TrustpilotExcellent service from Miles and Barr Folkestone
I have bought and sold a couple of properties and had rented my Folkestone flat to tenants for 18 years and Miles and Barr were by far the best estate agent to work with. With my flat sale, they were hardworking, reliable, very helpful and always kept me up to date. The whole team at the Folkestone office were excellent, especially Emily Stickler who handled the admin of the sale and kept so patient over almost 6 months. Thanks to Emily & Miles and Barr!

Jade Eccott has been a very impressive and essential part of getting this deal across the line for us . Her persistence and patience really has been vital in helping keep this deal together. Her experience of monitoring and chasing up multiple property sales gave us the confidence to trust her advice and although it’s taken longer than we wanted a sale has now been exchanged . Jade more than made up for the branch negotiators Ethan Simpson’s poor advice which could have cost us £1000s in his incorrect so called market experience . Thank you Jade the stars are for you .

TrustpilotMY EXPERIENCE OF WORKING WITH PROPERTY MANAGER MICHELLE PURSE
MY EXPERIENCE OF WORKING WITH PROPERTY MANAGER MICHELLE PURSE.
In October 2022 I bought a house in Ramsgate which was converted into three flats, all of which are tenanted.
I was aware that Miles & Barr were the Letting Agents so was introduced to Michelle. From the first meeting I liked and trusted her.
Following on I made the rather foolish decision to tackle the innumerable problems which came with the property myself, employing roofers, scaffolders, builders, gas engineers, plumbers, decorators which was a costly mistake on my part.
Some of the tenants can be quite demanding and having arranged for a plumber to fix an issue, resulting in a much worse problem, I decided I needed to leave it to the professionals, which is what Michelle is.
Since then Michelle has resolved a vast number of problems, from external works, new flooring, replacement bathrooms, and many smaller remedial works.
She informs me in advance of compliance requirements, then arranges for one of her stable of contractors to simply go to the house and deal with such things as EICR’s Gas inspections, faulty locks etc.
When I submit my End of Year Tax, she sends me a break down of rental income and expenses to forward to my accountant.
All these responsibilities she removes from my shoulders, especially now RRA has been introduced, with good humour, unfailing reliability, and expertise.
I can honestly say that without her assistance, I would probably have decided to leave the PRS and sell up.
She really is a lovely woman, knowledgeable, helpful, funny, so I am extremely grateful to have won the lottery when it comes to my Property Manager Michelle.

I've had an excellent experience with Miles & Barr, especially Jadie Hards. She has been incredibly friendly, professional and supportive throughout the whole process. Jadie kept me informed every step of the way, answered all my questions promptly and made what could have been a very stressful time much easier.
Her communication has been outstanding, and nothing has ever seemed too much trouble. I truly appreciate all the help and support she has given me while preparing for my move. She is a real credit to Miles & Barr.
I would highly recommend Miles & Barr, and especially Jadie Hards, to anyone looking for a professional, reliable and caring letting agent. Thank you so much for everything.

TrustpilotExcellent service
From start to finish, Miles and Barr have been amazing. Josh was my first contact for the viewing and was very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. All the staff that I interacted with were great and Becky was the best! She worked tirelessly as my Sales Progressor and I don’t think it would have happened without her, due to issues with solicitors in the chain. Even though it wasn’t related to the purchase, she jumped in and help to get everything across the line.

I have rented out my flat through Miles & Barr for many years and found them to be very efficient. I can’t say I have had any problems which have not been able to sort. They have always put excellent tenants in my flat and dealt with any problems the tenants might have promptly and without any fuss. My current property manager Lisa Stamp is great she is very friendly and if I require anything she delivers almost immediately in a friendly and efficient manner. I am very happy with her.

TrustpilotPortfolio Managers are a must
We've been dealing with Miles & Barr as Managing Agent for our properties for more than 20 years and in all that time we've received good service.
As our portfolio grew it became increasingly evident, to avoid duplication of work and 'the left hand not knowing what the right hand was doing' scenario, that a 'Portfolio Manager' was required to handle all correspondence relating to our properties that had previously been dealt with by different offices within the Miles & Barr group.
When Michelle (now Michelle Purse) joined your team she evolved as our 'go-to' contact and was able to pull things together. We've depended upon her knowledge of the business and worked together to resolve more complicated issues.
More recently, she's been the hinge-pin while we've been dealing with a non-communicative tenant and as 'Portfolio Manager', for want of a better title, Michelle has been able to maintain (and retain) an overall grasp of the matter. She's been our channel of communication with Miles and Barr.
Her continued support and understanding is the reason for our comments which, we're hoping, will not go unnoticed by management.

Very professional & is a credit to your company nothing was too much trouble for her to sort out . We honestly believe we couldn't have achieved this purchase without her help if we could have given her 10 stars we would have.

TrustpilotOutstanding Sales Progress team
The outstanding part of this experience was the Sales Progressor, Denise, who was always available to push this purchase along as soon as any small or big issue came up. We completed the purchase in just two months from offer to completion and the property initially had not even been registered and one of the vendors was in Africa. All this made it challenging but we got there thanks to her. And she still cared enough to pick up one last time post completion when really her work was over. Thank you Denise.

Louise Daly was really helpful and supportive. She was a brilliant liaison between both sets of conveyancers and kept the process moving.
If it wasn’t for Louise I’m sure the sale would have fallen through and her patience and persistence to chase both conveyancers on behalf of me and the buyer was instrumental in this completion. She was very professional at all times and always positive, polite and helpful.

TrustpilotMy interactions with Miles and Barr
My interactions with Michelle Purse, in particular, who is always courteous and extremely thorough and Gillian were both productive and professional in their manner.
I do feel the Directors should consider much lower fees when renewing Rental Agreements for a new Tenant, where a Landlord has already been paying monthly Management Fees without having to be asked or negotiated down. Disappointing.
