My agent Joey was extremely helpful and useful, helping me with my move in process and went the extra mile multiple times to ensure everything was done correctly, professionally and precisely. Couldn't of asked for a better agent. Thank you Joey and the rest of the oaks estate agents team. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to move out. 5/5 start service.

Ciaran Hawes has been an exceptional help in our house purchase from start to finish. He first showed us the property, and guided us through the whole process (which can be a little bewildering as first time buyers) with patience, understanding and good humour. We really feel that he went above and beyond and cannot thank him enough for his generosity.

We sold our house through Oaks and were really impressed with them throughout the whole process, from the initial valuation carried out by James the MD, to how much interest was drummed up for the open day, and how well Zoe and the team managed the process through to exchange and completion. They were great communicators and really easy to work with - no sales jargon, just nice people. Would recommend.

Hi Alice, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! Thank you for working with us as well. I loved your house from the moment I stepped in and was very keen to work with you. Delighted with the price and even happier with your review, that's precisely how I want the business to be run! So it means a lot, a big, big thank you. Stay in touch and all the very best to you and the family. Thank you, James Byrne Managing Director

EXCEPIONAL SERVICE! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. We turned to Oaks after being on the market for long months with another agency.We suffered because of poor customer service and bad attitude of sales agents. We spoke with a few different agents when we decided to sell our property with James. An umbelievably quick sale and it was put on the market at excactly the right price.Of course a big thanks to James who took real care of me trough all stages of selling my property.

I have just bought my first property and serendipitously stumbled upon Oaks after being quite disillusioned with the behaviour of other agents in Addiscombe. James and his team have been a dream to work with from start to finish. His responses were always prompt and knowledgeable, and I felt like I was talking to a friend rather than somebody who just wanted to close a deal. High end service with a friendly face to go with it. Will use these agents again!

We had James value our flat in Croydon, and we have been highly impressed with his follow up communications and general knowledge of the local property market. Detailed communication and honest assessments with no ulterior motive that still 'cut to the chase' are his strengths, when Estate Agents can vary in terms of professionalism; James is second-to-none, and we're not surprised new offices are opening up all over the area. We are lucky enough to live within a few minutes of their very smart new office in Addiscombe.

James, Ciaran and the team were AMAZING - I can't fault them, I wouldn't hesitate to use again in the future and would 100% recommend to anyone looking for an estate agent. I went from advertising my property to exchange within 8 weeks and completion a week later. I had originally listed with a previous estate agent for 3 months and not had a single viewing, putting it down to the market but within a week with Oaks, I had viewings and offers - You can't fault that!! The photographer was organised quickly and were professional and to a high standard. James and his team were knowledgeable, super friendly and always easily contactable (email, WhatsApp etc) and I was kept up to date on any progress all the time, no matter what time of the day - this was a major factor as my previous estate agent never spoke to me! 10000% Recommend them!!!

Hi Emily, Thank you firstly for letting us market your amazing apartment and secondly, for leaving us such a kind review. It was great working with you and I'm delighted that we were able to get you sold so quickly. The property was amazing so I'm not exactly sure what the others were playing at! I hope you've settled into your new house and wish you well. Stay in touch! Thank you, James Byrne Managing Director

Thanks to James and Daniel, we had a great experience purchasing through Oaks. Being first time buyers (using HTB scheme) we didn’t have much knowledge of the whole buying process, but Daniel and James were very supportive, and responded quickly to any questions we had. We had regular communication with James, who helped wherever he could, especially with solicitors. He helped to make the process a lot less stressful than it could have been. Would highly recommend Oaks Estate Agents.

We have just completed our house sale with James. We chose to use Oaks in the first place after having a disappointing experience with an online estate agent when selling another property. We had a number of different agents value our property but chose to work with James because we felt his valuation was accurate, we liked James and his rate was competitive. Throughout the sale, James was proactive, efficient and friendly to work with. He sent around his sales team, Daniel and Mel, to meet us which was a really nice touch as we then had faces to the names and it meant they had more of an inside view of the property they would be selling. We have a busy family life and preparing the house for viewings was always going to be a challenge and James facilitated this by keeping viewings to the the weekends and booking them in blocks. We were delighted to achieve our asking price in a fortnight and from there James went above and beyond to ensure the transaction went smoothly. He has exceptional people skills and was able to iron out any bumps in the rounds and we exchanged and completed according to the schedule initially agreed. We are very grateful to both James and Daniel for helping us with our sale, for guiding us through a stressful time as smoothly as possible, and absolutely recommend you get in touch with them if you need an estate agent.

Massive thanks to James and the Oaks team, special mention to Ciaran, very pro active, supportive and calm, helped so much during what has been a difficult time for us. Ciaran kept us informed almost daily throughout the whole process. If it were possible it would be 6 stars and 11 out of ten. Oaks gets the highest recommendation from us. Thanks againPositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Hi Judy, Firstly, thank you so much for working with us. I know this was a huge deal to you and your family so I feel very privileged to have helped. Secondly, your review is super kind and so appreciated! Ciaran definitely deserves all the plaudits here, I think we exchanged in 23 days which is absolutely fantastic! I love it when people use our recommended solicitor, it really takes away the stress. Stay in touch and all the very best to you. Thank you, James Byrne Managing Director

The team at Oaks are a pleasure to deal with. Yousef is highly knowledgeable, straight talking, and has delivered on all his promises. Importantly he takes the time to provide what feels like a bespoke service. His team including Oscar have great communication and are all very driven and enthusiastic. I would highly recommend them. They really do take all the stress out of selling your property.

One star overrated

One star overrated! I would highly recommend clients to use another firm. If you want the coy boys of agents to deal with property matter these are your guys! They have boasted their many year of experience and in reality, no communication, no emails and poor attendance at a given time. I wasn’t allowed to view a property after I had a dismissed call with the agents as they couldn’t even have the decency to appear at the property. Guys don’t bother with these amateur company and be spoken to like a child. Worst customer service and dumbfounded company as to say. I hope you guys go bust!

From my initial contact with Oaks I found the service has been exceptional compared to what else I’ve experienced. James and the team listened to what I was looking for in terms of my property search and showed me a number of properties at a time which was convenient for me after working hours. I can truly say they went above and beyond to find me something suitable which in the end resulted in me securing an ideal property which I’m looking forward to moving into. This is something I feel a lot of agents promise but ultimately don’t deliver on. Not the case with Oaks in my opinion.

Oaks have been amazing and have taken all the challenges in their stride. They have worked incredibly hard to keep everything on track and work with our time lines. They have always been available to talk or manage even from Mexico. A huge thank you to Jaeden Sinclair Lett who has simply been amazing

Our house was listed for 6 months with an alternative agent without selling. We then re-listed with Oaks and accepted an offer within a week after a single open day in which they proactively sourced close to 15 viewings. Communication was superb every step of the way plus James and his team also ensured things continued to move forward with both sets of solicitors. We highly recommend!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

A huge thank you to James, Dan and Charlotte for all your assistance with getting our property in South Norwood sold. You were all very personable, approachable and human throughout the process and always happy to answer ANY question. Without doubt, Oaks are THE MOST proactive estate agent around and, even in a really difficult market, got us lots of viewings and found us a buyer. Definitely worth your weight in gold! Thank you!!

What was most refreshing about dealing with Oaks in Addiscombe is described in one word which, in today’s culture, is becoming increasingly rare: INTEGRITY. Right from the first meeting, James promised to be available, accessible, transparent and honest. Even though I was slightly skeptical, they delivered on all counts and delivered consistently. This gave me great confidence and trust, again, rare commodities today. I’d have no hesitation using Oaks again and would highly recommend.
