Dynamic estate agent. One of the best I have used

As a property investor who has delt with many estate agents, I can contest that Oakheart are one of, if not the best estate agents I have come across. The property itself was a relatively easy sale and I believe any good estate agent could have achieved a sale. However .. the difference with Oakheart was in their outstanding level of enthusiasm and sales progression (thank you Annalise) which was exemplary. I put this down to having a young dynamic but experienced team (it shows if you visit the office) along with a good procedural and sales progression systems. Not once did I fail to reach Oakheart either by email or phone. In addition the online sales progression tool was a great self service way to understand where both myself and the buyer were in the process. Very impressed with all.

Everything I could want from an estate agent

I had the pleasure of dealing with Richard Baker. I requested a viewing for a flat I liked the look of, he showed me that flat as well as another much nicer flat that had just become available that I ended up going with. Oak heart was easy to deal with and kept me informed all the way along, I have worked with many different estate agent personally and professionally over the past 10 years and would be happy to recommend Oakheart as one of the best experiences I’ve had.

Don't hesitate to choose this company to act for you - you won't regret it

I was by no means relishing the prospect of undergoing the process of selling my home but with the Oakheart Property team working for me, I couldn't have hoped for a better estate agent. The staff were friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable, provided excellent customer service and were easy to contact at all times. Of particular note were both Craig, who worked hard on my behalf and successfully negotiated with the buyers, and Annalise, who progressed the sale thereafter, efficiently and regularly checking up on every process stage and informing me of each step. I never felt 'out of the loop' with this team and was really pleased I had chosen them.

Craig and Annaliese!

Craig and Annaliese, what can I say.. we've finally exchanged contracts! Craig done an amazing job at selling our flat couldn't fault in anyway.. he was very professional dealing with our sale and I'm mega chuffed with how much he sold our flat for. Amazing at negotiating and we're super happy. Thanks Craig!Annaliese an angel in disguise! She has been absolutely amazing in this whole process, from ringing daily to keeping me updated on our sale process, to dealing with our solicitors from both parties and another estate agents.. to answering my messages at stupid o'clock at night! If I could give you a huge bonus I really would. You're credit to the company 👏 and they are lucky to have you. Even another estate agent sang your praises and told me to write a really good review for you. So this is from us both (he doesn't want to look like a traitor) thank you Annie and the gin will soon be on its way to your desk.

Tommy Scott has been fantastic

Tommy Scott has been fantastic in helping us get an offer accepted on our first home. He got us a viewing before the property was even on the market and negotiated brilliantly to get the property for us. He was still in contact with us beyond office hours to help get the sale tied up and we couldn’t be more grateful for his support.

Thank you Oak heart

I'd like to say how great oak heart have been from Craig to getting the sale and especially to Annalise for keeping me updated every step.of the way through this sale. It was not as smooth as I'd hoped and did take a long time to go through but Charlie and his team did a great job to make sure we got there in the end and I am very grateful for all the teams hard work!

AVOID by all means

Rented with Oakheart for one year and probably the worst decision of my life. - they falsely advertised the property re contents (we had to buy white goods after being promised differently); they refused to repair maintenance issues; they try to charge the tenants for fixing plumbing issues which was down to landlord (in order to preserve their income); they left us with a broken water pump which meant no water access at night for about 5 months. When it came to renewal, we said we will not renew unless the water pump is sorted, on which occasion we were given eviction notice for asking for the repairs. We made complaints to the agency regarding the above, to which the lettings director emailed us to tell us they need to act as a business and protect their income so they will side with the landlord and they don't care about tenants. When it came to the deposit release, our check out report said we left the property in perfect condition, however the agency took over a month to get the deposit back after continuous arguments. These are just a summary of all the issues we've had renting through this estate agent, and it failed to deliver by all means any good service. Not only we ended up being evicted, but because of how poor they are, the landlord did not actually continue renting through them either. They talk a big game, but they only look after their own profits therefore, I would avoid at all cost.

Agent replied · 11 June 2024

Dear Stefan,I am saddened to see that you feel we have given you a less than satisfactory service. As we have advised on a number of occasions, we act on the landlords instruction which means that if the landlord does not authorise a repair, we cannot just instruct the work. As you are aware, the landlord chose to serve notice due to a change in their own circumstances that meant they needed to move into the property. I have never emailed you advising I wish to protect our income and will side with the landlords and am incredibly upset that you have made this unfounded accusation. As advised, we were not able to release the deposit until we had the landlord's consent. Despite my recommendations to return your full deposit, the landlord had a discrepancy of damage which you were completely updated about. The landlord ultimately agreed to return your full deposit on our recommendation. As this is the second time you have amended a 5 star review to 1 star I would be eager to speak with you further to see if there is a resolution we can come to. Best Regards

The best estate agents I have used so far. They are so efficient and professional. House went on the market, 10 viewings booked within a few days and the house was under offer in less than a week. Their communication is great and I found all the staff so friendly and personable. Craig especially has been brilliant. Very polite and knowledgeable. I was very nervous having not sold a house before and he really helped me through this. I got a great deal and was extremely happy from start to finish. Highly recommend.

Well… Where do I start?

Well… Where do I start?I had my house on the market for two months with another agency in that time I had over 15 viewings however no offers..This particular agency pushed me and ultimately didn’t deliver. I have a good friend who works for Oakheart and one day we got talking, admittedly at the time I had never heard of them as they are a relatively new estate agent. I met with Daryl who I believe is one of Oakheart‘s directors, he came to my house and agreed with the same valuation that the last estate agent had also I then decided to take the leap to also bring on Oakheart. This was the best decision that I made and I couldn’t be happier to have taken the leap of faith, oakheart booked in over 20 viewings within the first eight days and also received five offers within the first week, comparing that to the other estate agent I was blown away, but just so happy. I believe Charlie was the actual agent who sold my house and he didn’t just accept the first offer he pushed the client as high as he thought they would go on as close to our sale price. Both Daryl and Charlie were informative professional and made both my partner and I feel extremely comfy. Once the house was sold the stress really does begin and in my case the stress has been never ending (all down to Soliciter’s) this is where having a sales progression team is so important when selecting an estate agent. The sales progression team at Oakheart have honestly been amazing and Annalise has been a god send this past 7 months, she has been incredibly helpful and supportive. She has constantly gone above and beyond in order to help and support me, I have probably spoken to her more times in the past seven months than my own family… she has constantly put my mind at ease and helped even by chasing parties that she has no connection to in order to get the case done and to exchange. I cannot thank Annalise, Darell and Charlie enough along with the rest of the team at Oakheart.THANK YOU

Professional setup but needs work

Very professional during initial period of sale with nice brochures, however it goes down hill from there. They have alot of timewasters on their buyers list that they clearly don't vet.Craig uses high pressure sale techniques to try and get the sale through at the detriment of the seller. The sale progression team have a complete lack of knowledge around new build estate issues, i.e property maintenance companies and the need to get the deed of variation changed to satisfy mortgage providers. They made us feel that they were working on behalf of the buyer, rather than us even though they squeezed nearly 5k out of us.Perhaps all estate agents are the same but I certainly will not use this firm again.
