Birmingham's trusted local estate agent

I have been extremely impressed with Jilly throughout the process of selling my property. From the initial valuation, she was helpful, friendly, polite and professional. She took the time to explain everything clearly and in detail, answered my questions and made the whole process feel straightforward and reassuring.

Jilly has also conducted a number of the viewings at my property and the service she provides is excellent. She is knowledgeable, engaging and takes the time to explain the property properly to potential buyers, which is exactly what you would hope for from an estate agent representing your home.

Whilst my experience with Oakmans as a whole has not always been as consistent, Jilly has been superb throughout and is a real credit to the company. If you are considering selling with Oakmans, I would strongly recommend asking for Jilly.

I can’t recommend Oakmans Estate Agents Northfield highly enough. From start to finish, the whole team were professional, knowledgeable and always kept us informed throughout the process. Their communication was excellent, and nothing ever seemed too much trouble.

A very special mention goes to Laura Mallon, who went above and beyond for us. Laura was incredibly professional, approachable and supportive every step of the way. Her knowledge, dedication and genuine care made what could have been a very stressful experience so much easier.

If you’re looking for an estate agent who truly puts their customers first, I would definitely recommend Oakmans Northfield. Thank you, Laura, and the whole team, for your outstanding service!

These comments from me are purely based on my direct interaction with my Protection Specialist Advisor, Lisa Gilsenan. I consider myself fortunate that I was introduced to herself by her colleague (who’s my mortgage adviser) for she specialises in protection / insurance.

When you are buying a house for the first time, like in my case, you seek not only a professional but also a friend who would (virtually) hold your hand and take you through the process. Well, if you are keen to have such a friendly hand, she is the lady.

On the top of being a first-time buyer, I am an old man who is buying a house much much later in his life, that is, well over half a century I have lived on the face of Earth. So, I particularly, needed a consultant who is exceptionally patient and pleasant at the same time. I got lucky to have her to help me with the entire insurance/protection process. I felt fully protected with her! 😊

Furthermore, I do not understand financial and mortgage language / terminologies. So, Lisa would sit down and first explain to me the terms/terminologies and associated implications before proceeding with any step/stage of the protection process. She not only explained repeatedly at times for me being slow to understand, but also, she’d use examples form daily life to elaborate various complicated scenarios so that a lay man can easily relate to.

She found me the best deal which covered all the eventualities in terms of life insurance against critical illness and terminal illness, despite being an old man. In Lisa I have found nothing but total quality in everything she says and does. I have noticed her communications (both oral as in over the phone or online meetings as well as in writing) to be friendly, effective, and professional.

I would strongly recommend her to anyone as your protection / insurance adviser. You can not find one better than her, as she’s the best.

We had a particularly tricky property to sell and out of 3 agents we had around to look at the house, Ryan at Oakmans immediately filled us full of confidence. They took fantastic images of the house and their marketing is 2nd to none. Then, throughout the process they showed expertise and great customer service. Trina was proactive throughout and kept things ticking when solicitors dragged their feet. I couldn’t recommend Oakmans enough! Thanks guys!

From beginning to end they provided an excellent service. I was made to feel like my house sale was top of their agenda.
Good communication when your solicitors are not communicating is key.
Lesley MacPherson helped to keep my sale on track. Thank you is not enough

Oakmans help in selling our property was first rate. We were always dealt with promptly, respectfully and with patience and professionalism . Contact with them has been an easy experience and Lesley in the sales progression team has always been friendly , helpful, very cheery and kind which has been very much appreciated. Would recommend to anyone to use Oakmans.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Lisa Gilsenan to secure a mortgage for our new home, and we truly couldn’t be more grateful for her support throughout the entire process.

From the very beginning, Lisa was a constant source of knowledge, guidance, and reassurance. She made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. Her professionalism, patience, and genuine willingness to help made all the difference.

No matter how many questions we had (and we had plenty!), Lisa was always just a call or message away—ready to respond with clarity, care, and a smile. She went above and beyond at every stage, and her dedication truly stood out.

Even though we purchased our home through different estate agents who recommended their own mortgage advisors, we confidently chose Lisa—and it was the best decision we could have made. She acted solely in our best interest and handled everything with absolute expertise and integrity.

We wholeheartedly recommend Lisa to anyone in need of mortgage advice or support. You will be in the most capable and caring hands!
