GoogleI would not recommend Miles & Barr estate agents in Ashford. My experience with them not very pleasant, in our completion day they did so late, we had to call them constantly how long still going to take and later they said they left us key in the property locker they didn't even came to the property for handing key to us that's so disappointing I see other state agent do really appreciate with there clients at least we were expecting that.

TrustpilotAs a tenant over 2 years with Miles and…
As a tenant over 2 years with Miles and Barrs I repeatedly experienced missed and poor communications, blatant failure to follow procedures and policies, including failures to formally received a complaint. Attitude of senior managers was arrogant and dismissive. A company very much geared towards landlords and NOT tenants.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We strive to provide a professional service to both landlords and tenants and will take your comments on board as part of our ongoing review of our processes.

TrustpilotI’m giving the company 3 stars Diane 100.
I’m giving the company, Miles and Barr, only 3 stars because to be honest they are hopeless. I’ve had so many problems with them due to the lack of last minute information and requests that at one point I was seriously considering taking my business to another company. Having said that there is one person who is outstanding. Diane !! She is an absolute credit to the company. Always extremely pleasant, helpful in every way, answers any questions I may have, always emails or calls me back when asked, and sorts out any issues I may have. If it were possible I would give Diane 100 stars. In my opinion she should be running the company and the company would be a lot better off if she were.

TrustpilotProfessionalism
Our initial viewing of the property by the Sales Advisor who conducted our initial viewing of the property, was unprepared & ill advised before showing us around. However this was compensated by the professionalism of Denise Lumpkin, Sales Progressor, who couldn't have been more helpful.
Thank you for sharing your experience. We're sorry to hear that your initial viewing was not up to our usual standards. We appreciate your kind words about Denise's professionalism and support. We strive to deliver a seamless experience and would love to discuss any further concerns you may have.

TrustpilotEmily finally did it, well done
Took a long time to sell but but Emily Stickler in particularly drove it forward with lets say challenging buyers. would recommend the company with no problems but the selling market really needs a overhaul in that once you make an offer, you should place a NRD. would save a lot of expense and wasted time.
We appreciate your feedback and are glad you recommend our services. We acknowledge the selling process took longer than expected, and we're thankful someone on our team persevered with difficult buyers. We value your suggestion on improving the market.

TrustpilotHighly recomend.
I’ve purchased two properties through this estate agent and worked with the same sales progressor on both occasions. Becky White has been consistently professional, well-informed, and proactive throughout. She communicates clearly, follows through on her commitments, and keeps you updated at every stage.

TrustpilotDaylight robbery ID check fees
Called the Folkestone branch to enquire why ads for properties they are selling contain a note that all buyers must pay £60 plus VAT for anti money laundering checks before a memorandum of sale can be issued. The girl I spoke to simply said that this was a policy set by their head office. These checks cost pocket change and most estate agents in the area (I checked with at least 8 of them) told me they cover this as a normal cost of business. Charging this sort of price is nothing more than utter greed and profiteering off of people who don't realise they're being fleeced. When I told the girl that this would prevent me from buying a property through them she was unconcerned. I hope potential sellers realise that their business practices will put buyers off. Absolutely unacceptable.
We take the point raised in your review seriously, as we take great care in delivering a professional and transparent experience. Sellers and buyers are required by law to have an Anti-Money Laundering (AML) check before a home can be marketed to buyers and a sale agreed to buyers. We take our legal obligations seriously and like many other businesses within our industry, these checks are an additional charge as they are carried out by a professional, qualified third party.
Where the same review appears twice we show it once. We leave out reviews that name another agent or another of the brand's offices.
