Real experiences, trusted results – see why buyers, sellers, landlords, and tenants choose Barrain Estate Agents.

"Had a great experience with Barrain, mainly thanks to Ehab! He was super helpful, always quick to respond, and made the whole process way easier than I expected. He was professional, proactive, and genuinely seemed to care about getting everything sorted smoothly. It’s rare to find an estate agent who’s this reliable, so I really appreciated his effort. If you’re looking for someone who actually makes the process stress-free, I’d definitely recommend Ehab and the team at Barrain!"

FAQ

We are here to help you when you need us for selling, buying, leasing, renting or sourcing properties. So if you have a question then drop us a line. Plus, you can find most answers to your questions right on this page.

Our estate agency fees depend on the level of service you need, whether you’re selling, letting, or managing a property. We offer competitive rates for properties across Hackney, Dalston, Shoreditch, and surrounding areas.

Aside from estate agency fees, you may need to cover solicitor fees, Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) costs, and potential mortgage exit fees. If your property is leasehold, there could be additional charges from the freeholder or managing agent.

Typical costs when selling a property include:

Estate agent commission (percentage of the sale price)
Solicitor/conveyancing fees
EPC certificate
Removals and final utility bills

No, our team will conduct all property viewings on your behalf. We offer flexible viewing times, including evenings and weekends, to suit potential buyers and tenants.

Our experienced estate agents handle all viewings. We extend property viewings until 8 pm, making it easier for serious buyers and tenants to visit at a convenient time.

We market properties on Rightmove, Zoopla, OnTheMarket, and other leading platforms, alongside targeted social media campaigns and our extensive buyer database.

If you’re buying another property, you may be liable for Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT). Rates depend on your circumstances, including whether you’re a first-time buyer, purchasing an additional property, or a non-UK resident.

You may need to pay Capital Gains Tax (CGT) if your property is not your primary residence. The amount depends on the profit made from the sale and your tax bracket. We recommend speaking with a tax advisor for tailored guidance.

No, you are under no obligation to accept an offer. Our negotiators will advise on market value and buyer interest to help you make the right decision.

If you own the property outright, your title deeds should be with HM Land Registry or your solicitor. If you have a mortgage, your lender may hold them.

If you’re selling a leasehold property, you may need to provide a leasehold management pack, which includes service charge details and ground rent costs. We can assist in liaising with your freeholder or management company to ensure a smooth process.
