GoogleGreat first experience renting with Burchell Edwards. Rebecca Fennell was on top of everything, got everything done and had us ready to move in no time. Everything ran smoothly and she was available to us once we had the keys to talk us through any issues.

GoogleBurchell Edwards have been incredible in helping myself and my partner buy our first house. I would heavily recommend this firm to anyone.
Craig Ford my mortgage advisor was outstanding and helped every step of the way and Alex was also incredible and was a star at helping!

GooglePartner and I had a mortage meeting with Craig. As young first time buyers we had no clue about mortgages, Craig was super helpful and informative and we learnt a lot.
Always had our best interests in mind and kept us informed of the process at all times.
He just went above and beyond really so hats off to him!

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

GoogleIt took a long time to sell my mother’s house but this was not due to the staff at Burchell Edwards who worked very hard to promote the sale. Communications were excellent. Luisa was particularly good at contacting me with updates. She was very patient at stressful times.
I would recommend this company.

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.

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 !

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.

GoogleReally pleased with the service I received. The staff were pleasant and helpful and professional throughout. I was looking for a mortgage but wasn’t expecting to be able to buy much as I didn’t have the best credit rating. After speaking with Craig I was surprised when he assured me this fact was not that great an obstacle and I’m now residing in a property that I had previously considered to be well out of my price range. The help I received was first class during the process and made the whole process much simpler that I previously expected as I was a first time buyer. Thanks all.
