Miles & Barr

My gut feeling was bad as I spoke to Miles & Barr last week as a potential buyer. Having read other reviews on this site I have decided not to deal with them at all, no matter how charming the property. They were very pushy re: my dealing with their in-house mortgage broker, despite my already ... Read Full Review

sale and purchase in Ramsgate I have bought and sold 13 times my life so have a lot of experience with estate agents I have also managed teams in my time in the NHS I have to give feedback for a remarkable team in ... Read Full Review

Although the approach of the valuer seemed to be genuine, I quickly discover that in fact he was only interested in having my listing!! So ....too high a price to start with coupled with a very bad text in the ad, my house did not sale! at the end of the contract I wrote to them, letting them know ... Read Full Review

Completely unprofessional and incompetent. I strongly advise against using these useless clowns. Do not trust their promises, as they fail to keep their ... Read Full Review

My initial contact with Miles Barr when registering was pleasant. I spoke with someone called Laura. The person carrying out the viewing claimed they were experienced... though clearly appeared unaware of customer care. Her manner seemed quite abrasive. There was a complete complete lack of ...

I have received overall a terrible service from Miles and Barr Ramsgate. Stuart Barr himself did not reply to my many emails to him making valid complaints and then when I eventually get someone to take me seriously and I think I'm getting somewhere speaking to Karen Hirst, Stuart only then replies ...

Have to say I have recently dealt with the herne bay office for my sale, and Birchington for the purchase. Both offices have been extremely helpful and the process was painless. I also used miles and Barr financial services for my mortgage and Tammy was a star, really sorted things out for me. ... Read Full Review

I travelled from Chelmsford to view an apartment in Broadstairs. I made an offer the same day and from then on the service I received was the worst I have ever received from an Estate Agent. Dan Woodward claims he does not leave messages on the phone as it it his policy not to do so, so I was ... Read Full Review

What a shamble. Unprofessional staff and some very suspect selling procedures. Who ever owns Miles & Barr really needs to vet the employees as they are losing the company so many potential buyers and sellers. The agent we had does not follow up the bidding of a property to which could have sold ... Read Full Review

This company has got to be the worst estate agents ever. Total lack of communication within the office.Told twice not to let a certain couple in to view our home while we were away as they were complete time wasters who has not turned up to two previously arranged viewings yet while we away they ...

Commuted by bus from Canterbury to Whitstable to view property with my husband and 2 year old (while pregnant). Estate agent who confirmed viewing did not show up. Subsequently received an email indicating a conditional requirement to see their viewings is to meet with their recommended mortgage ... Read Full Review

This is an absolutely shocking company. I believe I was constantly lied to when buying a house from them..I agreed a price and was told it was off the market, I then asked to meet vendors to ask some questions, they arranged meeting, then called it off saying vendors were shy and feeling ...

I am currently trying to buy a property. It is vacant and I was told there had been a buyer before me so the sale should be quick and straightforward. 18 weeks later the sale is still NOT complete. I have been repeatedly lied to about various issues, given deadlines that were not met and made ... Read Full Review

Unethical. Unprofessional. Dishonest. We had a 150 mile round trip to view a property which the agent showing us around then claimed to know nothing about. He told us a patch of fenced off land at the bottom of the garden was untitled when five minutes research online showed it belonged to the ... Read Full Review

-All patronising agents, sarcastic manner and answered phone mid conversation to boyfriend during viewing. -They answer phones and any queries in robot-like manner, do not actually listen. It is clear they do not have tenants interests only the landlords interests who they are making money off. ... Read Full Review

Have contacted both Ramsgate and Margate offices a few times now. I would be pretty upset if my own property was being marketed in this way, as they seem to be confused and not know what they have on the market, they can't answer questions, they seem to fail to add EPCs and when you ask for the ...

We were on the market with Miles and Barr for four months yet only had four viewings in that time. No contact with them week to week and no feedback as to why they didn't think we were getting any interest. Literally weeks would go by with us hearing nothing from them. There are three other ...

This has to be the very worst agent ever. We were shown around the property by Zara who was on her mobile texting the entire half hour viewing, and she said not a word! I put an offer in on the property and rang 5 days later to find out about it, and was met with "is it about the ... Read Full Review

I moved into the property on March 4, 2014. There was a lingering dog odor that permeated the apartment- I had not noticed it during the one viewing that I had of the place. The offending odor was coming from the carpet in the reception room. The odor was very offensive. I reprted it to Miles ... Read Full Review

This sale has taken nearly 4 months, they use their own in house Solicitors, Boys and Maughan, who are almost as inefficient as they are. There was no chain on this property as it was a probate sale. I have worked in Solicitors for 20 years and have never seen such ineptitude as this Estate Agent ... Read Full Review
