I was interested in a rental property that was advertised by Rentlife. I contacted rentlife and my first point of contact was Darnell who gave me the information I required and assisted and arranged for me to view the property on two occasions with him personally. Darnell was really helpful and gave me the assistance I needed.
Jamie was also part of the process and ensured everything ran smoothly even after the keys were handed over to myself.... Read more

I cannot recommend Rent Life highly enough & really feel like they've had my best interests at heart. I didn't have to chase for answers & they moved things along quickly while being patient with my many questions. I am early into my journey as a landlord but I've no doubt Rent Life will continue to look after my interests with the same exceptional level of service they've shown so far.

Despite the fact that I need the flat in less than a month, Darnell has assisted me with a variety of things, such as apartment searching, document signing, and document processing.

I’m a student and I am obviously new to the property market, a week before I found rent life my naiveness and a dishonest estate agent lost us a flat.
Me and my flatmate were running out of time and had a lot of anxiety during this process.
Thankfully, due to the efficiency at rent life we now have a flat to stay in to complete our studies.
Special mention to our estate agent Darnell, his friendly, genuine and professional energy made us feel more comfortable than any other estate agent had. He’s been an amazing guide during this process. He made us feel at ease straight away as he his also a student but he delivered and communicated better than any other estate agent I had dealt with, and trust me there have been many (we’ve been looking since May)
Darnell was very attentive, I would ring everyday with a new query and he would make sure he has the answer. All my anxiety around renting had disappeared due to his amazing customer service skills and genuine support. He deserves a promotion.
Due to his empathy, professionalism and communication. Me and my flatmate have secured our dream apartment to finish our studies. I want to thank and recommend rentlife for giving students a chance without any prejudice.... Read more

We cannot express how satisfied we are with their exceptional service. From the initial inquiry to the finalisation of the lease agreement, every step of the process was handled with professionalism, efficiency, and a genuine commitment to customer satisfaction.
Barrows & Forrester demonstrated an in-depth knowledge of the local rental market, providing invaluable insights that helped me make informed decisions. Their responsiveness was truly impressive; they promptly addressed all my queries and concerns, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience throughout.
Jaime, Caitlin and Sophia went above and beyond to ensure that the property was in excellent condition before the move-in date. They coordinated necessary repairs and inspections, demonstrating a commitment to providing a comfortable and well-maintained living space for their tenants.
In conclusion, I highly recommend Barrows & Forrester for anyone seeking a reliable and customer-focused lettings agent.

I am grateful for the positive experience and look forward to a continued relationship with them in the future.... Read more

Hunting for flats in big cities is always tiring, and too many letting agents out there care very little about service or the general experience of prospective tenants. The reviews for most letting agents in Birmingham and other big cities rarely exceed an average of 3 stars for a reason...
Barrows & Forrester really are a ray of sunshine in a sector where tenants usually face stress and uncertainty until the moment the contract is finally signed. They are super responsive, well-organised, friendly and forthcoming in their communications. Our agent Sophia was incredibly professional and patient, the whole experience really couldn't have been any smoother! Since we moved in a week ago, the team at B&F (particularly Sophia and Caitlin) has been always approachable and proactive in dealing with any queries.
There clearly is a reason why they are the highest-rated agent in Birmingham (at least as far as I can tell). We would recommend them to anyone looking to rent in Birmingham and the West Midlands.... Read more

I have found Barrows & Forrester's service levels second to none.
From the very first communication of enquiry, they have kept me informed and have always come back to me when there were queries and potential issues.
I had a VERY bad experience with (what I thought) was a reputable and well established Letting Agents which caused myself and family a great deal of stress having fell fowl of BAD tenants which were apparently "vetted" by the previous agents.
I was quite anxious about letting the property again!
I was recommended Barrows & Forrester and from the start they were keen to ensure I was content and confident in the service I received.

No lie, I actually thought these people were the most professional people you could go though, with the way they initially handled the whole moving in process but throughout the 6 month tenancy I noticed how incompetent they actually were. Imagine having to message multiple times to get a dishwasher fixed for it to not be done by the time you vacate the property or them failing to show up when they had agreed to come and sort the issue out? It's not okay. Not just that but after moving out Hamad had the audacity to act as though communications on his end were perfectly fine despite having not responding to my initial emails for 3 weeks. I had to call in multiple times to even get a response for it to happen again the following week. I understand people are busy but its not exactly difficult to respond to an email or even be sincere with your apology. It was clear by his tone that he didn't care whether I was upset by his poor and unprofessional behaviour and instead tried to shoo me away. Despite having received a written apology I am writing this review so others don't receive the same treatment I did.... Read more

Overall my experience was fantastic with Barrows Forrester, as a first time buyer they made sure I felt comfortable and that I understood everything in the buying process step by step. Krishan from Barrows and Forrester was great, he answered any questions I had and continued to keep in contact regularly whilst the buying process was ongoing ensuring I was aware of everything that was going on. I cannot recommend Barrows and Forrester highly enough.... Read more

I am happy and satisfied with the services provided by Krishnan and James from Barrows & Forrester. They both have hands-on experience while dealing with issues and have a great ability to suggest alternatives promptly. They are customer focussed and always try to enhance the customer experience in all aspects. I wish them all the best and hope they continue to provide the best of the class service to their customer base."... Read more

My experience with Barrows & Forrester since day 1 has been excellent. All information required was explained to me in a clear concise manner, including dates and costs.
One of the single most important things to me has always been flexibility and every experience I've had has been led by a flexible first approach making sure everybody is happy.
All of the costs associated with renting were explained to me and the documents weren't long, confusing or hard to understand. Absolutely perfect company to rent with.
Krishan has been amazing. He walks the fine line between agent-customer communications perfectly and with confidence. He's a credit to Barrows & Forrester.... Read more

I moved my property after 10 years of it being with another agent! Yes it felt a little uncomfortable (as you can imagine) but best decision I made. Hassle free handover. Personal Professional Honest Service from this team. You can trust them to treat your home like their own. Thank you Hamed Al Qubaisi ! ????... Read more

I can't praise Hamed Al Qubaisi enough. It's the fourth time he has let my property. Each time he has been professional and extremely efficient. I thought he would have difficulty in letting my property in these difficult times, but he managed to find a good tenant with a few days. Thank you Hamed... Read more

I had several agents visit my property and provide quotes including some well known brands but I was looking specifically for an estate agent who would provide me and my future tenant with a good level of service at the right price and Barrows and Forrester were by far the best. From day one, Krishan has provided exceptional customer service. I selected Barrows and Forrester for their continuous work within the Oldbury community and they certainly did not disappoint. Krishan is a credit to the company. They pride themselves on providing the best service they can and even though I live next door to the property, they did all the viewings. It has been completely stress and hassle free and long may this continue!... Read more

This agency went above and beyond to get my rental property let. It got let within a week due to the late night viewings they offer. it wasn’t just 9-5 which is what working professionals need to be able
to view as they are at work all day and that’s the type of tenants we all want.
The referencing process went seamlessly and I was updated as soon as they got a viewing booked and once the viewing had taken place to let me know their outcomes and the impression they got.
They were able to advise me on rent protections and landlords insurances effectively and recommend a full protection at almost half the cost of my last agent.
There’s always someone in the office during working hours so can always reach someone which is important.
I got copies of all my paperwork the same day as the move in and what really set them apart is that I wasn’t in the area the day of move in so they did it all for me even though it was let only and the tenant had some teething problems with the heating and prepayment meters and they sorted the lot for me so I could enjoy the last day of my holiday without worry. I wouldn’t considered using anyone else... Read more
