I don't even know where to begin this…

I don't even know where to begin this is the worst agency i never seen in my life. The lady called mouna that works in Finchley branch showed use a house in 8 Darcy close N20 we put an offer and the landlord accepted the offer. after 1 months of waiting for them to do the reference we received a call from somebody else in the office telling us the landlord have given the house to his brother which is the lie and mouna she did not have the audacity to tell us what is going on but she sent her colleague to do her dirty work. I now contact another agency that's is advertising the same property and the agency gave me the landlord number. I called the landlord and the landlord told me the same agency Bernard Marcus found somebody for the asking price. What makes me angry is this particular agency took our deposit wasted our time for one month and end of the day they didn't give us a chance to know whether we want to increase our offer or not. Please people don't deal with this agency called BERNARD MARCUS because it's going to be a waste of time. Lucky for us we found a honest guy his name is David that works for SQUARE ESTATES very professional once the landlord accepts our offer everything went fine within one week our reference came out and now we have moved into the property without any problem thank you David for everything. Please people if you want to rent a place contact David he works for SQUARE ESTATES in Finchley.

Just answer the question!

Despite repeated requests to send me the lease to review (potential leasehold flat purchase) I was just met with silly questions culminating in "which section of the lease would you like to see?". How am I supposed to know what sections there are if I don't have the document? It's no good telling me the service charge pays for the gardener etc. I want to see the legal clauses so I can understand what recourse I have if they don't keep up their end. Why would anyone consider making an offer without having this knowledge? First time considering leasehold, my last email asked for the full document or an admission they don't have it. Silence. Clearly not that interested in selling their client's properties (Epsom branch). Quite stunning.

Appalling! Avoid their customer service is shocking! Avoid especially Ben Almon who should be in the circus instead!

My experience has been appalling. This could be because of Ben Albon who’s not fit for the job. I regret doing any type of business with this agency. He should find alternative employment as the circus is where he belongs. I hope they release me from my contract. I can’t stand how he operates. I always keep my business relationships but I can’t stand this unprofessional man child. Any professional will let me out of my contract if a customer is unhappy but this Napoleon figure is keeping me tied in. I hope someone senior steps in as he is not fit for purpose. He has no customer service skills and I believe is actually working against me during the process.

Unprofessional and expensive

I rented a place with them in 2017 and was first happy with the service the agent provided when looking for flats. There were several things I did not like at the beginning, e.g. they promised a professionally cleaned flat (which was not the case - there were cat hairs everywhere from the previous tenant).Worst of all: I think their fees are too high: £210 tenancy agreement, £120 reference charge and inventory check £180 - thats a total of over £500 - for what exactly?If I had extended my rental contract, they would have charged another £150 contract extension fee - for re-printing the contract.I would avoid them by all means!

What a truly horrendous site to use

The website for this company is just terrible to and try and get any information from, a lot of the things such a legal packs for auctions seem hidden (I had to email to ask for a link to find it). Then you had to make yet another online account to access the pack but once that was made the site just kept saying all the login details were incorrect despite me making the account less that 30 seconds and all long in and confirmation emails coming through to my email fine. Suffocate to say I have moved on from this property and will not be looking at anything else by this provider.

Fantastic Service from Demi at Chiswick branch

Demi at the Chiswick office was enthusiastic, obliging and went out of her way to get this deal done. This was a probate sale and there were various "hiccups" along the way. Demi chased outside contractors, liaised between parties, negotiated and pushed the deal to a successful and early completion. And all with a cheerful smile and boundless energy. Thank you Demi so much!

The real extra mile

Billie from the Surbiton branch has been absolutely amazing. Although we unfortunately lost out on a flat at the beginning of our search, Billie persevered and found us a match, even though we had given up hope :-) Friendly, professional, the communication throughout the renting process was faultless. Thank you Billie, I can highly recommend you!

Priscilla Mohanarajah, Mortgage Advisor.

Priscilla from Barnard Marcus has been a real angel. She was amazing during the process of finding the right mortgage. Her professionalism and friendly approach have made a real difference, to secure the best deal. But she didn't stop there. She supported and helped us even after she did her part. It's a rare thing to find someone who is highly professional and has empathy as well. Thank you Priscilla.

Terrible service.

Terrible service. Lied about my buyer being a first time buyer, he was in fact selling his own property and I accepted a lower price on the basis that it should’ve been a quick sale but 5 months later I don’t have a completion date and my buyer’s buyer threatening to pull out. The conveyancer they recommended (Taylor Rose) are shockingly bad. Slow, do not chase or keep you in the loop at all and either Barnard Marcus or the conveyancer they recommended breached GDPR legislation by passing my email address on to my buyer without my permission. Update: I have now completed and not heard from Barnard Marcus at all since exchanging contracts 2 weeks ago. I ended up contacting the buyer directly on completion day and handing over the keys myself!

Had the pleasure of dealing with one of the sales negotiators at the Putney branch by the name of Karim. Great chap who took me around to properties and went that extra mile. Didn’t find the home I was looking for but was great to see the high standard set by himself and Barnard Marcus. Cant recommend enough for my fellow first time buyers!

DON'T USE THEM!They misled me and continued to show…

They misled me and continued to show the property without telling me if I needed to offer more. They will sell only if you take the loan from them and use their solicitors etc. DO NOT TRUST THEM AT ALL! this agency should be banned -

Unlawful Actions Resulting in Financial Loss

The worst experience I have ever had with a letting agent. A case for small claims court but the entire experience has been so exhausting I just want to close the chapter and be done with it.

Having seen several properties with other estate agents, we found Barnard Marcus’ process much smoother and uncomplicated. Radhika was friendly, dedicated and very efficient. As first time buyers, she guided us through the process which we very much appreciated.

Excellent service

Barnard Marcus Ealing sold my flat when it was difficult to sell flats in London. Kelly was excellent and moved things on when they got stuck and needed a nudge! Imogen was also very helpful, and charming. I would highly recommend them!

shocking service, more interested to sign you up for a mortgage than book you in for a property visit

I recently contacted the London Muswell Hill branch about visiting a property to buy. Harry in question was more interested for me to see their mortgage broker, he prioritised this over the visit of the flat. I never got an appointment to visit it and since their broker was hassling me I declined any dealing with them. Extremely off putting and work ethic questionable. If you are a seller run away as their priority is not to sell properties but sign you up with their broker. Shocking behaviour.

Many thanks to the team at Barnard…

Many thanks to the team at Barnard Marcus in Muswell Hill! Leon and Marinos were great from beginning to end of our house sale. Moving house can be such a stressful experience and Barnard Marcus really did take some of the worry and stress away. They always had time to answer any questions we had. They are friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Five stars all around! Thanks
