TrustpilotMelissa Knight
I had the pleasure of working with Melissa Knight on multiple occasions while searching for a property, and I couldnβt be more impressed with her outstanding customer service. From the very first interaction, she demonstrated professionalism, attentiveness, and a genuine passion for helping clients find the perfect home.
Melissa was incredibly knowledgeable about the properties she showed me, offering valuable insights and patiently answering all my questions. Her friendly and approachable manner made the entire experience enjoyable, and she went above and beyond to ensure I felt informed and confident throughout the process. Thank you once again for your amazing customer service Melissa.

GoogleWe recently bought our first property through Burchell Edwards and couldnβt be happier with the service we received. The entire process was seamless, and the professionalism of the team was outstanding from start to finish.
A special thanks goes to our mortgage advisor, Carly Trueman, whose expertise and guidance made the process so much easier to navigate. We also want to acknowledge Alex, Louisa, and Richard, who were all incredibly supportive and ensured we were well informed at every stage.
Buying your first home can feel daunting, but the team made us feel confident and reassured throughout. We are thrilled with the outcome and so grateful to have gone through this journey with them. Highly recommended!

One star is too much for this absolute shambles of a business. Their Tamworth branch are lazy and inept. I have left numerous messages and they never call back. When you do speak to someone they tell you itβs another branch who pass you straight back to Tamworth. I hope they tell their landlords that they let for how they canβt be bothered to let their properties.

If I could give a minus number I would. DO NOT WORK WITH THIS AGENCY! We were mislead and told incorrect information in order to sign a lease. There is no effective communication between the landlord and agent. They tell you one thing on the phone and another on email to cover their own backs for legal action. They don't answer calls and DO NOT admit to their mistake. Stay clear do not get involved - particularly the Castle Bromwich Branch

TrustpilotSelling your home? Go elsewhere!
Selling your home? Go elsewhere!!!
This was an absolutely appalling experience. We chose this agent over cheaper options because they promised speed and efficiency, instead, it took over 3 weeks just to get our property live, only after relentless chasing. No initiative, no urgency - they didn't even bother to put up a "For Sale" sign.
Once listed, they secured zero viewings. Then, after a couple of weeks without warning, we noticed they had removed our property from all platforms and lied about it when questioned. Rude, dismissive, unapologetic and completely dishonest.
The basics were a mess: we were wrongly told an EPC wasn't needed, the listing description was weak, and the photos were out of order and failed to capture key period victorian features.
We even had friends and family call as "mystery shoppersβ - calls were rarely answered, and when they were, they were told to call back as only lettings staff were available. Voicemails to try organise viewings went unanswered entirely.
Delays, misinformation, terrible communication, and zero accountability. A complete waste of time. Avoid.

TrustpilotAVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS
I am currently renting a property in Derby city centre managed by Connells/Burchell Edwards, and my experience has been extremely disappointing and, more recently, unacceptable.
At present, the property is uninhabitable. I have been dealing with a faulty toilet pump for over 12 weeks, despite reporting the issue promptly, which has now completely clogged and is unusable. I have also been unable to use the shower for the past 3 weeks due to a damaged bath. As a result, I have been forced to temporarily move out of the property, incurring significant disruption to my daily life, work, and wellbeing.
From the outset, the tenancy was problematic. Prior to moving in, I requested a second viewing to check appliances and general condition of the flat, which was refused. During my memorial viewing I stated that the place was dirty, but I was assured the property would be professionally cleaned; however, upon receiving the keys (after a two-hour delay caused by incorrect keys and no electronic fob to access the building) the flat was in a poor and unsanitary condition. Issues included visible mould around windows, dead insects throughout, mouldy food on the cooker and kitchen cabinets, unplumbed kitchen sink and broken sink pump, damaged and unsafe fittings including loose sockets and radiators, a covered smoke alarm, no locks on doors that were advertised as lockable, and general disrepair and waste left behind. They also advertised the building as having decent internet wired in, but this was not true as there is none available.
Although a maintenance contractor was eventually sent, it took weeks for the sink to be fixed, and in the end only some issues were addressed, leaving several unresolved which I had to sort myself. Some are still issues to this day despite repeated reports.
More recently, serious problems have been handled with a dreadful lack of urgency. A broken washing machine has taken 9 weeks to be arranged but has yet to be fitted. The ongoing toilet issue, caused by a faulty macerator pump that I reported on the first day of the fault, has still not been resolved after three months and has now completely failed, nearly flooding my bathroom. Furthermore, after reporting that the shower had broken when stepping in it, there was no response until I reported it again after 2 weeks, and I have since been informed that repairs are being postponed while the landlord seeks cheaper quotes. In the meantime, I remain without essential bathroom facilities in a property which I am paying full rent for.
Throughout this process, communication has been poor or nonexistent, and there has been little acknowledgment of the severity of these issues. I have not received a meaningful apology, and the lack of action has caused considerable stress and inconvenience to both my work and personal life.
Based on my experience, I would strongly advise you avoid this company at all costs.
