We are purchasing a property through Miles and Barr and Lisa Cook (Sales Progression Manager) has been great to deal with. We’re unfortunately in a very long chain and she’s taken all of the follow-ups off our plate and ensured it’s been as smooth as possible - not an easy task in a lengthy chain. Thanks Lisa!

We're in the early stages of our house hunt, and Olivia Petri at Miles & Barr Canterbury has been very helpful; we've looked at a couple of Miles & Barr houses so far, and are returning for another viewing soon. I've now received a lot of extra support (inc. mortgage guidance in these turbulent times) and property alerts (surprisingly relevant), and Olivia is very responsive and easy to get hold of.

Lynette was a great help when viewing 4 properties across Canterbury. She was knowledgable about all the different areas and had a good idea of what we were looking for in a house! Highly recommend booking viewings across the city on one day- and with Lynette

Friendly, professional and knowledgeable

A professional service, all of the staff that I met were friendly and accommodating. I was impressed by the Senior Sales Progressor. Suzanne is experienced, informative, friendly and easy to talk to about any concerns I had/have. She is great person to have for linking both the seller and myself for information and, importantly, a sense of respect.

Recently I dealt with Mr. Luke Payne deputy branch manager of Miles & Barr and it was a pleasure to deal him. His knowledge of the market and his positive attitude and professionalism deserves 5 stars rating. Thanks Luke, thanks Miles & Barr.

For selling

Firstly, I am not affiliated with Miles & Barr in any way. This is my genuine experience.I was nervous about selling my property but Miles & Barr were very relaxed and guided me through the process. They gave good advice as to presentation and what buyers want to see which also helped the sale. Throughout the process the Team kept in regular contact about viewings, offers and feedback. They kept communication straightforward, easy to understand and their experience of this industry is clear to see. The house has sold in 4 months, which given current UK circumstances with Covid is a lot faster than I thought. Other notes are:Their fees are standard and dont seem excessive considering our sale price.Their recommended Conveyancers PLS were also excellent and compliment the Miles & Barr service.We never felt pushed or rushed into making a decision.And finally, we would definitely us Mile & Barr again.

I had the pleasure of working with a few members of the team at Miles & Barr Estate Agents while selling properties, and I genuinely could not fault the service. From start to finish the process was handled professionally, efficiently and with great communication throughout.

STAY CLEAR !Please be careful of this company

Please be careful of this company. They are wicked and conniving thieves. They came into our home with glossy brochures, and you know what the saying is!! mouth and no actions, not one person walked through the door, they done nothing but fobbed us off, saying that we had a viewings, and then at the last minute they said that the customers cancelled, but I knew that they were lying they took our money which was over £200 for the photographs and took our money for the ID checks charge us over £70.00 when other companies do this for free. It was all about money. We had to pay the agent guy £100 cash at the premises too. They said that they would do a deal and put the property up for 12 weeks, but they lied. It was put up for 20 weeks they didn’t sell. They just kept fobbing us off. All they wanted was our money. STAY CLEAR OF THESE ROBBERS & do the decent thing shop elsewhere. We hope that we’ve lost them a few customers from this review. We have let the local authorities know about this. Reply well you have - My partner & you won’t look into anything as your unprofessional- I will get my partner to put her review down when her email is updated - you have all her details

Absolutely poor service

Absolutely poor service. We recently moved out of Tannery Square, managed by Miles and Barr and are being charged a ridiculous fee for normal wear and tear and are being asked to pay for a professional clean despite cleaning the apartment. The agency is keeping over 40% of our deposit and refuses give our deposit back. Furthermore, they initially tried to charge us for items "missing", which were simply left in the closet. Poor service and incompetent handling of our move.

The kindest letting agents!

This is our first time moving and we were very nervous about the whole process, however Natalie made it a breeze! She was so kind and didn’t make us feel like we were at a disadvantage for being newbies to the moving process. She kept us up to date throughout the whole process and now we’re just waiting for the references to go through and we’ll be moving into our first place! So excited and cannot thank Natalie enough for making it such a speedy and easy process.

My husband and I were so impressed with how helpful and efficient James Sayer was when arranging our mortgage application. We had a very tight deadline in the end, so James worked tirelessly to get it all through for us which we are incredibly grateful for. He was always so quick to reply no matter what time or day of the week and happy to answer any question we had. We will definitely be recommending his services to our family and friends in the future.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

Awful agent

Awful agent, i will never be using them, they price properties way to high and nowhere near where what they are worth, when you submit offer they laugh at. All properties are 1st listed at 300k weather its worth that or not. Customer service is disgusting, they dont send you houses which are suitable like they say they will. They do not like working with you and when they acually send you houses that say will accept your offers all of a sudden when u offer it isnt accepted. They also ignore emails when you send them. They also do not ask you for your finances when you submit an offer. This has been on going since 1st of july 2023I contacted the manager as requested by phone and email and never heard back, so clearly didnt want to resolve my issues

Georgia is amazing. Found a selection of property to view all within the brief. She was a delight to view the properties with and very knowledgable about the property and the local area. The best agent I have worked with by far!

Sophie Collins has been absolutely amazing. My situation is not one that I wanted but sometimes life takes an unexpected turn. My partner and I had decided to go our separate ways and we have a young son. She has been respectful to me, very understanding and also extremely helpful. I have been kept in the loop at all times and updated on everything as it happened. I couldn't be happier with her service and helpful nature. Thank you so much Sophie. You have made this very difficult time that little bit easier. Thank you very much. Robert Godden.

Deliberately overpriced, appalling customer service

Deliberately overpriced the property to get the business. Then spend their time trying to get us to reduce it. Promised to update us every two weeks, only received one update in the whole 22 weeks I wasted being with the. No feedback whatsoever on viewings. Do not respond to emails, customer service is appalling. Then when you finally manage to get out of their contract they have the gaul to send an email reminding you of your contractual obligations completely ignoring the fact that they had failed on every front to meet theirs.

Excellent service! James Sayer, Sam and their whole team helped us a lot in acquiring our house. James was very dedicated in helping us to find the mortgage that was right for us despite the shortage of competitive mortgages with the background of the pandemic. It was business as usual for their team. They guided and supported us all through out the process until we finally got our keys! Very friendly and very prompt in addressing queries. I can't recommend them enough. Thank you guys!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Listed my property with Miles & Barr on a Wednesday, with the first viewings taking place on Saturday. By Saturday night we had 3 offers on the table and a subsequent sale. I was more than happy with the service provided by all staff with a special thanks to Rhyss Sawyer who was always available to assist in any way he could. This was the second time I have dealt with Miles & Barr and would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone who is looking to buy or sell.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

If you are looking for honest advise, a trustworthy service and professionalism this is the agent to use. I have been dealing with this team for the sale of our house in Ash and could not recommend the more highly. Not the first time selling a house in the Canterbury area and Miles and Barr did not only meet my expectations but exceeded them. Each staff member, especially Chloe who I dealt with was always so efficient, knowledgable and friendly. Fully recommend.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Excellent Service Highly Recommend

When choosing an agent for our sale we spoke to a few local agents. We decided to go with Miles & Barr as they seemed to be more professional and understanding to our needs. Sam was thorough with his explanation of how the company would market our property and the valuation was spot on.Zoe who did the viewings took the time to walk around the house with me prior to viewings to ensure she was aware of the many good points of our home, as well as what was being left and taken.Like many I wasn't happy with the fees that estate agents in general charge, but i have to admit they were worth every penny.Katie who was the sales progressor for our sale had many issues from the whole chain to deal with, she went above and beyond calling back after office hours to ensure she kept in contact and didn't keep us waiting for answers to enquiries. She is a real asset to the company and her working hours spent on our sale must come close to the fee we paid.After viewing many properties with other local agents and seeing how they dealt with communication and follow ups from viewings we had made, I AM SO PLEASED I CHOSE MILES & BARR as the other companies did not pay as much attention to detail and were very slow in dealing with enquiries and offers we made.Thank you Miles & Barr - Highly Recommend

From the first day we viewed our to be…

From the first day we viewed our to be home, we felt welcomed, supported and advised by the estate agents showing us around the property, to the sales agent managing us and our offer of the property. We were kept up to date with all information we needed to provide and the service was smooth and efficient. No query or question was too difficult and Miles and Barr were professional and sympathetic throughout. During the waiting process between our offer being accepted and the exchange we were kept up to date with the stage of the chain every fortnight before we had to ramp things up as we neared completion. Thank you Miles and Barr. A truly swift and easy service. Emily Stickler was absolutely fantastic. She kept us updated throughout the entire process, and as first time buyers she was clear and explained every step along the way and what to expect and when. She communicated efficiently with our solicitor and the ongoing chain and kept us all up to date with regard to the various hoops we, or the vendors had to jump through to move things along. Emily made the house purchase as stress free as possible and we really are thankful for her.

Great communication with all parties

Although the sale took a very long time to complete, the support from Louise Daly and the Miles & Barr team meant we always felt looked after.Louise was our main contact during the sale and was incredibly helpful throughout. She worked hard to maintain the momentum of the sale, particularly as it continuously seemed to be stalling due to slow solicitors. She was always fast to respond, even out of hours. She was polite, friendly and knowledgeable. Without her support, I'm sure the sale would have taken a lot longer to complete.
