Would not recommend miles and barr, absolutely useless, no communication, they can't be bothered, don't get back to you and some of the staff don't know anything about the property when they turn up to show a buyer around. Would totally avoid them nmat all costs not worth the money thank god we have moved to another estate agent!!

My elderly parents found their dream house. They put their bungalow up for sale with Miles and Barr, Herne Bay. They was pressured into signing the contract for the sale on the first visit, with the promise that they had potential buyers lined up already. The valuation consultant told them that he...

The agents fees were very over priced considering they did not even turn up for the appointments and my parents had to show the potential buyers around the property. On the occasions that they did turn up they stood there in silence whilst my parents showed the potential buyer around the house.

Quick to take your money. Inventory clerk extremely rude and disgusting. Try to charge you for things that don't need doing. Put you in dirty houses and then expect it left in tip top condition and then won't pick up the phone to you. Cowards! Very argumentative inventory clerk who missed things... Read Full Review

It is clear they do not have tenants interests only the landlords interests who they are making money off.... 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
The agent could have made sure that the property was habitable and fit for a tenants enjoyment of the property. Th agent could have portrayed a more assertive, take charge, no-nonsense attitude in getting requested repairs accomplished, thus enhancing good business relations, ethical practices and professional standards and trust.

Having suffered at the hands of these cowboys I would strongly urge any prospective tenants to not have a thing to do with Miles and Barr. There are other, far far better letting agents in Whitsable, Herne Bay and Canterbury. Lethargic Yarn... Read Full Review

The used my front door and grand entrance to sell apartments accessed on a different road if they sold mine would they use the church as a description ? Property Misdescriptions Act 1991 i am sure they breach it often
Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.
No procedure set.
