Professional service , diligently executed.

Emily has been my contact at Miles and Barr. I was buying my next property through them. I have received excellent professional service with good communication and support when it was needed. My sale was in a long chain and Emily chased right back to the beginning and kept me up to date with progress. She was honest about progress unlike some others I was dealing with. She checked in with me regularly and responded quickly when I contacted her. I would use Miles and Barr again.

I went with miles and barr to sell my property and I am glad I did. My sales negotiator Debbie Mead was fantastic, she kept me informed through the whole process, she answered my queries promptly and always returned my calls. On completion day she went above and beyond, well done Debbie.

The staff were through and ensured my case was dealt with efficiently. The staff were always friendly and answered any questions I felt needed to be asked. Moving is an overwhelming process but the staff made sure the process remained simple and made it clear what exactly needed to be done step-by-step to ensure a successful move. Overall I was very happy with the service provided and the staff should be commended for their dedication and patience.

Excellent service from all of the staff at Miles & Barr Ramsgate who were originally just assisting me with finding a new home. At the last moment I changed to them also for selling my property and within days it had sold. A massive thank you to James, Giuseppe, Jack, Rebecca, Charlotte, Anne-Marie and George. They really are the most knowledgeable agents regarding properties in Ramsgate. Always treating you as if you are their only client with regards to needs and requirements.I think fees are very fair. I went to another agent originally where you have to pay fees upfront if you do not use their recommended solicitors. I lost that money but so happy that I went to a professional agents in the end

Strange experience with this agent

Strange experience with this agent. We kept being told that viewers really wanted our house & then were offered a fraction of the asking price. They sent round a lot of viewers one of which offered 1/10th the asking price! Such a waste of our time. There was then a big gap with no viewings. A person then came round - offered 100K below asking & said they were a cash buyer. I did begin to wonder whether some kind of scam was in operation. We eventually took the house off the market & won't ever be going back to M&B

Perfectly managed Sale

Lisa was exceptional. There were many challenges along the way but she had the happy knack off keeping you calm and assured that things were moving in the right direction.House moves are never a walk in the park but it was a pleasure knowing I was in safe hands

Great experience with Miles and Barr

We both bought and sold a property with Miles and Barr, downsizing from a four-bedroom semi to a two-bedroom bungalow in the next street. The staff at Miles and Barr were knowledgeable and helpful throughout the whole process, in particular Rebecca Gravener who was the progress chaser and saw everything to a successful conclusion.

Appalling and shocking Estate Agent…DO NOT USE

Appalling and shocking Estate Agent that should not be in business and should be closed down. I cannot begin to describe the awful service provided by this estate agent. They never act in the owners behalf and carry out illegal practices, such as releasing a deposit to tenants before they have ended tenancy and check out is completed -which is breach of contract! Throughout the whole experience they have never acted in my interests and have always gone against what I have asked, despite me being a loyal customer for over 10 years. They are condescending, rude and no help whatsoever always belittling me on the phone, making me sound like my requests were stupid and that they were not going to complete these for me. Please read all these reviews before instructing them - we all cannot be wrong!!!!! They have caused me untold stress in an already stressful situation with a nightmare tenant that they RECOMMENDED to me and pushed for the tenancy. Please please do your research on these 'cowboy' agents.

Miles and Barr have been an excellent team to work with, they have helped amazingly with both buying and purchase. Constant updating, and more viewings, if compared… And thanks to Becky White also with chasing up with the correspondence between solicitors, and rushing things up. Thanks, amazing job. Over all a wonderful experience.

I was greeted by a friendly professional greeting from Jake Chamberlain at 1 Kentmere Avenue.Jake made sure that I saw all of the property and answered all questions asked with confidence and knowledge of his role and was respectful of the property asking if the garden could be last bit viewed to protect the carpets from dirty footwear.Jake remained friendly and professional throughout the tour.I was happy with the experience.Thank you.Tina Perks

Niamh is the agent managing our rental property. We have worked with her previously and we’re delighted when she was allocated to us again. She is extremely proactive, efficient and helpful, all assets you would hope to find in a letting agent.

We brought our first home through Miles & Barr Cliftonville, we always found the staff to be friendly & helpful. Whilst arranging viewings staff were very good at finding houses to match our needs as a family. All the staff at Cliftonville office were extremely helpful especially Alice Fridd & the manager Joe Bull. Our review is mainly based on Louise Daly our sales progressor. Louise went above & beyond to help & guide us through the whole process. Due to Covid-19 our sale went over the normal timescales & Louise was amazing throughout the whole process. Louise always replied promptly to my emails & was there to reassure me when it felt like we would never exchange. I am so grateful to Louise for everything she has done for us since our offer was accepted on our first house on February 1st, It is now the end of August & we are finally in our new home!!

Thank you Louise Daly!

Thank you Louise Daly!The whole experience, from viewing the property to purchasing it, was great. Louise was excellent as our sales progressor, always available, returned our calls promptly and nothing was to much trouble for her - even the most trivial of questions! We really appreciated all her help and support.

Poor customer service

My first time dealing with a property company and it was not the best experience. I was looking to relocate to England, contacted them and made them aware that I am in Scotland so I would prefer a video viewing. However, I was strongly advised against it and was told by a member of staff that it was "unusual for us to let a property without a viewing". Fine, we arranged a viewing the following week. There were multiple confirmations, even one a day before the viewing was supposed to take place. Bearing in mind, I travelled more than 700MILES for a viewing, that was how sincere I was. I got a phone call on the day the viewing was supposed to take place, saying that the property was rented out. A short apology over the phone but there was no other recommendations as to what they could offer while I was there. I was really angry having spent hundreds on my travel and accommodation for nothing. Very irresponsible of them I would say. Does not have to take a first timer to know that this kind of service is unacceptable.

£60 wheeze to get verified is not helping sell your home

As an investor, their idiotic £60 charge to get a customer verified means I wouldn’t even view a property with them. If looking to use them to sell, don’t, they are clearly more interested in cheap wheezes to make more money than getting the best price for your property. They make enough from their commission to cover this cost.

Darren provided an valuation of the property price with back up research he had done to justify the figure which was excellent.

One star is quite generous

One star is quite generous. I cannot possibly express just bad Miles & Barr are. It would be easy to think this is just a rant from a disgruntled tenant but after the time, money and love that was put into our property we have been treated like something someone has stepped in. We has respect for our home and have looked after it as though it was our own. The outgoing inventory supports this. Throughout the whole tenancy we were constantly praised for how nice, clean and decorated the property was, paid in advance and always kept on top of everythingThey haven’t a clue about the law, children and disabilities. Property managers definitely aren’t employed for their brains nor their experience. Rude, self entitled and so unprofessional. The overall lettings manager struggles with anything that requires important attention and hides behind her computer. We had been warned prior to renting with them that they were a nightmare, however we loved the house and area so took the house. Trying to get anything done is hard work, which is why we did so much as tenants to the property ourselves. If we waited for them each time the house would have gone into ruin! As it is the house was left in immaculate condition and a brand new garden for new tenants to enjoy! Be warned they will actively discriminate against disabled children. As tenants we did everything to the house but we asked for one little arrangement and the agent and landlord thought breaking the law was the better option. Even better was issuing a section 21 in revenge for reporting the discrimination and lying saying the landlord was selling only to see it being re let! Honesty is not Miles & Barr. Also be warned make sure you sign the inventory and record delivery any differences because they will try screwing your over and charging for things that do not appear on the ingoing and outgoing inventory. You have to threaten them with dispute to get your money back. They did this to my neighbour down one and to us.
