If 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.

Awful 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.

Just not nice to deal with

Just not nice to deal with, everything’s hidden, can’t get a straight answer to what commissions are, got told to look on website which makes it even harder to find, why do WH Brown use these crooks, like dealing in the 70s, and no policing

AVOID 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

A 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

We are absolutely thrilled with the exceptional service we received from Marina Nguyen, our dedicated Mortgage Broker. Her commitment and remarkable efficiency truly set her apart. Marina exhibited a remarkable level of attentiveness throughout the entire journey, consistently proving herself to be both attentive and proactive in addressing every concern that arose. Her availability and willingness to go above and beyond reassured us at every step. Without a doubt, Marina Nguyen's expertise made our home acquisition experience nothing short of exceptional.

Steven is the best agent you will meet!

I Just wanted to say that we are so grateful for Steven Bakare at Barnard Marcus Thornton Heath! He literally helped me so much. If he hadn’t helped me we wouldn’t be in our perfectHome! We were in a hurry to buy a new house for our two daughters (both toddlers!) Steven found us the perfect house and got us an excellent deal. There were many interested parties snd we still feel like we were so lucky to have got the house at the price we did! We are happy and settled in our beautiful house. Honestly so grateful. Today my 3 year old said that she loves our house so much and it just made me so happy. It’s the perfect place for us and we wouldn’t have had this if it wasn’t for Steven! We moved in within 6 weeks of seeing the house! So grateful! Definitely recommend Barnard marcus to everyone.

I recently made an enquiry for a shared ownership property. Although I didn’t qualify for it, a member of staff at Barnard Marcus by the name of Karim went above and beyond by sending me properties local to myself. He allowed me to get better understanding of getting on the property ladder. If it’s top notch service your after I couldn’t recommend Barnard Marcus and Karim enough!

Choosing an estate agent can be a difficult decision. As it was the first time selling it was important that we felt confident in our estate agent. Evan and the team at Barnard Marcus were supportive, professional, and achieved us over the asking price for the sale of our property. And we have already recommended them to our friends as they are the best agent in Feltham!

I had a very positive experience with Barnard Marcus Estate Agents in Feltham. Having used a different Estate Agent initially who weren't able to sell my property, Barnard Marcus provided a polar opposite service. They communicated clearly and frankly, understood my needs and delivered on everything they promised. If ever any queries arose, they were available to discuss over the phone or via email in a prompt manner. Most importantly, they sold my property at the asking price in the time frame they had indicated, making what can be a stressful experience, as smooth as possible through their handling.

Barnard Marcus has been our letting agent for 4 months and the service has been atrocious- payment has been late on several occasions and charges that were not discussed have been taken from our account.

I was very interested in a property in Mitcham, Surrey

I was very interested in a property promoted by BM's Mitcham office. I told the agent I had £500k in cash and arranged a second viewing (I was prepared to offer up to £485). The agent told me (I'm paraphrasing) that if I didn't use BM's conveyancing services my bid would be deprioritised. I told him I would not be using BM's conveyancing - I don't understand how one agent can act in the interests of two parties to a contract.As I arrived at the property for the second viewing he called to say a sale had been agreed earlier in the day. I spoke to the vendors and they told me the sale agreed was £461k. My best guess is the buyer had agreed to use BM's conveyancing services which probably meant an additional £3-5k to BM and a bonus to the agent - I stand ready to be corrected. The agent sold the property in under two weeks from it going on the market. He told me it was urgent as the vendors had found a place and were eager to move - the vendors told me at the second viewing they were still looking. For some reason, the agent wanted a quick sale.....sold in under two weeks with other potential offers known.....!!!!I believe the agent did not act in the best interests of his client. There is a potential conflict of interest for BM in promoting their conveyancing services and ensuring their client's best interests.

Overall I wouldn’t recommend

As they are quite a well known agency I thought I would be getting good service, we were visited by the branch manager, who, as soon as he received my business- completely disappeared and never responded to anything. We had multiple offers accepted however buyers either weren’t informed correctly about our situation or they messed us around. When we finally progressed with our sale the progression team were terrible- never there, wouldn’t respond and wouldn’t update when they said they were going to. I also kept getting calls from their ‘customer service’ team who had no idea how to respond when I told them know angry I was. There was one amazing lady at the mitcham branch who was phenomenal the whole time- she was the only reason I never went insane. Overall I would not recommend Barnard Marcus.

I and my husband have had a great experience with Marina Nguyen and the team of Barnard Marcus. Marina went above and beyond her duties to help us to get our dreamed house. Marina is very professional, efficient, straight forward and she’s got years of experience in the field. We would like to recommend her services to everyone who is looking for a stress-free mortgage process. Thanks for your outstanding workPositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

It should be possible to give 0 stars…

It should be possible to give 0 star reviews because it would be entirely relevant for this business.Despite being able to go on for days about how unprofessional, rude and disinterested the Letting Manager was at the Addiscombe Road, Croydon branch, the short version of this is just how abysmal each and every person managed to be at their job.From the point of holding deposit payment there was a complete lack of communication that in the end, caused us to have to pay an additional months rent at our old address simply because they took too long to confirm whether or not we were able to hand our notice in.On one occasion when trying to get through to the Letting Manager, Anton, he outright told me that Anton was out of the office...while speaking to me. Information was constantly contradictory from the same person as they tried to give me the run around by not being able to answer simple questions. I eventually had to find and contact the landlord myself to get any form of movement and the only reason i didnt withdraw my application (deposit be damned) is because BM would not be the property managers and so i wouldnt have to deal with them again.My partner and I had come a private landlord before this and needless to say, BM completely ruined any positive experience of dealing with a letting agent. I wish i had done my research beforehand as i would have held out for a company that seemed to actually care about tenants in any way.

❌ Paid 12 months upfront, but faced undisclosed risks and an eviction notice I believe was retaliatory, Barnard Marcus failed to protect me as a tenant.

My experience has been extremely poor. Despite paying 12 months’ rent upfront plus a large deposit, I was not told crucial facts before signing, including the freehold setup, the controlling freeholders living upstairs, and the presence of a large dog, which later attacked me in the hallway, the only access to my flat. These are material facts that should have been disclosed.
