I had a fantastic experience with York Laurent while looking to rent a property in Birmingham. From the very beginning, the whole process was handled in a highly professional, friendly and efficient manner.
I would especially like to thank Jason Clark for his excellent service. Jason was extremely helpful, professional and approachable throughout the process. He took the time to answer all my questions, provided clear information and made the whole experience of finding and renting the property feel straightforward and stress-free.
Communication was excellent, and I always felt that I was being looked after properly. Jason went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled smoothly, from the initial viewing right through to moving in.
I would definitely recommend York Laurent to anyone looking for a professional and reliable letting agent in Birmingham.

I have rented in Birmingham for the last 10 years and in my experience York Laurent stands head and shoulders above the rest.
York Laurent have given me:
- Fast, clear and consistent communication on queries and maintenance
- Support with council tax documentation and energy supplier advice
- A professional group of contractors to execute maintenance requests
- Out of hours support for emergencies
- Honest communication regarding tenancy changes and the opportunity to discuss such changes, such has the 2026 Renter Rights Act
Its the simple things done incredibly well, which make York Laurent simply incredible!

I would recommend Jason from York Laurent very highly. He found great tenants for me, handled all the administration, send a fair invoice and continued to offer helpful advice and assistance afterwards even without the full management fee. He is very professional and always responsive. If you are looking for a great agent, dont hesitate to contact him.

A splendid experience that went far beyond my expectations. After switching from a very prominent letting agent, I found that they take excellent care of their responsibilities. As a foreign landlord, I truly value their service, which has completely eliminated the worries I had for so long.Good luck to YL and my relationship manager, Jason. Keep up the excellent work !

We have been working with York Laurent for over 2 years now. Ava is my main point of contact there, who is extremely proffesional, approachable and kind. I would highly recommend any landlords or tenants in Birmingham and the surrounding areas to get in touch with her if they want to be sure they will be well looked after!

I got a apartment on rent from them. They were very professional throughout the process. I did not face any challenge because of the lockdown. I would like to specially mention about Ava who although was working on reduced hours but was very responsive and very swift on all my queries. I so wish that I get professional people like you on all my other interaction.

Fantastic experience buying my first property with York Laurent. I had looked around a number of properties with Estate Agents who you could just tell didn't really care, but they really stood out when showing me around the properties on their portfolio. They had enthusiasm and cared about what I was looking to buy and what would suit my budget. When I came to make an offer, they were extremely helpful and engaged every step of the way.
They made the process a lot simpler and even helped to chase solicitors to speed up the process. I would highly recommend, and a big thank you to Lana who guided me past the finish line to owning my first flat.

I recently used York Laurent to let my city centre property. From the start, I found Mike really helpful in giving me all the advice and information I needed; he achieved the perfect balance of being friendly and approachable whilst remaining professional throughout. I also appreciated Mike's honesty and valued his opinion, particularly being as this was my first venture into buy to let territory.
I was thrilled when the 'perfect tenant' was put forward within just a couple of days of the property being marketed. I also found Judy in the office very helpful and professional - and all the necessary paperwork was processed quickly and with ease. Based on this very positive experience, I wouldn't hesitate to use York Laurent again!

We recently used York Laurent to find and purchase our Apartment in the Jewelry Quarter. Mike, our estate agent, was exceptional. Not only did he make himself available at all hours and take on additional responsibility after our solicitor had failed to obtain the necessary documents. But he also was able to negotiate an agreement between us and the seller where an issue arose late in the purchasing process that could have seen the sale fall through - with both us and the seller being completely satisfied with the outcome. We hope to be able to use him and York Laurent again in the future.

I had a fantastic experience renting a property through York Laurent. Viewed a few properties in the Jewellery Quarter and St Pauls Square, and found the perfect property viewing with Luke. Judy in the office helped me through the referencing and handover process and ensured the often stressful moving in period was as easy as possible. The maintenance department helped me with a few issues I experienced during my tenancy, and also ensured the deposit release process was smooth.
I would not hesitate to recommend York Laurent to anyone moving to Birmingham City Centre, and if I was to move back, they would be my first choice Letting Agent. Thank you all at York Laurent for making my tenancy as smooth and enjoyable as possible!

Me and my boyfriend viewed properties with a number of agents in the city centre and York Laurent provided by far the best service. Mike showed us round a property that hadn't yet gone on the market and we LOVED it. It was such a relief having seen some appalling apartments with the likes of Accord and a couple of others. Judy sorted out our contracts, move in date, inventory clerk etc and she has been absolutely fantastic.
Always very prompt to reply and keep us updated. Since moving in we haven't really had any issues but Judy and the York Laurent team have been very quick to respond to any questions we have had. Couldn't recommend them enough. Plus, they have two lovely offices in the city centre which makes them easy to visit and keep in touch with.

As a successful businessman, I noticed that lettings was a profitable way to make money, so invested in a few properties in the Jewellery Quarter, I shopped around on various city centre agencies, including Maguire Jackson, Belvoir, Accord and a few others, and found the staff in these 3 that I have listed to be rude and did not want to accommodate me, upon reading various reviews of York Laurent, I was skeptical to say the least.
I visited York Laurent's office on Frederick Street, and found the staff in the front office to completely contradict the reviews. They were polite, professional, courteous and made me feel as if I was their priority. They scheduled me in for an appraisal and was met by Michael, who was extremely professional, knew what he was supposed to be doing, unlike various other agents that have visited my property, and was delighted when he gave me a good value for the property.
They found me a tenant within 10 days which was excellent, and who I have had one rent payment late, but Sue in accounts was straight on the case. IF YOU WANT TO BE LOOKED AFTER, USE YORK LAURENT!
