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.

How the first contact works

  1. 1

    Describe your goal: selling, letting or buying, property type and timeframe.

  2. 2

    The office replies with questions and a proposed appointment.

  3. 3

    Viewing or valuation appointment on site.

  4. 4

    Agree the agency contract and commission in writing before instructing.

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.

Oakmans lists professional property photography, video production and social media marketing among its marketing methods. Owners can request a sales or rental valuation through the website. An instant online estimate is also available. The provider explicitly describes this as a guide; a more accurate assessment is intended to take account of the property’s condition, improvements and the local market.

Editorial context

Working with a provider in Birmingham – what matters

When choosing an estate agent in Birmingham, owners should first establish whether they need help with a sale, finding tenants or ongoing property management. Oakmans lists all three services for Selly Oak. It therefore makes sense to request a written explanation of the relevant service scope, fees and responsibilities before appointing the agency. The supplied website extracts do not specify fees or contract durations.

For a sale, the valuation should be supported by a clear assessment of the individual property and the local market. An automated online estimate can provide an initial guide, but it does not replace a closer review of condition, features and any particular characteristics. For Oakmans’ stated photography, video and social media marketing, prospective clients should ask what is included, where the property will be advertised and how enquiries and viewings are organised. Audience reach alone does not establish whether the people reached are suitable prospective buyers or tenants.

For lettings and management, named contacts, repair reporting procedures and progress updates are particularly important. Owners should clarify who authorises repairs and how urgent issues are handled. For student accommodation, it is also worth discussing intended occupancy and the letting timetable.

Reviews can offer insights into communication and service. However, individual positive or negative experiences do not replace a review of the specific proposal and agreed responsibilities.

Selected reviews on Google

The supplied Google data reports a rating of 4.3 out of 5 from 1,732 reviews. Recurring positive themes in the selected reviews include responsiveness, regular updates and supportive service. Positive accounts cover both property sales and the longer-term management of several rental properties. Individual reviewers praise their home valuation, negotiations and the timing of a sale. In contrast, one critical review describes prolonged unresolved appliance and maintenance problems, alongside slow or absent responses during a tenancy. Another review recognises a donation to a local charity rather than an estate agency service. These comments reflect individual experiences within a selection and do not represent all reviews.

A huge thank you to Fran Shaw and the team at Oakmans! Cerebral Palsy Midlands is incredibly fortunate and grateful to be one of the charities involved in a year-long initiative. We received a £250 donation from Oakmans Estate Agents, which will help us continue supporting adults with cerebral palsy and other disabilities in our day service in the West Midlands. Our goal is to enable our clients to lead fulfilling lives through various daily activities, including music and vocal tuition, pottery, wheelchair dance, art, rock band tuition, community access, and other essential independent living skills. Donations like this make us able to continue the great work supporting and advocating for adults with disabilities locally.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I just wanted to take the time to recognise the excellent service I’ve received from Rhianna at Oakmans. Rhianna has been my account manager for the past three years, helping to manage and maintain multiple properties across my portfolio. Throughout that time, she has consistently provided a fantastic level of service. Whenever I’ve needed information, assistance, or an issue resolving, she has always been quick to respond — very often on the same day. Her communication, commitment and willingness to go above and beyond have been greatly appreciated. Managing multiple properties can come with its challenges, so having a reliable and responsive account manager makes a real difference. Thank you, Rhianna, for all your hard work and continued support over the last three years. It is genuinely much appreciated and deserves recognition. Highly recommended!

Really impressed with the service I received. The sales team were fantastic, always available when I needed them and great at keeping me updated every step of the way. They were friendly, proactive, and made the whole process feel much less stressful. Best of all, they managed to get the sale completed in less time than I thought possible. Couldn't be happier with the outcome and would happily recommend them to others. Alf
Alfred Jones · a month ago · Review on Google
Very poor service from this letting agency. Since moving into the property, we have faced multiple maintenance issues that have been reported several times but remain unresolved. Our induction hob has had problems for over a month, the washing machine has not been working for more than two months, and there has been a water leakage issue in the toilet for over two months as well. Despite repeatedly contacting the agency, communication has been poor and responses have been slow or non-existent. What is particularly frustrating is that while the agency expects rent to be paid on time every month, they do not show the same level of responsibility when dealing with tenants' maintenance concerns. It is extremely disappointing to be paying rent for a property where essential appliances and maintenance issues are ignored for months. A letting agency should ensure that tenants can live comfortab

We couldn’t be happier with the service we received throughout the sale of our home. From the very beginning, the team were professional, approachable, and supportive, making what can often be a stressful process feel so much more manageable. A special thank you to James, who first came to value our home. From our very first meeting, he was friendly, knowledgeable, and completely genuine. His honest advice, enthusiasm, and confidence gave us reassurance from the outset, and we knew we had chosen the right estate agent. He made a fantastic first impression and set the tone for the excellent service we received throughout. A huge thank you also to Ellie, who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to secure a sale for well over our asking price. Her hard work, determination, and excellent negotiation skills were invaluable, and we are so grateful for everything she did on our behalf. We trul

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.
