Henley Charles Estate Agents - Handsworth
306 Rookery Road, Handsworth, Birmingham, B21 9QG
(171 reviews)
4th Feb 2026 (13 weeks ago)We had a very disappointing experience renting through Henley Charles. At the start of the tenancy, communication was fairly responsive. However, once serious maintenance issues began to arise, their responsiveness declined significantly. We are a family of three who were looking for a safe, long-term family home. We have a young child, and therefore the standards of the property needed to be extremely good. Unfortunately, this was not the case. Throughout our tenancy, we reported major disrepair issues including roof leaks, water coming through ceilings, damaged guttering, and later water leaking from the bathroom into the kitchen. Eventually, water was dripping from a ceiling light fitting and onto the gas cooker, which is extremely dangerous. Brown damp patches and mould began forming in affected areas. This is deeply concerning, as mould and damp can cause serious health problems, especially for babies and young children. Despite repeatedly reporting these issues from November 2025 onwards, no effective repairs were carried out. A roofer was supposedly instructed but never attended, and our follow-up messages and emails were often ignored or left on read. We constantly had to chase for updates, which was stressful and exhausting. We were originally told this would be a long-term tenancy, which is why we invested our own money into improving the property (new carpets, garden improvements, filling gaps and holes to improve insulation and prevent rodents, etc.). We heard, saw, and even disturbed rodents coming through holes in the kitchen units, so we sealed these areas ourselves using cement and expanding foam. These improvements remain in place and improved the condition of the property. Later, we were informed the landlord wanted to sell the property. During this period, it felt as though repairs were deliberately avoided. The explanation that the landlord was abroad should not prevent urgent repairs, especially as we always paid our rent on time and fulfilled our obligations as tenants. To make matters worse, they are now attempting to deduct money from our deposit due to a small amount of expanding foam on laminate flooring inside a kitchen unit. This does not require replacement or repair — it simply needs cleaning. The substance has not caused irreparable damage. There is also spare brand-new laminate flooring stored in the kitchen cupboard if replacement were genuinely needed. We always paid our rent on time and took pride in the home. If anyone would like proof of our messages, emails, videos, and photos of the disrepair that was never fixed, we have everything fully documented and can provide it. Based on our experience, we would not recommend Henley Charles to tenants.
Paul Carr - Hamstead
3 International House, Old Walsall Road, Great Barr, Hamstead, B42 1NN
(41 reviews)
23rd Jan 2026 (15 weeks ago)I agreed a purchase on 5 Whitburn Avenue which was marketed and confirmed in the memorandum of sale as freehold. After instructing solicitors and incurring costs and a level 2 survey, it later emerged during conveyancing that the property was subject to a short lease of around 12 years, fundamentally affecting value and mortgageability. I withdrew immediately once this came to light. Despite requesting written confirmation that the sale was no longer proceeding, my emails were not responded to. This experience caused unnecessary stress and wasted legal costs. Buyers should independently verify tenure before proceeding.
Henley Charles Estate Agents - Erdington, Birmingham
1 Reservoir Road, Erdington, Birmingham, B23 6DA(146 reviews)
6th Jan 2026 (17 weeks ago)I recently purchased a property through Henley Charles Erdington and had an excellent experience from start to finish. My initial viewing was arranged very quickly, and my offer was promptly submitted to and confirmed by the seller. Communication throughout the process was outstanding. I was kept informed immediately whenever there was an update, which made the entire experience feel smooth and stress-free. Josh, the agent who handled the property, was particularly helpful — he answered all of my questions, was always available when I needed assistance, and provided great support throughout. I would highly recommend Henley Charles to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. They are trustworthy, professional, and genuinely care about their clients. A big thank you to the entire Henley Charles team, and especially to Josh, for making the process so easy and seamless.

The team was professional, friendly, and extremely helpful, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. They communicated clearly and kept me informed every step of the way. I highly recommend Concentric Sales & Lettings for anyone looking for a reliable and efficient estate agency.
5th Feb 2026 (13 weeks ago)After you rent from them, they will disappear and won't answer the phone or email if you need help. Be careful and stay away.
24th Apr 2026 (11 days ago)very poor management.
23rd Apr 2026 (12 days ago)Lorraine was fantastic throughout the whole process of buying my home. She was friendly, professional, and always quick to respond to any questions I had. Her support and clear communication made everything feel much easier and less stressful. I really appreciated her help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy/sell a property.
14th Apr 2026 (21 days ago)The family were going through a difficult time after the bereavement of a parent, then the added stress of dealing with the sale of a probate property. Dave carried out the property valuation, along with several other agents and put us at ease with his local market knowledge and his sound property advice. Absolutely amazing and professional service from the whole Apple Property Solutions team. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to sell in the Great Barr area.

14th Apr 2026 (21 days ago)Timely response to queries
20th Apr 2026 (15 days ago)Yasmin is our property manager and she is brilliant, she has made our first renting experience so easy. She always answers any emails promptly and her kindness and competence shines through. She has a great relationship with our landlord and makes communication so simple. The whole team are very attentive, informative and kind.
11th Apr 2026 (24 days ago)This company deserves zero stars. Absolutely appalling service – avoid Midland Residential Birmingham at all costs. The positive reviews are very questionable, especially given the current state of the company. It appears extremely disorganised, and the lettings manager does not seem to have oversight of what staff are doing day to day. I expressed interest in a property on 11/03, submitted all requested documents and references by 13/03, and paid a holding deposit. From that point on, there was complete silence—no communication whatsoever. I had to repeatedly chase them: • On 19/03, I was told they were waiting for a landlord’s signature, with no clear explanation, and promised a callback that never came. • I called again and was told the same thing—still no follow-up. • By 25/03 (the day before my proposed move-in date), I still had no update. When I called, I was again told to wait until “tomorrow,” which was completely unacceptable. After insisting on an update, I was eventually told to speak to the lettings manager. Again, I had to call them back myself. After a long and frustrating conversation about their lack of professionalism, they finally sent a tenancy agreement, which we signed. We agreed to collect keys on 27/03 at 12pm. I paid the deposit via bank transfer on the evening of 26/03 and sent proof. Later that evening, they responded saying I should have paid over the phone and that the funds might take 3–4 days to arrive—meaning we might not be able to move in. Despite this, my bank confirmed the money had been transferred. The next morning (27/03), I again had to call them to confirm receipt—they confirmed they had received it. At nearly 10am, they insisted we still meet at 12pm. We were travelling from South London (over 2 hours away) and asked for a slightly later time (1–1:30pm), which was refused. The lettings manager became rude and raised her voice, saying if we didn’t attend at 12pm, we couldn’t move in. They then suggested we could collect keys from the office without an inventory, which we reluctantly agreed to. Shortly after, they called back to say the landlord had cancelled our application entirely. This whole experience was extremely stressful and unprofessional. I have rented for years and have never had to chase an agency at every single step like this. At no point did we feel supported or informed—only ignored and then blamed. Overall: terrible service, poor communication, and highly unprofessional staff. If you’re searching on Zoopla or Rightmove, always check the agency carefully. If you see Midland Residential Birmingham, avoid them and save yourself time, money, and stress.

11th Apr 2026 (24 days ago)Had a positive experience with OPA. A.J. in particular was excellent— clear communication, helpful advice, and very professional from start to finish. Made the whole process much easier.
23rd Apr 2026 (12 days ago)Trina from Oakmans was exceptional throughout my recent purchase. She was my 'go-to' person whenever the process slowed down. She was far more responsive than the legal teams and was always happy to jump in and push the solicitors to ensure we hit our deadlines. Very helpful, professional, and prompt. 5-star service!
