Agent
Local Office: 01304 202111 | Email DirectlyI chose to work in the industry as I have always had a keen interest in property, and I thought that helping people find the right property for themselves would be very rewarding.
I find that Miles and Barr are a very forward thinking company and often come up with ideas that keep themselves as the leading agents in their towns. Attention to detail is something I appreciate, and I think the company does a great job of making sure we can provide the best possible service to our vendors and applicants.
In my spare time I enjoy taking time away on short breaks in different cities. I used to be a professional golfer, and so I still occasionally dust off the sticks and play, although not as well as I used to!

Frequently Asked Question’s
Have a read through our FAQs, you may find the answer to what you're looking for quicker than you think.
There are a few costs involved in selling your property:
Estate agent commission – The commission fees are payable once your estate agent sells your property and the contracts have been signed. The charge is a percentage of the sale price and VAT. Your estate agent will make you aware of fees you’ll incur in your preliminary meeting.
Energy Performance Certificate – You must have commissioned an EPC before your property can go on the market. We can organise your EPC – Energy Performance Certificate, just get in touch with your local branch to sort this out or call us on 01304 626 444.
If the property is your main home, you will not have to pay Capital Gains Tax so long as you satisfy certain requirements. If you are selling a property that is not your main home it is more than likely that Capital Gains Tax will incur.
Your property will only continue to be viewed depending on the offer and your preferences. Will I have to pay Capital Gains should be the start of the question beneath.
The buyer is responsible for paying the Stamp Duty.
So long as you have granted us access to your property your presence is not required. We accompany all viewings and it is worth knowing that potential buyers usually feel more relaxed if the owner is not present.
Your Title Deeds are the proof that you own your property. They are usually held by your bank or building society if you have a mortgage and your solicitor will obtain the deeds and make a copy for the buyer’s solicitor.
Who will conduct the viewings on my property once it’s on the market and when will they occur?
We will offer to accompany all viewings during our opening hours. Our opening hours aim to meet the requirements of all our clients, we are open seven days a week for viewings.
