Worst experience ever
Worst experience ever. After doing all the stuff done for moving they said due to reference landlord refuse to give you the house. At the end they deduct our £300 holding deposit. Very disappointing.

An incredibly hard working team.
An incredibly hard working team of professional's. I've been impressed right the way through the process.Not one of the easiest situations that I've ever had to navigate my way through and don't think I could have done it without Move Manager Mel. An absolute champ!

I would like to specifically comment on Kayla Surtherland's handling of the recent letting of my property. She has been very pro-active, answering queries in a timely and helpul manner and went beyond the call of duty to facilitate my requirements as I am not able to visit the property myself. I would certainly recommend her to anyone considering letting their property. Ocean are not cheap, but in this instance, the result outweighed the expense!PositiveResponsiveness

Ocean are absolutely fantastic
Ocean are absolutely fantastic. Every member of staff is helpful, friendly and quick to answer any questions or queries. They made the whole process as smooth as possible and always answered the phone and emails. We are now happily settled in our new home and it wouldn’t have been possible without them. Thank you Ocean!

First Rate Service
This was my first time using Ocean Financial Services and I honestly could not have asked for more. Neil Butler arranged my mortgage and managed to get me an incredible rate that matched my needs perfectly. We had a couple of issues due to an archaic rule at the lenders end, and Neil pursued matters against all odds and managed to get it turned around (how he did this I do not know). Once arranged, Tracey Green took over and oversaw everything from form queries to follow ups with solicitors. She checked in with me every few weeks to make sure everything was going smoothly with my purchase, and already has my mortgage renewal date in her diary so that they can look for new deals. They are a fantastic team and I cannot reccomend them highly enough.

Excellent service, particularly from Simon and Tracey who went above and beyond to ensure we could afford our dream home and have our mortgage ready to go. They were really professional and extremely knowledgeable. We cannot thank them enough.

This purchase turned out to be far from straightforward. However, the Westbury office of Ocean were there to help us every step of the way. Mel in particular was fabulous - supportive and able to find ways to help overcome obstacles.

Great service, would recommend
We received a really good mortgage service from Simon throughout our application. He took care to understand our circumstances and requirements and came up with a far more suitable recommendation for us than other brokers we spoke to.

Hannah Smith
I am writing to review Hannah Smith who is the property manager at Bishopston Branch. Hannah looks after the maintenance and safety of our flat at 2 Sommerville Rd. She has always been available, responded immediately and is keen to sort out any issues with the flat and carry out diligent periodic inspections. She also maintains a good and friendly relationship with the tenants. I believe she will be instrumental in keeping the current tenants and looking after the fabric of our flat.

How helpful Ocean is and they always do what they say they are going to do, whether it’s call back or email with updates
I started my journey with Jack at Ocean, who was polite, friendly and professional at all times. Then Paul the Manager took over and he kept me informed of any updates and was always happy to go through anything I wasn’t sure of. Very polite and professional too.
5/5
I cannot thank you enough Chantelle! You have provided a very personable and professional service and have always gone the extra mile. You and your team have always been so helpful and I look forward to using your services again.

Highly professional, prompt and courteous.
Ocean gave us free advice which helped us get our mortgage sorted. Then our solicitor - also through Ocean - helped us through the process of buying our first house and kept us informed about everything that was happening. The staff were all highly professional, prompt and courteous. Thank you, Ocean!
