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.

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

Disappointing

Engaged the services of the Folkestone branch, initially to sell my property and then to let it. Communication was zero, the sales team never called me once!!! Lettings were not much better, never informed me as to cancellations or viewings.Very disappointing, Estate Agents do not generally have a good reputation and the lack of customer service I received vindicates this.Christine

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.

Miles & Barr - Herne Bay

Appreciate it’s not a sellers market at the moment. My initial impression was great, however since signing contract with M&B, paying out for marketing/photos, energy certificate, ID check and instructing solicitors (all approx £500 up-front) to sell my property - I’ve heard absolutely nothing from them in 3 months. No idea if they are proactively engaged in selling my property or just expecting Rightmove marketing to move this forward. Disappointed no-one has contacted to advise or give any updates - communication is non existent. I had such high hopes … I’ve now given them notice so I can engage with a smaller estate agent with great reviews, who I believe will work with me and move my property forward

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.

Absolutely outstanding estate agents

We’ve had fantastic service from Miles and Barr from start to finish. We initially were going to sell with a smaller firm but the valuer Jack really impressed us with what Miles and Barr had to offer. His excellent communication skills and consistent (but not pushy) approach sealed the deal and we are so grateful to him and the rest of the Miles and a Barr team as they sold our house very fast which put us in a great position when finding our dream home. Everyone we interacted with was professional, friendly and helpful (Rebecca, Harry, Hannah, Chelsea, James to name a few). They promised they’d help us find a property we loved within our budget and they certainly did! James the Ramsgate branch manager is brilliant at what he does and he was instrumental in our move to our dream home, thank you James! I’d 100% recommend using the solicitors and mortgage advisor they recommend too as everything was so smooth. Aggi the mortgage advisor worked so hard to secure us a good deal and when there were delays with the mortgage company Sam kept me sane with his reassurance and updates and Gary sorted out new home insurance on the day of his own house move! Nothing was too much trouble for any person we spoke to, even on the day of completion we had issues with our removal company and Miles and Barr stepped in with reassurance and offers of solutions! Absolutely outstanding estate agents whom we feel are game changers in the field. They’re efficient, reliable and their customer service is fantastic. We are so grateful to Miles and Barr for going the extra mile and helping us take the leap into our wonderful forever home, thank you Ramsgate branch and team, you’re all brilliant 🤩

Professional 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.

A 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.

Can'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

I purchased through Miles & Barr

I purchased through Miles & Barr, no problem through the purchase process, it was a relatively straight forward purchase, I looked at a couple of properties with them and one young man from the Ramsgate Branch was particularly pushy about getting a mortgage with their own mortgage advisor when I already had one in place, when I spoke to their advisor he said nothing I can do, you are sorted out. Apart from that, people working there was all approachable and fine. Trying to get them to take the "For Sale" sign down after purchase was painful, they use a 3rd party! I don't care who you use, get it down!

Thank you Miles and Barr, Folkestone

I am very happy with the service that Miles and Barr provided. The whole process of selling the property went very smoothly. The staff dealing with the sale were professional, approachable and efficient, keeping me updated on developments in the process.My initial contact was Sam Fogarty who impressed me with his knowledge and enthusiasm and whose advice I welcomed. My subsequent contacts with Katie Powell and Abygail Kidd-Scott were also very positive. I hope I haven't missed anyone, but if I have, I can only reiterate that I have been most impressed by the team and am grateful to them for bringing the house sale to a successful conclusion.

Property 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...

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 :)

Great service from Miles & Barr Ramsgate

We used Miles & Barr Ramsgate for the selling of our old house and the buying of the new one. Our Sales Progressor Becky White was fantastic. She always kept us updated, was assisting us when we wasn't sure of the next steps and even checked her emails for us on her day off because she knew it was our exchange date and she wanted to ensure it went through Ok! she always called us or emailed us back and was really caring about the progression of our chain. The mortgage advisor Aggi from the Ramsgate branch was also really helpful, knowledgeable and great to get along with!Charisma & Simon

Shocking 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.

Golden Team

From start to finish on purchasingbour Bungalow Miles & Barr were exceptional, we had the added problem of purchasing as the pandemic started, then going into full lock down, we was assigned Lisa Rice at M&B and she was amazing, she kept us well informed answered any emails promptly and even when we lost our buyers at the last hurdle she was calm and patient, thankfully new buyers were going quickly and sale and purchase all done very quickly. I would highly recommend M&B Herne Bay to anyone. All I can say is Thank you M&B and especially Lisa you have helped complete our dream home.
