We’ve just completed after long delays in the chain. We couldn’t have asked for better estate agents (given we nearly chose the next big competitor). Very clear and professional approach from start to finish. Chris handled all difficult queries swiftly and kept us up to date when needed. Truly well run family business from this branch in Great Barr, who put their clients first! Highly recommended.

Chris, Katie, Sue, Natalie & all the team at Acres Estate Agent, Great Barr branch were so professional, communication skills amazing and they all worked very hard in this pandemic to sell our home. We are grateful to them all at this family run business for their dedication to the business and my husband & I would highly recommend them as the best agents in the local area. Their skills in promoting, encouraging viewings and ensuring everything, even down to the little details, was wonderful and ensured our journey was less stressful. Trusting we could hand everything over to them was incredible and we are for ever grateful to them all. Brilliant team of talent.

Chris and the team at Acres Great Barr were absolutely brilliant. I recommend them if you're considering selling your house. They sold our house and were very professional. The Team were fantastic to deal with and always kept us informed of progress. Chris put up with my constant phone calls and always dealt with our queries on time, (I actually miss our chats 😊). A Big Thanks to all the Acres team at Great Barr.

The sale of our house was dogged first by Brexit and then by Covid. We had troublesome purchasers who let us down and simultaneous frustration with the purchase of our new home. So, all in all, the experience was very stressful. None of this was caused by Acres, however, who were responsive and sympathetic throughout the year and a quarter it took to sell our house. The story had a happy ending. As Acres said, 'things will all work out in the end'.

Ive never written a review before but reading other reviews I felt it was only fair to mention the experience I had with Acres Four Oaks. I tried to arrange a viewing so called the office,the girl who answered the phone had a bright cheerful manner, she was extremely helpful and although the property I asked to view was sold, she offered me alternative properties. She was knowledgeable about the local area,friendly and polite.I asked her name so I could speak to her again and it was Liz, would highly recommend.

As a tenant for many years I have observed that whenever something works in their favour the communication is flawless. The other way round - you end up waiting a long time or you’re being ignored. RESPONSE: Yes please! I have been sent a contract renewal with rent increase with less than a month’s notice and when I pointed it out the reply was β€žit is in line with your contract” ...what does that that even mean? Also I have been waiting for a deposit refund for 3 weeks now and when I chased it last week I had no reply.NegativeResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

After calling the office to arrange a viewing on a property for sale, I was asked by the sales associate Liz if my property was sold, to which I replied β€œno I have not listed it” (as I am thinking of putting it on rent). Her reply was that she cannot arrange a viewing under that circumstance. I asked why, as I may or may not sell my property and instead rent it out. She aggressively replied with β€œwell you just said that you have not listed it!!” After explaining my intentions, to which her rather negative and dumbfounded attitude couldn’t bare to swallow, I decided to let it pass and try again with my wording. After finally getting my point across I then asked again to arrange a viewing. To which she now replied β€œdo you have proof of funding - a mortgage in principal ?!” I said β€œyou need that just to view a property?! You’re the only agent that’s ever asked that. Her reply - β€œyes, well it works for us!!” She was oblivious to the fact that I did not need a mortgage as I was a cash buyer. So in a nutshell a house me and my wife wanted to view and potentially purchase, was lost out on due to Liz not allowing us to view and property they have for sale. Even though the property has been on sale for quite a while and has been reduced in price recently. At this point I realised I was talking to a narcissist individual who obviously did not want a potential sale or even hit their targeted viewing figures. The only positive I can take from this experience was that I was not singled out, as from a number of previous reviews Liz seems to be quite a catch. If you are planning to sell your property, I would definitely not recommend this place! I know I won’t.NegativeQuality, Professionalism

Agent replied Β· 10 June 2024

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of your experience, i am most sorry to note the comments, and will address these. We are of course seeking to protect our clients from the Covid outbreak following government guidelines, and clients instructions on access for viewings, along with most agents giving access to buyers that are in a processable position thus reducing the numbers of visitors to property, and so reducing risk for both our vendors or staff if attending appointments. Clearly the way this has been explained has not been ideal, for which i apologise of course. I appreciate your position changed from not having marketed to not needing to but sometimes, in these circumstances confirmation of this is needed to reassure our clients that we are following their instruction on processable client access, as it can be unusual for a buyers position to change so fundamentally. Thank you once more for taking the time to post here, i am sorry the conversation did not come across well, and for the frustration caused. Nigel Deekes - Partner.

Thank you for your review / star rating, i was very sorry to see the level provided. If there are any specific issues you would like to discuss please feel free to contact me. The team at Sutton always work their hardest to ensure the best results possible for our clients, the owners, and unfortunately this can be at odds with a buyers view when interested as appears to have been the case here, be that price, or timings etc. Kind regards Nigel Deekes Partner.
