just wanted to write a few words about barnard marcus ( putney branch) as it may go some way to helping people who are considering using them. my property was on sale with them for 4 to 5 months & to say the left hand didnt know what the right hand was doing is an understatement. so much so that after 3 months of being with them their head office would call me and say was i still interested in my property up for sale with them 🤷‍♂️🙈.... i sold my property finally after using a far better agent ( funny that) and when i got back in contact with the solicitors ( recommended ) to me at the time by b.m ( cavendish).. they were equally as hapless as b.m. you live and learn and if this can be of any use to point people in the right direction of douglas & gordon & away from barnard marcus, it will be worthwhile.

Truly awful experience, wouldn't recommend!!

My experience with Barnard Marcus was atrocious from when we first moved into our flat (Feb 2020) all the way to now (January 22). When we moved into our flat, it was filthy and multiple things damaged, we raised this issue and nothing was done about it. Throughout our tenancy we had issues such as rat infestation and a broken fridge, amongst other things, I had to threaten to take money out of rent to pay for our new fridge. Since we moved out of the property in October 2021, we still haven't had our deposit back and they're trying to charge us for cleaning of the garden and flat. I have never had such a bad experience of an estate agents in my life and would never ever recommend them to anyone as they are inadequate and all about getting tenants in for the money.

Dealt with east sheen branch

Dealt with east sheen branch. Bunch of liars. You will notice that they dont put anything in an email. They will not response to your emails, they will call you instead. I guess it is easier to lie over the phone. They showed us a flat in Barnes that the seller / buyer about to exchange the contracts. We didnt know what was going on. We made an offer and they used our offer to force actual buyer to increase his. This might be legal but I dont think it is ethical. Very poor. Kevin

NEVER AGAIN! IM HURT

I’m currently private renting with Barnard Marcus and I honestly will NOT recommend it. They have put me through hell and back, lied to me on numerous occasions. It takes about 3 weeks for them to even get back to you regarding any issues you have. I just can’t explain the problems and pain they have put me through, it’s honestly so hurtful and I regret signing that contract. I’m just praying to God my 12 months agreement ends quickly so I can move far away from them. I’ve lost so much money and time dealing with Barnard Marcus, never again. I recommend everyone runs far away from them, just a hurtful situation to be in.

Fantastic service from wallington branch.

I cannot fault my experience. I have bought a property and subsequently sold a property with the wallington branch. I was so impressed with them whilst buying they were an obvious choice to sell it again. I felt looked after throughout the process and it felt very personal and friendly. Gemma, Alex and Katie (in sales progression) in particular have seriously looked after me and I am very thankful. There communication and professionalism cannot be faulted. I really enjoyed the process with them and I genuinely think without them the process would have been even longer, my solicitors were .... not fantastic and the team helped managed all parts of the chain making sure things were in order. If you want a friendly, personal, professional company I couldn't recommend them more highly.

I was interested in one of their properties for auction. I tried to get more info from them about problem areas, and they said they didnt have any more info/pics. Then I tried to register for the auction and had all kinds of trouble. They kept refusing for missing corners of ids, not clear enough utility bill, etc. Of course, I was already registered with them for the past 2 years but apparently they need to recheck things. Then they wanted me to have ~$10k+ in a uk bank account. Finally, they gave me one day to send them a ~$10k deposit via wire transfer to participate in the auction which I couldnt complete in that timeframe. Seeing all of these other bad reviews makes me glad I didnt get to participate in the auciton...

Dean provided great service, he was very polite and professional. He managed to help me rent a beautiful flat and also accommodated all my needs. Communication was very smooth and professional. I would definitely recommend Dean and Bernard Marcus letting agency.

Carolyne street has been amazing through out the buying process. She is knowledgeable , patient and from the select group of individuals who don't need to be chased for updates. Not only did she advise to wait for a better product-- she was transparent and was able to explain all of the process and steps in great detail. Always forthcoming and prompt with her responses, she was a joy to work with !!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

We previously had a bad experience with a different branch but I have to say the Epsom branch made me change my mind about the company. James, Tom and the rest of the team acted brilliantly, very professionally and always kept me up to speed with my sale and purchase. Fantastic service and I would definitely recommend them. P.S. Also Carolyne from sequence mortgage service is absolutely fantastic! Friendly, super efficient and always available.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

Unfortunately I didn't do my research

Unfortunately I didn't do my research. Extremely disappointed with the manager. Service and updates very bad. What a huge learning curve for me. As the saying goes "if I knew what I know now, I would never of gone with them..". I take responsibility for not doing my research.. Do not listen to the promises. At the end of the day find a company that knows your area well, has a track record, do your research. Do not just find someone on the internet, who tells you what you wanna hear.. Make sure their office is within walking distance if possible. Try and get a team that know what they are doing, are responsible and are honest. Just seems a massive scam.. Sooner we put property on the Blockchain, then we can all get away from estate agents, solicitors and ridiculous prices.

I honestly don't know why anyone would choose to use this Estate Agent!

In all honesty, the service from Barnard Marcus is non existent. They talk a good story. However, feedback and proactive communication in relation to your property viewings is non existent. In addition to spending unnecessary time sending emails that are not responded too, I have had the misfortune to have been in some form of contact with individuals who have failed on numerous occasions, to communicate with me, despite repeated requests and their commitments, which have included 2 Branch Managers, Sales Manager from the Chiswick W4 branch and a ‘Head Office contact. If there were prizes for the most ineffective individuals, I suggest you would all be in with an excellent chance of winning joint first prize.

NEVER AGAIN would we use Barnard Marcus Epsom

If we had to list our house again, we would stay VERY far away from Barnard Marcus. We found the sales person to be completely dishonest; telling us we had a "cash buyer" who did not need to sell their property. This was very far from the truth! In fact, our Buyer couldn't even come up a 5% deposit at Exchange and the sale dragged on for 6.5 months. Our advice - STAY AWAY!

Absolutely appalling service - do not engage unless you want to be harrassed!

Absolutely appalling service. An appropriate property was found quickly, however all services past that point have been shocking. No initial itinerary was done, concerns about the state of the property and some damages were not actioned appropriately or even comminicated with the landlord. The company was late transferring rent payments to the landlord and blamed us, the tennants, when we were in fact paying the rent early. When it came to moving out they used unethical methods of pressurising us into continuing tennancy through their company, threats regarding debt collectors for certain fees from the landlord, which they had no grounds to ask for. Threatened with council checks to see if we are still at the address, when the landlord had agreed to pospone our moving out date due to health issues. This was all because we had stayed a couple of weeks past our move out date and they demanded to be paid £1650 for renewing the contract, when in reality they were told multiple times we are not renewing a contract and we are moving out, however with a delay due to health issues. Absolutely shocking service which has provided both me and the landlord with so much stress!
