The team lead a team reviewers describe as professional and genuinely local, with detailed knowledge of Birmingham's market.

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serious problems: properties marketed as freehold turned out to have short leases during conveyancing, leading to withdrawn deals and legal costs.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.
