GoogleMy 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.

GoogleCiaran 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.

GoogleWe 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.

GoogleEXCEPIONAL 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.

GoogleI 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!

GoogleWe 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.

GoogleJames, 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!!!

GoogleThanks 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.

GoogleWe 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.

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.

TrustpilotOne 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!

GoogleFrom 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.

GoogleWhat 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.
