DB Roberts in short

DB Roberts Oakengates is the lettings and property management arm of a Shropshire agency, working from Oxford Street with its team published on the branch page. Our verdict is that DB Roberts Oakengates suits landlords who want the firm's dedicated management department looking after the tenancy. Redress is on the register and client money protection with RICS is stated. Free valuation routes are published, and the compliance page sets out the complaints route and protection in full.

Customer reviews are excellent on the only public source we hold, with a 4.9 rating from 354 Google reviews and nothing else on file. The company record sits on Companies House behind the same operator as the Telford branch. No fee scale or VAT position is published, so costs only emerge at valuation.
