We finally exchanged contracts for our first home today and I cannot thank Adam and the team at Oakwood enough! Very responsive throughout and helped me to really understand the process.

Between Daisy and Ethan, my experience with Oakwood homes has been fantastic. Can’t thank you both enough for helping me find my new home! Great attitude, very kind and welcoming and a pleasure to speak to all the time. Thanks again.

Outstanding customer service from Ethan, polite friendly and professional. Really felt like a valued customer, at each point along my journey I was kept informed of listing changes and new listings that would suit my needs. I would highly recommend using Oakwood homes if you want a stress free experience.

Big thank you to the Oakwood team for selling my house. I tried another agent first but found them to be very corporate and lacking the personal touch and failed to sell . Oakwood were very professional throughout, not as expensive as other agents and they delivered. Thank you to Darren, Craig, Adam, and especially Debbie.

As a tenant.. AVOID. The service was ok from the letting agents to begin with. 1st issue, they sell your data so you a bombared with nusinance calls, this is after we both opted OUT, with accounts opened up with new companies without autherization. The accounts department is stuck in the 80's, we had to wait for 5 days for a card payment to process, even once approved at a terminal, which suggests there is not faith in the banking system or do not know how to run their accounts department. To make matters worse, the advised me 4:30pm, the day before you move. Having had no emails from the them since paying the referencing fees, the call was anyones worst nightmare. The house was filthy, this was a shame as they had inspected in a the previous day. All in all just another dodgey company...

We are very so sorry to hear that you are not satisfied with the service you have received from Oakwood homes, this is most unusual, so would like to address this with you personally; to make sure we have the correct tenant (as your name is not shown) please call 01843 222700 and ask for Teresa Dickinson, Lettings Director. To put your mind at rest, all data is fully protected under GDPR. Tenants are always asked for consent to agree that their data may be released on completion to a third party utility provider to ensure they are receiving the most competitive quote on the market. Our terms concerning payments are laid out to tenants once their offer has been accepted and unfortunately we are governed by the relevant banks/credit card companies as to their clearance time. Whilst it will show as an immediate debit to the client’s account these can be cancelled or ‘clawed back’ as payments, so it is due diligence on behalf of our Landlords that all card payments reach our account before we can commence a tenancy. We offer the option of bank transfer of funds for immediate payments where time is of the essence. When a property is not fully managed by us, we have limited control of the level of cleanliness and can only make recommendations to the relevant Landlord. Once again please accept our apologies if you have been unhappy with our service and we look forward to hearing from you so that the issues you have experienced may be addressed personally.

Absolutely great service from Adam Spickett, Craig Durrant and the team. We had our flat with another agent which didn’t work out. I remembered when Oakwood first opened many years ago and thought I’d try and see if they were any good. Being overseas made it harder to find someone we trusted as once bitten twice shy. However, from the moment as a team they took the the time to appraise, skyped us at a time convenient to us, listened to our hopes for a sale, gave us constructive feedback and put it on the market made our journey smooth and full of energy. We sold well within their estimated time and the sale progressed in the background with the handelling it at our request. We couldn’t thank the team enough for their professionalism, genuine care and flexibility to get us a great price and easy sale. We without question would recommend.
