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.

Extremely 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.

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!

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.

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.

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 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

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 😊

Great experience from start to finish with letting out my property. Was let within a week of advertising. All the staff I dealt with have been great and very helpful. Professionally marketed at a very competitive rate. I have opted for the full management service and I have every confidence that this will go well. Thank you to Darren and his team.

Oulsnam Redditch 5 Stars

I shall be forever thankful that I found Vicky and the team at Oulsnam Redditch. Today, we complete on our house sale in Rubery after 9 painful months on the market with another agent, Oulsnam were a breath of fresh air. The service offered was impeccable, honest and they delivered. Within 5 days of being on the market with Oulsnam, I had 4 booked viewings, all conducted over a weekend with Jeff. Jeff was fantastic with the viewings and taking people around with knowledge, friendliness and consideration. He kept me informed about how they each went, something that I completely lacked from my other agent. By the end of the weekend, after 4 viewings, I had 3 offers on the table! Absolutely amazing!! Vicky and the team achieved exactly what they set out to. During the sale, Elisha and Debbie have been attentive and always on hand to take it through to a smooth completion. A wonderful team at Redditch, sincerely thank you! Id highly recommend.

House sale

Just sold my house with Oulsnam and Co. Kings Heath, the team are excellent. I was a little apprehensive in the beginning about the whole process but Michelle gave me reassurance that they would manage everything on my behalf from the start. The photos Georgie took were great quality and really showcased the house at it’s best, and both she and Alison were fabulous with viewings and keeping me informed every step of the way. Regular updates were provided giving details of the current property market which were useful too. Overall I am very pleased with the service provided, the team are professional with a friendly approach, and I would certainly use them again.

A 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.

A 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.

Oulsnam'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.

They supported me from start to finish of the sale and went above and beyond- Emma was checking in with me as I was going though end of life care for a relative and her words and care really helped me through these major life events.

Excellent service

I had an excellent experience with the Oulsnams Bournville team during the sale of my apartment at The Franklin. Rachel Andrews provided professional and straightforward advice from valuation through to marketing, keeping me informed at every stage. Karen Crayton was proactive with updates and offered honest, practical guidance throughout the sales process. Emma Dempsey ensured matters progressed smoothly once a buyer was found, helping coordinate the next steps efficiently. The Bournville team were responsive, knowledgeable and easy to work with, and I would gladly recommend them to anyone selling a property.

I would thoroughly recommend Ben, Debbie and the team at Oulsnam on the Hagley Road. My sale went exactly as Ben said it would, he got the marketing price right, despite differing opinions from other local agents. As always Ben's pictures of the property were brilliant and certainly helped secure viewings! 3 months from memo of sale to completion, with Christmas in between! Thank you!
