Overall I wouldn’t recommend

As they are quite a well known agency I thought I would be getting good service, we were visited by the branch manager, who, as soon as he received my business- completely disappeared and never responded to anything. We had multiple offers accepted however buyers either weren’t informed correctly about our situation or they messed us around. When we finally progressed with our sale the progression team were terrible- never there, wouldn’t respond and wouldn’t update when they said they were going to. I also kept getting calls from their ‘customer service’ team who had no idea how to respond when I told them know angry I was. There was one amazing lady at the mitcham branch who was phenomenal the whole time- she was the only reason I never went insane. Overall I would not recommend Barnard Marcus.

When you try to buy your first property…

When you try to buy your first property the stress levels are so high, specially if you have been in this country only for 4 years however we were very lucky to come across Enrique Bosch. He was by our side throughout the whole process and explained everything step by step, always trying to find the best mortgage deal for us. We don't know if we would accomplish our dream without his support.! Thank you so much Enrique!

Looking for a new flat in the area is no small task yet Bernardo Reggi helped us from the very beginning and secured us our dream new home. The process was very smooth and we were updated all along the way. Couldn’t recommend enough!

We had a very positive experience with Barnard Marcus and with Stuart Bunce in particular. Our flat was on the market for 2 months with a different agency and as soon as Stuart was onboard, we had weekly viewings increase 10 fold and he got us the offer we’d been waiting for after only a few weeks. Stuart was really pro-active, kept us updated at all times and we trusted him 100%. We will definitely want to work with Stuart when the time comes on our next property.PositiveProfessionalism

Thank you Barnard Marcus for the excellent service. I was very fortunate to have Mr Stuart Bunce to assist me on the purchase of the Chiswick property. Stuart has been very professional, attentive to the buyer’s need, excellent in communication skills and very patient. Being a first time overseas investor, he has given me valuable guidance during the process (including selecting the solicitor and dealing with the broker). What I appreciate the most is Stuart‘s skill in negotiation and responsiveness. He helped me as a buyer to reach an ideal property price and along the way he provided me timely update. I would definitely recommend Barnard Marcus ( Stuart) service to people.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

What can I say about Barnard Marcus?

From making a call to the office and booking the valuation of our property, the service provided to us has been exemplary.A very professional young lady arrived to carry out the valuation and it was recommended to delay listing as we were very close to Christmas.This did not delay Barnard Marcus in arranging viewing appointments from the very next day.Two very able and competent young ladies were put in charge of selling our flat and there was no slacking in arranging appointment after appointment. As many as three on some Saturdays.One young lady moved on from the company, but Shahana stayed and continued doing her very best to get our property sold.We feel her selling skills were really put to the test with our home and she eventually found a buyer who was just right for it. We are pleased to have procured the services of Barnard Marcus to sell our home and particularly Shahana for her expertise and professionalism and would be more than happy to recommend their services to everyone selling their property.A big thank you to Barnard Marcus and a big thumbs up to Shahana for all her professional help and guidance during the processMassive thumbs up & well done to all

‘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.

Gissel has been amazing in helping me with my flat search. She seems to have my best interest at heart and has gone above and beyond in seeking out flats that meet my requirements and taking me to viewings. She is also one of the nicest agents I have ever met! She has always made me feel comfortable and treated me as a friend. I would definitely recommend Gissel and Barnard Marcus.

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. 👍👍👍

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.

Move-out was Nov 29th. One month later: No deposit, no communication. Way too slow. Unacceptable service.

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.

Worst renting experience

I had the worst renting experience in London with this agency. They asked us to move out of the property without providing the required two months’ notice. When we requested the notice, the branch manager Andreja refused. He also showed up at the property in an unfriendly and unprofessional manner. The property management team is also lack of communication.

Once again we have received a super professional yet very kind service from Alex Cumino at Barnard Marcus in Chiswick. Alex has been incredible with supporting us getting on to the property ladder years ago and finding us great mortgage deals ever since. He is a pleasure the work with, very diligent and fast to respond, always keen to look out for our interest by providing impartial advice.

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).

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.
