Ready to go to court as a result of Barnard Marcus auction where I bid on a property and seller didn't have the right to sell. They don't do due diligence on their sellers so now in a position I've paid £20k deposit with an agreed completion date where the seller can't even complete - thanks Barnard Marcus for doing your due diligence (there is a regulator in your line of biz and will be in touch with them) Liz George

Max Harffey was absolutely brilliant during my very challenging purchase of my apartment. He helped me every step of the way. Communicating with me all the time. Giving me support when I thought my home was lost. Fantastic and great outcome because of him.

TrustpilotI will never deal with this…
I will never deal with this agent(Barnard Marcus Chiswick)again and advise others to stay away from them. All they care about is taking their commission. If you have problems with your tenants, they are never there to help. They placed a terrible tenant in my flat who left it damaged and neglected the garden, causing complaints from neighbors. Whenever I tried to contact the office, there was no response. When I visited the office, I was told that the manager and staff were in meetings and had to wait for a long time, only to have my issues ignored.

Terrible communication. Gave keys to my house without notice, damaged the house despite my specific instructions. Team utterly clueless whenever I call. Avoid.

The whole point of an auction is the uncertain gamble of a bargain. I watched today for one hour and only half of the property’s where sold. The winning bidder had apparently not reached the target of what the seller wanted. The place I looked out for had a guide price of £130000.the winning bid of £170000 was apparently not enough, with no mention beforehand of any reserve.when i asked why putting in that case such low guide price i was told it was to encourage Interest.I can see why some people want a minimum price but then have the guts to tell us before.If this way of doing auctions isn’t challenged,in no time the vast majority will be like this?I can see how the auctioneers tell their clients;Put it in the auction,lots of people will look at it.and if you don’t get what you want,then we won’t sell to the bidder.

TrustpilotA cheating and dangerous auction agent
A cheating and dangerous auction agent. I bought a property in Blackpool in 2019. They advertised the property as a freehold worthed 10,000 at 75-77 Caunce Street, FY1 3NDI did not see legal pack properly and then ended up with the bills including their auctionee fee of 35,000 pounds.The nasty thing of the property I bought turned out a long leasehold 999 years and I have to pay rent, service charge etc and that is very surprising and dangerous .It caused and ruined my financial aspect and life. It took almost 4 years for years to repay the debt.I take them to the property authority but they did not do much. I intended to take them to the Court for misleading the public but have no money to pay legal fee.The authority should shut down this nasty auction agent. After you did so bad and dangerous things, karma will come back to you one day and let karma do all the work.

GoogleUnorganised and patronising property management team who don’t know anything about renters rights on which I had educate them. They are so condescending toward tenants and just completely unhelpful. The flat was provided in dire condition, dirt and dust everywhere, and hadn’t seen a lick of new paint in years. Avoid at all costs.

Check-out report was ridiculous, the agent just wanted all of Tenant's Deposit.

TrustpilotProfessional letting service with great customer service
I had some tenants do a runner on me in February 2024, and that was whilst they were in the care of one of London's top letting agencies. So, you can imagine I was not ready to hand my property over to another agency easily. Enter Lauren McDowell and Christopher Robson from Battersea Branch - a cool, calm and collected pair that swept me under their wing and very soon found me some replacement tenants - nicely vetted and decent! The whole process was stress-free, quick and professionally executed.Thanks, Lauren and Christopher! It is good to know that you are my go-to people throughout the letting process, not like some other letting agents, where every time you phone, someone else is dealing with your matter and does not have a clue. Look forward to a long mutually beneficial relationship!

TrustpilotWell above average service from Barnard Marcus
Recently enquired about a couple of properties and although not usually one for leaving a review, I felt compelled - the standard of care and professionalism was well above my usual experience of London estate agents (Imogen was fabulous)! Thank you.

GoogleVery happy with the service received from Jack and his team at Barnard Marcus Clapham who sold our apartment in Clapham North. Andrew and Tom were a pleasure to work with throughout the sale process, always keeping us fully informed in a professional and courteous manner and always highly responsive in answering any queries along the way. Would highly recommend if buying or selling in the Clapham area.

Wintana has been fantastic and very helpful with my property search! This was my first time purchasing a flat and she was very informative and knowledgeable about the property and explained whole purchasing process with great patience. I will definitely return back to the sales team when I want to sell my property. I highly recommend!

TrustpilotLack of respect with tenant
I've been a single tenant since October 2023 and I've raised 2 simple requests to the letting agency since then without any feedback or resolution up to this date. They haven't provided a second set of keys as I asked to have a spare in case I have family visiting or for any emergency. They also haven't provided me the landlord details as I need to apply for visitor parking though the council and I can't do it without the landlord's information. It's absolutely unbelievable no one can help me with this for 4 months and I have no hope they will.

TrustpilotHappy New Home …. NOT!!!
We helped move our son into a house managed by this crew… all smiles when they handed over the keys…. All downhill from there.1) toilet does not flush2) no heating3) disgusting mattress in one room 4) no hot water5) non- functioning shower but there is no hot water anyway.6) massive hole in wall behind washing machine So if you are a tenant be ware!!! And if you are a landlord…. Watch them like a hawk… your brand is being damaged.Get a grip people!!!

Kecia in the sales progression dept was amazing throughout my sale process. Even though I was not her client (I was 4 properties above her clients) she was the only agent in the chain who understood customer service and the importance of keeping everyone updated. Without her support my chain would 100% have fallen through. She is brilliant…. If you are her manager reading this she deserves a pay rise.

TrustpilotThey keep pestering me
I have told/wrote them 5+ times to stop calling and sending me emails but still keep pestering me. They are so desperate for revenues that they ignore all data protection and marketing regulations.

I have received multiple calls about a property that is nothing to do with me, and while I have asked them to delete my data from their system, they clearly have not as the calls keep coming. Very frustrating.
