TrustpilotOcean have been fantastic
Ocean have been fantastic, they put up with us for 16 months through our sale and purchase (no fault their side why it took so long). Gemma has been our point of contact, she has been great at communicating, compassionate when things didn’t go how we expected and the whole team showed how hard they work. Our purchase wasn’t in Bristol but that didn’t phase them at all. Highly recommend.

GoogleThanks for Lily professional follow up on our rental. We are in the journey in relocating from Manchester to Bristol. Seeks viewings opportunity is not easy especially Bristol property market is "hot". Lily kindly arranged viewing right after our inquiry on Rightmove. Her response is speedym. She managed our offer and close the deal with the landlord successfully. We do not need to struggle anymore. Thank you Lily.

TrustpilotOcean Property Lawyers Bradley Stoke
We have recently achieved a sale and purchase using Ocean Property Lawyers at Bradley Stoke. We would have no hesitation recommending this very responsive team if you are looking to buy or sell. The solicitors above us in the chain were not so responsive but Livia worked hard to get things moving. Thanks to Livia, Oliwia, Jamie and Kelly our sale and purchased reached completion and we are happy in our new home.

Ocean were amazing from start to finish. I was previously selling my property with a different estate agent, but decided to change as I was unhappy with the service the other estate agents were providing and it was the best decision I made. My buyer was at times very difficult, but ocean managed to get my sale through within 8 weeks, which was amazing! Thank you to everyone at ocean, especially Melissa and Mike!

TrustpilotThank you Tom and Lauren
Tom and Lauren were the two team members who worked on our behalf. They were dedicated, quick thinking, thoughtful and worked so hard. Tom did our valuation and together with the photographer, presented our house so beautifully which resulted in a quick sale and a number of offers over the asking price. Tom's guidance through the initial sale process was excellent. Thank you Tom and Lauren

I had a 5 star experience working with Claire McLaughlin! From start to finish, she was highly responsive and always kept me up to date and informed. Her communication was clear, timely, and professional, making what could have been a stressful situation much easier to navigate! I cannot thank Claire enough for all of her efforts.

We had a couple of viewings with Claire Kingston, she was very knowledgeable and when we decided to buy a property she made the offering procedure smooth, kept us updated at all times and was really attentive and friendly! I'm not usually one for writing reviews but felt Claire needed the appreciation she was fab!

TrustpilotStaff communicated very clearly and were helpful
Really easy time finding a house with this company. The viewings were helpful and we had a lot of questions answered. After submitting our applications the communication with staff, especially Lily Butler, was very clear and we received quick responses to questions and issues we had. Overall great experience!

Lily has been fantastic supporting us secure a letting on our new place in Bristol. Quick to pick up the phone and even quicker to reply on emails. She genuinely sounded excited for us down the phone when announcing we had secured the flat! She sounds like she loves her job and has made a hectic couple of days very easy. Thanks Lily

TrustpilotSlap-dash sale
Managed to complete the purchase within the planned time frame, but this was with us being first time buyers with no chain on either side of the purchase. Ocean estate agents really pushed for us to use ocean solicitors as a way to expedite the process as they could hand documents between themselves, but in reality communication both within ocean and to us (especially with the solicitors) was really disappointing, considering we were recommended to use them and were paying a premium because of it.The solicitors were hard to get hold of and unsupportive of our queries unless it suited their timeline and were very clearly reluctant to explain and explore any uncertainties we had as first time buyers. This was made worse by the fact some of our assumptions of the property were incorrect ever since the initial viewing due to what was claimed by the estate agent.The last comment is on the frustrating portal everything has to go through, it is really difficult to track updates and see progress, and there was a moment when Ocean had left it a week before asking why something wasnt signed in the portal. I would recommend Ocean solicitors to use direct communication more rather than relying on a portal like this which many might find confusing to use for everything.All in all, while we don't have much experience with other solicitors and estate agents, I would encourage others to do research and not trust all the claims and recommendations made by the estate agents, and that if you do need anything checked by the solicitors know it will be the last thing they reluctantly do all while urgently pushing for you to complete.
Thank you for your feedback. As an independent agent of 40 years, we have always placed the utmost importance on client satisfaction, especially for our first-time buyers, we know it can be a stressful process. We are therefore especially sorry to learn of your disappointment. Whilst the use of Ocean Property Lawyers can certainly streamline communications with Ocean Estate Agents, it is important to note that the conveyancers are acting solely for their clients, you. Direct communication is crucial. Your comments in this regard are therefore of particular concern, a Director will be reviewing your case file to ensure the team learn from this. Our portal which is still under development, should have provided updates and insight, as well as reassurance. We are sorry this was not the case in this instance. There was no chain as you say, however, 8 weeks from draft contracts to exchange is extremely quick by today’s average time frames of 40 weeks. This may explain some of the urgency at times. We are happy to have been able to meet your planned time frames. We hope your new home is everything you hoped for, and wish you all the best. Thank you again. Kind Regards, Ocean

GoogleChantelle was our Lettings negotiator with Ocean and she was very helpful in getting us complete the reference checks within 2 days. She was out of office during those 2 days but still she gave prompt replies to all our queries. She has even arranged a second viewing for us. So far ocean and Chantelle has been good for us in completing the first step towards renting a home in Bristol!

Olivia was very diligent in keeping me informed about the sale of my flat by telephone. As l am an old person without a printer, and not very adept with my I.pad, all the Ocean people I.e. lawyers, sales and management supply me with information on paper, by post. I would recommend the whole team to anybody! They make my life a lot easier. Susan West.

TrustpilotExpedited conveyancing service
We paid for an expedited conveyancing service as we were trying to beat an auction date, and Dimitri and his team were on it. We met our very tight deadline for exchange with ease and felt reassured throughout. Dimitri was always available for a chat and gave us thorough explanations as the sale progressed. Thank you Ocean and your great team!

GoogleWe had a wonderful service with the Ocean staff who were very supportive and caring at a time which can be stressful, we felt very looked after throughout. The move manager Abbie was excellent with all communication, keeping us in the loop a priority so we felt part of the process and knew what progress was being made and guide time lines. We would highly recommend.
Thank you very much for your kind words, it's always great to hear we were able to ensure our sellers & buyers felt 'looked after throughout'. Of course you have a whole Ocean team working for you, but once the offers are accepted we feel it essential you have a Move Manager on hand to navigate the 'stressful' part of the move, after 35 years as a local estate agent we certainly know that it can be stressful and demanding. Thank you again for your review, it's always great to know we've done our job well. Best Wishes, Ocean.
