Priscilla Mohanarajah-Mortgage Advisor

Priscilla Mohanarajah is an exceptional mortgage advisor who delivers. I was advised to use Priscilla, and so broke my rule of always seeking three quotes. I am glad I did break the rule because from the start of the finish of getting the mortgage offer Priscilla has shown a strong awareness of lender requirements, timescales and strong points. She is responsive, hardworking, and experienced. She also has extensive contacts - not just in property sales but in other sectors too. If you are seeking someone to source your mortgage for you, then I can happily recommend that you use Priscilla Mohanarajah. Mr C, Wimbledon

‘The Barnard Marcus sales team were…

‘The Barnard Marcus sales team were extremely professional and did an absolutely fantastic job in selling my property. Not only that, they were able to get me over the asking price! A special thank you to Aaron, Evan, Ajay and Kecia who helped me throughout this process. The sales team were always able to help me when needed and they were very effective in their work. I would highly recommend using Barnard Marcus if you are looking to buy or sell a property. Thank you ever so much.

Tom and the team from the first contact acted professionally. They were always on hand to deal with any questions, however their approach to the sale was the best I have ever seen. I was particularly impressed with how they prepared the house for the sale, dealt with all the customers and they all delivered and followed through on their actions. The team are a credit to the company. I cannot recommend them enough to anybody who is considering selling their house.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Outstanding. We recently purchased our house through Barnard Marcus Epsom, who were the agents for the Seller and they were excellent start to finish. Ben, the selling agent was incredible - professional, knowledgable and super helpful. James and the team behind the scenes worked tirelessly throughout from offer to exchange - not just supporting us on the purchase but also ensuring the entire chain were progressing. I cannot recommend this team highly enough - when we eventually come to sell Barnard Marcus Epsom are the only people I want selling my home.PositiveProfessionalism

Positive experience

I have read all the bad reviews but have to say that this was not my experience. From the first viewing to the final exchange of contract, Jake was always helpful and friendly. Was always available, answered all my questions and dealt smoothly with any hiccups. I am very happy in my new home

I can't rate highly enough!

I can't rate Jamie and the team highly enough. They have been honest, helpful, professional and most of all did what they promised and sold my property for very near asking price. And within a week of going to market. My circumstances unfortunately changed and I had to pull out of the sale. I felt terrible about this but Jamie's reaction was very professional and understanding. I would definitely use them again in the future and would definitely recommend. 👍👍👍

Bad service from 2019 to 2021

From 2019:I had a terrible experience with this office.We found a beautiful flat that we ended up letting but the process was terrible.Kirsty was our "agent" but she pretty much ignore us the entire time.She was over an hour late to the viewing, no email, no phonecall, nothing. We were able to see the flat because the tenant at the time was nice enough to let us in. He also complain to us about her tendency to be late and never inform the visitors or himself.After we decided to get the flat, we went through a very difficult process because of lack of comunication. We didnt receive any information or support during this time, we ended up having to expend aditional money on the move because we had to organize the entire thing last minute. (We were pretty much told the day befoee we had to move and this was after weeks of ignored phonecalls and emails)All our emails requesting information and help were ignored, our calls were ignore too and the few times she answer her tone and treatment was rather rude.Even asking for a small change in our contract has been a difficult process!! Emails are totally ignore, i had to call four times to try to get someone on the phone just to be told to leave my information for them to call back (they did not)Basically, great properties but be prepare for a horrible costumer experience and indeference to any type of comunication or questions.Joshua was really nice and helpful though, sadly he wasnt the one helping us directly.For 2021:Its been over a year since the issue above and I am sad to say the one star still applies.We have a wonderful property and a great landlord but I am baffle by the lack of professionalism and support from banard Marcus, at least from the tenant side.Since November I have been chasing them to make an amendment to my contract. Kirsty avoided my emails and calls the same way she did last year so after a month I had to pretty much beg to be given someone else to help me take care of this.Joshua was very nice and polite and connect me with the person who should amend the contract, it’s been weeks and still nothing though. I was told that the contract was sent to the landlord but this doesn’t seams to be true and he says he didn’t received anything.I just lost a family member due to the pandemic, I just want to focus on my family but I can’t because the banard marcus team simple seems to refuse to fulfil their commitment and help fix something they should have done back in November when I first contact them.

Terrible service

Terrible service. Booked a viewing and was left waiting for 45 mins at reception. After many phonecalls to lettings- which rang out, I called sales who got in touch with Nick from Wellington who was the person I booked wifh. Then was told they forgot the viewing. The concierge showed us around the flat (reluctantly after much persuasion) and it had been left in a terrible state. Poo in the toilet, thick grease all over oven. It was also not even the same flat as in the photographs so our time was totally wasted.

very bad and unethical estate agent

If I can get a zero start, I will raise them. What I can say that is a very bad and unethical estate agent. As a customer to buy an auction, they advertised the property on behalf of their client 365 Asset Management was freehold but it turned out it is a very long leasehold. I still got a paper what they advitersed on their website. As a result, I have to pay rent and service charges and many problems surrounding this lease, causing me exceptional circumstances.I complaint to the Property Ombudsman and at least my matter and concerns have heard. Stay away this agent at all costs and do not go to their auction because they are a real cheating agent.

No idea whatsoever

I used the letting service in Clapham for seven years. I bitterly regret not changing in the first year. 1) The property management section was useless. There was no relationship with plumbers/electricians/other contractors. Only one quote was ever given unless I objected. If the same job had to be redone a few months later the same contractor would be used with no question of querying the quality of the first job. The property manager changed regularly - I communicated with 11 in the course of 7 years. Three months after they took over the flat they recommended replacing a 'broken' blind (it had got stuck) and changing two of the mattresses. The woman I spoke to had no idea that the flat was a new build with new furniture and fittings or even what condition it was in. 'Replace it' was always the answer. We had several leaks in the flat but no one ever telephoned or texted - an email would be sent with the message, 'How would you like us to proceed?' Urgency was an alien concept.When we finally took over the flat it was a mess, with several outstanding jobs to be done including the repair of the balcony doors, which had been an issue for over two years. It was sorted in two weeks. If there was a problem over a bank holiday weekend or Christmas there was never anyone to deal with it. Finally, the agency was unable to do an effective handover of the utilities when the tenants moved out. There were no meter readings and it took repeated emails to find out the names of the suppliers. They were uninterested in ensuring I got all four sets of keys back from the tenants. I gave up chasing them and changed the locks.2) The actual letting service was efficient in that we rarely had more than a few days between tenants but the information was dire. We were never advised what costs would be incurred. We had to fight for a rebate where we had been charged wrongly. Letting conversations hinged round how quickly they could do a deal which often meant they advised a reduction in rent which we didn't always agree with. We ended up securing less rent than other landlords in the same block who also had no problem with voids. One woman in the lettings office said she recommended a low rent because then the flat would be let before Christmas which was good for us and she would get a bonus.I've let a house and a flat with other companies and these are the worst agents I have ever encountered.

Having just completed on a property in Epsom, I would like to recommend the team at Barnard Marcus. The purchase was not a simple one and I felt that Dan and everyone involved were informed, helpful, and acted fairly for both buyer and seller in a professional and timely manner. The experience was genuinely a good one.

Awful experience so far selling my home. Complete lack of communication, always having to chase them up and rarely do they know or even interested in what is happening up and down the chain. Would not recommend them and would not sell my house with them again.

So just wanted to give a glowing review to the people in the Epsom Office of Bernard Marcus. Moving and renting can be an ordeal however Damon has managed to help us find the flat that we were looking for and then was really helpfull on the nitty gritty that sometimes can be labyrinthine. Damon was friendly and helpful. Also full marks for professionalism as well. During our renting experience we have been burned by other Estate Agents and people working there. So, dealing with people like Damon is a breath of fresh air.

A huge thank you to James Ryan and his team for finding me a buyer in a tough market. I was on the market with another estate agent who couldn't get me any viewings. James Ryan offered great advice and we sold within the next 4 weeks.PositiveQuality

The agency and Matt provided such professional service during multiple viewings and calls alongside Joe, a young talented agent who always was on top of his game and with excellent attitude. Even as I secured a property through another agency, receiving their follow up feedback and unsolicited positive reply was a real touch of professional courtesy and human kindness that speaks highly of their personal and business values. Highly recommended! Thank you!

Worst All round Service Ever Experience

We began the process of purchasing our first property in Aug. 2019. We were hesitant because of the unprofessional Barnard Marcus Estate Agent but prepared to look past this. Then the brand new property had a flood. The BM Estate Agent ensured that the necessary fixes will be made. We wanted to utilise the Help2Buy Scheme before it expired so we payed the £500 refundable reservation fee and the £650 to begin the Barnard Marcus buying process fee. A month later the leak wasn't sorted and we wanted to back out of this process as the Service provided by Barnard Marcus Epsom Branch was further declining! None of the surrounding properties were sold and the Estate Agent, was not responding to emails/calls. Then the Barnard Marcus Mortgage Broker resigned without notifying us and all of our records no longer existed! We contacted the CLC Lawyers, recommended by Barnard Marcus, who told us they couldn't assist us as are not purchasing the building. It is almost Feb 2020 and nothing is resolved, we haven't received our money back or even a returned phone call/email, we have been into the branch numerous times with no resolution. We feel robbed & scammed.

holding deposit taken before offer submission, property stayed advertised, deposit retained

The agent told us we had to pay a holding deposit before they would even submit our offer. We paid to proceed, yet the property was never taken off the market and continued to be advertised on Rightmove/Zoopla throughout (dated screenshots available).

Don't trust anyone from Barnard Marcus

Don't trust anyone from Barnard Marcus. What they say to you will be very different to the reality. They blamed the tenant (to the landlord concerned) for not giving access to the property for sales viewings; when the reality was their inability to find prospective buyers. They would ring the tenant again and again asking to view the property in 2 hours knowing that was usually unacceptable to most people. And when the tenant said come tomorrow and not in 2 hours, Barnard Marcus said no as there weren't any prospective buyers at all. Do not trust Barnard Marcus.

Chloe and Barnard Marcus

Chloe was incredibly responsive to texts and emails, staying in touch and tending to details throughout my rental process. She made what can be a difficult process much easier. Would highly recommend her services.

Absolutely Awful individuals

Absolutely Awful individuals. No communication re protocol re moving out no checkout/leaving report received. Nearly a month has passed and no word re the reimbursement of my deposit. Head office are absolutely useless Poppy A in Head Office is useless no response to emails. I’ve had to raise a complaint via the Tenancy Deposit Scheme to get my deposit back.

Absolutely Unprofessional

Absolutely Unprofessional! Would never recommend.We pulled out of a property due to it having mould, they offered to get some of it taken care of but not all. The property was not in good condition. Fire place broken, lights and curtains broken. No handover to inform us of any of this. Gave us keys before do an inventory check. We gave the keys right back after seeing the mould. Had already paid 5 weeks deposit and 1 months rent in full. Its been nearly 4 weeks without a refund. They have not responded to emails and never contact us, we have to call the office every time. Contacted TDS and was informed to get legal advise. The sad part is most of this could have been processed or received better by means of communication.The Agent was Nana AkotoI woulds advise not to use him or the branch in Elephant & Castle area
