About time Property management did what…

About time Property management did what they are paid to do! if you have people fighting, dealing drugs and disrupting other residents Causing one of your tenants to end up on medical treatment. you should sort it out and not just turn a blind eye and do nothing as word does get around by social media...

I have let my property through this company for the past 12 months upon checkout which I have to pay for my property has been left in a diabolical state. Yet they have continued to do viewings and wondered why nobody has taken the property. I have not had a chance to go to the property I had not had a chance to see my property and when I did go in I was shocked. The property has been left filthy and in total disarray. They have photographs of which they took when letting the property. And yet the property now doesn't look anything like that and it is also filthy. I have rang the company email them and I was hoping to have this situation resolved, bearing in mind I am paying this company two to "manage my property" I use the term loosely. I am 100% convinced that this company will not resolve these issues and that I will end up having to pay for the reparation of my house. This is caused me an enormous amount of upset and misery because my house was beautiful when I let it. I would never recommend anyone to let their property through this company. If this is there standard of care to their clients I am shocked and very upset. This is supposedly after I contacted them to let them know that all the things needed to be resolved by the tenant, because this is how the tenant left it. Comparing to the original photographs it is beyond a joke. Unless the checkout team go in blindfolded I cannot believe my property has been left like this and they think it's ready for letting!!! Beyond a joke

Shannon Faulkner is our contact point and again, very helpful, professional and encouraging. A great experience so far.

Miles & Barr, Herne Bay Office

So far, my dealings with M & B have been viewing the properties only (and are ongoing), and I have to say that Agent Maddie has been wonderful; Personable, Professional and Communicative. Anytime I needed extra info, she went above and beyond. My one dealing with Olivia was good, too.

A very unprofessional, uncaring company. I would not recommend to anybody.

I have rented my house out with full management service for the past year.Upon checkout they sent me an itinerary of things that were required to be done. I told him exactly what needed to be done by the tenant and what I would do. In regards to the tenant the place is left filthy, damage to doors, damage to floors, rubbish left in property, garden left unsightly, items left in property, furniture in every room, moved and not put back. The place generally looks horrendous. It was like a show home when it was let out. Of which miles and bar took photographs. I told them all these issues had to be resolved through the tenant. But no they're asking me to pay up front for all the damages and then they may be able to get money back from tenant. Even though I'm pretty sure they have already released deposit. I have emailed, telephoned, but there is no resolution. As a company they do not care. This is caused me such an incredible amount of stress. This is called me an incredible amount of upset. I also told them to not do any more viewings because I did not want anyone seeing my property in such a state. And yet again they have ignored me and continued with viewings.Obviously no one has taken the property due to the issues.These are a very untrustworthy company and I'm extremely upset about the situation. I doubt whether they will resolve it at all. I know I will end up having to do all the work myself.

Zoe Bartlett, a well of information...

I would thoroughly recommend Zoe Bartlett. She was thoroughly professional and made us feel at ease during the visit with her friendly manner. She was able to answer all our questions about the property and surrounding area. We left feeling that we were well received, we had all the information we needed and what we needed to do to go forward from there.

What a miserable experience…

What a miserable experience the last few months have been. Issues ignored or I am told to try to manage it on my own. I feel so unsupported. Speculating that landlords love them because they never share the issues with them... I don't know how they manage to get the houses when they manage them so poorly.

Top-tier

The service we recieved from Miles & Barr during a very busy time for lettings was top-tier. Kerrie was quick to put our application forward to the landlord and communicated excellently. Jessica (who showed us around the property) was friendly and knowledgable about the area and the property itself. We look forward to proceeding and becoming a tenant with them.

I had my property valued by Alex Munn from the Herne Bay branch. I was incredibly impressed with his manner, his extensive preparation and the way he represents the company so confidently.I have no doubts at all that when marketing my property it will be with Miles and Barr. No other agents have ever shown any where near the level of preparation- Alex had information around similar properties and trends - I am so very impressed with this and with his professionalism and excellent communication.

An Excellent and Professional Service

When I arrived at the property, Max Squires was waiting for me to arrive. His prompt arrival and calm approach immediately put me at ease. His approach was helpful, he answered questions fully and he gave me the space I needed to view without being pushy or intrusive.

Fantastic Support from Jenny Harmes

We received excellent support from Jenny Harmes in finding our new home. We were feeling disappointed when an original letting agreement fell through, and Jenny went above and beyond to negotiate with a different landlord in order to secure a house that we are extremely excited to move into. We cannot thank her enough for her help!

Miles and Barr were an efficient company for the purchase of my property. I was a bit disappointed to have to pay for my identity checks and not have any option but to do that, other services I used just swallowed that cost themselves.I was assigned a wonderful Sales Advisor, Shelley Webster, who updated me regularly on the process, answered any questions needed and called me to discuss any of my worries which was so reassuring. She was so supportive and made the process so much easier. She is a real asset to the company and made everything much less stressful!

We sold the house so I'm happy

We sold our house through Miles & Barr, Ramsgate. Initial impressions were great at the valuation. Once the property was listed I did feel I had to correct a lot of details in the description & push for changes to photo order and wording to help generate some interest, as everything had gone quiet. Happily we did get an acceptable offer and after that we were kept updated by the Senior Sales Progressor, Becky White, who I thought was fantastic, especially in the last push to get everyone in the chain ready for exchange - not sure we could have done it so quickly without her! Thanks!

Louise Daly

Thank you, Louise! Your gentle and effective guidance has been fundamental in my reaching and crossing the many milestones of scary first time buyership! Without Louise’s cheerful reassurance and depth of knowledge to guide me through each step, I would have succumbed to decision-making paralysis and declared it all too stressful. But always I was able to find guidance from Louise, restore my confidence and keep on going. I enjoyed and benefited greatly from Louise’s honesty and genuine caring nature. I’ll be ever appreciative that in Louise I had a Sales Progressor I could trust implicitly. Thanks again Louise, it’s been a pleasure working with you!

Exceptional Support for a First-Time Buyer!

I recently purchased my first home through Miles and Barr, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the outstanding service provided by their team. From the initial stages to the final closing, the staff at Miles and Barr went above and beyond to make the entire process smooth and stress-free.As a first-time buyer, I had many questions and concerns, and the team at Miles and Barr were incredibly patient and friendly. They took the time to explain each step of the process, ensuring I felt comfortable and informed throughout. Their expertise and guidance were invaluable, and I truly felt like they had my best interests at heart.What stood out the most was the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. They were always approachable, ready to address any queries promptly, and went the extra mile to keep the transaction moving forward. Buying a home can be a daunting experience, but Miles and Barr turned it into a positive journey for me.I highly recommend Miles and Barr to anyone in search of a reliable and supportive estate agent. Their commitment to customer satisfaction, combined with a genuine friendliness, makes them an excellent choice, especially for first-time buyers like myself. Thank you, Miles and Barr, for making my home-buying experience a truly enjoyable one!

Helpful Service.

The selling process can be long and stressful at times but it was good to have an agent who was switched on and involved in the whole chain feeding information along and reassuring me at the most crucial time.Lisa Cook offered professional and friendly support at a crucial point of my sale and purchase.Moving can be challenging but if you have the support and up to date information regarding your chain the process can proceed in a better way for everyone. Thank you !

What went right?

What went wrong? Everything. What a shoddy and Ill-managed company for rentals.. terrible communication from "experienced" agents with almost zero ability to manage properties properly.If anyone is reading this from the Dover area - avoid.Unable to take over management of my own property within a timely manner as the information that was asked for, which was sent multiple times was apparently incorrect. With absolutely no communication as to what about it was incorrect. Turns out, after speaking with three more agents, it was a number that was already on the page that was missing? It's a "if you don't laugh you'll cry" kind of situation. I will never use miles and Barr for any of my future rental properties ever again.

Anna was great throughout the whole process. My partner and I were looking for our first home together and we’re moving out from our parents’ home and she was so patient and understanding. Molly was also great and explained everything fully without being patronising. We’re so grateful for both of them.
