Viceroy Close , Bristol Road, Edgbaston

Robert Powell has gained an enviable reputation in Birmingham for its integrity and its high quality, impartial, confidential and professional property service. Perhaps best known for selling some of south Birmingham’s finest houses, our years of experience in the property market means that we are able to provide a full range of services, including: Private House Sales, Residential Lettings and Management, Property Acquisition, Land Disposal & Development Advice, Professional Services and Surveys, Commercial Property Management, Rural Land and Estate Management.

Private House Sales

This is our core business and probably what we are best known for. The Robert Powell brand name has become synonymous with middle to top-end of the market properties in Edgbaston, Harborne, Moseley, Selly Park, Barnt Green and Birmingham City Centre.

With over 80 years of combined sales experience, we consider that few companies can provide a similar level of service and expertise. We offer realistic advice on how to secure the best value for your property, rather than providing over-ambitious valuations in order to secure instructions.

Whatever your circumstances, we are able to adapt in order to meet your wishes and aspirations. We are specialists in conducting discreet marketing campaigns and off market disposals when the privacy of our client is a requirement. Our extensive database is updated daily which, along with our contacts and local knowledge, gives us the ability to “cherry pick” potential purchasers.

To talk about selling your property, or to register your requirement on our database, call our sales team on 0121 454 6930 or send us an email at sales@robertpowell.co.uk.

Residential Lettings

Our experienced letting team are here to help investors wishing to let their property for short or long-term periods. We can offer you peace of mind that the letting is not only in good hands, but that the best possible rents will be obtained. Our personal service has helped us to become one of the leading letting agents for newly built City Centre apartments and town houses, refurbished properties, and private houses throughout Birmingham and surrounding areas.

We are members of the Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA) which means that we follow their strict guidelines to ensure a high standard of service at all times.

Our Lettings Service includes:

• Inspections and advice on rental levels

• Marketing campaigns

• Viewings

• Ensuring all legal requirements are met

• Negotiating terms

• Tenancy agreements

• Handling deposits

• Inventories

In conjunction with the above, we also offer a management service incorporating rent collection, payment of outgoings, repairs and maintenance, and regular inspections.

Professional Services

With 110,000 members in 120 countries, The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) is the world's leading professional body addressing all aspects of land, property, construction and the associated environmental issues. An independent, not-for-profit organisation, RICS acts in the public interest, upholding standards of competence and integrity among its members and providing impartial, authoritative advice on major issues affecting business and society worldwide.

As Chartered Surveyors, Robert Powell are able to offer specialist professional advice and services. We have to follow strict guidelines and codes of conduct which means our clients can be certain that we are fully qualified to do the job in hand, and that the advice we give is the product of years of training and experience.

The main disciplines of our Professional Services are:

Surveys

We can undertake detailed building surveys on all types of residential and commercial properties throughout the Midlands. We arrange, as necessary, contractors estimates and specialist investigations.

Valuations

We carry out valuations of residential and commercial property of all types for a variety of purposes including acquisition, mortgage, probate, capital gains tax, balance sheet and insurance.

Homebuyer Reports

For most clients their home is their greatest single asset and as such, it is essential to obtain independent professional advice during the acquisition process. We are able to offer that specialist advice, backed up by over 25 years experience.

Dilapidations

We can prepare Schedules of Dilapidations for landlords and Schedules of Condition for tenants. We also offer general advice to landlords and tenants on dilapidation issues and disputes.

Expert Witness Reports

We are able to prepare Expert Witness evidence concerning property maters with particular emphasis on survey and valuation reports, building disputes and boundary matters.

Land Disposal and Development Consultancy

Over recent years Robert Powell has been involved in hundreds of millions of pounds worth of new developments in and around Birmingham. We have helped landowners unlock the value of their property by offering advice on disposal strategy, and we have helped developers maximise the value of their schemes by sharing our market expertise.

We have also been able to utilise our local knowledge and contacts to assemble complicated multi-ownership sites and convert them into viable and profitable development opportunities. We have built strong relationships with developers large and small, and we have gained a valuable reputation as ‘dealmakers’ in the marketplace.

Today, we continue to offer these services but with nationwide coverage. A recent change has seen our New Homes division form a joint venture with national firm DTZ to form DTZ Robert Powell New Homes. This has enabled us to broaden our horizons and has lifted the geographical restrictions that were previously holding us back from expanding this side of the business. (More information about DTZ Robert Powell can be found at the Home page)

Property Acquisition

Buying a house, flat or apartment can be time consuming and stressful, but it is likely to be the most important purchase you will ever make. We will do all the hard work for you and use our extensive knowledge of the market to eliminate the uncertainty, risk and stress that is associated with buying the property that you want.

This service has proved particularly valuable to purchasers moving into the area when local knowledge and long standing relationships with the leading selling agents has proved invaluable. We have also been able to help companies bring high earning employees into the area, who find that being offered our service as part of their relocation package provides them with the element of comfort they need in order to make the decision to move.

The service can be as basic or as comprehensive as you require, but could include any or all of the following:

Property Search

• A detailed property search can be provided throughout a wide geographical area, taking into account specific client requirements such as commuting distances, schools and other local facilities.

Valuation & Negotiation

• Where a property has been identified, an initial valuation inspection is undertaken prior to discussing the strategy of the purchase with the client. Thereafter we directly negotiate the purchase, utilising our experience and in many instances, close connections with the Vendor’s agents to bring about a smooth transition to the contract stage.

Survey and Formal Valuation

• Our Survey Department can then undertake a detailed structural survey or Homebuyers Report, whichever is considered appropriate. If required, a formal valuation report can be produced for bank or building society purposes.
