⭐ Another Off-Market Success Story in Dickens Heath – Before It Even Hit Rightmove

Partridge Homes – The Go-To Letting Agents for Dickens Heath, Shirley & Solihull

When Blanka contacted our Lettings Office in Shirley, she explained that she and her husband were searching for a rental home in Dickens Heath — a village they loved, but where availability is often limited and competition is high.

Coincidentally, we were assisting a client who was in the process of purchasing an apartment in the area as a Buy-to-Let investment. With strong knowledge of the local market, tenant profiles, and demand levels, we immediately knew this could be the perfect match.

➡️ We arranged a viewing while the landlord’s purchase was still progressing
➡️ Due to conflicting diaries, we organised two separate viewings — one for Blanka, one for her husband
➡️ The property never appeared on Rightmove or Zoopla
➡️ By completion day, the tenants were approved, referenced, and ready to occupy

For the landlord — zero void period and peace of mind.
For the tenants — a stress-free, private route into their new home.
For us — another example of how real connections and proactivity beat portals and algorithms.

❤️ The Joy of a Genuine 5-Star Review

After the move, we received this fantastic review from Blanka:

“Lovely team and Paul was particularly helpful in arranging the viewings for us and accommodating our busy schedule.”
– Blanka Csorba, Dec 2025

Reviews like this mean the world to our team — and even more so because, as a family-run independent business, we do occasionally experience unfair or fake one-star reviews online.

These reviews can be extremely damaging, especially when they are not from real customers or relate to situations completely beyond our control. People often don’t realise that every negative review hits a small business much harder than a large corporate.

That’s why honest, thoughtful feedback from real clients genuinely helps us grow, build trust, and stand apart from faceless online chains and automated “support centres”.

So — to Blanka — thank you again. Your words didn’t just help our reputation; they lifted our team.

❓ Q&A with Paul Partridge

Lettings Specialist – Partridge Homes Letting Agents

Q: Why do tenants come directly to Partridge Homes for Dickens Heath properties?

Paul: Because we’ve been placing families and professionals in Dickens Heath for many years. We know the developments, the management companies, the landlord expectations, the parking situations, and even the commute timings. Tenants want advice from people who genuinely know the village — not a call centre reading off a screen.

Q: What’s different about your off-market approach?

Paul: Many of our landlords want a calm, discreet process. Likewise, many tenants would rather not compete against 40 enquiries in the first hour online. Off-market allows us to match the right people to the right property — often before the listing ever goes live.

Q: Do you find tenants proactively ask to register for off-market opportunities?

Paul: Every week. People relocating to the area, especially professionals and corporate tenants, register months in advance. Dickens Heath remains extremely desirable, so if we know a property is coming, we can secure viewings early and responsibly.

Q: What types of homes are most in demand right now?

Paul:
✔ Village-centre apartments
✔ Family homes with parking
✔ Corporate relocation-friendly properties
✔ Modern, well-maintained rentals
✔ Homes suitable for long-term lets

If a landlord invests in presenting the right home — we can normally find the right tenant quickly.

Q: Do you need more properties in Dickens Heath?

Paul: Yes, urgently. We have vetted applicants who want to move in the next 2–6 weeks. Whether it’s an apartment, townhouse or family home — if it’s in Dickens Heath, we’d love to speak with you.
