Oakmans Estate Agents, Birmingham
3 ★★★☆☆
Letting Agent rating
Rated 5*s because if you word it right (i.e. be assertive and know your damn rights), they are quite good at responding to maintenances calls. They're also quite good at communication too, and their staff and workers are really friendly. Just do not let them pressure you into anything - you can take time to think about things if you need. There is no urgency like they will try to force you into thinking.
Just be aware, they will to get money out of you with a few sneaky things - take pictures before you leave the house! - but ESPECIALLY with the 'bills package'. Do your maths and make an informed choice (ask older students / your parents if you're going into second year!!), because those rates are absolute daylight robbery. Genuinely, their partner Housr will offer you a bills package that will charge YOU as an individual about 3-4x what you would pay as a HOUSE for your bills. Imagine that times the amount of people in your house - it is a straight up money-making scheme.
They're okay estate agents, but you gotta stand your ground. Genuinely, most student agents will try to take advantage of your inexperience and your busy-ness and Oakman's unfortunately falls into this category in some ways. All you gotta do is play the same game back - stand your ground, know your rights, and you will see that they are actually more busy than you and don't have the time nor the gall to fight you. It's much easier to get them under your thumb than you'd think (sounds bad but there is nothing wrong with it! Just be polite, professional, and a good tenant - assertively) and it'll save you a lot of stress.

3 ★★★☆☆
Property rating
A decent house, pretty cute. Nice layout, good size for the amount of people, and in a much nicer area than the rest of Selly Oak. 2 bathrooms which is a plus. Can get a little cold, but all Selly houses are like that. Nicely laid out and furniture was better quality than most. I do miss it.
Just be aware you are far into Selly so have plans for getting home! The Selly Express is a good option.

Area rating
Much nicer than Selly. Quieter, seems a little less dodgy at night, cute and nice to walk around. Close to Cadbury World. The Aldi is great, and I hear the new Lidl is too. The Morrison's is great too.
