TrustpilotFirst time buyers such a wonderful experience
We first contacted Lucy with regards purchasing a property, Contact was exceptional and arranged things very swiftly. Moving in very soon and incredibly excited. Lucy was able to help guide and advise us along the way, a true testament and so wonderful to have someone so helpful. The process was less stressful than anticipated this was all success due to the continuous communication, time and effort put in by Lucy.

TrustpilotLarkfield branch
Andrew, Molly and the team have been brilliant throughout our time with them.We have sold our house twice throughout the Covid year and within 10 days both times. This was all due to their great dedication to sell our house from the moment the photos were taken, getting people through the door and updates after every viewing. I would recommend them 100%.

TrustpilotExcellent Service
Jeremy and the team at Simon Miller have done a fantastic job in selling our property. They marketed it really well, we had numerous viewings and sold very quickly. The team were friendly, professional and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending their services.

GooglePeriod Homes have been absolutely amazing from start to finish. We felt they understood 100% how to market our period home and both Jeremy and Brook (our main contacts) have been awesome. The service they provided, which included the whole team previewing our property before going on the market, was genius and ensured they could all relate to our property with potential clients. The perfect agents. Thank you so much for such a smooth journey xx

TrustpilotI write in behalf of my daughter who…
I write in behalf of my daughter who was letting through Simon Miller. They had to terminate their agreement early due to financial issues and agreement was reached with the landlord in this regard.However, they moved out just after lockdown commenced and were unable to remove their own fridge freezer that they had been using during their tenancy. Nothing they could do, just an unfortunate situation.They have offered to return to the property to remove it when lockdown is over, they have contacted the council who will charge £33 to collect from the front of the property.Despite this, Simon Miller want to charge her to return to the property to allow this to happen, even though they have little else to do during this current crisis, just trying to profit out of an unavoidable and unfortunate situation.Lyndsey in their lettings team has not seen sense or been reasonable in handling this matter and as a result their deposit remains un-returned despite them leaving the property over 3 weeks ago.They had to move out of the main bedroom at the property for the last 3 months of their tenancy due to roof damage, a water leak and resultant mould. No reduction in rent or any consideration to help, it took over a month for any work to commence, only constant calls eventually resulted in work being undertaken.My daughter has met all of her commitments, paid over the contracted amount for re-advertising costs to come out of their tenancy early (more profit to Simon Miller) and could not move the fridge freezer on the moving date due to the lockdown position.Seriously guys, practice what you preach, put ALL customers at the heart of what you do and drop the profit opportunity and get this matter resolved.
I'm sorry to hear the service provided from our Lettings team did not meet with your daughters approval on this occasion. I trust that the matter you refer to regarding the disposal of the fridge freezer was resolved to your satisfaction.

The conveyancing was spot on with continuous updates and communications. I would recommend Tony, Mollie and the team at Simon Miller to sell and would definitely use them again !! Thank you Simon Miller

TrustpilotThis is why people hate estate agents
This is why people hate estate agents. Put an offer in on a property to be told until we 1 - have our ID verified and 2 - speak to their mortgage advisors L&C they will not put our offer forward to the vendor!!! Firstly. We understand totally having ID checked however why did we need to speak to their mortgage team? Our offer wasn’t even put forward let alone accepted. We told them on several occasions we had our own mortgage advisor who has verified what we could borrow - they were not interested! We said we would get an AIP to prove it.. again not interested. Our offer wasn’t going anywhere until we had spoken to L&C! Sales targets.. all they cared about. What happened to customer service? As we loved the property I spoke to L&C and asked to be removed from all of their data... what happened today? I get sales emails from them. So they haven’t removed me. Disgusting service and totally understand how estate agents get a bad name. Have only used independent agents previously and they treat you like individuals. Simon Miller have a lot to learn! Wouldn’t go anywhere near them again!
I am sorry to hear that you were unhappy with the service relating to your offer. Conducting AML (Anti Money Laundering) checks on perspective purchasers is a legal requirement and and must be undertaken. In relation to your financial position we have a duty to care to clarify a purchasers ability to finance any purchase. I apologise if you were unhappy with the manner in which task was undertaken and your request to be removed from L&C's database should have been adhered to. If you would like to discuss your experience with a member of our senior management team, we would be happy to discuss the matter with you.

Thank you to all at Simon Miller, Larkfield.They did a great job of all stages of the process from the initial valuation, to the sale and chasing and updating on the solicitors antics. Made the whole thing all the more pleasurable. Couldn't be happier with the service and would highly recommend to Queen and Country! Andrew and his team are friendly and professional.

TrustpilotSimon Miller in Larkfield
Simon Miller in Larkfield are superstars. With a problematic purchase and many delays the staff were amazing. Andrew kept in constant contact and pushed to get our purchase completed. Helpful, friendly and willing to go the extra mile to get your sale or purchase completed with as little hassle as possible. We just wish we had sold our property through them as well

TrustpilotI would like to say a big thank you to…the Barming office!!!
I would like to say a big thank you to everyone at the Barming office especially to Greg and Isabella who were very helpful and I don't think I could have got through my house sale without them. It looked like that our house sale might fall through but with the help of the Barming office they made sure it didn't. They kept me in the loop at all times and kept everyone in our chain upto date and communicated clearly to everyone. I would definitely recommend the Barming office as they were professional at all times, and go above and beyond to help you. Thank you again to everyone in the office for all your help!!
I'm delighted to hear that Greg and his team worked hard to ensure you were well informed throughout the sales process and their efforts greatly contributed towards a successful outcome. On behalf of the Barming team, I would like to thank you for leaving such a positive review and wish you all the best for the future.

TrustpilotBarming branch were dissapointing
I used Simon Miller Barming as I had met a previous manager when I viewed a house a few years ago, unfortunately this manager had since left, but I thought I would give them a go. To get my business they were very accommodating and friendly, but when viewing started coming in, they were less attentive. I had to phone them back after a viewing to get feedback and seemed surprised when I phoned them. And when they got formal feedback they put it on the 'system' they have before telling you. It seems very inpersonal.One of the agents (who hadn't seen my house before doing a viewing) turned up at the same time as the viewer, meaning that he had no prior knowledge of my house before showing someone round. It felt very unprofessional.Several times I asked what action was being taken to find buyers, and I was told mail outs and call out where being down and I would receive feedback for these. I never received feedback.When I decided to leave an go back to my original agent, I received no response to my email asking for my property to be removed, it was simply taken down. After two further emails requesting for my keys to be delivered back to me, neither of which was responded to, my other half had to collect them.I had recommend SM to my sister and because of her location, she got the Maidstone branch which she would recommend, but it seemed that I lucked out.Overall very disappointed and wouldn't recommend.
I'm sorry to hear that your experience with our Barming office was less that satisfactory. I have considered the content of your review and will certainly address the points you raise. Please be assured that our company prides itself on delivering high levels of service to our clients but on this occasion it would seem apparent that we have not delivered .

TrustpilotExcellent, professional, friendly and customer focussed
We have just purchased our home through Simon Miller (Headcorn Office). They have been very helpful and have kept us posted throughout this process. They were very easy to contact and would always return your call as soon as possible. They were very professional, courteous with the human touch using our Christian names and we're always well informed about who we were. Special recognition must go to Jeremy Bancroft, Branch Manager. He showed great concern and was brilliant when things got a little stressful; he was definitely that friendly voice on the phone. I would definitely recommend this very professional, courteous and friendly estate agent.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a positive review about Jeremy and the Headcorn team. Jeremy prides himself on delivering the best service possible so it's especially nice to hear from people who appreciate service. I hope you will be very happy in your new home.

TrustpilotProfessional, Personal, Hard Working sales Team!!
Our first time selling a house so was optimistic as to what to expect from an Estate Agent, our first contact was with Simon Miller, Andrew arrived with an impeccable presentation in himself and indeed an Ambassador forSimon Miller. We Felt in very capable and professional hands from the onset. We obviously signed happily with them. Followed by the full Compliment of staff at the Larkfield Branch visiting Our home just as buyers Might we felt important By them all. They now having an Insight of our home could explain andChoose the Right possible client. Our home had viewings from the next day and on the 15th day an offer was received!!! The attention we received all through and continue to is second to None. We will always speak highly of Simon Miller Estate Agents, Andrew, Simon, Georgia, Dan you have been amazing thank you!! What a great team you are.
Making a good first impressions is essential in my opinion. It makes perfect sense that the sales team visit all our properties when they first come to the market as it allows them to speak confidently and enthusiastically to prospective buyers. I understand we secured you a buyer quickly but clearly the job wasn't done until exchange of contracts took place. I'm delighted you were happy with the service provided and the whole Larkfield team will be grateful that you took the time to write such a positive review.

TrustpilotA pleasure to deal with when buying or selling
I bought my house through the Bearsted office of Simon Miller in 2015 and found all staff members to be so helpful, informative and available. I had a complex chain but, of all of the agents involved, this office were those that knew what was going on and did all they could to assist and progress the chain.Due to a change in my circumstances i have since sold my property in the summer of 2017, and had no hesitation in asking Simon Miller, Bearsted, to help me.Throughout the process I dealt with both Lucy and Richard frequently, both were so helpful. My property was marketed very rapidly with a large number of viewings arranged over the first weekend it was on the market.Lucy spent pretty much that whole first Saturday at my house showing prospective purchasers around, and as a result I had 5 offers over the course of the next few days.They then helped to manage the process through to satisfactory completion.I would not hesitate to recommend selling your house through Simon Miller Bearsted. Richard and Lucy have been fantastic and operate as you always hope a credible estate agent should - the difference being they actually do.
Both Richard and Lucy are delighted that you took the time to leave them such a positive review especially as it has been a while since you purchased your property through us. Our Bearsted office continues to deliver exceptional levels of service and this is apparent when you consider the high volume of 5 star reviews received. I hope you will contact us in the future should you consider moving again.

TrustpilotI am very pleased that Richard …
I am very pleased that Richard persuaded me to sell with Simon Miller, originally I had cancelled his appointment after having several other agents round, but it was refreshing to meet someone who actually cared if they sold your house or not. The service that I have received was excellent and the whole team were professional and friendly at all times, nothing was too much trouble. My house was sold within weeks of going on the market and although my chain turned out to be a lengthy and problematic one at times, throughout the while process I was updated regularly by Lucy, she worked so hard chasing up solicitors and nothing was too much trouble for her at all. I was so impressed by this young lady (and Richard!) I would definitely recommend Simon Miller.
I am pleased you agreed to meet with Richard and allowed us to market your property. Thankfully it would seem that you made the right decision by instructing Simon Miller & Company as your agent of choice. Richard and the team provide excellent levels service and I am grateful to you for acknowledging their efforts. Sometimes the sales process can be problematic but being regularly updated can help greatly. I am sure Richard and Lucy will be delighted to see your positive review.
