What do customers say?

Reviewers often describe the team as friendly, professional and easy to reach during a sale. Several say staff kept them informed at every stage, including when a management company or chain caused delays. Some clients who moved from larger chains say the independent approach felt more personal.

Named staff come up often, especially in sales and lettings follow-up. Reviewers mention help with repairs for rented flats, quick responses to emails about maintenance, and calm support through stressful house sales and a bereavement-related sale. A few note that replies can take a while when staff are busy.

The team lead a team reviewers describe as professional and genuinely local, with detailed knowledge of Birmingham's market. Buyers report feeling guided rather than pushed, kept informed at every stage, and supported through complex transactions. They handle lettings with equal speed, resolving tenant issues same-day and maintaining relationships with long-term overseas investors. Sales typically move quickly, though one reviewer noted months on a hard-to-sell property despite the team's full effort. Lettings tenants praise quick electrician callouts and rapid problem-solving. Multiple reviewers highlight transparent pricing, honest feedback on property value, and staff who make stressful processes manageable.

Staff at this agency consistently earn praise for warmth and quick replies; customers report feeling supported through sales and first purchases. Several reviewers highlight specific team members who took time to explain things and chase progress. Against this, a handful experienced serious problems: properties marketed as freehold turned out to have short leases during conveyancing, leading to withdrawn deals and legal costs. One buyer also reported missed calls and limited feedback on viewings over an 11-week period.
