GoogleI cannot recommend Brogan Wallace highly enough! Throughout my accommodation journey, Brogan has been incredibly helpful, professional, and responsive. From communicating effectively with my landlord to helping ensure maintenance issues were addressed, Brogan has always been there to provide support and keep me informed.
What really stands out is the excellent communication and genuine willingness to help. Any concerns or questions were handled promptly and professionally, making the whole experience much easier and less stressful.
Thank you, Brogan, for your outstanding support and dedication. Your excellent customer service has made a real difference, and I truly appreciate everything you have done. A well-deserved 5 stars!

TrustpilotThey're liars
They're liars. In March 2026, they told me a terraced house in Cedar Rd had gated access, or a right-of-way (ROW), to & from the rear garden. It was in writing, told verbally & confirmed on two viewings. There was no ROW. During the buying process my lawyers told me no such ROW existed. The ROW was reciprocal for houses either side to carry out maintenance. In other words no ROW for taking out your garden rubbish. I pulled the sale. I am now taking Oulsnam & the seller to court to recover the £1286 these lies have cost.
This is a reply to Oulsnam's response. Yes you did deceive. There is no ROW. & Oulsnam knew there was no ROW, but still lied. The reason, a gated access is a valuable selling point.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We are naturally disappointed to read your comments and strongly dispute the suggestion that anyone at Oulsnam acted dishonestly.
Throughout the transaction, we relayed the information provided to us by the seller and made it clear that all legal matters, including rights of way, are subject to verification by the conveyancing process. As is often the case with property purchases, your solicitor raised enquiries and interpreted the legal documentation before you made the decision not to proceed.
We categorically reject the allegation that we misled you in any way and we would also like to note that the access to the rear of the property has since been made physically clearer following works carried out by the local authority.
We wish you all the best for the future.

TrustpilotExtremely disappointing
My experience with this letting agency was very disappointing.
At the end of my tenancy, they attempted to deduct £280 for cleaning, despite the independent check-out inventory repeatedly stating the property was in "otherwise clean condition" and recording "N/A" where it asked whether the carpets required cleaning. The justification given was that the incoming tenant has asthma and requested an additional clean. While I sympathise with the new tenant's circumstances, I do not believe this is a reasonable basis for charging the outgoing tenant when the independent inventory did not identify excessive dirt or pet hair.
They also sought to charge £380 for staircase works. The check-out report only noted minor paint chipping and "marks and scuffs age related", yet the invoice was for making good and repainting the entire staircase. I offered two reasonable settlements, including £200 towards the repair, both of which were rejected.
The undisputed portion of my deposit was returned, but the agency was unwilling to reach a fair compromise on the disputed charges, leaving me with no option but to refer the matter to the Tenancy Deposit Scheme for independent adjudication.
I appreciate that landlords are entitled to recover the cost of genuine damage, but I expected deductions to be supported by the independent inventory and to be reasonable and proportionate.
Luckily the result of the TDS dispute was fair and found mostly in my favour.
Finally, I would like to add how unhelpful Jackie has been throughout this process. Her sarcastic comments were really not needed.
Based on my experience, I would advise future tenants to carefully document the condition of the property throughout their tenancy and be prepared to challenge any deductions they believe are unjustified.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you were dissatisfied with your experience.
As a managing agent, we have a duty to present to both landlord and tenant any proposed deposit deductions supported by the check-in and check-out reports, invoices and other relevant evidence. We do not make the final decision where an agreement cannot be reached between the parties.
In this instance, agreement could not be achieved despite discussions regarding the proposed deductions, and the matter was therefore referred to the Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS) for independent adjudication. This is precisely the purpose of the deposit protection process, providing an impartial assessment where there is a genuine dispute. We fully respected the adjudicator's decision and ensured the deposit was distributed accordingly.
Whilst we appreciate that you disagree with aspects of the landlord's claim, it is important to recognise that differences in interpretation of inventory reports are not uncommon, which is why the independent adjudication process exists.
We are sorry that you felt our communication fell below your expectations. We always aim to deal with disputes professionally and courteously, and we take feedback regarding customer service seriously.
We wish you all the best in your future home.

GoogleMy family and I had a very pleasant experience with Ms Shania Benton, a Senior Property Manager at Robert Oulsnam and Company, throughout my rental agreement. Shania is continuously kind and personable, fostering a welcoming and courteous environment that facilitates discussion. She is always willing to listen, answer quickly, and explain things thoroughly, making interactions with her feel both professional and friendly.
Her professionalism is most visible in how she addresses maintenance issues. Any concerns that arise are addressed quickly and efficiently, with clear updates provided throughout the process and contractors scheduled in a timely manner. Maintenance requests are addressed seriously and resolved to a high standard, giving us real reassurance as renters. Overall, her supportive, organised, and proactive approach has made renting the property a simple and stress-free process.

Oulsnam took over my tenancy last year from another agent after both myself and my landlord were having difficulties with another agent. Darren was extremely helpful during the switchover which made things a lot easier!
Shania has been my property manager and she's been fantastic. It's been a pleasure dealing with Shania after having such an awful experience elsewhere.
The office itself also has a nice atmosphere.
I would definitely recommend Oulsnam as an agency and wouldn't hesitate using them again in the future.

Michelle and team were extremley honest and communicated well. They made me feel supported at the time of selling my house (as we all know selling a house isn't the easiest thing to do). The photos & advert they did of my place were extremely well done. Managed to get a great buyer within a month! I trusted them with my house keys when I moved away and I really felt like my property was in good hands. Fees were reasonable as well. My parents sold their house through them a year before me and I would recommend them to anyone I know who's selling! Thank you for being incredible.

TrustpilotGreat local knowledge and a personal touch
From our first meeting through to the advice on photos and the final listing, it was clear that Oulsnam’s professional approach is ahead of the competition. Georgie Cole, their Senior Valuer, was particularly helpful in keeping the chain together. She was proactive and a consistently friendly voice at the end of the phone, which gave me a lot of confidence whenever I had a query.
The listing itself looked great, and her recommendation of a video tour instead of a 360 tour worked well to show the property's proportions accurately. Georgie is knowledgeable on the locality, and her commitment was evident when she helped me clear the space for photographs and kept things moving with the sellers' legal team near the end. I’ve already recommended them to a passer-by who saw the sign outside, and I’m very grateful to the whole team for their hard work.

Fantastic local estate agent, the staff have been great from viewing properties to finally collecting the keys to our new home last week. The staff were always professional, polite and helpful with any questions or assistance I needed throughout the purchasing process. All staff were personable and very friendly, special mention to Alison who really did make a stressful process manageable and who generally seemed to care. Alison was always happy to advise and seemed truly happy when I went to her to collect the keys. Thank you Alison for all your help, and to all at Oulsnam.

TrustpilotA Quick House Sale
House sale went very smoothly, probably helped by the fact that there wasn't a complicated chain. I approached Oulsnams, who had done a previous house valuation for me. Victoria and the team were very helpful and efficient in dealing with the sale. Marketing of the property was done quickly to get the property out there. The second viewing provided an acceptable offer which I took.
Oulsnam's suggested a company called Breezemove, who provide information on a selection of conveyancing solicitors with cost details. This was very useful, as these solicitors were geared to getting the completion done quickly. If I had chosen a local solicitor I don't think it would have completed anywhere near as quick. From accepting the offer to completion was two months.
Thanks to Vicki, Debbie, Elisha and team for a job well done.
Would definitely recommend Oulsnams

TrustpilotA Difficult Journey Made Easier by Emma
Our sale and purchase has been one of the most stressful experiences we’ve ever been through, lasting several months and involving delays that were largely outside Oulsnam’s control.
Throughout it all, Emma Sutton has been exceptional. She kept us updated, chased matters relentlessly, and was always honest about where things stood. Even when there was very little progress to report, she never left us wondering what was happening and always responded promptly to our emails and calls.
What really stood out was that Emma genuinely cared. She understood how stressful the situation had become for us and worked tirelessly to keep the transaction moving. We always felt that she was on our side and doing everything within her power to achieve a successful outcome.
Buying and selling property can be incredibly frustrating, but having someone like Emma fighting your corner makes all the difference.
Thank you, Emma, for your professionalism, patience and persistence. We genuinely don’t think we would have reached the finish line without you.

TrustpilotA positive honest team.
I contacted Oulsnam as many properties around mine had sold quickly for a good price.
The valuation was surprising, and much more than I had expected, I had fast viewings and an initial over priced offer, which was withdrawn a couple of weeks later.
Undaunted the agent pressed on keeping me in the loop at all times, finances generally were not good, the oil price’s rose, and dreadfully wet weather all conspired against us, but Oulsnam kept me going, luckily I had the time to allow for these set backs, dozens of viewings later, and a reduction in price, saw a cash buyer, essential as part of an extension was only of single brick thickness, unknown to me, but difficult as far as a mortgage was concerned.
Much negotiation later led to a firm offer and a sale.
Oulsnam supported me and kept me buoyant throughout the process, all the Agents were very friendly and positive, which led to an eventual sale I’m sure.
A wonderful team, with an excellent leader.
Thank you.

TrustpilotOulsnam's - fantastic service - Thankyou.
Oulsnam's estate agents were very professional, courteous and fast to reply to everything we asked of them when selling our property. Our dedicated agent was Angela who was everything expected from an estate agent. Alongside the sale of the property, we also had the probate process running at the same time. Particular issues were handled with a very caring attitude. The family would like to thank Oulsnam's and in particular Angela for everything they did for us, from the fantastic sales brochure to regular visits to the property during the sale process. I have no hesitation in recommending Oulsnam's for their wonderful services over the last 4 months.

TrustpilotNot even worth one star
Not even worth one star! I’m writing this on behalf of my sister who I have had to physically hold to stop her having a nervous breakdown after the completion of the sale of her house by Oulsnam failed to go through. Removal van had taken the furniture, solicitors informed us the money was being transferred, so we went to the new property and awaited confirmation that the money was in my sister’s account. And waited; and waited. Solicitors finally told us that the Contract Completion had not gone through! Removal van took the furniture away; the seller of her new property was furious and Oulsnams response -“why hadn’t she dropped the keys off”. WHY would anyone relinquish the keys to their property when the sale had not gone through. Completion did go through the following day - the reason for the delay was the bank undertaking a spot check - the only reason we can think of for this was because the buyer had informed Oulsnam that he was making a significant cash deposit towards the purchase. So knowing that; and knowing that the banks scrutinise cash transactions closely, why was there no contingency in place to accommodate a potential hold up and subsequent failure to complete on the due date. No apology has been given. But they were very quick to tell her she had to release the keys as she was breaking the law by not doing so!
Sue · 3 October 2026
Agent replied · 10 October 2026
We are sorry to hear that the circumstances surrounding the completion of the sale caused distress. However, we do feel it is important to clarify the role of the estate agent in the completion process, as several points raised in this review are outside the control of Oulsnam.
The transfer of purchase funds is entirely a matter between the purchaser’s bank and the solicitors acting on the transaction. Estate agents have no control over when funds are released, how long a bank takes to process a payment, or whether a bank carries out additional security checks. We are therefore unable to put contingency arrangements in place for potential banking delays, as these are matters outside our control.
Our role on the day of completion is to facilitate the handover of the keys once we have been advised that legal completion has taken place. We are not involved in transferring the funds or confirming that money has reached the seller’s personal bank account.
It is also important to clarify the position regarding the keys. Once legal completion has taken place, ownership of the property passes to the purchaser. At that point, the estate agent is legally obliged to release the keys to the new owner. We cannot retain keys because a seller has not yet completed on their onward purchase, nor can we make the handover conditional upon funds subsequently reaching the seller’s personal bank account.
We appreciate that moving home can be extremely stressful, particularly when an onward purchase is involved. However, the delay described in this review was caused by the banking process and was outside the control of Oulsnam. We are disappointed that the review suggests otherwise, as our team acted in accordance with the legal completion process and the instructions received from the solicitors.
