What to look for in Birmingham

With agents in Birmingham, look for local knowledge of the neighbourhood, a transparent valuation and a clear contract. In Germany a licence under § 34c Trade Regulation Act is mandatory.

Editorial note for orientation – not legal or investment advice.

Common questions before you enquire

Who pays the commission on a purchase in Germany?

When flats and single-family houses are sold to consumers, the commission is generally split equally (§ 656c German Civil Code). The contract must be in text form.

Which documents should I prepare?

Land register extract, floor plans, floor area calculation, energy certificate and, for flats, the declaration of division and recent owners' meeting minutes.

Is the first estimate free?

Many agents offer a non-binding initial estimate. Ask beforehand whether any costs apply.

Editorial context

Working with a provider in Birmingham – what matters

When choosing an estate agent in Birmingham, first establish which service is required: selling, letting, assistance with a purchase or managing a property investment. Essence identifies these areas on its website, but the supplied extracts do not explain every stage of the work. Before instructing the agency, request a written outline of the services, fees, possible additional charges and contract duration.

For a sale, useful questions include how the asking price is supported, which marketing activities are planned and who coordinates viewings and feedback. As Essence’s search includes several Birmingham districts and Solihull, prospective clients should ask about experience with comparable properties in the specific location. A selectable search area does not itself establish how many transactions have been completed there.

For lettings and portfolio management, distinguish between finding a tenant and providing ongoing management. Responsibilities for maintenance, accounts and reporting should be clarified explicitly. Investors should also understand the assumptions behind property selection and how running costs, vacancy and maintenance needs are considered.

The selected reviews offer indications of clients’ perceptions of communication, but do not replace a discussion about named contacts and agreed updates. A quick completion mentioned in one review is not a reliable timetable for other transactions. These points provide general guidance, not legal advice.

I recently purchased a property through Essence Property Investment & Management, and the service I received was excellent from start to finish. Jon was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly thorough when showing me around the property. He took the time to answer all my questions honestly and made sure I had all the information I needed before moving forward. The entire purchase process was handled very efficiently and completed in just four weeks, which is an impressive turnaround in today’s property market. Communication from Jon was excellent throughout, and I was kept informed at every stage, making what can often be a stressful process feel straightforward and well managed. I would highly recommend Essence Property Investment & Management to anyone looking to buy a property. A big thank you to Jon and the team for providing such a smooth and professional service.

I’m really grateful for Bogdan at Essence Property. I just moved to the city and he helped me find the perfect place. He’s super friendly, patient, and really attentive. He listened to every single requirement I had, discussed everything in detail, and never rushed me. Thanks to him, the whole process was smooth and stress-free. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience! 🙌

John Smith has been very active, honest, and professional throughout the sale of my property. He is knowledgeable about the local area and the property market, and it is clear that he knows what he is doing. He listens to your concerns and always does his best to find the right solution. John was great in communication and kept me informed every step of the way. He even answered my call while he was on sick leave. He liaised effectively with both solicitors and the buyer, and I always felt that my sale was in the right hands and that he was on top of everything. Everyone had told me to expect a long and stressful process, but with John by my side, it was smooth, straightforward, and much quicker than I expected. I am extremely pleased with his service and would not hesitate to recommend him.

Working with Jon from Essence Real Estate made the entire process of selling the property remarkably smooth and efficient. He truly stands out as one of a kind. Communication was exceptional from start to finish—prompt, clear, and consistent, with no sense of limited “office hours.” I was kept informed at every stage, giving me real confidence and peace of mind throughout the process. What really sets him apart is the strength of his network. His client circle is clearly very well established and exclusive, which was evident when he managed to secure a buyer before the property even officially went on the market. Jon also proved invaluable when navigating more stressful moments, offering calm, practical guidance and reassurance when it was needed most. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jon to anyone looking for a highly professional, proactive, and well-connected estate agent.

Communication is excellent throughout the process, and he's proactive in keeping everything moving smoothly. A genuine pleasure to work with, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jon to anyone looking for a trustworthy estate agent.

Services in this field explained

Property valuation

A valuation estimates the price a property can achieve on the market, based on location, condition, size, fittings and comparable sales.

What does a valuation cost? Many agents offer an initial estimate free of charge. A formal market value report by a certified surveyor is paid; the fee depends on the property and effort.

Selling property

When you sell, an agent handles valuation, exposé, viewings, negotiation and the notary appointment.

Who pays the agent's commission? When flats and single-family houses are sold to consumers, the commission is generally split between seller and buyer (§ 656c German Civil Code).

Letting

When letting, an agent takes care of listing, viewings, tenant selection and the tenancy agreement.

Who pays the agent when letting? Since 2015 the “orderer pays” principle applies to residential lettings: usually the landlord pays when they hired the agent.
