Athertons: 30 Years Local

Established in 1994, we've been selling homes and land across the North West for well over 30 years. Three offices. One mission: to make buying and selling property a positive experience.

Who We Are

Specialists in homes, land, and local knowledge

Athertons Property & Land was founded in 1994 by John Atherton, a chartered surveyor and MRICS member. Today, we operate from two offices — Whalley and Barrowford — serving the Ribble Valley and wider Lancashire market with a team of 12 experienced professionals.

In 2024, we merged with Anderton Bosonnet, bringing together decades of combined expertise. Our team includes specialists with 17–30+ years of local market experience, including Russell Anderton (30+ years in Ribble Valley), Helen Jones (17 years), and Angela Lorek (20+ years with Anderton Bosonnet since 2001).

We believe that selling or buying property should be a positive, informed experience — not a stressful one. That's why we combine traditional values of personal communication with modern technology: professional photography, drone imagery, video tours, and 360-degree virtual tours. Every property goes live within 24 hours, and prospective buyers are notified just as quickly.

Selling with Athertons

Selling a home is one of life's biggest decisions — and it can feel emotional and uncertain. We take the stress out of the process by combining industry expertise with personal advice tailored to your circumstances. Our sales and marketing approach blends traditional communication with cutting-edge technology, ensuring your property reaches the right buyers at the right time and achieves the best possible price.

Property Valuation: Get It Right

Pricing your home correctly is the single most important decision you'll make when selling. Price too high and you risk no interest; price too low and you leave money on the table. At Athertons, we pride ourselves on impartial, expert advice. Our valuers have in-depth knowledge of the Ribble Valley and access to an extensive database of recent sales — so we help you find the sweet spot between market reality and maximum return.
