Miles and Barr (Deal) made my selling and buying a stress free experience. Everything went smoothly from start to finish with the invaluable help of Emily Strickler. From the day she introduced herself to the day of completion, Emily kept me informed of everything that was going on with regular phone calls. She answered any questions that I didn't understand. Thank you, also, to Luke that showed me around other properties and accompanied me to my final house on a couple of occasions.
Thankyou Miles and Barr. Highly recommended.

Excellent communication was key!

Working with Miles and Barr has been a pleasure, right from the start. We met Scott who was clear and upfront about everything. The team supported veiwings throught and always kept us informed. Debbie Thwaites continued the excellent support in a professional manner and keeping us informed throughout. Without Debbie driving through essential communication with the buyers solicitors and our own. Without this communication to all parties, being key to keeping things on track, we would have been lost. Thank you to the team and especially Debbie.

Unsure

Unsure. Starting off the selling process but costs seem excessive. A marketing fee of £299 and checks for another £60 seems excessive. Is this normal? Debating changing

Emily Stickler

We are first time buyers, and had Emily Stickler managing our house purchase for us. From start to finish, Emily was fantastic, always chasing third parties for updates and keeping us in the loop more so than our solicitors did! Couldn’t have asked for a better estate agent.
