TrustpilotReview for the Ealing Branch
Review for the Ealing BranchMany thanks to the Ealing branch for the purchase and letting of our flat in Ealing.Being overseas owners, our special thanks to Will Wigley for the purchase and Antony Wozniak for the letting.From the first time we reached out to Will for our interest in purchasing a flat he answered immediately and was very responsive by telephone contact and via email advising on available properties that met what we were looking lead finally to the purchase of our flat in Ealing. Professional and enthusiastic, dealing proactively with both the seller and the buyer actually helped in reaching to the exchange date.After completion on 15 November 2022 Antony and his team took over the letting process and to our amazement a tenant was found ready to move in by end of November. Although the first tenant declined at the last moment, another tenant was found immediately after who was arranged with contract signed to start 7 December 2022. It was our pleasure to deal with the Ealing branch and we recommend using and trusting this agency. Having bought through the Ealing branch and having let our property on Full Management scheme, we know that I would not hesitate to buy or sell through them in the future.Special thanks again to the Ealing branch teams

TrustpilotLetting agents are liars
Their letting agents are liars, they lied about the cleaning services and other fixations before move in, they kept pushing for deposits. They delayed all the documentation until the last minute, when I got the key and went to the apartment it stinked, it was dirty and windows were full of mold. Beaware of the letting agent in their finchley branches.

GoogleAvoid dealing with Mark Anderson - the sales manager (not sure how). Worst experience I have received when dealing with an estate agent. He was unable to get an above asking price offer on a property for sales accepted. He didn't update me for 3 weeks after the first offer was put forward. Then made excuses along the line. Currently I have gone above my first above asking price offer and still haven't heard back from him since over 2 weeks. At the point of giving up now so I thought I should let anyone else know when they are looking to sell their home.. you're better off going to any other agent on the highstreet.

TrustpilotVery good buying experience
The journey to found a flat to buy is quite difficult and the stress of being a first time buyer doesn't help.When we visited our flat for the first time with Bernard Marcus we had no special expectation about this agency and were prepared for a stressful few weeks.However we were lucky enough to deal with Will who, thanks to his enthusiasm and professionalism, made the process smoother and interactive.During the past few weeks, Will has been caring, present and proactive to make sure the sell would go through with less issues possible.I recommend using and trusting this agency and Will!

TrustpilotEvil company
Evil company. Nothing is good about them. When we moved in refrigerator broke down we let them know they didn't even answer. We had to buy new one. End of our contract they asked can you sell the refrigerator for a reasonable price we said ok, they never paid. End of our contract they raised %40 rent. We had to move out.They never came for inventory check and It took 5 months to get our deposit back. They never contacted us. Not even once. At least 20 times I contacted them but they just ignored. Which is deposit must be paid in ten days. 5 months without any single information. Everything I wrote here I can prove. I have kept every single message and email.

TrustpilotReally not happy with the service…
Really not happy with the service received from Trisha and her team in the Dorking branch. They made the experience of selling our home an unpleasant,stressful and ultimately unsuccessful. We were guilt tripped, bullied and told that we had wasted time and effort not agreeing to move with a weeks notice.The service promised at the first hard sell meeting never materialised and we were passed down to junior members of staff who didn’t have the experience needed to help us

TrustpilotReview of the Southfields branch
Review of the Southfields branch. 10/10 to Chris and his team. During a stressful transaction (stress caused entirely by the lawyers), Chris and his team always called me back, I felt confident that they were doing everything they could to get the purchase through by my deadline. It’s obvious that the Southfields office is a very cohesive team, who go over and above for both vendors and buyers. Having bought through them three times in two years, I know that I would not hesitate to buy or sell through them in the future.

TrustpilotMitcham's Barnard Marcus - Excellent!!! 5 stars
I was with the agency in Mitcham and cannot speak highly enough. Vezir was my point of call and he went way beyond to make sure my sale was as smooth as possible and was not delayed in anyway. Vezir definitely supported me throughout this process and made me feel that I always had someone in my corner. It did not feel at all that it was about their fees but definitely more of a human touch when getting the sale completed successfully. Eli supported me too towards the end and both kept in contact with both the buyer's solicitor and my own. I would definitely, no questions asked, use them again.A brilliant team to work with and and who will make sure the sale gets done.

TrustpilotIf there is someone you truly hate from…
If there is someone you truly hate from the bottom of your heart, recommend Barnard Marcus. And Ashleigh Fisher as the agent in charge of their case. The following happened during a 1-year lease (Sep-20 to Aug-21):1) No space heating and hot water for a month in peak winter. I've lived in London since Sep-2014, and heating issues have ordinarily been resolved quite quickly, usually within 24 hours as a matter of urgency. 2) There was unbearable drilling noise from 8 am to 4 pm Monday to Friday. As we work/study from home, we faced extreme difficulties talking calls, participating in virtual meetings, and had severe headaches. Furthermore, the construction told us that this will at least go on till March 2021, i.e. more than half our tenancy. We were not informed of the construction when we were shown the apartment, which would have led us to select a different apartment. 3) Fire alarms: The electrical chimney wasn't working in the kitchen, and the fire alarm kept going off when we cooked food. This was a health and safety hazard as there was no ventilation. 4) Bathroom door: The door of the bathroom was stuck and simply did not close. This issue happened after the heating stopped. Barnard Marcus took 6 months to get the door fixed. 6 months!!5) Work and study: My work suffered as I was unable to take client calls due to the noise. My flatmates' education also suffered as they were unable to participate in Zoom classes online. Barnard Marcus couldn't care less.

TrustpilotAwful experience, bunch of incompetents!
Our experience with the Muswell Hill branch of Barnard Marcus has been nothing short of frustrating. We were entirely let down by their unprofessionalism and incompetence, which contributed to the months-long delay of our purchase of a flat in Muswell Hill. Our offer had been accepted in December 2021, but months of chasing led to little progress. Eventually, with no realistic date in sight to exchange contracts, and an absence of even a minimum level of f-giving by the agency, we decided to pull out of the sale.Special mention goes to Raphael our agent, who reminded us time and again how hard he was working for us, even burning his long weekends for our great cause. So much so that he would neglect to give us any updates or ignore our emails for days, breaking the deep silence of his labour only when we chased him for the tenth time.We would also like to applaud Akill, the broker affiliated with Barnard Marcus, who “forgot” (he says) to submit our mortgage after the AIP, causing it to expire. This even though we had given him all the requested paperwork months ahead, and resubmitted them each time he asked us for them again. Eventually, he emailed saying matter-of-factly that the mortgage had lapsed, and sneakily wanted us to sign a different agreement with a higher interest rate, without first explaining the new deal. This included trying to mislead us that certain optional fees were mandatory. All this is incompetence at best, and deliberate fraud at worst.Finally when we informed them through our solicitor that we were withdrawing our bid, we did not receive even the basic courtesy of a reply. No love lost for us, by this time we really didn’t expect anything from them, but our sympathies go to the seller who we understood had signed the contract as early as Dec/Jan.It might well be that our experience with the entire team at Barnard Marcus Muswell Hill was rare, but we were deeply frustrated and disappointed by their inability to manage expectations and to take any ownership of the issues that arose due to their lack of professionalism. I would advise anyone to be very wary if Raphael or Akill were involved in your sale.

TrustpilotAVOID OR PAY THE PRICE
A bigger bunch of grifters you could not wish to meet. Do not trust them , do not even engage with this company. The customer service is non existent. They don't give you all the information you require, then charge exorbitant fees because you haven't had all the information! Avoid them like the plague and use a reputable company.....you have been warned

TrustpilotA big thank you to James and his team Barnard Marcus Epsom
James came to our house for a free valuation. He was friendly, professional, answered all our questions and really on the ball. We knew straightaway that our house was in good hands. We were offered in excess of the asking price which was excellent. James and his team work hard for it. Unfortunately, due to an unforeseen circumstance, we could not go forward with the sale. Again, speaking with James was so easy and truly showed his professionalism even though the sale did not take place. Would highly recommend James and his team at Epsom branch.Jason
