The agency didn’t bother turning up to my arranged viewing. Communication was awful to advise what was going on. Told ‘he’s 2 minutes away’ and still wasn’t there after 15 minutes. Having viewed the advert after it showed as ‘sold subject to contract’ so they clearly just didn’t bother turning up as the property had sold. All it would have taken was an email or phone call to say the property had been taken off the market. If this is what they’re like for arranging a viewing I dread to think if you are buying or selling through them. Will avoid this agency moving forwards.

Recently purchased a property via Oaks with Hannah being the point of contact. The purchase took a while due to chains but Hannah always responded to my emails and calls, chased when she needed to and kept me up to date. I would definitely recommend them. Thanks Hannah for getting the sale over the line!

I would definitely recommend Oaks Estate agents. They were very professional and helpful throughout, especially Ciaran who kept me in the loop at all times and worked closely with me as well as the buyer of my property. He dealt with any issues or concerns in a timely manner and made me feel at ease. Thank you Oaks.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

Having lived in Addiscombe for three years, I decided to sell with Oaks because I had always found them to be friendly, knowledgeable about the local market, and a positive presence on the high street. The whole process ran smoothly. James Byrne, the owner, is a quality guy who leads a hands-on, straightforward team of professionals. Mason Gates, the Head of Sales, was also a pleasure to deal with.

Just to say that Joey at the Addiscombe office came up with a suggestion that cut through the Gordian note of the problem that I was having in securing a place whilst my own is being refurbished. He persuaded the letters to agree an unusual arrangement (for them) and I'm now in! Thanks Joey!

We recently sold our flat through Oaks. Daniel managed to get us a great offer in just a few weeks and James kept a close watch on the progress of the sale and was very proactive in removing obstacles along the way and making sure that everything went as smoothly as possible. I am very positively surprised at how quickly everything went and would recommend them without a doubt!

The reply is incorrect assumption. I found unprofessional two of your agents’ communication skills and when I brought it up that it is unacceptable and I expect to be professional, I did not receive any acknowledge. The agents were keep e-mailing to me on the daily bases and to my solicitors as well asking for an update even after I made them aware the seller’s solicitor is up to date with every information and there is no information what we would not share with the solicitor, but with the estate agent. After the purchase happened I had been informed about the keys incorrectly by one of your agent and I did send him an e-mail asking where is that spare key what he said to me it had been left in the flat. Before the purchase happened I received extreme amount of e-mails from them with ‘ASAP’ answers request, with matters what only the two solicitors are dealing, but for this e-mail I only received an answer days later, after I left the one start review.

Zsófia · 5 June 2024

Agent replied · 11 June 2024

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, even if it isn't the desired outcome we hoped for. I’ve reviewed the file and believe the negative experience stems from our refusal to engage in discussions about reducing the sale price. Whilst we respect both sellers and buyers, our sellers choose us to market their properties for various reasons, one of which is often to achieve the best possible sales price. As a result, once a sale is agreed, we are therefore reluctant to ever renegotiate further down the line. If you wish to discuss further, please drop me an e-mail: james.byrne@oaksestateagents.com. I hope you have settled into your new home nicely. Thank you, James Byrne Managing Director

Quite frankly AWFUL - AVOID Good to start with, found a tenant quickly, then the fun starts. Opted for ‘fully managed’ to let my flat, promised it would be minimal interaction and everything was looked after for just 12% of the rent. Took 3 months of them trying to say the boiler was faulty to work out it was turned off, then the radiators were faulty - they were turned off at the valve. Neither of which they could work out themselves, which is strange for ‘property managers’, so they send engineers out at my cost (circa £100 each time) to attempt to resolve, also with no resolution. So I go round and turn both on in 2 minutes!!!!! It’s been let 9 months, on 3 of those months I’ve had to contact them after a week or so to forward the rent, various excuses given. Requested that I repair or replace some of the tenants furniture - the property is let unfurnished. Also insisted I replace lightbulbs, Saying it’s UK legislation - I did some research, it’s not!!!! Literally just bare faced lied. They’ve served notice to the tenant without being instructed to do so after I asked how I can sever my relationship with them, and are now insisting that if the tenant stays in the property and I don’t renew with them I am still liable for fees to Oaks. As well as one individual insinuating that they are likely to increase the fees 🤣 Absolutely no will to discuss their poor service or take any responsibility, they literally just want your money. Ive met the owner James as I bought the property through them during covid and on the whole they were okay. The lettings department however. Avoid, avoid and avoid again!!!!!

We had a positive experience with Oaks. Our assigned agent Zoe was supportive from the start, taking us through what is a stressful process with her knowledgeable and charming manner. Zoe was very prompt in getting back to us with any concerns or questions. Overall we were very happy we sold our house through Oaks Eatate Agents.PositiveResponsiveness

I couldn't recommend Enrico and his team highly enough. The process of finding a property can be quite daunting & stressful, however Enrico made it that much easier. He was more than happy to help with all my questions, no matter how ridiculous they were. His efficiency was spot in! Thank you for helping us find an amazing property!

I sold my house within 4 weeks after listing with James and his team at Oaks Croydon. True professionals, really giving you the attention and customer service you need. From start to finish James gave me regular updates and I am so glad we used his company to sell our property. I would definitely recommend Oaks to anyone looking to sell their property.
