Love living here as much as we do!

With family links to Penarth dating back to the nineteenth century, when David set up the agency in 1969, he located it in the heart of his much-loved home town.

More than 50 years later, David Baker & Co remains a family business. Still living here, working alongside other local businesses, and championing community causes, our heritage isn't just something we're proud of, it's an asset that helps us sell your home.

We're from Penarth. We live here, work here, and shop here. We walk these streets everyday. We know the secret parks, the handy shortcuts, the hidden gems, the good schools, and the best place for a pint, glass of wine or a coffee. Using this intimate local knowledge to match different streets to different circumstances, we'll find a buyer who loves your home as much as you do.

What We Offer

How do we help you sell your property? A realistic valuation, attention to detail, considered marketing, and plain hard work.

We'll come back when it's sunny.

Home guide

Along with quality photos, your property particulars will include all of the details buyers consider essential. We'll conduct a complete survey of the interior and exterior footprint, establish energy performance ratings, council tax banding charges, and add a full assessment in the copy description. Plus we'll make sure any specific history, listing or points for interest are also included.

Floor plans

We always include floor plans, and there's no extra cost. Although 3-D plans are readily available, we stick to a traditional top down view to enhance clarity and avoid confusion.
