Barbers in short
Barbers is a Wellington sales and lettings agent on Church Street, presenting over 175 years in residential property across four Shropshire offices. The limited company behind it, A M Arthan Limited, has been on the company record since 2007 with its registered office at the Wellington branch. Licensed NAEA and ARLA Propertymark membership is stated on the site. A property search with current sale and rental instructions runs from the site, and the Wellington address matches across the site, the register and the company record.
Customer reviews are strong, at 4.8 from 145 Google reviews. Redress sits on the Ombudsman register. Our view is that Barbers suits sellers across Shropshire who want a four-office agent with deep roots — though rental adverts note fees without amounts and no sales fee scale is published.
