About Armitstead Barnett LLP
Beyond the Ordinary: Your Partners in Rural Property
We don't just sell houses; we manage legacies and unlock the potential of the land. Whether you are looking to market a high-end village home, navigate a complex agricultural tenancy, or seek compensation for utility works, we bring a level of expertise that spans the entire property spectrum. Our approach is defined by the phrase "Aspire for more," ensuring every client receives a bespoke strategy tailored to their specific asset.
Why Homeowners and Landowners Across the North West Trust Us
With offices in North and South Lancashire, the Ribble Valley, and Cumbria, our reach is extensive, but our service remains deeply personal. We specialise in the "extraordinary" — properties that require more than a generic listing. This includes:
- High-End Residential: Luxury village homes, striking conversions, and unique period properties.
- Agricultural & Equestrian: Working farms, smallholdings, and professional stables.
- Development Land: Advising small to medium developers on viability, resale opportunities, and new home sites.
Led by RICS and CAAV Accredited Experts
Our advice is backed by the highest professional standards. Our leadership team are not just agents; they are RICS Registered Valuers and Fellows of the Central Association of Agricultural Valuers (FAAV).
Hannah Towers, our Head of Agency and Partner, leads our multi-office team with a focus on delivering the excellence we are known for. Simon Wells, Partner at our Ribble Valley office, brings over a decade of experience in rural valuations, estate planning, and infrastructure schemes. Recently, we welcomed Oliver Bateman as a Partner to our Cumbria office, further strengthening our presence in the North.
"We pride ourselves on providing practical, straightforward advice and meticulous attention to detail, tailored to each client’s unique objectives."
