Barlows combines traditional values and long experience with a dynamic team of property professionals embracing the highest standards.

Established in 1909 at Chepstow House in Manchester, Barlows became a listed public company in 1920 shortly after which began a long collaboration between the Barlows and Fildes families which continues today. After 81 years with a full quote on the London Stock Exchange, Barlows was taken private in 2001.

Today Barlows is recognised as one of the region’s leading property houses. Headed by Richard Fildes and Andrew Bird, the company operates from offices in Chester, a central location which enables its specialist Chartered Surveyors to provide personal, on-site attendance throughout the country.

The company is currently involved in a number of development, investment and management projects, with a total value in excess of £250million.
