GoogleWe had a property for sale in Shirley and didn't know which estate agent to use. Some of the more established estate agent didn't really impress us. Mike has a great knowledge of the Shirley/Solihull area, and his young team are full of energy, enthusiasm, but more importantly totally professional and knowledgeable. Their communication with us was 100% and we had total confidence in them. Everything they said they would do they did, with professionalism and a smile. The house was put on the market and sold within 7 days and Black and Golds achieved a lot more than the asking price. Mike himself, and his team, had time to explain everything to us in detail. They also saved us a lot of money compared to other estate agents. If you are selling your house, don't be fooled by claims of other estate agents. Use Black and Golds, they are the best!!

GoogleAilish did a brilliant job of marketing our property. I could not be more complimentary of the service I received. Phone calls always answered and emails responded to on the same day. Impressed with their pricing structure relative to everyone else. Great job and thanks again to everyone who helped.

GoogleI sold my property through Black and Golds, after what i thought would be a fairly straight forward sale, it turned out to take a lot longer and be more complicated than I originally thought. However Maisy and Mike, stuck with it the whole way through, always got back to my emails and calls, chased and pushed the sale through. I was really happy with their service and would highly recommend them!PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

GoogleGreat communication, friendly staff, keen to move the process forward. Would hugely recommend to anyone looking to buy a house. With us being first time buyers we were nervous about a prior experience with another estate agents but black & golds made us feel very comfortable. Also the office they work out is very nice!

GoogleBlack and golds were great throughout our process of buying our first home. They were quick and efficient with replying to emails and were really invested in getting our purchase complete as soon as possible. It’s great to be allocated a dedicated person to handle your property which makes things so much easier! I will definitely be going back to them when we’re looking for our next step up the property ladder!

GoogleBlack & Gold provided a brilliant, friendly and really good value for money service. The added bonus was that we were able to borrow their van on day of moving free of charge - this was a massive help and saved us some money. I would definitley recommend the team and would happily use them again (not that I intend on moving for a long time :))PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

GoogleAppalling service offered by this company when trying to view a property. It firstly takes 15 calls to get through to someone and when you leave your details... no gets back to the you.
I finally managed to arrange a viewing at 2:30pm, I let the company know I'm stuck in traffic and will be 15 minutes late. The chap advised he is not sure they can wait but will call me back... as expected he did not call me back! I cannot control the traffic but basic customer service would not go a miss. I can understand not waiting 15 minutes but not calling someone who is on route is simply bad customer service.
Then refusing to take my calls is quite simply a disgrace. Not the greatest experience, I hope landlords take note... they will NOT go the extra mile for you.

Hello Usman,
I am sorry you feel that you had a poor service. As far as your comments are concerned they are not quite accurate. Your appointment was at 2.30pm and you arrived at 3pm....30 minutes is just too long to expect a viewings rep to wait when they have appointments booked for after. We confirmed the appointment with you in the morning and always strive to communicate with viewers to make sure that appointments are kept from both sides. Again I am sorry if you feel your experience with Black and Golds did not meet with expectations.

We were lucky to have Maisy Stoneman dealing with the sale process and her updates and reassurance gave it that professional but also personal touch. Maisy ensured it all ran smoothly and we would like to thank her for being there throughout, you’re a credit to the company.

GoogleMike, Laura and Zoe stuck with it when our first buyer (literally)disappeared. We had suspicions we were on a hidden camera reality show when the second buyer couldn't proceed but they came good with the third. Very grateful for the support, effort, guidance and reassurance when this looked like we were going to lose our upwards purchase. B&G provided extremely well balanced and practical advice - we never felt pressurised and we always felt they were working in our best interests at all times. Very happy to recommend the team...

GoogleBlack and Golds sold my mum's house in Hall Green and despite the ups and downs of normal house sales (outside of their control), and the added complications of Covid, it all went through by the required deadline. The whole team is very well organised, they communicate well amongst themselves, they respond quickly and efficiently and are an absolute joy to deal with. I would most definitely recommend them.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

GoogleI see this company have no worries in advertising the recently to be constructed and completed retirement flats in Shirley called Solihull Village where usually with this type of property, values fall massively, punitively and immediately after taking ownership and any buyers being exposed to upto £600 per month service charges. Many retirement flats suffer with hidden charges such as 1% of the sale price to be paid upon re-sale for each year of ownership.
Ray · 17 June 2020
Agent replied · 16 June 2024
Hi Ray,
I am sorry you feel that way about the the retirement village. You are correct we will be advertising these properties but as an independently owned small business we are unsure why you feel this makes us deserving of a 1 star Google review? We welcome reviews of our company and all Estate Agents in the area but these reviews need to reflect the level of service that the particular brand gives and not someones issue with a a style of property. If you would like to further discuss my office number is 0121 249 6207 or you can drop me an email: mikedingley@blackandgolds.co.uk

GoogleI was delighted with the service from all at the office. it was great to be able to use the services of the firm of solicitors linked to Black and Golds it made the sale much more simple. We had chosen this company because they were local to the house this was a great advantage regarding viewings, Mike gave great advice on how to present the house and the asking price and the cost of selling was lower than others in the area. I would not hesitate to recommend this firm.
