from a foreign land but they assisted me to make the process as smooth as it can be.

Their expertise and guidance were invaluable, and they went above and beyond to address my concerns and questions as a first time buyer from overseas. Their dedication to getting the job done was impressive, and I felt confident in their abilities throughout the entire process.

Thank you ladies , for your hard work, patience, and commitment. You truly made my home buying experience a positive one. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and professional sales representative from B&C.

I met Baron and Cabot through Zayn Mahmoud and I was very impressed with his knowledge and ability to navigate me through the process, being my first attempt at buying a UK property.

Zayn and Makshuda practically held my hands all through the process, though there was a big push for reservation payment at the earlier stages.

By and large, I had a good experience with the duo and they saw me through to the end.

Great support and highly appreciated.

We had an extremely disappointing experience with Baron & Cabot. From the outset, we were misled by inaccurate information and a lack of clear understanding on their part, which ultimately left us significantly out of pocket. My wife wrote a review to express our concerns, after which the company promptly contacted us in an apparent attempt to resolve the issue.

They engaged in lengthy discussions with my wife and, during the conversation, asked her to remove the negative review — a request she rightly declined. Following her refusal, they completely ceased communication with us — this was while we were still in the middle of the process, trying to navigate the complexities of completion. We were left without support during a critical stage. Now that the process is finished, we still have not heard from them.

This has only deepened our frustration and disappointment. It’s clear that their willingness to help extends only as far as it benefits them. We feel completely let down by their lack of professionalism and accountability. Based on our experience, we strongly advise others to stay away from this company.

Through Baron & Cabot, I was able to navigate the confusing maze of information to secure Buy 2 Let properties that will provide steady income from rental yields as well as capital appreciation overtime. Thomas Hepworth was and remains amazing in his honest guidance throughout the process.

Tom Hepworth’s professionalism, friendliness, and dedication are outstanding. He provides valuable market insights and maintains an excellent after-sales relationship. Highly recommended!

I had an amazing experience at Baron & Cabot! Tom Hepworth convinced me to invest my UN pension pay out into the UK real estate, a decision I had previously rejected when other notable agents approached me.

Tom was friendly, convincing and helpful. He went beyond what others did to ensure I was convinced and satisfied.

Amy Simpkin excellently took me through the other processes to a logical conclusion. Great team I must mention.

Today, I am excited to have invested in the Vivere residences.

I have already recommended Baron & Cabot to 3 retired colleagues of mine to also invest in the company.

Update: I was asked to remove the names of the two people mentioned in this review. I would guess that if I did not comply they would take the post down. Not surprising.
I dealt with a 5-star on Trustpilot (!) sales agent at this company.
Expressed interest in a property.
Was mislead by photographs and misinformation regarding the property being sold.
After being plagued by phone calls over a few weeks and on more than one occasion, well into the night, and finally being begged for the deposit, subject to being provided requested documentation, I paid 3000 pounds deposit. The documentation was not forthcoming, and finally a video demonstrated that my "view of the park" was about 5 degrees wide if standing on the absolute edge of my balcony. When it was clear the property did not meet my clearly stated criteria, I asked for a refund - flatly refused. I wrote several times, no avail. The request for refund emails were also addressed to someone who was is supposed to be a manager. (who knows).
Recordings of the meetings were made by B&C and by myself.

The following paragraph has also been changed due to pressure from Trust Pilot. Seems you can have an opinion, as long as it does not upset anyone. Interesting. So a re-take of my previous passage is as follows:
I felt placed under a good deal of pressure with many phone calls and emails, follow ups. It seemed expected that a property purchase was reasonably to be concluded within a few days of expressing interest.

Only one good thing - I pushed for detailed data, and did not finally buy the flat. I lost 3000 pounds, but I could have made a poor investment a hundred times greater.

This is all online - I will never ever make the mistake again.

UPDATE: We were sold on rental income of 1 year ago £1600, and a year later, now that we have completed (after prices should have gone up) we can't even get a tenant at £1000... Our property sits empty. Even after one of the directors phoned and told me they had the same properties renting for £1400 and we could definitely get that.... Take everything Baron and Cabot promises you with a HUGE pinch of salt. We have been left hugely out of pocket with a property we can't fill.

---------

We entered into a property investment deal with Baron & Cabot based on their assurances of a simple, profitable process. Unfortunately, our experience has been anything but that.

The biggest stress for us has been acquiring a mortgage. As overseas investors, we trusted their claims of having helped many foreign clients through the process — yet we've faced much higher mortgage rates than expected. This has been extremely frustrating and disappointing. Given their claimed experience, we feel they should have anticipated this and made us aware of the likely challenges and costs.

To make matters worse, the rental income is £300 per month less than what they originally forecasted — a huge difference that, combined with the higher mortgage rate and all the unexpected extra costs, has put us at a monthly loss. The financials we were given at the start simply do not reflect the reality.

Dealing with Baron & Cabot throughout this process has also been disheartening. The original people we spoke to are no longer even employed there, and we’ve been passed from person to person with little continuity or personalised support. It’s been hard to keep track of who’s managing what, and the entire process has lacked the professional consistency and care we were promised.

We now feel misled and deeply regret trusting their initial assurances. We strongly urge anyone considering working with them to be extremely cautious — dig deep into the details, get everything in writing, and prepare for a much more difficult and costly journey than what’s presented at the outset.

I had a fantastic experience working with Baron & Cabot, and I can't thank Leah and Amy enough for their support throughout the process. From the very beginning, they provided clear guidance, ensuring I fully understood each step. Their professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail made the entire journey smooth and stress-free.

Leah was very patient with me and particularly helpful in breaking down the investment details, making sure I had all the necessary information to make an informed decision. Amy was equally outstanding, keeping me updated and handling all the logistics seamlessly. Their combined expertise and dedication truly set Baron & Cabot apart.

If you're considering property investment, I highly recommend them! Their knowledge, transparency, and client-focused approach make the process straightforward and reassuring.

All I can say about Amy and Tom in summary is that they are both good team players with exceptional abilities to chase and deliver .

Thier swiftness to response when ever I have challenging concerns is very Unique and I am happy to continue building a long lasting bussiness relationship with them.

I advice fellow Nigerians to consider Barons and Cabot properties if considering investing in the UK!.
