Estate agents in Barking
Barking is where JDP does more business than anywhere else. It is a town centre with its own market, a regenerating riverside, and a housing stock that runs from interwar terraces to brand-new flats — which means buyers, renters, landlords and investors all want different things from the same postcode.
Selling and letting in Barking
We sell and let across IG11, from the streets around Barking Park and the Abbey Ruins to Movers Lane, Faircross and the newer riverside blocks. If you are weighing up whether to sell, let or hold, the quickest answer is a conversation with someone who has priced property on your street.
The housing stock
Mostly interwar and post-war terraces and semis with gardens, a good deal of ex-local-authority stock that sells and lets well, Victorian terraces closer to the town centre, and a growing number of new-build flats at Barking Riverside and around the station. Family houses with off-street parking are the stock that moves fastest.

First-time buyers priced out of Newham and Waltham Forest, and families trading up to a garden and a third bedroom.
