Connecting With The Community At Our Touchwood Pop-Up Event

The Touchwood pop-up event gave the Oakmans team the chance to step away from the office and spend the day meeting homeowners, landlords, buyers and local residents in the heart of Solihull.

Our stand at Touchwood Shopping Centre was all about making property conversations easier and more approachable. There were no appointments and no pressure — just an opportunity to meet the team, ask questions and get straightforward advice about selling, letting and the local property market.

Alongside plenty of property conversations, we brought balloons, chocolate and family entertainment to the stand, making it a relaxed day for shoppers of all ages.

Bringing Oakmans Into the Heart of Solihull

One of the best things about our Touchwood pop-up event was being able to speak with people face-to-face in a familiar local setting.

Property decisions often begin with a simple question. How much could my home be worth? Is now the right time to sell? What should I consider before becoming a landlord? What is happening in the local market?

Rather than requiring people to book an appointment before asking those questions, the pop-up gave visitors the opportunity to stop by whenever it suited them.

For us, that personal connection matters. Online property listings, emails and digital tools are useful, but sometimes there is no substitute for sitting down with someone who understands the areas you are interested in and having a straightforward conversation.

Property Conversations Without the Pressure

Throughout the day, our team spoke with people at very different stages of their property journey.

Some were already considering putting their home on the market. Others wanted to understand more about letting a property, while some were simply curious about what their home could currently be worth.

That meant conversations covered everything from property valuations and preparing a home for sale to landlord questions and general insights into the Solihull property market.

There was no expectation that someone visiting the stand had to be ready to sell or let immediately.

The Touchwood pop-up event was designed to give local people somewhere they could ask questions, meet members of the Oakmans team and leave with a clearer idea of their options.

Exclusive Offers for Touchwood Visitors

We also introduced exclusive promotional offers for homeowners and landlords who visited the Oakmans stand.

These included special fee discounts available as part of the event, giving people who were already considering selling or letting another reason to come and speak with the team.

The offers were just one part of the day, however. More importantly, the event created an opportunity for people to discuss their individual circumstances before deciding on their next step.

Every property and every move is different, so understanding the situation first is always important.

Why Face-to-Face Events Matter to Oakmans

Our Touchwood pop-up event was about more than promoting properties or services. It was an opportunity to be present in the communities we work across and make the people behind Oakmans easier to meet.

We work with homeowners, buyers, landlords and tenants across areas including Solihull, Shirley, Harborne, Northfield and Bromsgrove.

Being visible in local places gives people another way to start a conversation with us. Instead of having to begin online or over the phone, they can meet the team first and ask the questions that matter to them.

That approach reflects something we value at Oakmans: property advice should feel accessible.

Whether somebody is preparing to move now or simply wants to understand their options for the future, they should be able to get useful information without feeling under pressure to make an immediate decision.

What Can You Ask the Oakmans Team?

If you come across an Oakmans stand at a local event, you do not need to arrive with a detailed plan.

You might want to ask about:

• What your property could be worth
• Preparing a home before putting it on the market
• Selling a property in Solihull or the surrounding areas
• Letting your home and becoming a landlord
• Current buyer or tenant demand
• The process of arranging a property valuation
• Moving between different areas of Birmingham and Solihull

You can also simply stop by and meet the people you may later be dealing with.

The relaxed atmosphere was one of the highlights of the Touchwood pop-up event, giving visitors the freedom to have an informal conversation before deciding whether they needed more detailed property advice.
