GoogleClare is an asset to Oakwood Estate Agents, her experience within the industry is extremely noticeable yet she is warm, always on the other end of the phone, quick to respond to emails, extremely chatty and easy to talk to. We can’t thank Clare enough for all that she has done so far in our sale and onward purchase for our new buyers. Thank you once again, Sophie, Harry, Mollie and Rosie

GoogleClare Barbe is a breath of fresh air compared to other estate agents. Clare takes her time, explains the facts of the property. the area and what you are buying and even selling, there is a no pressure sales or under hand tactics, very pleasant. Clare is empathetic and strikes the perfect balance between the buyer and seller and always on hand to guide when required or to answer any questions.

GoogleAt short notice I asked Oakwood Estates to market my property for rental. Within a week we had 8 interested parties and 2 who placed an offer. I was impressed with the way Rebecca handled the viewings and also with Shannon who worked closely with me to ensure the property was fully compliant and paperwork completed correctly on time. Very professional.

GoogleWe used Oakwoods recently to sell our property. Clare dealt with the transaction from initial introduction and signing of agreements right through to exchange and completion. We cannot fault their service, which was professional with excellent communications and proactive assistance whenever needed.

GoogleRebecca Williamson has been ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! I have been probably the most annoying client of hers calling and emailing to get updates all the time! She has remained calm professional and kept me up to date more than she needed to! She definitely knew I was anxious about the process and helped me through step by step. Rebecca, I am so grateful for you. Thank you so much for everything! Thank you also to Katarina and the manager who have also been great!
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a positive review. I have informed Rebecca about your feedback and she was delighted to help you through the process. Here at Oakwood we strive to work hard to provide the best possible experience for our clients. We wish you all the best. Katie - Marketing Assistant.

Google*UPDATE* In response to Oakwood's response, we did not orchestrate any kind of chain collapse - twice we had an offer accepted and on both occasions the sellers had their purchase fall through, in the space of a couple of weeks. Sounds too coincidental, right? What an unprofessional and disappointing response from a supposedly reputable business. --------------------- Unfortunately as a first-time buyers my partner and I didn't have a great experience with Oakwood. On two occasions we have had confirmed offers fall through after two different sellers (who we were assured had a target property lined up ready to go) were unsuccessful in their own purchases. This was after weeks of daily aggressive and repetitive conversations asking us to increase our offer, without also asking the vendors to come to the negotiation table in the changeable housing market we find ourselves in in April 2023. We were given all sorts of frankly bizarre stories as reasons for increasing our offer, including that another party "would have offered more but had a stillbirth so had to pull out"... why on earth would you tell another buyer that?!! Totally unprofessional. Strangely enough after the increased offer was accepted in both circumstances, total radio silence followed and it was us chasing Oakwood for an update on the situation, as if it's OK to let us as the end chain buyer to sit dangling on a thread as we've got nothing better to do. Definitely felt like we were given the runaround and used as bait for a quick sale, only to be dumped and forgotten about when an offer was accepted. Needless to say didn't get so much as a response when we pulled out of the current offer. Would not want to do business with a company that treats a several-thousand-pound transaction with such contempt and tries to take advantage of young first-time buyers. I am very skeptical of all the one-review 5* comments here.
Dear Mr Goodliffe Having reviewed the file we note that your offer was accepted on 21/03/2023 on the basis that our vendors would need to find a suitable property to purchase. You subsequently emailed us at 17:48 on 05/04 (15 days later) to (apologetically) advise you were withdrawing from the purchase as you had found a different property. Apologies if we were unable to respond to your notice of withdrawal immediately but the office would have closed at 18:00. We are therefore left rather baffled by your negative review given that you have orchestrated this sale to collapse and were pre-advised on acceptance of your offer that the chain was incomplete as our vendors needed to source a suitable purchase. Your other comments with regards to an offer relating to a 'stillbirth' are totally unfounded. We find this to be unacceptable and we strongly condemn the use of slander against our business or any of our employees. We wish you luck with your future endeavours and regret that this sale was unable to proceed in this instance. Oakwood Estates Customer Services

GoogleCan’t recommend this agency high enough, the level of service and professionalism was beyond 5 stars. Rebecca was seamless from start to finish understanding and accommodating our needs, being available to answer all our queries and concerns whilst completing our referencing and house move swiftly. Would happily use their services again and be more than confident in trusting them with property related matters.
We're so glad to hear that your experience with Oakwood Estates was exceptional. We appreciate your feedback and I will be sure to pass on to Rebecca your positive comments. All the best. Katie - Marketing Assistant

GoogleWe can't recommend Oakwood enough - they have been amazing from start to end during our sales process. Very professional, great communication throughout. They have sold our propriety over our asking price and within our timeframe. A very smooth process. I personally recommend Ms. Clare Barbe, she has been amazing sales negotiator and would definitely use their services again.

GoogleClare Barbe was amazingly efficient, available and helpful through the process of a tricky and far from straight forward sale. The rest of the team at Oakwood were similarly professional. I chose Clare and Oakwood's, out of the three estate agents I met, as she knows the area of Maidenhead and the market very well. She is very impressive.

GoogleFrom my first contact with Clare I knew I was in safe hands. Buying a house is a scary process but Clare was so reassuring during the whole thing. She kept me updated all the way, explained the parts of the process I didn't understand, no question was too stupid, and she kept the chain moving. Would not hesitate to recommend Oakwood Estates and especially Clare if you are thinking about buying and/or selling - Professional and knowledgeable with a genuine personal touch.

GoogleAfter inviting multiple agents in to sell our Maidenhead home, Oakwood were by far the most impressive in terms of approach, realistic market value, strategy and fees. Our lead agent Clare was fantastic from start to finish in terms of her professionalism, knowledge of the area and in particular communication. This resulted in our sale going through quicker than feared and ensured less overall stress for me and my family. Strongly recommend!

GoogleClare and Kirsty were a great help on both my purchase and sale. With regular (honest) updates on the transactions and a very helpful and personal touch. Having been through quite the journey, I really appreciated the level of customer service provided and the open and honest advice. I hope I don’t have to move again any time soon, but if I do - Oakwood on speed dial.

GoogleOakwood Estates, Clare and Kirsty in particular, were a pleasure to deal with from the start and found us a buyer quickly and at the right price. We had a bit of a disaster when the buyer pulled out unexpectedly, but Oakwood found another within 48 hours. They were proactive with managing the chain while our new buyer got up to speed and then had to manage further issues down the line when our lender was being slow! I cannot fault them and I don’t think we would have managed to complete on both our sale and purchase (which we also found via Oakwood) without the help of Clare and her team.
Thank you Sarah for taking the time to leave your 5* feedback and review, we are so glad to hear that you felt supported throughout the process by Oakwood Estates and specifically Kirsty and Clare. Enjoy your new home! Kind Regards, Alice (Marketing Assistant)

GoogleExtremely professional and detailed estate agency services. From the begging of a very long process we have felt supportive, had open and honest communication and Oakwood are always reactive and available. We dealt with Clare and I would highly recommend her. Even from valuing our house which was supported with local research and market conditions explained - to being able to negotiate and plan after an agreed purchase.
Thank you Candice for your detailed feedback and 5* review. Kind Regards, Alice (Marketing Assistant).
