TWO ACQUISITIONS EXPAND MILES & BARR GROUP’S LETTINGS & PROPERTY MANAGEMENT DIVISION
East Kent’s leading estate agency, Miles & Barr Group acquired two established lettings and property management companies – Roger & Hambidge and Brettsletts. The acquisitions mean the independently owned Miles & Barr Group has entered for the first time both the mid-Kent property management and block management markets.
The integration of Roger & Hambidge and Brettsletts marks a decisive moment in the company’s future growth plans as it actively expands its lettings portfolio.
Simon Thompson, Lettings Group Director at Miles & Barr Group, commented: “The purchase of Roger & Hambidge is an exciting venture for us because it has 150 years of block management know-how and it is this knowledge that adds a complementary and exciting specialism to Miles & Barr’s proposition.”
Roger & Hambidge, located in Westgate-on-Sea, is a well-established independent block management business. Roger & Hambidge’s former owners, Jo and Paul King, will continue to contribute to the business on a consultancy basis. Miles & Barr’s block management services will focus on the management of residential blocks providing a variety of specialised services on behalf of freeholders and the lessees.
“Growth of our established property management division is also a high-priority for us over the coming years. We have a strong foothold across East Kent, so we decided to look to a new region within the county and the purchase of Brettsletts provided an unmissable chance to establish our presence in and around Tunbridge Wells. Both acquisitions create a business first for Miles & Barr and we are excited to see them contribute to the steady and ambitious expansion of the company;” commented Simon Thompson.
The acquisition of Bretstletts, a boutique lettings agency started by a husband and wife duo, will add further managed properties to Miles & Barr’s extensive portfolio. Brettsletts’ founding partners will also provide continuing consultancy services while the company transitions to Miles & Barr Lettings.

Miles & Barr, an independent property group, is a specialist in selling and buying homes, lettings, property management, relocations, financial services, commercial sales and lettings, as well as conveyancing. It has three dedicated letting branches, located in Thanet, Canterbury and Dover, as well as 12 sales office across East Kent. The company helps existing and new tenants find their dream home.
