Fantastic service from wallington branch.

I cannot fault my experience. I have bought a property and subsequently sold a property with the wallington branch. I was so impressed with them whilst buying they were an obvious choice to sell it again. I felt looked after throughout the process and it felt very personal and friendly. Gemma, Alex and Katie (in sales progression) in particular have seriously looked after me and I am very thankful. There communication and professionalism cannot be faulted. I really enjoyed the process with them and I genuinely think without them the process would have been even longer, my solicitors were .... not fantastic and the team helped managed all parts of the chain making sure things were in order. If you want a friendly, personal, professional company I couldn't recommend them more highly.

I was interested in one of their auctions…

I was interested in one of their properties for auction. I tried to get more info from them about problem areas, and they said they didnt have any more info/pics. Then I tried to register for the auction and had all kinds of trouble. They kept refusing for missing corners of ids, not clear enough utility bill, etc. Of course, I was already registered with them for the past 2 years but apparently they need to recheck things. Then they wanted me to have ~$10k+ in a uk bank account. Finally, they gave me one day to send them a ~$10k deposit via wire transfer to participate in the auction which I couldnt complete in that timeframe. Seeing all of these other bad reviews makes me glad I didnt get to participate in the auciton...

AWFUL - AVOID AVOID AVOID SANDERSTEAD BRANCH

I usually don't look at reviews when completing things and didn't even think to consider checking what the estate agent reviews would be like, now reading through them its no surprise. I too would like to have scored less than 1, but sadly this is not an option. It's hard as you tend to find the property you would like to buy and then it's out of your hands as to which estate agent the seller has decide to go with, however I was not prepared for what this really had in store for me. They handled everything atrociously with not one ounce dignity, constantly applying pressure for no reason and if anything causing a delay to the whole buying process in general due to their 'applied pressure', which I can only assume was due to bonuses etc. Michael at the Sanderstead branch was particularly awful and had no respect what so ever, sending threatening emails multiple times. I must have lost count how many times he said 'I will instruct the seller to put the property back on the market'. He knew I was extremely interested in the property which I know own so there was no need for the additional stress he caused for no reason. It got to the point where the solicitors I was using even explained that they have never dealt which such a horrific estate agent and that their ways of working was unacceptable. Overall I would strongly advise to avoid this estate agent at all costs.

Excellent service and friendly staff, dealt with Sam Humby and he found tenants for my property within a week - process through to the handover of keys was very smooth, Sam and Sophie kept me informed and were very helpful throughout.

Unfortunately I didn't do my research

Unfortunately I didn't do my research. Extremely disappointed with the manager. Service and updates very bad. What a huge learning curve for me. As the saying goes "if I knew what I know now, I would never of gone with them..". I take responsibility for not doing my research.. Do not listen to the promises. At the end of the day find a company that knows your area well, has a track record, do your research. Do not just find someone on the internet, who tells you what you wanna hear.. Make sure their office is within walking distance if possible. Try and get a team that know what they are doing, are responsible and are honest. Just seems a massive scam.. Sooner we put property on the Blockchain, then we can all get away from estate agents, solicitors and ridiculous prices.

Last minute cancellation of valuation

Made an appointment to have one of my to flats valued to out on the market. Justgot a call 45 minutes prior to meeting that ' The valuer is in a meeting that is over- running so he is having to cancel' Thanks to the Sydenham branch for being unreliable and cancelling last minute. Will not be bringing you business anytime soon!

I honestly don't know why anyone would choose to use this Estate Agent!

In all honesty, the service from Barnard Marcus is non existent. They talk a good story. However, feedback and proactive communication in relation to your property viewings is non existent. In addition to spending unnecessary time sending emails that are not responded too, I have had the misfortune to have been in some form of contact with individuals who have failed on numerous occasions, to communicate with me, despite repeated requests and their commitments, which have included 2 Branch Managers, Sales Manager from the Chiswick W4 branch and a ‘Head Office contact. If there were prizes for the most ineffective individuals, I suggest you would all be in with an excellent chance of winning joint first prize.

NEVER AGAIN would we use Barnard Marcus Epsom

If we had to list our house again, we would stay VERY far away from Barnard Marcus. We found the sales person to be completely dishonest; telling us we had a "cash buyer" who did not need to sell their property. This was very far from the truth! In fact, our Buyer couldn't even come up a 5% deposit at Exchange and the sale dragged on for 6.5 months. Our advice - STAY AWAY!

Absolutely appalling service - do not engage unless you want to be harrassed!

Absolutely appalling service. An appropriate property was found quickly, however all services past that point have been shocking. No initial itinerary was done, concerns about the state of the property and some damages were not actioned appropriately or even comminicated with the landlord. The company was late transferring rent payments to the landlord and blamed us, the tennants, when we were in fact paying the rent early. When it came to moving out they used unethical methods of pressurising us into continuing tennancy through their company, threats regarding debt collectors for certain fees from the landlord, which they had no grounds to ask for. Threatened with council checks to see if we are still at the address, when the landlord had agreed to pospone our moving out date due to health issues. This was all because we had stayed a couple of weeks past our move out date and they demanded to be paid £1650 for renewing the contract, when in reality they were told multiple times we are not renewing a contract and we are moving out, however with a delay due to health issues. Absolutely shocking service which has provided both me and the landlord with so much stress!

Marina provided us with top quality service when carrying out a remortgage. We used Marina originally for our initial mortgage and will continue to use her for any future mortgage needs! She is the most professional, hardworking mortgage advisor and makes the entire process completely stress free. The efficiency was amazing and would request paperwork and details from us and work tirelessly in the background to get the best rate possible! Would recommend anyone to use Marina if they want the best service, best rates and a personable experience - she cannot do enough for you!PositiveProfessionalism

We had amazing service throughout the buying process, great help and assistance from Jed Moxon, who was determined to help us get the right property. We then sought the services of Marina Nyugen, who was genuinely so helpful and informative, she gave us all the details, kept us informed throughout the process. She managed the find the best mortgage rates and advice us as first time buyers. We will definitely be contacting her in the future when we come to remortgage. Absolutely Brilliant throughout!PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

I have been with Marina since the beginning of my house hunt. She was recommeded to me by my uncle and she handled my case brilliantly. She was very helpful on every step of the buying process. She is quick to reply to your enquiry and takes personal responsibility to guide and support us. She is super friendly and reliable. I re-approached her again for the re-mortagage and this was handled swiflty and brilliantly. I will use her service in the future too and highly recommend her.

Being a first-time buyer with no experience at all made us feel a little worried at the beginning but when we were introduced to Marina Nguyen through Aaron of Barnard Marcus, since then the whole experience was made easy and stress-free. Marina Nguyen, (Mortgage Advisor) is someone I could confidently say to be one of the best in her work field. We're very glad that we made the right choice on choosing her handle our mortgage application from start to securing a mortgage offer from the bank. We would definitely be happy to recommend her services to everyone and we will not have second thoughts of doing business with her again in the future since we now have a lifetime membership with Barnard Marcus!PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism, Value

Definitely not the right estate agent !!

Definitely not the right estate agent to trust , we saw a house with them and we put an offer and the paperwork was going through and ready when they contacted us saying that the papers were late although i sent it to them on time ! A few days ago i had another viewing with them and i put an offer Saturday morning and when we contacted the office Monday morning they told us the sales advisor hasn’t put the offer yet ( no idea why ) so we asked them to do it and then we visited the office again in the afternoon to confirm everything and we asked them how did we lose the first property they told us that the first house we lost was because someone put higher offer ( while our papers were going through) and we didn’t know that because before they blamed it on the papers delay so we asked them for this house and they said yes we are only waiting for the owner response, around 2 hours later they contacted us and said someone put another offer and was accepted, i think there’s something going on between the office people and some buyers and they give the houses to certain people they know !!! there’s no other explanation. that was Barnard Marcus epsom , kingston road branch . So they’ve not just failed to put my offer on time but they didn’t have the nerve to tell me the truth on the first property i lost and the second one as well , and just a few minutes ago we went to the vendor house and asked them politely if they have a higher offer but they said no we had an offer on the asking price which we did as well ! We offered £5000 more than the asking price so the vendor said you need to give the offer to the office we went to the office and as soon as i asked about Mark ( who was dealing with it ) another one starting talking in a rude way and said that the vendor refused your offer and said they’re happy with the offer they got and we’re not allowed to knock on vendors door and then mark finished his phone call and Continue on what his colleague was saying in the same way !!! Honestly i think they have a deal or something with this “ cash buyer “ of them although they know i have everything ready to buy !

Barnard Marcus

Barnard Marcus - Sutton & EpsomReally wish you could score a 0 however not possible.The worst estate agents for lettings (as i’ve experienced). Firstly when moving into the property we were given an initial date and after booking time off of work the day we were meant to move in we found out this was moved by a week. On the new day of moving in we were not contacted and had to keep chasing as to when we could collect the keys. The flat had not been cleaned at all and there was mould in the fridge, when I contacted the branch they advised they weren’t required to clean the flat!We are now looking to stay on for the following year as we actually like the property yet Barnard Marcus can’t seem to get any information correct and the customer service levels are outrageous.Would highly recommend to avoid this company at all costs! There not worth the time or hassle!

They simply lie in the ads

They simply lie in the ads! I've just "viewed" a house that I didn't even enter because the ad said that the property had a off street parking, but on site it turned out to be a nasty lie. Terrible practice by this company, they just wasted my time!
