BARTLE PYE RESIDENTIAL is a partnership headed by Sue Burden, Mariana Hardcastle and Phillip Rockford FNAEA, who between them have decades of experience in the property market; both nationally and more importantly in the local area.

Our aim is to offer all our clients a service that outshines other estate agents and delivers discretion, trust and absolute reliability. We work closely with solicitors, surveyors, lenders and financial advisors to provide effective solutions from the straight forward to the more complex transaction.

Our standards are based on the principal of not just selling houses but helping people to make the right move. We sell homes for people with an emphasis on "homes" and "people".

Phillip Rockford FNAEA CPEA MCMI.  Phillip has been in the property business for the past 14 years.  Having obtained his CPEA qualifications from the National Association of Estate Agents in 2000.  He has managed a number of branches within Dorset and Hampshire and so brings  a wealth of knowledge and experience about the current market.  Prior to  that he worked extensively in the Middle East and Italy, before returning to the UK to specialise in land, new homes and residential properties. 

Sue Burden has been selling property for more than two decades, throughout Hampshire, Wiltshire and Dorset.  Dorset has been her home for the last 12 years and she has loved working in the Dorchester area for all of that time, managing branches, running new homes sites and assisting developers.  Her speciality is land and new homes, although she is equally at home marketing resale properties.  People are her passion and she enjoys the achievement of making the buying and selling process as smooth and speedy as possible. 

Mariana Hardcastle joined BARTLE PYE RESIDENTIAL bringing over 20 years of Residential Sales experience to the table. Her wealth of experience was largely gained in London -working within some of the top High Street Agencies within the Capital from Clapham through to Chelsea and finally spending approximately nine years heading up the exciting growth of the residential market in and around London and Tower Bridges including Borough Market and Bermondsey. Concentrating from large warehouse developments with some of the country's leading developers to entire streets of new build houses!

As if that was not exciting enough; a move to the country came next and with the same enthusiasm for the property market has now spent the last three years working within Dorchester and the surrounding areas specialising in a broad range of residential properties whilst gaining a considerable knowledge of the area.

BARTLE PYE COMMERCIAL is set up to provide solutions for the commercial occupier, investor and developer across Dorset and Hampshire. Matt Pye and Jan Merriott MRICS between them cover all aspects of commercial property: industrial, retail, hotel and leisure, development land and office space.
