TrustpilotOne star is too much for this absolute…
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 it’s another branch who pass you straight back to Tamworth. I hope they tell their landlords that they let for how they can’t be bothered to let their properties.

TrustpilotIf I could give a minus number I would
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

TrustpilotAbsolutely not worth one star
Absolutely not worth one star . Where do I start . We got treated worse than anybody possibly could . I can not believe the way we was treated and we are beyond hurt .We went for a property at Lakeland drive . So please be aware anybody reading this . Told the agent I have an Iva and my husband also has an Iva . However we were renting with daughter and son in law . Was told that was ok but would speak to landlord .Had a lovely phone call congratulating us that we had got the house . My daughter and son in law handed their keys back for flat (agent was aware ) they also have a six month baby girl etc . Was meant to move in on the 15th . Lack of communication . Excuse after excuse and delays .All the correct documentation was sent to referencing . We was told by the agent , it doesn’t matter if your references fails etc the landlord has signed us off and my daughter and son in laws references had passed and there joint income is more than enough.All tenancy agreements signed etc . Then we were called up on 16/08 saying we had failed referencing ??? And we couldn’t have the house .My husband didn’t have a right to rent . When we are renting now and we sent all documentation that was listed over. Also the agent said that the land lord didn’t know my husband has an Iva . Even though I told her and she stated it doesn’t matter land lords signed off !! My daughter and son in law and myself have enough income to cover it and that’s more than enough !!!Oh and the land lord wasn’t going to rent the property out he had changed his mind .However it’s now on right move and new property to let under burchell edwards . The agent even told me to give notice on my property ( so I did ) when I was upset with her on phone ( so I should be ) she stated it was her last day and she tried her best .She has left us all heart broken and it’s not the fact we have lost the house that hurts . It’s the way we have been treated .We also paid the holding deposit, but we can’t have it back because of my husbands right to rent . Which isn’t true at all .We feel beyond hurt and very confused. I can not believe the disgusting treatment we have had .The agent even had the cheek to say the landlord asked how the move went 15/08/ and she didn’t know how he would take the news that we hadn’t moved in ?? I explained this isn’t my fault . Trying to get in touch and help from somebody all day .They did not give a dam that they could have made a young couple and a baby homeless . Also the fact I have my notice on my property . All I was told was you can retract .They won’t be giving us back out holding deposit .My current land lords are disgusted and think we should be asking for compensation .We were mislead and lied too.We were so happy at the start . Agent was very friendly and helpful. We were honest about everything. Then suddenly things changed and we had excuse after excuse and communication wasn’t the same .We were constantly ringing and emailing hoping for some update and positive news.I hope nobody else gets treated the same way. It’s very unfair and heartless.

TrustpilotOur experience with Burchell Edwards…
Our experience with Burchell Edwards during the sale of our home was extremely disappointing. I wish I could give zero stars but unfortunately there is no such option.Initially, they seemed promising, but it quickly became apparent that their service was lacking. They rarely answer phone calls, and when they do, the staff often admit they are new and unsure how to assist. Attempts to speak with senior team members were futile; they were never available and never returned calls, emails, or voicemails.Moreover, they are not cheap either; our seller paid much less to another agent who were just brilliant. When we tried to chase them for updates, we were told not to chase and that they would respond when they had time, which never happened.There was no follow-up on the sale, and we had to chase all parties involved ourselves. The only call we received from Burchell Edwards was on completion day, after everything was sorted by us.In summary, do not use Burchell Edwards if you are serious in selling your property and unless you want the additional stress of managing everything yourself. Their service was not worth the hassle and added unnecessary frustration to an already stressful process.

TrustpilotVery dissappointed
Very dissappointed, my son and daughter in law let down, property on the market at £200k Offered £202k offer accepted and letter sent to them by Burchell Edwards, advised to use there mortgage advisor but there costs were high so they decided to use a independent advisor, after instructing them a week later they send a email to say the vendor has received a higher offer so here's your last chance to up your offer again, No deffinatly not, I hope they sleep well at night knowing how they affect young lives?

TrustpilotWorst estate agency I have experienced
Worst estate agency I have experienced. It takes 3 or 4 repeated call to get through to someone who will answer the call. Then usually you will be talking to an intern or trainee who know nothing about the queries you are raising, followed by a void promise that they will call back to you which will never happen. As a seller, you shall never use them, as they have a “smart” strategy to make you think they sold your property above market price by significantly undervalue your property, then put into market for people to view, meanwhile, as they short of hands or purely being lazy, they will push away dozens of potential buyer’s queries ( or simply not answer the call or email). You may get a price above asking price but that is because the original valuation is poor. Moreover, they will forcefully asking buyer to take on their recommend Connell broker to “get a better chance a win a bid”. If you are not using their broker, you probably won’t get the property even if you are offering good price.

TrustpilotWorse company for letting and selling
Worse company for letting and selling ! They take your money on management and never look after the property on lettings ! When tenant left , that was it , no support to get my money ! Did no checks even though promised 3 a year ! House was a tip when left and never got my money . Taking to ombudsman ! Definitely a bunch of liars ! My health has been affected by the nightmares I ve gone through with this company .selling aswell! They actually said that they told other agency that tenants were good payers so they d leave ! ( how shocking and unprofessional !) as they were going to try and sell property ( I couldn’t afford mortgage so needed to sell ) and tenants were being awkward . They had allowed tenants to change things to property without my approval! They had 3 dogs in the house and the way the tenants left the house was terrible !

TrustpilotNikita was absolutely amazing
Nikita was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She really did go above and beyond and nothing was ever to much. She was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, always got back to us when she said she would. She also is such a lovely girl, professional and friendly. I would highly recommend Nikita, she was an absolute delight to deal with. It really made the process stress free knowing I had someone reliable helping me. Would highly recommend Nikita. Could not fault in any way.

Totally incompetent branch Castle Brom, would not recommend this company. They have no idea about selling properties everything is guess work incorrect house description no apology just send me what needs amending ? Really isn’t that there job ?

TrustpilotAvoid them with all costs.
Avoid them with all costs.As a landlord I can say they are the worst agency. Would never use them again.I gave them 2 flats for rental. Had problems with both of them, both times.They only know how to take off your money but will not take care of your property.One of the flats had all bathroom tiles broken, had to change half of the kitchen that was brand new before giving them the flat.Did not even received the deposit.. They said (there is nothing we can do as we forgot to take dated photos before renting the flat).So.. after puting it together.. I paid more for fixings then I reiceived from rent.. Really bad customer service. Even made a complaint few months ago.. and nobody answered or called me back regarding it.

TrustpilotMy experience with Burchell Edwards'… Appalling and unprofessional
My experience with Burchell Edwards' fully managed service has been nothing short of appalling. What should have been a straightforward property management service became a constant cycle of mistakes, poor communication and repeated incompetence that consumed countless hours of my time.

TrustpilotExcellent Service!
Thank you to Emily and Eliza at Burchell Edwards Castle Bromwich. I bought this particular property 10 years ago from BE and the last tenant Emily found for me stayed for 7 years and left the property in very good condition. Emily has just found me 2 new lovely tenants. It must be sole destroying on occasion when so many viewing appointments are booked and tenants fail to show up , but thanks Emily for persevering! Emily always answers my emails and phone calls the same day or following day if she's out of the office. I am an experienced landlord with properties in Birmingham and the North East, I deal with several agents, but I would happily recommend the service I receive from Emily, Eliza and BE, thanks again!

TrustpilotHonestly the worst agency I have ever…
Honestly the worst agency I have ever dealt with. They never pick up the line. Ever. We made an application and have had to chase daily for updates. I honestly think they are a scam company at this point. Keiran was lovely at first but since they took our deposit have proven to be a nightmare. Saddest thing is all I want to have is an update on whether or not we can progress but the rare time we do get through we are told the landlord is in China and still has not gotten back to them. This was 5 days ago.

TrustpilotWorst estate agent I’ve ever…
Worst estate agent I’ve ever experienced. Tried to persuade us down the auction route and then quoted £3900 for a traditional sale, which was £1100 more than any other estate agent we contacted. Clearly thought they could take advantage of us but thankfully we are not novices and went elsewhere. Would never recommend them.

TrustpilotUse any other letting agents!
As a former tenant of two years, please do not use this letting agency to rent a property!! If I could have given zero stars, trust me, I would have.Absolutely awful customer service from when we first started to look at properties from Adam and Elyse, who we had to deal with in February 2020. Adam who I believe was the lettings manager at the time, was very rude to our heavily pregnant Sister-In-Law who lived in the area and very kindly said she would view the property on our behalf as we had to go back home to Essex. Elyse never even bothered to turned up to said viewing or even inform our SIL.Elyse seemed to know very little information on a property we first went to view and she just wasn't very helpful in general. We were doing a big move from Essex to Derbyshire and weren't able to view the property we did end up with. We were told a facetime with herself would be done or up-to-date pictures sent over, neither happened even after chasing. We were also told the property would be cleaned beforehand, this ended up being the previous tenant and they must have been blind because the bottles of half empty alcohol, uncooked rice, rubbish and MOULD left in cupboards was an absolute joke.Also Olivia Perchard and Alisya Cowley who we have had the unfortunate pleasure of having to speak to during our time of trying to move from the property and searching for a new one these last few months, has been an experience I don't recommend. From having a home check done by Alisya and saying everything is absolutely fine (I have an email to confirm this), speaking to Olivia as new viewings of the property had to be held and once again having to inform Burchell Edwards that we have a severe case of mould throughout the whole property and being told they'd report this again and to just clean as much as possible before anyone new viewed the property (basically just hide the problem instead of resolving it). We had been reporting everything through their online portal for the last two years, had at least six engineers out that all told us similar repairs needed to be done and never saw any of them again. Now I know it's down to the landlord to accept repairs, but for Olivia to act like that's the first they had ever heard of it when we were due to hand the keys back in less than a month was madness.We also had a leaky immersion heater, no heating and a fence panel down for the last two, almost three weeks we were living in the property. We reported that the immersion heater was leaking on 17/02/22, that a fence panel was down (due to storm Eunice) on 18/02/22 and that we had no heating on 21/02/22. No engineers were sent out before we handed the keys back to the letting agents on 05/03/22. The only contact we had was via text to say that someone would be in touch and we never heard anything again.Olivia and Alisya were just the most incompetent letting agents I have ever spoken to or communicated with via email, especially when it came to trying to view properties with Burchell Edwards or just to find out whether a property took pets. The only time they're hot on your tail to speak to you is when it concerned them and they needed you for something, calling my other half twice a day every day for five days, even though he works full-time and not able to use his phone whilst at work. But not bothering to contact myself when they knew I would be available to speak to.All in all, renting with Burchell Edwards has been a shambles from start to finish and I would highly recommend you steer clear, as they all seem to be very young, severely under trained, unprofessional and lacking any sort of customer service skills.I know I won't ever get a response from Burchell Edwards as they won't care about what one tenant has to say about them. I'm putting this on here in the hopes that anyone thinking about potentially renting from them will read this and use somewhere else instead.

TrustpilotStay away from Burchell Edwards and…
Stay away from Burchell Edwards and Ashley Adams!! Also avoid the Nightingale Quarters in Derby to rent, you will be highly disappointed and miss sold a dream. The company were quick to declining us requesting to move our end of tenancy date by a day as we no longer needed the extra day that we originally requested (we gave 3 weeks notice) as this had ‘now all been agreed with third parties and cannot be amended’ but constantly called me and partner the week leading up to our end date, asking if we needed to extend our tenancy for any reason - anything to get extra money from you. They will also send you an unfair end of tenancy report claiming damages that were already in the property when you moved in. Absolute shambles of a company!!

TrustpilotAvoid, avoid,avoid!…
We are absolutely exhausted from dealing with BE and the wider connells group. Nobody in 6 nightmare years has been able to even offer a substandard service. They are literally unable to run the letting operation properly due to blatant incompetence. This is not simply my view but has been proven by the numerous formal complaints that have been upheld.

TrustpilotHurst lane castle Bromwich Shocked
Absolutely unprofessional have had the worst experience possible keep booking appointments and email you on the day to say it's cancelled this has happened 3 times 2 no shows when I signed up with them they promised the world honestly have to say I'm disgusted with the lack of service. They don't answer their phones I surprised client's can even book a viewing, when you call them they just want to get rid of you as if your nuisance considering your are pay double the fees anyone else is charging. I'm shocked to see 4/5 stars certainly not the experience I've had with them. Castle Bromwich Branch Hurst lane i wish I read the reviews on Trust pilot I would have never choice them.

TrustpilotDO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!I have never written a bad review before as I give all businesses the benefit of the doubt or another chance or understand people have bad day but Burchell Edwards seems to top themselves with every encounter I've had with them to be the most incompetent company I've ever had the displeasure to deal with.Where to start! When we first viewed the flat we were to rent out the person we had been dealing with never showed up to the viewing and when we rang after waiting outside for over 30 mins we were told to ring the buzzer and the tenant at the time would show us around. Unsurprisingly the tenant was unaware there was a viewing but was happy to show up around anyway. Immediately we decided to take the flat as the tenant said no one else had viewed it so we were sure to get it and we did... or so we were told! After having given over a months notice to our other flat and because of delays from Burchell Edwards for us to move in we had to stay with a friends for a few nights in between moving out of our old place and into our new one. We were then told just a few days before we were to move in that the landlord had just chose us to move from all the applicants and congratulations we were to move in... we had already been told we got it and moved out of our old flat at this stage lucky we did get it or we would have been out in the streets! After being dragged around to 3 different Burchell Edwards offices across the midlands to sign different forms and collect keys from another one etc (i don't see why this could not all have been done in the one store, but why am I not surprised) we finally got the keys and moved in and did not have to deal with them for another year...thankfully!(I must mention that everyone except for Karena has been useless. She is literally the saving grace of this company and I could not fault in the time we dealt with her.)A year later we gave out notice to move out and emailed Burchell Edwards numerous times and getting no reply then was told that they no longer have anything to do with the management of the flat, despite the giant Burchell Edwards sign in the car area advertising renting out the the apartment and still have our deposit. It took 6 weeks to get an answer after giving 2 months notice. After moving out it has taken nearly a month (and counting) to get our deposit back even though we have receive confirmation from the people to maintain the building who confirmed to us and Burchell Edwards that the flat was left in perfect condition and for them to release our deposit, and email confirmation from the landlord again for Burchell Edwards to release back our deposit. After forwarding all these emails to Burchell Edwards as proof they can give us back the deposit they still have not and even the landlord said said he has already told them weeks ago to give us out deposit back but still no reply! Avoid this company at all cost. I have never and hopefully will never have to deal with such a useless company and the worse communication I've ever experienced!!

DERBY BRANCH MORTGAGE ADVISOR A.P WORST EXPERIENCE THE 1ST TIME WENT OK WASNT GREAT TRY TO MAKE YOU SIGN UP TO THINGS THAT ARE UNNECESSARY. Went to buy my 2nd home and because of the abizmel communication lost out on it 3x..... because of slow service not responding to emails and forever chasing them to do their job. never get a xall bsck when promised and then to add salt to injury she doesn't take accountability for her neglengence. NEVER WILL I USE HER AGAIN!!! I made it very clear that her service was appalling they claw money out of you to do very little work. I came on trust pilot to leave a negative review which she is aware of me doing so I don't think she'll be surprised hearing about this... only to be unsurprised by alot of other people's negative reviews. I had to ask if she's over worked because clearly can't keep the pace. made me lose out and still took my money to do very little. you mayaswell find a private mortgage advisor which I have done now and has suited me thus far...useless is an understatement..... try to blame you for their appointments theyve made and missed. she's lucky I never put her name on blast. but stear clear DERBY BRANCH INTIALS A.P
