DB Roberts in short

DB Roberts Oakengates is the firm's Oxford Street branch, handling sales and lettings with a named local team and a valuation route on its page. What stands out is the professional backing: RICS membership and RICS client money protection are stated on its own pages, and complaint handling runs to an ombudsman on whose register the firm appears.

Customers rate the branch highly: 4.9 from 354 Google reviews, among the strongest customer records in this round. There is no other review source on record, so the Google record carries the story alone. The company behind the branch has a long active record.

Our view is that DB Roberts suits sellers and landlords who value a chartered practice with documented redress and money protection behind the sale or let. What counts against it is price, with no fees published, and cover, which is not stated on the pages checked.
