We have just completed on a property with Oakmans. The sale was really complicated and involved a third party probate company and sellers solicitors were awful. However, Trina and Alexis were amazing. They could see how frustrating the case was getting. They always remained empathetic and went out of their way to help. Thank you lovely ladies xx

Take back your rights Address: The Property Ombudsman, Milford House, 43-55 Milford Street, Salisbury SP1 2BP Will take concerns, because the agency has to follow regulations and laws. Always email any agency so u can keep a paper trail. It really support you and don't sign contracts without getting it looked over it's rights because it's classes hassesment they can put pressure on you and they can't force u to and they should be informing you of your rights before you sign and give you update information by law. If they don't report it. Also if you get renewal contracts seek support to makee sure u get it checked, there is support through the council for this, it would be worth you to get it checked. Also birmingham city council have a pravite tenants part, also students can use they will serve them notice to get repairs done and tell you your rights. They will ask the agency to carry out repairs by contracting then and ask for evidence they have done this. Before they take it further. Don't let others take advantage of you. Telling the council will get you a out come and stop agency's doung this.

The worst estate agents i have rented for 2 months and had a leaking roof and no lights for those 2 months still ongoing as of right now. They do not fix issues, they do not care about students and will bat you off as much as possible The entire bed frame is completely drenched. Its run by a bunch of 22 year olds who dont really know whats happening.

I would give 0 stars if I could. Rude, unprofessional, nasty on calls and emails, (that's when we get them as their communication their side is almost zero), ignore emails and calls, have no care or security when handing in keys, dont deal …

Horrible experience...their emails are very aggressive (bold and red text), they are not helpful at all and they forget who is the customer always trying to get in dominant positions, asking for things quoting the law without even understanding the law( i.e: querying a transaction between own accounts on £500 quoting money laundry law- threshold being £8k/ 10k eur/ transaction to other people - not to own accounts. Asking for a passport( despite the 2 uploads of copies and referencing agency checks) in the last minute on collection of the keys after contracts signed and all the funds paid...etc. any ID should have been enough. Anyway I couldn't find any professionalism there not even on mr Oakman himself

We have just sold a house with Oakmans, based off a friend recommendation and we were not disappointed! From start to finish Oakman's were there for us. Tom B who did the valuation and came out initially was friendly and very informative. Tate who did the viewings for us was very professional and provided us with confidence each time. Bethany and Holly who also provided us with updates as we went along - we were able to get hold of them straight away and they were always available to provide us with an answer! Thank you so much to the team and we would recommend them to anybody!!

I don’t have a bad thing to say about Oakmans, especially Tate, their kind and charismatic sales agent who made a real difference to our viewings experience. The whole team is great, responsive and zealous. Recommend it!

We listed our house for sale with Oakmans, and did not have the best experience. Tom who did the valuation and talked me through everything was great, and the listing looked good. Lots of viewings were booked in, though probably around 50% cancelled on the day - frustrating, not sure if oakmans could do more on this, but it's not something we experienced with a later agent. But we received a few offers and accepted one. A long way into the process the buyers pulled out - again frustrating but it happens. But following that was pretty disastrous. Once we'd relisted the house at a lower price, a few weeks and zero viewings later we found it impossible to get hold of ANYONE at oakmans - their phone line just went to voicemail, time and time again (seven times on one day in particular!). And this is just their standard office line. Over a couple of weeks we called dozens of times and only spoke to someone twice - if we can't get through how can potential viewers?! They didn't really have any answers for getting things moving again, so we eventually switched agents and had a much better time.

I recently sold a house in Harborne with Oakmans & they were fantastic. I live in South London so wasn’t available to deal with the inevitable hiccups that come with selling a house. Dom, Holly & the rest of the Oakmans team were fantastic. I literally left it with them to deal with everything, I just signed off on the contractors they provided & managed. They kept me up to date all the time so there were no surprises. They also explained the correct price point to go in at to generate most interest in the property & it ended up in me being exceptionally happy with the price in a very turbulent time to sell a property. Also worth mentioning they had the lowest fees too. I genuinely couldn’t be happier with them.

Great service from Jay, he was professional, knowledgeable and very helpful. He provided clear straightforward advice that was easy to understand and helped me make informed decisions.

They seem to be so negligent and incompetent. Definitely wouldn't go through the stress of selling property with them again

To Ryan, Ellie, Jake, Alexis, Trina and all of the Oakmans (Selly Oak) Team. You were brilliant! Not once but twice you promptly sold our house (when the first buyer pulled out), and were super supportive and completely professional throughout. We cannot thank you enough. Garry & Wendy

Trina was efficient, friendly and always so quick to respond. She really did make the whole experience so much easier and I could always depend on her to get back to me super fast with an always helpful reply. Thanks, Trina, you were a star!!

Oakmans were brilliant in selling our house in Harborne. Fantastic communication throughout the whole process, excellent photography and a very reasonable rate. Holly was particularly exceptional in her correspondence and professionalism. I would highly recommend.

We've been renting from this estate agents for around 6 months and they have been excellent. We were able to move in without any hassle and they assisted us in the process to make it as smooth and easy as possible. Since living at the property, whenever we have had to report a problem in the house (heating, electrics etc.), they have been incredibly prompt in responding to the situation and sending out the necessary services to fix it. Mersedeh Maksabi has been especially helpful and understanding, she is also very quick to respond, and has even contacted us on occasion unasked, just to check that everything at the property is okay, which we appreciated. Would definitely recommend this estate agents and like to thank Mersedeh for her great service and support.

Oakmans have both managed and sold multiple properties for me over the last 18 months. Everyone I've dealt with in the sales, lettings & management teams are all super responsive, efficient and a very friendly bunch. I've worked closely with Megan F for a while & she is an absolute pleasure to work with - a true asset to the company. I moved management of 9 properties from another agent to Oakmans and it was a very wise decision! Would absolutely recommend
