I have requested to view about 15 properties yet after over a week they have not even replied to one of them, not even to say if they have been already rented. I sent them an email with my background and what I am looking for, yet they haven’t even bother to reply my email. Apart of sending an email, I sent about 10 request throughout their websites providing all my details to contact me. Awful.

Hi Patricia, I'm sorry that nobody has replied to the e-mail that you sent. We deserve this bad review. Unfortunately, your e-mail was sent to the wrong mailbox. This however does not excuse the fact that we should have still found a way to come back to you and provide you with the service you deserve. I’ll connect with you my colleague who will make sure you are given the best possible service moving forward. Thank you, James Byrne Managing Director

Really happy with the service that Daniel provided, he kept us informed about everything from start to finish. He made what can be a stressful situation feel very relaxed, also if Daniel wasn’t available Conal was always fully aware of everything to assist us. John

Conal was instrumental in us securing our first home. From arranging a property viewing that perfectly matched our needs through to supporting us with completion, Conal demonstrated high attention to detail and good responsiveness throughout. We'd be happy to recommend him in case you are looking to buy or sell a house with someone dependable, positive and trustworthy.

I can’t recommend Oaks highly enough, especially Daniel and Amin. From the valuation to moving day and the whole process in between, the service was brilliant. They were professional but personable and friendly - always contactable and went above and beyond to ensure all went smoothly.

We are first-time buyers, so we don't have an experience to compare this to - but that said, Oaks have been excellent. Jaedan was my point of contact throughout the whole process, and I'll certainly be considering them in the future when we come to sell our property. Thanks!

It was a pleasure working with Conal and the rest of the team. They assisted me through the journey of selling and buying my new property. It was all done in a seamless way. I always felt the most welcome visiting the OAKS office, nothing was too much from signing documents or using their broadband. Thank you OAKS.

I was very pleased with the service given to me by Oaks when selling my property. From the very start of the process they showed great attention to detail and kept me updated constantly throughout the sale. Everything was handled in an efficient and pleasant manner. I have no hesitation in giving them a 5 star rating.

Hi All, I’ve been waiting to leave this review for quite some time but life’s been pretty manic over the las few months. I bought a property last year which should have been a great experience. Unfortunately, due to the incompetence of some of the agents at Oaks, it was unpleasant. Due to my busy working schedule, I wasn’t able to view a property on the same day my partner did. I tried to organise a viewing at a later date but each time was meet with some sort of excuse. Having had an offer accepted it took more than 6 weeks for me to physically see the property. The reasons given we’re that the vendor wasn’t able to accommodate the viewings midweek. This was a complete lie because I asked the vendor at the property. The vendor also mentioned communications we’re extremely poor which was evident to see. This behaviour is unfriendly and lacked professionalism. The we're 2 occasions on the phone when they we're belligerent when I tried to discuss concerns regarding surveys. Food for thought, Commission isn’t everything. For those interested in instructing this agency, think again. Please ensure you’ve built genuine rapport because they will be the representation of your home. All I ask is that you be accountable and get better. Do better Oaks. I understand Oaks will reply with a message to try and make this seem like an isolated situation.

Agent replied · 17 June 2024

Hi Urban StockCube, Unfortunately, because your review has been posted under an alias, I am unable to address your concerns directly. If you purchased a property from us last year and have only seen fit to leave a review now, we must have really upset you so for that reason, I’m sorry. I have no interest in making out that it’s an isolated incident. I do take pride in replying to reviews good and bad but I will however, publicly go on record and say that we have been known to irritate some buyers whose surveys flag up so-called “issues” on properties that have been standing tall and safe for over 100 years. Therefore, any form of renegotiations is always out of the question as far as we are concerned. I make no apology for working in our vendors best interests and will continue to do so. Whilst you have every right to share your experience, it’s worth noting that since we opened up in South Norwood, not one vendor has left a negative review and they are the ones that we work on behalf of and pay our fee. Do feel free to e-mail me directly if you wish to discuss further as I’m always open to constructive feedback that will help me grow my business: james.byrne@oaksestateagents.com I wish you nothing but luck and success in your new home. Thank you, James Byrne Managing Director

The South Norwood team have provided an excellent and friendly service. Selling or buying a house in the current climate can be an extremely challenging experience, but their team demonstrated they have what it takes to push through all the ups and downs we experienced and represented our interests when we needed them to. Thank you guys.

Conal and Daniel at the South Norwood office were so on the ball and were integral to ensuring the sale went through as fast and smoothly as possible. They kept on top of everything and were always reachable for any questions. As a buyer we absolutely were happy dealing with them and would for sure use them if we become the seller in future! Thanks again to them both and especially to Conal for spending so much time with us that first day showing us lots of properties in the area.

I would highly recommend Oaks Estate Agents for buying a property, in particular Daniel who is based at the Portland Rd office. After having been messed around by previous vendors for over 5months, Daniel knew we were serious buyers & helped us find an alternative property quickly which matched our criteria. We were kept informed throughout the process & I found Daniel very approachable and kept to his word w.r.t to timelines & check-ins which put us at ease after such a bad experience previously. As we had to wait for probate with the vendors Daniel ensured regular communications were maintained between us & the vendors so we knew where we stood and we felt we could trust him to be working in our best interest also. Other colleagues such as Conal who work in the office were also very helpful, so overall we were very happy with the service we received. Thank you Daniel & Team.

I can’t recommend Oaks enough. I went from thinking about moving to having the keys in my hand just 7 weeks later. The partners they recommended were excellent and Dane went above and beyond - even giving me a lift between viewings and meeting me with keys when I ran late. They were helpful and professional at all stages.

Daniel and the team were brilliant at supporting us with the sale of our house. Right from the first meeting through to completion they were on top of everything, were brilliant with communication and continued to progress the sale even when there were a few bumps in the road, which they helped us navigate.

Very happy will the service received from Oaks Estate Agent, from the first instruction, right through to completion of my sale, the team was proactive, friendly, professional and knowledgeable, especially Daniel, Kerri, Megan and Conal. As you know buying/selling can be a stressful process, I would definitely recommend Oaks to take the stress out of the process. Thank you to all mentioned above. Sharon

Instructed Oaks to sell our house in South Norwood mid September 2022. Sale was complete in Mid December 2022. Received honest advice throughout in terms of house valuation and market situation. Despite interest rate rises and an uncertain economic outlook they secured plenty of viewings and in-depth feedback from potential buyers which was very useful in deciding on a price to accept. After a sale was agreed Dane worked hard to keep everything moving forward, getting answers to queries and sorting out hold ups. If you’re selling in South Norwood then these are the guys to use.

Id recommend using Oaks . Got my house sold in a reasonably difficult market. Dane was great with the communication and kept me up-to-date at all times. Their rates were pretty decent too, cheaper than 2 of their competitors.

The best estate agent ever!! We have no words to express our gratitude to Dane, an estate agent from oaks estate agents in South Norwood. Dane was attentive, approachable and supportive during the purchase of our home. He was very quick at responding to all our questions and was able to reassure us throughout the process from the start to the end. Dane went the extra mile to ensure the process run smoothly and quickly. This was a very quick purchase and we had no issue at all during the process. Thank you Dane and keep up the great work!

They really do go the extra mile. From meeting Daniel initially, to Conal conducting the viewings and Dane progressing the sale along, their professionalism really stood out. Daniel was true to his word when he came round to value the property -that they really care about giving excellent service, and I fully agree. They also recommended the solicitors that we used, and between Oaks and the Solicitors, I never had to wait more than 2hrs for a response to any of my emails or calls. A special mention to Dane who was so proactive and on-top of everything. Thank you all.

Had a very positive experience with Oaks from the start, from the initial consultation Daniel was friendly and informative. We went ahead with the open day style of viewings and had offers in the first week. Daniel and Dane who handled my sale kept me up to date with how everything was going. Although had a few hiccups along the way I am now moved in and settling into my new home. I could contact either with any queries and they were always very fast to respond which really helps in this type of stressful situation. Thank you for making my journey as smooth as possible.
