GoogleThank you Oliver Burn for being such great managing agents for the last two years. I have just finished my tenancy and I would just like to extend my gratitude for all the help in the process of moving in as well as dealing with all our maintenance requests so quickly and attentively.
They always made sure that our requests were taken care of and always checked in to follow up on anything outstanding. The staff did change quite a lot in the last year, however the new team have been superb since the start of this year with following up anything that required immediate attention. Thank you!

Diana, Ed and the team at Oliver Burn Clapham have been managing our property for over 15 years including a full renovation this year. Living in Australia and owning a property so far away can be hard but Oliver Burn make it easy.

TrustpilotExcellent customer service!
Ever since we walked through the doors of Oliver Burn in Herne Hill, we felt in safe hands. A special mention to Tim Clarke-Payton who bent over backwards to help us secure our dream flat and Theresa Parsons for being such a friendly face and extremely organised throughout the whole process.
Louise Putt now looks after the management and day to day queries. Along with the rest of the team, Louise provides excellent customer service, we are really very impressed with how quickly things are dealt with without any hassle or too many questions asked.

TrustpilotThumbs up for Tim Hudson
The wonderful Tim Hudson at Oliver Burn worked tirelessly to sell my Brixton property - a super proactive and friendly agent. Being a first time vendor who needed a little guidance, I particularly appreciated Tim’s open and honest approach to the whole process - and he really went the extra mile to help smooth out any hurdles that cropped up along the way. I can’t recommend Tim H and his team enough. A 5 star service. Many thanks!

GoogleEric the owner is a con man. This company is masked by the lovely women in the office.
Eric came and inspected our flat and said the painting we had had done professionally was not up to scratch so he kept £500 of our deposit to have it carried out “properly”, after 2 years not to his knowledge we went back to the flat randomly and the paint work was the same as we had done.
Also Eric used to turn up in announced and let himself in, been caught coming out of the shower before.
Avoid this company, this is a true genuine review of what you get with Oliver Burn. AVOID.

TrustpilotThank you, everyone at Oliver Burn
We've been renting through Oliver Burn for 6+ years.
The staff has always been helpful and friendly. I mean, literally, whenever we've had a tenancy-related issue they've helped every single time. I don't remember to have ever had to fight for something to get done, as is sometimes the case with landlords.
They reply quickly over email. Which is a big plus for those who, like myself, struggle with phone conversations.
Thank you, everyone :)

Tim and Diana have been great to work with to sell my flat. They were proactive during the current tricky market environment, facilitating feedback from solicitors and Southwark Council to keep progressing the sale.
I'm delighted to have sold with Oliver Burn, and commend their communications, engagement and constructive guidance throughout the sale process. I highly recommend the Oliver Burn team.

We have been renting with Oliver Burn for over six months and we had an excellent experience so far. During the negotiation and tenancy agreement setup, they were very responsive, scrupulous and patient in clarifying all our doubts and answering our questions. After moving into the flat, our property manager Louise has been very helpful and dealing with any repairs or needs promptly - often within the next day! Always kind and absolutely trustworthy.

TrustpilotStill haven’t returned deposit
I rented a room in a property with Oliver Burn for 8 years and had nothing but positive experiences with the then property manager. During this time many tenants moved in and out and the process was managed very smoothly by the tenants themselves. However since our property manager changed earlier this year our experience has been dreadful. It takes sometimes weeks to get a reply to a simple email and all the processes have become unnecessarily complicated. Three weeks after moving out Oliver Burn have still not returned my deposit, despite saying it would be done promptly, meaning I have had to seek legal advice elsewhere. Extremely disappointed.

Dear Claire,
I am genuinely sorry that you have felt the need to complain about the return of your deposit. You are correct in saying that there was a change in Property Manager earlier this year and there have been some teething problems but the Property Management team are committed to resolving them and it is unfortunate that in your case your deposit return was delayed and you waited an unacceptable amount of time. Had you raised a complaint with the company’s senior management(myself Eric Brodnock or my Co Director, Diana Burn) we would have immediately investigated and escalated the return of your deposit. You mention that the processes have become unnecessarily complicated but in the case of Tenancy swaps there are certain formalities that need to be completed that you may not be aware of , however your deposit should have been returned more swiftly and we sincerely apologise for the delay, I have been advised that you received your deposit early last week.
Kind regards,
Eric Brodnock
Managing Director

I have been renting with Oliver Burn for over 2 years. As soon as we decided on the flat we wanted to rent, they guided us through putting a deposit down on the same day. Since then, Louise has been so efficient at helping us with any issues we have at our flat and always willing to go out of her way to help. It makes renting in London feel easy!

GoogleWhen we decided to sell our house after more than 46 years it seemed a daunting task. However, it turned out an easy passage under the guidance of Oliver Burn, Estate Agents. We landed with them by sheer coincidence. Trying to load a baby cot into our car, a very friendly young man came along to offer help. It was the same helpful man, Tim Clarke-Payton, whom we shortly afterwards discovered in Oliver Burn’s office. He and his very able team - another Tim and Theresa - gave us consistently good advice and answered all the question we had. They handled brilliantly the task of taking prospective buyers around our property without much interference to our daily life. We could not have been in better hands and can highly recommend them.

GoogleWe applied for a Rental Property with this company. After one week we still hadn't heard anything about our application. Tim ignored two emails and a voice message during this time. Once he finally took our phone call he then assured us that everything was going along fine and that we just had to sign the tenancy agreement. Three days later we made many attempts at contacting him again, eventually being told he would chase up the application for us.
The following morning we received an email saying that the property had been let to someone else.
Very dissapointed that we wasted 12 days to find out we were unsuccessful and also lost time looking for other places as we were told we had the one with Oliver Burn.
Edit: I have been contacted by many people from Oliver Burn to rectify the situation. While I appreciate the matter being followed up on, I do believe it was unfortunately a once off situation which we found ourselves in and hopefully it shouldn't happen again to anyone else.

Dear Kelsy,
Thank you for your review. We take any complaints/comments very seriously and just want to reply accordingly.
Firstly we apologise for the delay in replying, but we were gathering the history behind your complaint.
There were a few offers made for the rental property in question, and even though your offer was being considered by the Landlord a higher offer came in. At the time of the offers, the Landlord was going abroad and was going to make a final decision on her return. The landlord decided to go with the other offer, as they did not require any additional furniture, and their offer was higher. Tim was unaware that your offer had not been accepted by the landlord, as it was being dealt with by a colleague in our Clapham office and due to the Easter weekend Tim did not find this information out until his return to the office on Wednesday 24 April 2019.
We sincerely apologise for the disappointment and time you had wasted on finding a suitable replacement property. We can assure you that your comments have been noted, and improvements are in place to avoid any one else being dissatisfied with our service.
If you would like to speak further, please call our Herne Hill office on 0207 274 3333
With sincere apologies and king regards
