Dealings with Miles & Barr

Relatively early days in my relationship with M&B (after the transition from Regal Lettings ) but in my dealings with them so far, they have been very professional and efficient.
My recent primary contact, Nicole Rene-Clarke, was on point, very personable and a pleasure to deal with & I'm sure will continue the great work, following her recent move to the Folkestone office. Her colleagues Charlotte Dyer and Charlotte Thomas before that, also deserve a mention for their competence and professionalism.

I had an excellent experience working…

I had an excellent experience working with Rebecca on the sale of my house. She was incredibly friendly, approachable, and supportive throughout the entire process. Rebecca kept me consistently updated at every stage, which made everything feel smooth and stress-free. Her communication and dedication really stood out, and I genuinely couldn’t have done it without her help. Thank you, Rebecca!

My house sale experience

My house went on the market in Sept. 2025 and sold within a week. The marketing pictures of the house were very good. Whenever I liaised with Miles & Barr, the staff were friendly and professional. After the ‘sold’ sign went up, I was contacted by the Sales Progressor, Emily. She contacted me weekly to update me as to how things were going, any delays and to advise me on anything I might need to. I found this relationship very worthwhile. Overall, it has been a positive experience apart from the length of time the process took(6 months) due to unavoidable issues outside of Miles & Barr. I was told the process could take 12- 20 weeks, which I appreciated.

“First-time buyer, fully supported — Miles & Barr made the difference.”

I bought my first home this year through Miles & Barr and, if I’m honest, I felt quite overwhelmed by the whole process at the start.

I needed guidance and patience, and the Margate branch was excellent from the very first enquiry call. The sales team listened, understood, and took the time to have 1–1 conversations with me. I was invited to their offices as I found online administration a little difficult, they helped me organise my paperwork, explaining what would happen next, and offered reassurance. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble.

Once my offer was accepted, Louise Daly stepped in on sales progression — and this is where the strength of the Miles & Barr system really came into its own.

Since 18 December, Louise has been involved in over 88 emails across the chain. She was consistently friendly and professional, kept communication clear, and was always completely on it. When I was promised a call from her, it came — I found her integrity outstanding.

This wasn't just a big name business getting a sale over the line — this was Louise and her team doing things properly and supporting everyone through what can be a very pressured experience. That included both myself and thoughtful consideration for the seller, with multiple visits arranged during the paperwork stage.

I would absolutely recommend Louise Daly and Miles & Barr. If you’re fortunate enough to be buying a home where they are managing the sales progression, you’ll feel the benefit of that from day one — just as I did.
Thank you all, especially Louise.

On behalf of my friend .....

Miles and Barr, above and beyond.

Miles and Barr offered excellent professional and expert service from start to finish, I would particularly like to thank Debbie Thwaites who kept the deal on track from start to finish. Can’t recommend this agency enough.

An unsatisfactory experience

We recently bought a flat through Miles and Barr and were disappointed by the service they offered. The person who showed us around multiple viewings knew nothing at all about the properties and couldn't answer any questions. When we did find a property we wanted to buy the Sales Progressor (our contact point during the purchase process) was very disengaged. She was rarely proactive, slow to respond to our calls and never seemed to actually listen to our concerns. The whole purchase was painfully slow and although some of this was due to delays with solicitors, we never felt that the Miles and Barr staff did anything to help facilitate the process.

Milles and Barr took advantage on me and ask me to sign the contract in office because they have no time to come to my office....once I done as a favour to come to them and do it they did not explain to me on any stage that if you sign in office you loose right to cancel contract within 14 days...when I tried to cancel contract as I found dream house somewhere else they did not want to cancel and thread me to charge their fees...so lost opportunity to byuy dream house...keep away from this scammer!!!

Reply from Miles & Barr

Thank you, Michal, for taking the time to leave us a review. We’re genuinely sorry to hear about the difficulties you’re experiencing with your intended purchase through another agent — we appreciate how stressful this situation must feel.
When you asked us to rearrange a time to take your property to market, we offered an alternative appointment day as well as the option to visit our office, as we always aim to be as flexible and supportive as possible. While we cannot influence or control the practices of the agent you are hoping to buy through, we can assure you that conditional selling is against the Estate Agents Act 1979.
Throughout this process, we have done our very best to help resolve matters amicably. We have even spoken directly with the developer of the property you wish to purchase to give you the best possible chance of securing the home you want. We remain more than happy to continue working with you and supporting you on your journey toward buying your next home, and we understand you are in contact with our senior branch manager who is doing everything they can to assist you.

Excellent service

Debbie Thwaites went above and beyond to get the sale of our property to exchange of contracts. She was sensitive to our circumstances (probate sale of my mum's house), supportive and has always responded promptly and dealt with any issues/concerns. I would highly recommend Miles & Barr having found all of the staff helpful and efficient.
