I had a really good experience with Oulsnam Barnt Green and I’d especially like to thank Sarah Kirk for all her help and support throughout the process. Sarah was professional, friendly, responsive and always went above and beyond to make everything as smooth and stress free as possible. Her communication was excellent and she was always quick to respond and keep me updated. I really appreciated the personal approach. I would highly recommend Sarah and the whole team at Barnt at Barnt Green. Excellent service from start to finish.

When selling my late father's house, we found the Barnt Green team to be professional, helpful and communication on all matters were prompt and informative. This review would not be complete without mentioning Sarah (Kirk). Throughout the whole process she was helpful, supportive and easy to talk to. Giving detailed feedback on viewings, useful tips and putting in a considerable amount of effort to ensure the sale went through with her kind and cheerful manner, always returning calls promptly. Due to Sarah the stressful process of selling our old family home was made so much easier.

They'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.

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.

Couldn’t recommend them enough

As the executor of my sister’s estate I needed to sell her property so it was a difficult time and Victoria, Debbie and Elisha were so helpful and although we had problems selling the property because Birmingham city council went out of their way to slow the process down and I lost a couple of buyers the ladies at Redditch were so encouraging and kept me informed every step of the way so I couldn’t recommend them enough.

Great Estate Agents!

We recently sold our house through Oulsnam Redditch and received a great service from start to finish. The initial visit from Victoria was excellent, very professional, friendly and down to earth, which immediately put us at ease. Everyone in the office that we spoke to throughout the process was really helpful and supportive. Special mentions to Deb, Elisha and Jeff for keeping everything moving and making the whole experience as straightforward and stress-free as possible. Thanks so much to the whole team, we really appreciate all your hard work!

We moved to using Oulsnam after a very bad experience with a competitor who covered the country, but were definitely not fine. In comparison, Shelbi at the team at the Barnt Green branch were excellent. The photos, listing, viewings, and updates were all much improved, and they have succeeded in securing a sale in a tough market. We wish we’d have used them from the start and would happily recommend.

Highly recommend

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.

Amazing Team to Sell a House With

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.

Brad went above and beyond from when we met him at the first house viewing to regular texts answering queries we had, to the negotiations and finally the purchase of our house. Once the sale had been agreed he kept us sane while delay after delay by solicitors and other people in the link changed dates, eventually joining in the excitement when we finally got the sale over the line. We cannot thank Brad and his company enough and would certainly recommend both to anyone looking at purchasing (or selling)

Great 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.

We've recently sold our property using Oulsnam Estate Agents Northfield

We've recently sold our property using Oulsnam Estate Agents, the Northfield Branch. From start to finish staff have been professional and supported us along with what can be a stressful process. Throughout the whole journey one member of staff in particular went above and beyond. Emily Perks, has been amazing!!! She was reassuring, explaining things at each step of the way. If there was something that we did not understand she would take the time to explain and reassure us. The service we received from Emily was very efficient always returning calls, queries chased up and responded too. There was always someone we could get hold of when we needed too in the office. We would highly recommend Oulsnam Northfield based on our experience. We used them in the past in Bromsgrove and had the same kind of service. Very happy.

Fantastic local estate agent

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.

A 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

Amazing service

We recently purchased our home through Oulsnams Bromsgrove and I wanted to leave a special thank you to Peter! 🏡✨ Buying a home can be so stressful, but Peter made it happen. Without his dedication, communication and determination, I truly believe our purchase would have fallen through. Nothing was ever too much trouble. 🙏 He is a huge asset and a real credit to Oulsnams. I cannot recommend both Peter and the Bromsgrove branch enough. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommended!

We recently completed the sale of our property through Oulsnam in Barnt Green, and I cannot speak highly enough of the service we received. From start to finish, the team were professional, supportive, and incredibly compassionate. Due to the sensitive nature of the sale, it was important for us to work with people who showed genuine care and understanding, and Oulsnam did exactly that. They handled everything with empathy, patience, and respect, never making us feel rushed or under pressure. Communication was clear and reassuring throughout the process, and their knowledge and experience helped make what could have been a very difficult time feel far more manageable. We felt truly supported every step of the way. I would highly recommend Oulsnam in Barnt Green to anyone looking for an estate agent who combines professionalism with genuine kindness and sensitivity. An outstanding service from a team who truly care.

We purchased with Robert Oulsnam and towards the completion we were all getting very stressed, especially with the people at the bottom of the chain, but Debbie at the Redditch branch was absolutely brilliant keeping us informed and getting in touch with people down the chain. I felt that Debbie made it an easier experience for us. Thank you Debbie

I first met Shelby, Sarah and Karen when I bought my property through them over 4 years ago. So when I decided to sell they were my preferred agent. They have been just amazing, so supportive and helpful with my sale which had its issues. They were always at the end of the phone and constantly keeping me updated. I cannot recommend Oulsnam Barnt Green highly enough. I’ll miss you all but so grateful you helped me in my sale and also assisted in the purchase of my lovely new home 🏡

Fantastic team

We had a brilliant experience with the Oulsnam Bournville team. The whole team were incredibly helpful and proactive during our sale and purchase, and particular thanks to Anna and Emma who were so supportive and helped us to secure an early viewing on a house we loved and eventually moved into. Great communication, the whole team was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. From personal experience estate agents can be frustrating to deal with. Oulsnam are the exception. We couldn't recommend them highly enough.

Jeff Field deserves a mention

Jeff Field deserves a mention, we viewed a property with him this afternoon and he carefully listened to our thoughts and what we were saying about the property and was able to direct us to view another property listed with Oulsnam. We really appreciate this customer service and the personal touch because we are travelling quite a journey to view properties in the Redditch area and it meant we could view a second home today without having to make an additional long journey! Thank you Jeff and thanks for showing us around both houses and for answering all of our questions 😊
