Our Services and Fees
Birkmyre Property Consultants are a specialist, independent estate agency handling the sale, rental and management of all types and styles of property from studio flats to large country houses and commercial properties across Berkshire and Wiltshire. Our USP is our breadth of experience, transparency and efficiency, all of which combine with our wide market knowledge to achieve results. We are able to offer all up-to-date marketing techniques whilst not losing sight of the need for more personal touches and traditional methods that still work. Since opening our office in 2009, we have provided customers with the highest level of service across residential and commercial disciplines. With strong connections to London buyers, we have become a residential sales leader and a first choice option for buyers and sellers requiring a genuinely bespoke service. We have a particularly sound knowledge and track record in villages around Marlborough, Devizes, Hungerford, Newbury, Andover and in the Pewsey Vale.
