BEWARE- DO NOT USE. The only agent that charge the seller for photos. Before the house went live I was approx £400 out of pocket. Agreed to 12 weeks which suddenly changed to 20 weeks. The sales adviser left so M&B couldn’t confirm the agreed duration. The property was shelved. Not one person viewed in 20 weeks. Only communication was to ask us to reduce the price. It just wasn’t working. I asked to go multiple agents M&B refused outright. I asked to reduce the length of the contract which was also refused. I’m very confused why they still wanted the house on the books. I hoped the manager of the ramsgate branch would be sympathetic but no just rude. I finally went to the head office. This was a waste of time. Still not allowed to reduce the contract length. Miles & Barr are not the company they once were. The reviews clearly tell the story in black and white. I will never use them again. What a waste of 20 weeks.

Avoid Miles & Barr at all costs! Arranging a viewing is easy but once you get past that you are met with the incompetent applications team. To say Shannon was rude, unpleasant, incapable and unprofessional is being kind. Rhian lied and assured me that the property that it would be cleaned only to get they keys and it was still filthy. Miles & barrs standards are clearly shocking, not to mention their miserable faces when you, unfortunately, have to go in there and see them in person! God knows what they’re own houses look like. Don’t waste your time! Especially if the property you’re looking to rent is owned by the Turnstone group Ltd. I have been in one of their properties for 6 months and still no communication from them. I've even spoke to Miles and Barr about it and they can’t seem to help.

Not a fan of these agents. Very un organized.

The worst experience I have ever received from an estate agency, no care for the customers would recommend you use a different agency as this one will leave you waiting without a care

Just had a bad experience with lettings… booked in for a viewing, they confirmed it twice with me (including the day before) so I booked my train ticket from London. Then on the train this morning on the way to the viewing they called to say the property was no longer available. Poor communication, which cost me precious time and expense. I will not use Miles and Barr again.

Terrible experience viewing a property with George from the Ramsgate branch. He forgot the appointment, turned up late, took a phone call while showing me around and failed to let me know that the property had been increased in price (!) to name but a few of the problems. George was not forthcoming with information and his general manner was disinterested, lazy and frankly rude.

Went to view a property at the agreed time. The time was then changed to 30 mins later, 10 mins before the agreed time (informed via email not phone call). We spoke to the office staff who seemed unaware that this has happened. We spoke to the agent outside the property who said we had missed our original appoint (the one they changed). No apology was made. We asked if we could see the property quickly as we were already there. The agent didn't seem to want know, and made a feeble excuse about not having time. He came off as a disingenuous in his response and disinterested in our time and business. He didn't seem to care that the company he represents had wasted our time and money and didn't seem to think that asking us to wait a further hour was anything less than an insult. He barely looked up from his phone during his monotone "I understand but.." spiel. I understand that agents don't have to care, but I think they should at least give the appearance of doing so in the interest of the company they represent. Furthermore, if adjustments to the scheduling need to be made, these should be given in good notice and not via email 10 mins before the previously agreed appointment time. A poor experience from a company who don't seem to mind about wasting their clients' time and effort. Needless to say, we won't be looking to view any further properties with them or recommending to others in the same position.

Dear Mr Burns, Following an internal review of our computer software system it appears that the email sent amending your viewing time was a glitch. We apologise for the inconvenience that this caused, and we are investigating this error further with our software provider. We understand that alternative viewing appointments were offered but these may not have been convenient. We endeavour to deliver positive customer service and we are saddened to read that this was not your experience. We welcome the opportunity to discuss this further with you if you would like to contact us at communications@milesandbarr.co.uk. Regards, Allison Turner – Lettings Operations Director.
