GoogleWorst experience I have ever experienced from an estate agent. One of the ladies at the Four Oaks Branch was very condescending and made me feel like I didn't know what I want. She gave me wrong information which showed me she wasn't very knowledgeable.
Both sellers and buyers should be vary of this persons attitude.

GoogleWhat a strange experience buying my first flat from acres four oaks.I never normally write a review but just picked up my keys yesterday and what a anti climax that was!! they would have been better off just throwing me the keys π I just got this cold arrogant vibe from the staff especially Liz Merrington I initially put it down to snobbery as I was purchasing a flat for 265k and they do deal with million pound plus properties but there arrogant attitude is more sinister in my opinion but one plus point was Louise who I have to admit went the extra mile and was very efficient and she was the only one I never got to meet but she deserves a big thank you hence 2 stars but if not for Louise I would honestly give 0 stars.

GoogleIf youβre not sure about using a local estate agent to handle your sale or rental then be mindful of all the things that could go wrong, especially once a deal is agreed and handling all enquiries and viewings.
Without the team at acres, my time and effort would be strained and I would not have been assured at every step. I was most impressed by their support progressing the sale once agreed as well as the team being responsive to answer calls and emails quickly and professionally.

GoogleI rented a property with the Tamworth Branch about 15 years ago, which I have now discovered is no longer open.. I wonder why!! The then manager never returned my deposit, even though there was nothing wrong with the property when handed back. And all the rent had been paid on time, without any problems. I was young an this was the first property I had rented, so didn't feel there was anything I could do at the time. Can't say it has ever made me confident with estate agents since, and I would never use Acres out of principle now.NegativeResponsiveness, Professionalism

GoogleVery long chain that fell through several times and took almost a year to complete. We had to market our property 3 times and each time Acres went above and beyond with a sale achieved in less than a week every time.
Dawn chased the progress of the chain regularly and informed us of any developments. A service we found other agents donβt provide.
Louise has a very positive approach is great at communicating and her persistence to ensure our sale completed was valuable in the latter stages of the process when emotions ran high. Canβt thank her enough for that personal touch.
Nigel is very professional and had to step in at some very critical moments. He always delivers and is honest.
Liz runs a tight ship and negotiated well on our behalf for our sales and purchase however sheβs a very busy lady and doesnβt have time for the details or the emotional parts of the journey. Lovely though!
Finally Becky always friendly and helpful.
We appreciate it was a very long process of almost a year until we finally completed. We moved during the stamp duty holiday which was a busy and stressful time for everyone involved including the Acres team.
You canβt predict the future actions of the person you sell to or buy off, some people were just simply RUDE! For us it was a positive outcome and Acres were as happy as us (if not a little relieved) that our sale finally completed.
The reason we gave four stars, communication failed at times as weβve mentioned it was a long and difficult chain trying to complete at a very busy time which may have impacted on our experience. We would use them again.

GoogleAcres have been fantastic with helping me through the sale of my mother's flat. The sale has been difficult, taking 18 months to complete. We were initially with another agent but after 12 months and two previous sales collapsing we changed to Acres. Right from the outset the service was extremely efficient. Nigel dealt with the initial visit, demonstrating his breadth of knowledge of the housing market in the area. The paperwork was completed very quickly and 7 viewings were swiftly arranged to take place on the day the flat went on sale. As a result we received full asking price offers plus one over asking price on that day.
Becky and, latterly, Louise dealt with the sale from then on. They ensured I was kept up to date at every stage, maintaining excellent contact with my conveyancer during the process and providing emotional support as well during some difficult moments. I can only echo a previous reviewer who commented that some people are just rude. That was our unfortunate experience but Acres remained completely professional throughout ensuring the sale went through on time in the end. I wholeheartedly recommend Nigel and his team and would use them again.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

GoogleI purchased my house through Acres in 2018 and have just exchanged the sale with them and complete this week. From the outset they were very professional, courteous and listened to feedback and gave sound advice.
The house went on the market 3 times in the end due to factors outside of Acres control each time they had new viewings immediately and adjusted the value to capture the market rate each time. It has taken 6-months to go through from the last purchaser to now due to the upper chain, however Acres ensured that all parties in the sale were kept up to date and the chain remained active.
I couldn't recommend them enough for their professionalism and outstanding commitment to the customer. I will definitely use them again should I move back to Sutton Coldfield.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Nigel the owner visited us to value our property. His in depth knowledge of the local area and the housing market was hugely impressive. He instilled much confidence in us from the word go. He and his team delivered on their expectations and the communication process from start to finish was very easy. Nigel and his team were always very approachable.
