    Acres was founded by three highly experienced partners; Nigel Deekes, Michael Weaver and Richard Bakewell.

    The partners had been within the property industry for many years and offered a wealth of knowledge and experience having been both regional and area managers for a large multi national group after the sale of a previous successful business.

    In recent years Acres has become a family owned business with the partners Nigel & Jayne Deekes now running the company, joined by both Chris and Katie their children Acres now offer a truly bespoke personal service.

    Looking where the corporate agencies were, the partners knew that we offered something different for the Sutton Coldfield property market that was missing, a personal proactive service.

    Growing steadily and expanding from a new start Acres soon established ourselves as the sales team within the area. Acres bring together property experts and can supply every property need under one roof. There really isn't anything we can't do, from residential sales and lettings, to land sales or acquisition.

    Why use Acres to sell your property?

We're confident that having met us, either when we visit you to provide a Free no obligation valuation or within our office you will have a taste of what we can offer and that you'll be confident to place your property with us.

    What our clients say....

    Testimonials from Sellers

    • Seller Testimonial

      I would highly recommend them!
      Acres have been a key part of making sure the chain I have just been in hasn't collapsed. There are times in the past I have wondered what Estate Agents actually do for their fee.. not the case with the Acres team. I can testify that Louise and her team made sure, through constant communication with the direct people in the chain, all the Solicitors and the other estate agents in the chain, that all issues were followed up and resolved. They didn't leave things to snowball out of control. Hard working, dedicated and consistent attention to making sure your sale and purchase progresses through to exchange and completion.
    • Seller Testimonial

      had a great list of potential buyers
      Sharron and her team at Acres Wylde Green helped me sell my 2 bed terraced house in Erdington in Jan 2018. They were really good at keeping me up to date with all progress, had a great list of potential buyers and arranged multiple viewings together which was really convenient. As a consequence my house sold really quickly and I'd definitely recommend Acres to anyone planning to a move! Thanks again to you all!
    • Seller Testimonial

      they chased people up when things slowed down
      Thanks to the team Acres, Sutton Coldfield. We have just completed on the sale of my mum's flat. Everyone was really friendly and they kept me in the loop with what was going on. They chased people up when things slowed down. Great service.
    • Seller Testimonial

      Always professional and polite
      We have been so impressed with Louise (manager) and her team at Acres. Especially Laura.We were originally with another agent, and were extremely disappointed with the service we received.We moved to Acres, and glad we did. The girls in the office are very thorough . They always kept me informed on every viewing. Always professional and polite.I would highly recommend Acres at beeches walk. By far a superior service compared to other agents.Thank you
    • Seller Testimonial

      Would recommend them any day
      Eternally grateful to the whole team at Acres. It has been a long a stressful process and they have been there to support and assist every step of the way. They didn't even appear to mind my frequent exasperated phone calls. Lovely team. Would recommend them any day. Couldn't have done it without them and I will miss them! Thank you guys.
    • Seller Testimonial

      I would have no hesitation in recommending Acres
      I initially sold my house using an online agent. I had numerous problems with this from poor communication to lack of adequate financial checks on my buyers. The sale fell through 4.5 months down the line which was very frustrating. The brilliant staff at Acres had helped me find my dream house and so rather than lose my sale I signed up with Acres at Beeches Walk, I sold again 48 hours later. I can honestly say they were fantastic from start to finish. What many people do not consider when signing up with online agents is that selling is only the first piece of the jigsaw, the difficult and most stressful part is pushing the sale to completion. Without Louise and the other staff constant chasing and pushing this would never have happened, there was constant communication via phone calls and emails. I would have no hesitation in recommending Acres to anybody considering marketing their property. Thank you Acres I love my new house (or at least will when the renovations are complete)!
    • Seller Testimonial

      Never been so pleased with an agency
      I can't fault Louise and her team! Not your typical estate agents. Approachable, friendly, hard working and really efficient! Never been so pleased with an agency and I can't thank them enough for all their help.
