TrustpilotHome purchasing
We unfortunately didn’t use Miles and Barr to sell our home, but had the pleasure of purchasing our next home through them.Throughout our experience of moving home, they demonstrated how the process should be handled, unlike our agents selling our home.In our opinion they went above and beyond. With a team, very well led by Hollie-Anna, we received weekly phone calls, giving us regular updates on what we needed to do and what we were waiting on from other parties involved.They were always on the other end of the phone, willing to speak and explain various processes and always more than willing to assist in anyway they could.

Shelley and Aggi were impeccable throughout what has turned out to be a rather turbulent sale, but have always been dutiful, patient and understanding and helped us thoroughly in the process!

TrustpilotStress-free and enjoyable rental experience helping us find our perfect home
We approached Miles & Barr about a beautiful house that my boyfriend and I were hoping to rent. It ticked every single one of our boxes - but there was a lot of interest! We were in touch with Holly Hill at the estate agents throughout the process who ensured we had every opportunity to view the property, meet the landlady and kept us reassured throughout until our acceptance. Holly really supported our application and has made the whole process so easy, accommodating our needs. It has been such a positive journey. Thank you!

TrustpilotExcellent service
I haven't bought a property in over 40 years so was a bit rusty. Everything Miles and Barr have done for me has been excellent, from the initial introduction, both polished and professional to the updates received every ten days to let me know how the sale was going through. Any difficulties quickly remedied, I can't praise Miles and Barr enough. I would also like to praise Ben for his professionalism during the initial meeting and Shelley Webster who has kept me up to date throughout the procedure.

TrustpilotNot a good experience.
We asked M&B to market our house last autumn and only had a few viewers. The few viewings that did take place, we never had any feedback from the agents. For weeks on end we heard nothing from them. Earlier this year they called me suggesting we dropped the price by £10k to get in before the stamp duty concession ended. But no sale. So I cancelled the contract and put the property with a different agent. A week and a half later and we have an offer at the original (higher) asking price which we have accepted.

Helped me through the entire process of getting the house on the market and finding a buyer. The sales negotiator, Louise Daly, was professional, friendly and determined throughout to make sure the sale went through as smoothly as possible in a difficult time. Was genuinely pleased for me when it was completed which was lovely.

TrustpilotBigotted staff with too much power
This company discriminates against single parents of low income. This agent told me they had put my details forward for rental properties when in fact they did not show my details to the landlord at all. I found this out as a family member turned out to be a friend of a landlord but he wasn't shown my details. This is down to the one member of staff having too much 'power' and it going to her head. Shame on you and your colleagues for judging people by thier circumstances.

TrustpilotA big thank you
A big thank you to the staff at the Ramsgate branch but especially to Emma smith the sales negotiator she went above and beyond to keep me informed of the sales progression of my property. We found ourselves in a long chain which we had no knowledge of due to sellers that were less then truthful (not miles & Barr or Emma’s thought but another estate agents negotiator that didn’t even bother to contact us from the beginning)

TrustpilotUnsafe, filthy, broken - miles and Barr don’t care
We rent a house from miles and Barr. On move in day we paid our deposit and first months rent before we were told to collect the keys from their office. Upon entering our new home none of the cleaning or works had been completed. Considering we are in the midst of a global pandemic I found this completely unacceptable. We spent 3 days cleaning and scrubbing and having to stay in a hotel due to the filth. Among all the cleaning jobs, I have had to scrape grease off the kitchen cabinets with a paint scraper, clean excrement from the outside of the toilet bowl and deal with limescale on every bathroom area. In addition to this we have had to fill countless holes in the wall and repaint the whole inside of the house. Despite agreeing that all of the cleaning and works should be done before our move in date (and emails to prove it) miles and Barr continue to be useless at holding up their end of the deal. We will need to continue to spend money fixing gutters and doors (which are detached/ laying on the floor!), the porch, the electrics etc if we want to live in a safe home. Spending this amount of money on top of our rent amount is ridiculous and we have had no support from miles and Barr aside from eventually sending a carpet cleaner a week after we moved in. I have sent a complaint via their complaints procedure but still have not had a response. I would never recommend miles and Barr! Look elsewhere!

TrustpilotOn the verge of being left homeless…
On the verge of being left homeless because of incompetence, delays, and now outright lies.Offered and agreed a Move In date, plan accordingly and give notice on current property.1 week later, some BS about workmen unable to get in, so push the Move In date back 8 days.Plan and pay for things based on the new Move In date.2 days before Move In, chase to confirm about keys, only to have date pushed back another 3 days, to basically coincide with the date we have to give keys back on current home, meaning we have no way to move furniture, decorate etc and even 1 more days delay means we would be homeless.Then, to be told they never mentioned any date other than the latest one, and we must "be confused" (I have it in writing - no confusion there!), and there is nothing they can do about it....My wife is in tears, I am an emotional wreck, and we have got to find £750+ to cover lost deposits, cancelled van hire, storage, and hotel costs.We have Rented for the last 25yrs, moving numerous times. NEVER have we been subjected to such a dysfunctional, ignorant, could-not-care-less bunch of cowboys.

I have had my house up for sale for 2 1/2 months now during the current "housing boom" with this agent. During this time I have had four viewings - a fifth did not show up and no explanation was given. The first "buyer" made an offer, then withdrew it two weeks later after searches had been started. Last person to view told me my house was "overpriced, too small, and about to collapse due to a construction fault", which - if it is a fault - affects all 120 houses on this 40-year-old estate! He then offered 10% below asking price, which had already been reduced. Nobody seems to know what other staff are doing, they double up on calls, or do not call at all. I had to constantly remind them of my situation and circumstances. Given up now - will try again in the new year with another agent.

GoogleJust sold through Miles & Barr Birchington branch, and have to say the service from day one through to completion has been faultless. Many promises were made regarding the sale and the process thereafter, and these were all kept. I personally dealt with Ed throughout the sale, and he regularly kept in touch and updated me each step of the way. I certainly wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Miles & Barr to anyone who plans to sell their property now or in the future. Thank you.
