GoogleVery poor letting team. Substandard repairs on any work needed. Bathroom and toilet left in a condition that was affecting my young daughter’s health. Frightened to complain in case I got another section 21 notice or other aggressive tactics so forced to move at considerable cost to myself. I've now left the property for 6 days and not had confirmation of security deposit return. People not returning calls due to “it issues” no management available to talk to. I would suggest using another agency. Further to this I have just received a response from the manager here denying I complained about the property condition. The Managing director hasn’t even acknowledged my email to him. Please avoid at all costs

GoogleWould not recommend as I had to do a lot of chasing myself for the sale of my property to go through. Was not the best experience.
I should add that I was initially lied to by the director who stated that we were only able to sell solely through them and not through any other estate agents-he took advantage of the fact that we were in a rush to put our property on the market.
We were further mislead to believe that there were more staff available to push the sale through quickly-again this was not the case.
I was advised to advertise my house much lower than what it was valued at to attract buyers and through an open house and to get them bidding- I accepted a much lower offer to the value of the property as the buyer was ready to move in quickly.
The sales progressor was nowhere to be seen towards the final stages. Due to the fact that my solicitors were great I dealt with them directly to agree exchange and completion.
Miles & Barr also put up a lot of resistance when I wanted to put my property back on the market, as I felt the sale wasn't progressing as quickly at one point, and wanted to achieve a price closer to its valuation. All they were interested in was getting their fee as soon as possible.

Hello,
Thank you for your feedback. At Miles and Barr, we always aim to provide a smooth and professional experience for all our clients.
We have carefully reviewed the details of your sale, and we are confident that we acted in line with our commitment to fairness, transparency, and efficiency. Throughout the process, we worked diligently to achieve the best possible outcome for you, and we are proud of the progress made within a challenging market. Within just 11 days of marketing, we were able to secure multiple offers. The offer you accepted was significantly above the asking price, which we believe reflects the efforts and dedication of our team in achieving a favourable outcome for you.
Regarding the additional matter that was raised during your experience with us, after thorough investigation, we were unable to accommodate the request in question as it did not align with our professional obligations. We understand this may have been disappointing, but we remain committed to upholding our ethical standards.
We regret that your experience did not fully meet your expectations and appreciate the opportunity to have worked with you. We wish you all the best for the future.
Kind regards,
Miles and Barr

Sam and his team are highly knowledgeable about the local market and throughout the selling process made sure we always felt like a priority. Diolch yn fawr iawn!

TrustpilotDATA BREACH & INCORRECT INFO
I keep being contacted in relation to a property I have not been on the tenancy agreement for since Nov 2023. Despite being told it was an error on previous occasions and records would be updated...the last communications (after I responded to an email) advised I was still on said tenancy and it would be looked into. I forwarded proof of my release from the tenany and have been advised ''we'll look to get you removed'' this has been over a week and communications have been lacking and I am completely in limbo with what's going on. This is also a blatant GDPR breach.

GoogleVery poor experince. Viewing was OK with a friendly chap, but once an offer was accepted you get hounded by them for what they need. Ask a question of them though and you get zero response. Got to the point I emailed their directors asking they get someone to respond, guess what, no response. I was questioning the lease on an apartment where they said it was a share of the freehold, ended up pulling out of the purchase, then when re-advertised it was no longer share of the freehold but leasehold. Don't know what they're doing? Directors don't respond so this filters down? Would buy in Folkestone again but not through them if they were the agent.
