TrustpilotSlow to react
From day 1 we were permanently having to chase them to get things right. The photography was terrible and even after a second attempt the photographs did not do the property justice. After threatening to cancel our contract they eventually sent a decent photographer. Incorrect details of the lease were posted. We went into their office many times to get errors corrected each time wasting valuable weeks trying to sell. On their recommendation we furnished and dressed our property but when advised they didn't even bother to view it. We submitted our own photographs which again wasted another week of them getting them posted correctly on the selling sites. GO ELSEWHERE!

Miles and Barr were excellent throughout our difficult prolonged sale. professional and friendly, but most importantly they kept us updated all throughout and turned what could have been a traumatic process into a rather good one. Special shout out to Louise Daly who held our hands all the way!

TrustpilotThe worst customer service ever
The worst customer service ever. Lazy and incompetent. Tried to sign us up for 2 weeks just to realise my name was not even on the system but somehow was only my partners name and phone number. Could not get anything done for 2 weeks but when my friend called- local business owner with nice English accent- got 2 viewings in 2 days.Not only failed to inform us about canceled viewing ( that was confirmed by phone call the day before) but also could not keep the word of informing about upcoming properties. Called to book a viewing only to find out that the maximum viewing have been booked, although I was promised to be first one to know if anything suitable would come up.

Dear Mr Anthoney, We can confirm our Folkestone Property Management department takes this subject raised seriously and continue to manage the matter. Police are notified of criminal actions reported and these must be dealt with directly by the Police.

TrustpilotThe tricky process of renting a house made easy
We have just found the tricky process of trying to rent a house for the next 12 months made considerably easier through Miles Barr. Natalie Heard, their Lettings Negotiator was professional, friendly and efficient and it has been a pleasure dealing with her and her colleagues.

TrustpilotNever again. bad estate agent.
Absolutly apauling. Don't trust a word miles and bar say.Badly advised into I am sold auction through them. Told it would achieve over the asking price. They'll be 20 bidder. Miles and bar and Auctioneers lied . Didn't even get to auction just insulting offers and pressure to accept. Cancelled after it was a flop. But auctioneer and miles and bar arguing as to who's fault it was that it rolled into another month. But no resolution. Then recieved terms of cancellation. I can't believe these are legal. If viewer or ancestor , girl friends boyfriends or distant relative try to buy within 12 months they will rip seller off for 4.25% of the value sold. But privacy laws mean there is no posible way to check if a buyer falls into there terms.

GoogleThe property I have purchased was suggested to me before it went on the market, and I'm so glad I went with the agency's recommendation. The viewings at each stage were well-organised and insightful. The experience post-offer was just as good, with great communication, empathy and support throughout the process.

I recently bought a property via M & B and the service was perfect throughout. Emily Stickler told me that she would contact me every week and as regular as clockwork she did. She chased all concerned and I know it would not have gone through in record time without her intervention. She is an excellent Ambassador for the Company and my gratitude goes to her and her team

TrustpilotDisappointing Experience - Not Recommended for Landlords
I strongly advise against using Miles & Barr. As a landlord, my experience has been extremely disappointing. The communication regarding my tenant's arrears was sorely lacking, and I only received the necessary information after persistently pursuing the matter myself.Furthermore, their email correspondence has been consistently unprofessional and discourteous. The overall attitude displayed by the company gives the impression that they have no genuine concern for their clients' businesses. I would recommend seeking alternative property management services to avoid such a frustrating and unsatisfactory experience.

I found Miles and Barr - both the office and the progressor - very helpful throughout what turned out to be a lengthy, difficult and, at times, quite stressful process. At all times, I was kept well informed by all the Miles and Barr staff I dealt with, including those at another branch. I would certainly recommend Miles and Barr to anyone planning to buy and/or sell their home
