GoogleI am not fond of cold callers. I am even less fond of people who call you and when challenged as to how they gained your number come up with some nonsense about valuing your home "a few years back", Having owned the property for 40 years I know that never happened and I would likely have gone to a more local estate agent.
Pleasant enough chap on the phone though hence two stars for effort

GoogleFrom start to finish I have received excellent service from everyone I have dealt with at Oaks Estate Agents in Streatham. James Poll has been outstanding in helping me sell the property, he has always been approachable and willing to chase if necessary and also to clarifying things if I didn't quite understand. I would highly recommended using this estate agent if you are in the process of selling your property.

GoogleOutstanding service. Andree, Vas and Gabriel were quick, friendly, and worked incredibly hard on our behalf to secure a quick sale and an excellent price for our flat.

GoogleWe cannot recommend Oaks (South Norwood) highly enough for the exceptional service they provided throughout the sale of our home. In what has been an undeniably challenging market, they demonstrated unwavering commitment and professionalism from start to finish.
Special mention must go to Montel Hanson, who was outstanding. Montel’s dedication, expertise, and positive attitude were remarkable. Even when the process took longer than anticipated, Montel never once lost faith in the process. Instead, they remained proactive, arranging viewing after viewing and continuously refining the approach to showcase our property at its very best.
What set the entire Oaks team apart for us was their tenacity and genuine care for their clients. Where other agencies might have given up or suggested drastic price reductions, the team at Oaks kept pushing forward with determination and strategic thinking. Their persistence paid off spectacularly - our expectations were met, despite the difficult market conditions.
If you’re looking for an estate agency that combines expertise with genuine dedication and won’t give up until they’ve achieved the best possible result, look no further than Oaks. Thank you, Montel, Dan, Dane and the entire Oak network, for your incredible work.

GoogleAn Exceptional Experience with Montel
I just bought my first house in South London, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
As a first-time buyer, I was a bit nervous about the whole process, but Montel made everything so much easier than I expected.
What I really appreciated was how genuine he was, and I now consider Montel a real friend, not just an agent I bought my house through. There was no pressure or sales talk, as he even just wished me happy birthday. It was mainly just honest advice and support from someone who clearly knows the South London market inside out.
Montel was friendly, approachable, and always quick to reply. No question was ever too small. He explained everything clearly and kept me updated every step of the way, which really helped take the stress out of it all.
Thanks to Montel really goes the extra mile and makes you feel completely looked after.
Montell is the best estate agent in South London in my opinion.

GoogleI recently sold my late mother’s property through Oaks Estate Agents and was thoroughly impressed by the level of service I received. The team demonstrated excellent knowledge of the housing market and guided me through every stage of the process with professionalism and clarity.
They were always prompt in responding to my queries and worked hard to secure the best possible price for the property. The sale was completed in record time - the efficiency and speed of the process genuinely shocked me.
During what was a difficult time, Oaks made the process as stress-free as possible. I would absolutely use them again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to sell their home.

I put in an offer of a flat to be told that the vendor was unresponsive. They said as soon as they get in touch with the vendor, they will put the offer and get back in touch.
I then discover that they had contacted the vendor, did not put the offer forward and sold it to someone else.
