Dixons Estate Agents - Bearwood

Lettings :
I advertised the house with Humberstones for 5 weeks and they were useless at finding me a suitable tenant. Dixons found someone within 'hours' of the property being advertised. I was very impressed!!

I almost never write a review online, but this deserves it...
We found a property we liked. An agent - Jimmy (??) - was not very helpful in showing the place ("this is a living room"; "idk, I need to check"), but fortunately there were owners around to ask more specific questions. The agent was very pushy on a few occasions. He said that they have one offer on the table already and we need to make a decision today, but the owners had no idea about it.
The owners told us, we are dream tenants for any landlord (great references, good jobs, handyman skills, planning to rent for a few years). Clearly, they liked us very much...
Despite unprofessional agent, we liked the property and the owners (there were going to manage the property, not Dixons), so we go down to the Dixons' office (BTW: dirty and with crisps on the floor) to put down the application. The agent could not even give us a ride because of insurance reasons (true? maybe...). But we stayed there only about a minute when Jimmy (??) asked for £500 (!!!) fee, including £250 was for holding down the property (what ?). For us it is called a steal! We left offended.
Just FYI, fees around £250 are something normal, but not twice of that!!!

Connells - Bearwood

At the end of 2020 I relocated from London to Birmingham, 2 months overdue as if finding the right property wasn't hard enough, 95% of the agent's I was dealing with were utterly useless. I was beginning to get incredibly frustrated until I found this place.
Ronnie answered my call at Connells, first agent that actually kept his word about getting information and letting me know things when he said he would and without me having to chase him.
Ronnie is 100% transparent and authentic, I appreciate you for that. It honestly felt like he would action your requests instantly and not rest until the job is done. He kept me updated every step of the way and was even responding to my messages outside of work hours.
Once into the paperwork stage, Pam took over and did a fantastic job. Pam is very efficient, experienced and can pretty much answer any question off the top of her head.
An absolutely solid team here at Connells Bearwood.

Avoid these people. No communication at all. Kept us waiting more than a week and still did not let us know our offer was not accepted while they negotiated with others using our offer.
We had to contact the vendors to know the outcome!!

Robert Oulsnam & Co - Bearwood
517 Hagley Road, B66 4AX
Customer reviews (44)

Whilst everyone on the team were all really helpful, Sarah at the Bearwood office provided an exceptional service. The pandemic presented a number of challenges, including a number of sales falling through due to changes in potential buyer’s circumstances as well the way in which people were approaching property. After suffering an unusually high number of setbacks I was quite anxious and stressed at times. Sarah balanced me out with her hugely positive attitude. I had the right assurances throughout, received excellent communication and Sarah went above and beyond to ensure all outstanding enquires were resolved in a timely manner. Agents don’t always know the stories of the people selling the property, but for most people it's a major event. If you want an estate agency that does not give up, works hard to overcome any challenges and offers excellent communication, then I from my own experience highly recommend the Robert Oulsnam team. I have experience with other agencies including those web based but in saving a few pounds at the beginning doesn't garuntee the best result for you. Thank you Bearwood office it was a pleasure working with you!!!

One particular individual who works at this branch was one of the most unhelpful human beings I have ever encountered. She was rude and insisted 'the customer was wrong' from the outset, (even though I had dealt with Oulsnam's for over 3 years). As a kind natured, intelligent and mature person I found it very insulting to be treated with such malice. Upon making an enquiry in person, I was told to call another branch on my mobile! Awful service, such a shame.

Hicks Hadley managed the purchasing side of my recent house move. They were incredibly helpful and professional throughout the process. Sue in particular went above and beyond what I would expect from the service of an estate agent. She proved to be vital in maintaining momentum through to conclusion providing an excellent service to all parties involved.

Avoid this company, the staff were rude and incompetent, in particular Sami who I dealt with. Will take your money and keep your deposit, inventories not carried out properly, houses dirty, the levels of professionalism were very low. Do yourselves a favour and avoid this company altogether.

DO NOT USE THIS LETTING AGENT! When I moved into my flat a year ago it was filthy. I had to clean it myself as the estate agents did not arrange for a cleaner to come and did not respond to complaints. Now I have left my flat, I am being charged for leaving things that belonged to the previous tenant in the flat and for meticulous clean that I highly doubt will actually be done. For example, I am being charged to clean the floor under the fridge when the fridge had mouldy food stuck to the shelves when I moved and the floor was definitely not clean. I am being accused of lying about this and their customer service is incredibly poor.
Not happy with my experience using their services at all.
In Response to the reply below:
If by 'ironing out issues' you mean threatening legal action and hanging up on people then yes you handled the issue before I posted this review.
I did not refuse to clean it, I accepted the payment for cleaning as I was unable to return to Birmingham in the 24 hour period I was given.
Fortunately I can post pictures on this review so I can show the supposed unacceptable state I left the flat in.
I understand it was a busy period when I moved in, but there was no excuse for the filthy state it was left in. The member of staff only cleaned my dirty fridge. I left the rest for a few weeks when I went home but when I came back it still wasn't cleaned so I did it myself.
Please stop being so rude and lying. This is the worst customer service I have ever received.
