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.

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.

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 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.

Thank you doesn’t seem enough!

The customer service I received from Miles and Barr, Folkestone, has been flawless.
Having inherited a property that was not straightforward, I cannot thank Emily Stickler enough for all her hard work.
Emily has been fantastic every step of the way including explaining processes to myself, and answering all my questions. I was kept informed every step of the way. I had never sold a property before, but found the process to be fairly straightforward due to this, and will miss my weekly calls with Emily. Emily’s compassion and empathy, along with her knowledge and advice has been one of the most positive experiences I have endured throughout this whole process. Thank you will never be enough! I highly recommend.

I have been overly impressed at the service offered by Miles & Barr, particularly Debbie Thwaites - the senior sales progressor.
Debbie has been constantly in contact throughout the purchase of my first property, has chased things up on my behalf and has always been quick to reply to messages/questions that I've sent her.
Would highly recommend.

In safe hands

We interviewed several local estate agents before deciding who to work with, and Judith Simpson from Miles & Barr stood out as by far the most approachable and professional. From our first meeting, we felt confident that we were in good hands.

James Perks did an excellent job negotiating the sale price, while Becky White was our main point of contact throughout the process. Becky always kept us up to date, was incredibly efficient and on the ball, and made sure we knew exactly where things stood. Alice was also extremely helpful, as was Giuseppe. In fact, every member of staff we dealt with was friendly, professional and a pleasure to work with.

As anyone who has bought or sold a property knows, the conveyancing process can be stressful at times, but throughout it all we felt reassured by the team's experience and capable hands.

We won't be moving again for a very long time, but we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Miles & Barr to our friends and family. Thank you to everyone involved for helping us through the process.
