TrustpilotOutrageous Oakmans
I had heard horror stories about Oakmans but thought them untrue, I was proved wrong. Oakmans made false claims trying to keep our deposit. As tenants, we tried to resolve these claims with Oakmans directly. Firstly, we attempted to call Oakmans but we saw online that they were not accepting calls regarding deposits, this was our first red flag. So we emailed Oakmans immediately to explain our reasoning and inquire about the deposits, we even sent them photos as proof. Oakmans were everything but helpful. They responded to our emails saying they still wanted the money in dispute and hadn't listened to anything we had said. Therefore, we turned to the Deposit Protection Service for help which has taken a very long time but has finally finished in our favour.I feel that Oakmans have been extremely unhelpful and tried to withhold our deposit. Oakmans estate agents have been borderline fraudulent and rude towards us and I would warn everyone especially students to stay as far away from them as possible.

GoogleSomeone called Jake Price told me completely wrong information just to get me to pay the holders fee
Gave me a right hassle of a headache because he lied / or is that uneducated he doesn't know what he's on about at his own job

GoogleI would recommend using a different estate agents where at all possible.
I put in an enquiry about a place and was booked a viewing, brill, but once I arrived it was found that the place I'd enquired about was no longer available. That happens but it would've been nice to have been communicated with. I did a viewing for a different place nearby and I liked the place, the agent called the landlord while I was there about a reduced rent price and I agreed and payed the holding fee. I then didn't hear a thing from them.
The viewing was on a Saturday and I sent an email the following Wednesday asking what paperwork/payment would I need to make. I didn't hear anything from them and so the next Monday I phoned them and the receptionist seemed lovely but didn't know what was going on with my letting so she said she would find out and one of their agents would call me back. An hour later I got a call back to say that someone else had payed in full for the room but that they had new studios they could show me for 800 and something a month. Now I had already pushed my budget to the £700s for the previous place so I was really frustrated. I ended up calling to cancel the viewing and requested to just get my holding fee back which I got a few days later.
Honestly it doesn't sit right with me how they handled this situation. I payed a holding fee which was to hold the place and recieved no communication throughout the process not even them reaching out to apologise once they'd double booked the room. I'm honestly glad it happened since it doesn't seem like if there had been issues with the place that they'd have responded with any speed.

GoogleGot my 2nd year unihouse from here and also tried to look for 3rd year place with them but couldnt find anything i liked as i came so late. Nick and tom oakes and jake price where the 3 people i had talked to and they were so lovely and helpful, couldnt ask for better. BUT i called the oakmans line today and got put on the phone with a girl called charlotte, worst customer service ever, rude tone, condescending and should just neever be in customer service ever. Its a shame that at the end of my tenancy ive come across such a person so thats y i have to give 3 stars instead of 5.
