TrustpilotProfessional Service
Blake arrived prepared for the initial visit, and took measurements throughout the house. We explained we had other appointments but as his agency had come recommended we would probably list with Miles & Barr. He accepted this with good grace, and returned to complete the contract once the other agents had visited. There was a better percentage fee offered by one of the others and our fees were adjusted to come into line with that more favourable rate. The house sold on the first day it was marketed.

TrustpilotA genuine Estate Agent who cares about their customers
I had been searching for a new home for a good few months, approached every estate agent possible & wasn't having any luck. Was beginning to give up hope when I literally struck gold at Miles & Barr when I received an email back from the lovely Holly Hill. I explained my situation and my search criteria and she took it upon herself to go over and beyond to help me find what I was looking for, providing me with options and really listening to my needs. She had the patience of a saint answering all my questions and explaining the process. I really felt like she cared about myself & the landlady and ensured we were the right mix. Totally recommend Miles & Barr especially Holly. Thank you so much. You really did restore my faith in the rental market at a really tricky time.

TrustpilotCan't give anything but10 out of 5!
Can't give anything but10 out of 5!! Anna is a credit to M&B!! The process has been made so much easier with her help! The process has been speedy and most of that is down to Anna's protection approach to what is quite a stressful time! We, recently have had a very poor experience with one of your competitors and so was refreshing to find that letting agencies are NOT all the same! Thank you. Kevan powell

TrustpilotProperty sale
As his executor, I sold my late father's house through Mile & Barr. The sales team were 'on it' right from the start resulting in a buyer being found within days of the property going on the market. So, well done to Matt Brisley and all involved. Debbie Mead was then responsible for progressing the sale which she did admirably - on the case of those dragging their heels when necessary and keeping me up to date throughout. Thank you.

Couldn't have asked for more from Miles and Barr with our house move. Tom Philbrick and Debbie Mead looked after us so well despite hiccups and delays along the way. Debbie was brilliant, she brokered some difficult conversations, kept us updated at all times and it was clear that she had our interests at heart. I really felt that I could talk to Debbie, she was always available and very receptive to our needs. In addition, throughout the house searching process and subsequent negotiations when we had found a house, Tom was also really helpful; he explained all the transactional small print clearly, was very respectful when he came in to our home and managed to get the property we wanted at the right price for us. All in all the whole team were superb, thank you :)

TrustpilotShocking complacency and incompetence
Goes back to November when I accepted an offer for my house from a company that it turns out wasn't even formed yet.Progression 'team' did nothing until mid January. Jodie Winch seems to be the entirety of the 'progression' team. Utterly unfit for purpose. Acknowledged communication failures..... nothing heard for another month. Nothing changed. All the chain worked towards (and were ready as agreed) the end of March..... not Miles and Barr. No communication, no checks that this was a viable buyer, no due diligence. It appears that their mortgage wasn't applied for until mid Feb !!!Drifted to end of first stamp duty holiday. Nothing happened. Buyer is now clearly totally unwilling to complete the sale. Drifted towards second stamp duty holiday. Nothing happened. Whole chain eventually collapsed. Incompetence, lack of communication, apathy, no due diligence, acknowledged failures not corrected, un-interested management.Shocking, upsetting experience and the end of my mums' dream move. Avoid, avoid, avoid.

TrustpilotProfessional service , diligently executed.
Emily has been my contact at Miles and Barr. I was buying my next property through them. I have received excellent professional service with good communication and support when it was needed. My sale was in a long chain and Emily chased right back to the beginning and kept me up to date with progress. She was honest about progress unlike some others I was dealing with. She checked in with me regularly and responded quickly when I contacted her. I would use Miles and Barr again.

The staff were through and ensured my case was dealt with efficiently. The staff were always friendly and answered any questions I felt needed to be asked. Moving is an overwhelming process but the staff made sure the process remained simple and made it clear what exactly needed to be done step-by-step to ensure a successful move. Overall I was very happy with the service provided and the staff should be commended for their dedication and patience.

TrustpilotStrange experience with this agent
Strange experience with this agent. We kept being told that viewers really wanted our house & then were offered a fraction of the asking price. They sent round a lot of viewers one of which offered 1/10th the asking price! Such a waste of our time. There was then a big gap with no viewings. A person then came round - offered 100K below asking & said they were a cash buyer. I did begin to wonder whether some kind of scam was in operation. We eventually took the house off the market & won't ever be going back to M&B

GoogleAs my partner had just completed his pupilage as a self employed barrister we were unsure whether we would be able to get a mortgage without the necessary 2 year accounts. James Sayer and his team were amazing at helping to find us a mortgage - our previous mortgage advisor was unable to help and specialist brokers in London had a huge fee. We were really impressed with all the advice and help provided throughout our mortgage application and could not recommend highly enough.

We both bought and sold a property with Miles and Barr, downsizing from a four-bedroom semi to a two-bedroom bungalow in the next street. The staff at Miles and Barr were knowledgeable and helpful throughout the whole process, in particular Rebecca Gravener who was the progress chaser and saw everything to a successful conclusion.

TrustpilotAppalling and shocking Estate Agent…DO NOT USE
Appalling and shocking Estate Agent that should not be in business and should be closed down. I cannot begin to describe the awful service provided by this estate agent. They never act in the owners behalf and carry out illegal practices, such as releasing a deposit to tenants before they have ended tenancy and check out is completed -which is breach of contract! Throughout the whole experience they have never acted in my interests and have always gone against what I have asked, despite me being a loyal customer for over 10 years. They are condescending, rude and no help whatsoever always belittling me on the phone, making me sound like my requests were stupid and that they were not going to complete these for me. Please read all these reviews before instructing them - we all cannot be wrong!!!!! They have caused me untold stress in an already stressful situation with a nightmare tenant that they RECOMMENDED to me and pushed for the tenancy. Please please do your research on these 'cowboy' agents.

We are very disappointed to read your review and we are sorry to hear you feel our service didn't meet your expectations. However, we do not think that it is a fair reflection of the events and our service. You had a sale and your tenant refused to move out which meant you lost your sale. We carried on trying to find the tenant a property to save you the cost and time of going to court. We eventually found the tenant a property and the day before she was due to move she advised she wasn’t able to get a deposit for her new property. We advised that you had a choice in either to gain possession of your property quickly then it might be in your best interest to release the deposit held on your property, to enable the tenants to move out. The other choice we gave was for you to start possession proceedings and regain possession of your property in 4-6 months time. As speed was of the essence, you chose the option of releasing the deposit, meaning the tenant vacated. Subsequently, the tenant has not left the property in the best condition and has taken an appliance. We are sorry that you feel this way but we felt it only fair to give you the options and advice on both scenarios and ultimately let you make the choice that would best suit your circumstances. We do not recall you advising at any point over the years of management that you were disappointed in our service. We do understand how disappointing it is to find the tenant left the property in such a condition.
