The worst estate agents I have ever come across. Be VERY careful if you intend to use a member of their solicitors panel they will charge you £150 to simply instruct a solicitor of their choice, the solicitors' charges will in no way be competitive and they will charge you and additional £60 to complete a money laundering ID check which will then not be recognised by their solicitors and therefore will be required to be carried out a second time...... BEWARE!!

Having been assured that our property would have no problem selling we were very excited to put an offer on a property also with Miles and Barr.
Within the first week we had 3 viewings all supposed to be desperate for our property.
6 weeks later not a single viewing but lots of pressure to look at more properties even though we had made an offer on somewhere which that also reassured us they would do all they could to sell to us. We even wanted to put a full asking price offer on the property but told not to worry and that they would keep us updated with further interested offers.
New year's eve we got a phone call to be told that the property we had wanted was sold despite being told not to worry about upping our offer. Not what my wife wanted to hear especially when she has bipolar. Unfortunately Miles and Barr felt the wrath of her and ended messy.
We was also told that our agent would come and discuss progress with the sale every 3 weeks but never a dicky bird from him.
Obviously sales pressures got to the team at Christmas as we barraged with other properties to look at despite having our hearts already set on.
We have now removed our house from Miles and Barr

Being an estate agent I would consider myself to be uber critical when it came to my property search, Miles & Barr where by far the most proactive agent I dealt with, before, during and after the sale was agreed they were fantastic, I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone looking to buy or sell, it is clear why they appear to dominate the areas in which they operate. The service I received was superb.

We felt supported and assisted by the professionalism of all involved from the valuation, through to the marketing and negotiations.
We will recommend Miles and Barr Birchington to anyone wishing to sell'.

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.
Although they are not the cheapest, the service was impeccable.
I would recommend miles and Barr to everyone and would have no issue using them again.

What agent could do to change your mind?
The agent could have shown honesty and integrity, they could have communicated better, been more efficient in getting things done and NOT put down the phone or fail to phone back when asked.
Comments (0)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 promises they were unable to keep. It is hard to believe they are incapable of making a telephone call to move on a sale in the time-frames THEY promise. When you tell them something they don't want to hear, they simply put the phone down on you. They don't even care that they stand to lose the vendor the sale if they don't do their job within the time-scales given! I pity any seller who has signed up with them, because I have no idea what you are paying them to do!

I would NEVER use this company again, to buy or to sell. They are incompetent in all aspects of this profession and I would be embarrassed to work for them.
