Rebecca Gravener super star
Rebecca Gravener went above & beyond what we expected to get the completion of property over the line.
Very professional & is a credit to your company nothing was too much trouble for her to sort out . We honestly believe we couldn't have achieved this purchase without her help if we could have given her 10 stars we would have.
Would certainly recommend your company for buying property off to other people .
All of the staff at Miles and Barr, especially Rebecca.
All of the staff at Miles and Barr, without exception, have been kind, courteous, respectful and efficient throughout the whole process of selling my mums house.
Rebecca Gravener has stood out in particular as she has been with me throughout. It was a challenging house to sell due to being age restricted and subject to the rules and regulations of two management companies, that were very slow to respond at every step of the way. Rebecca maintained an admirable level of professionalism, keeping calm, with a measured assertiveness under pressure, when needed. She always kept me in the loop during the many ups and downs. I am extremely satisfied with the service we received from Rebecca. Thank you.
Miles & Barr Canterbury team provided excellent service
Miles & Barr Canterbury team provided excellent, timely service in arranging house viewings and also in the post-offer, with special thanks to Lynette Pickard and Denise Lumpkin. Prompt reply to messages, emails and phone calls. Really a reassurance sales process for a property in Canterbury. GREAT team!
Louise Daley
We chose Miles &Barr to sell our two flats in Margate because they had taken over Oakwood homes whom we had previously used in the past.
Thankfully the person allocated to sell our properties and get us forward to buy a new home was Louise Daly.
Oh my word what a determined, approachable and 100% dedicated person she is.
We had a leasehold property to sell that became a nightmare dealing with management companies and building permissions etc , waiting forever for answers and responses .
Louise went above and beyond to get answers & responses constantly and worked so much harder and faster than either solicitors or conveyancing teams.
If it wasn't for Louise's dedication we would not have got our dream home.
She really cares and really understands your anxiety and frustration when things are taking too long and always goes the extra mile to sort it out.
If anyone is thinking of selling their property with Miles & Barr I would strongly recommend that you ask Louise Daly to represent you as she is brilliant.
Thank you Louise you have been amazing 👋

Louise Daley is worth her weight in gold
This is the second property sale Louise has helped me with (helped is really an understatement of all the hard work she actually put in to get me over the finish line).
From start to a very long finish Louise went above and beyond in giving me reassurance through a very tricky and frustrating process.
Louise genuinely cares and is dedicated in keeping everyone in the chain notified and together on the same page.
Louise is prompt to answer all calls and emails so I never was left wondering how the sale was developing, a hundred times quicker than my solicitor which made me count on her more than my conveyancer.
When I had delay issues with the Management Company and Free Holder Louise didn't think twice in picking up the phone and calling them directly to speed them up. Which I found both mine and the buyers solicitor's lacked urgency.
If I was on a ship sailing into the unknown I would want Louise to captain that ship. In all honesty her professionalism, reliability, dedication, efficiency, communication skills, proactive approach, genuine care and support and the love she puts into her job Louise should and could captain a whole fleet of ships.
Louise what can I say you guided me through a long and difficult process, a process that on many occasions I thought would fall by the roadside. You kept me calm and more important you kept the chain ahead of me calm.
You managed to keep all the links on track and I am over the moon to soon be moving into my dream home, something I can and will always thank you for.
Louise Daley you are worth your weigh in gold, you are a great advocate for Miles & Barr and you are a true friend.
Thank you a hundred times for everything you have done since we first started both our property sales last December, you are a very special person.
Best wishes to you and your future.

Miles and Barr Ashford
Having recently sold my house with Miles and Barr I was very satisfied with the service they provided.
All members of the team were very approachable and professional.
The sale of my house did have a couple of set backs however Debbie Thwaites the senior sales progressor was extremely helpful and reassuring throughout. She did an amazing job of keeping everyone on the right track and resolving issues quickly and efficiently.
Thank you Debbie and Miles & Barr Ashford.

One million thanks
I bought my first apartment thanks to Louise and Louisa from Miles and Barr, who are both wonderful, big-hearted women. They supported me throughout the entire process, it was so reassuring to have such caring people guiding me through such a big decision! The whole team is very kind and approachable, working hard to answer all my questions. I’m so grateful for their kindness.

The sales progressor
The sales progressor, Emily Stickler, was professional and helpful all the way through a difficult process. She kept us involved all the way through and was helpful in solving problems that arose. She kept the sale on track and was encouraging even when things looked uncertain. A big thanks, Emily.

Success
Another successful sale enabled by Louise at Miles and Barr. In essentially, what is a broken UK, it is good to know that there are a few of us left that do work hard and care about what we do, whilst the State is trying to do its best to squeeze the life out of us. Thank you Louise.

Good experience as a buyer
We recently purchased via Miles and Barr and had a good experience overall. Our process required multiple viewings - this was an aspect which was handled well each time. Comms were clear, we didn't experience any noteworthy issues or delays, and our 'progressor', Rebecca, helped us stay on track for a timely exchange.

Louise - Miles and Barr
Louise has been absolutely fantastic and so pro active throughout the entire experience, even when the agents in the rest of the chain seemed to become stagnant. We really appreciate all of your help. Thank you

Support was vital
This was the second time of buying a property but the first time of selling a property. I have found the whole process both challenging and exhausting. However I received support and reassurance from Debbie Mead at the Birchington branch with regards to my purchase which I am extremely grateful for. Thank you Debbie.

I have been a client of Miles and Barr who have managed my property in Ramsgate for many years. Obviously there have been a few ups and downs but I have to say it has been a pleasurable and rewarding journey. Well I a still with them!, Mandy Wilkins

Excellent service
Excellent service
Louise Daly was really helpful and supportive. She was a brilliant liaison between both sets of conveyancers and kept the process moving.
If it wasn’t for Louise I’m sure the sale would have fallen through and her patience and persistence to chase both conveyancers on behalf of me and the buyer was instrumental in this completion. She was very professional at all times and always positive, polite and helpful.

A Buyers Review
I dealt with Miles & Barr Margate as a buyer. Agents were attentive and friendly in booking and carrying out viewings which lead to a flat purchase. My sales progression was handled by Louise who I felt went above and beyond. She emailed/called with updates, and chased the necessary persons before I had a chance to ask. Any time I did have a query she always answered the phone, dealt with it swiftly and always followed up. A stressful buying process (through external factors) made easier by a fantastic employee.

Emily Stickler at Miles & Barr was brilliant throughout our purchase.
This was the first time I've had a dedicated sales progressor, and I was genuinely impressed by the difference it made. Emily kept in regular contact, chased both solicitors, provided weekly updates and always let me know exactly where the transaction stood.
Having someone proactively managing the communication took a huge amount of stress away and made the whole transaction feel much smoother.
I'd highly recommend Emily to anyone buying or selling a property. She provided an excellent service from start to finish.

Raised the issue of getting a new EPC…
Raised the issue of getting a new EPC done with the property manager, setting out our rationale and asking for her thoughts on the matter. She replied promptly and gave her recommendation in clear terms.
She offered to get an EPC assessor lined up if we didn't have anyone we wished to approach ourselves to do the necessary. We happily accepted her offer.
