Couldn't fault the team! Continuously keeping me updated, always answered any queries in a professional way and they kept things moving quick. Dealt with Dane and Daniel mostly and they were efficient, friendly and always helpful! Thank you

Great bunch and great service from the guys there… We dealt mainly with Montel who was very friendly and understanding and they all helped us through every step of the way.

Daniel and Dane from Oaks South Norwood did an excellent job in processing a sale for our property. Considering the challenges in the market they were able to achieve a good sale price for our property on two occasions. They also rose to the challenge of having to relist the property after our property original sale fell through. Their communication was good and they took a proactive approach to the sale of our property. Through their hard work, it only took just under two weeks to go under offer, twice! If there is any critique we would offer it would solely be their recommendation to use Naqibul Islam from Setfords as a conveyancing solicitors. He was not proactive and often wasn't on top of our sale or purchase. I would urge to look at other conveyancers or only reference those they do not recommend (For which he should be on this list) in future. Definitely will use again in future as they were excellent. Highly recommended by us.

Dane Reynolds did an amazing job and was more than professional, prompt, and always on call to answer any questions I had - definitely a 5-star service. From evening calls to coming and dealing with all key/viewing/offer matters, he was an unfailingly rock throughout the entire process, always keeping me updated and giving great advice - it was very smooth and blazingly quick!

Oaks got us a buyer in two weeks after switiching from another agent. They were also really helpful and reassuring during a particularly slow and stressful selling process. Would highly recommend

Want to leave feedback for GEORGE BILHAM from the South Norwood Oaks estate agent. He found me and my husband a beautiful home. He has been with us right from the start of the journey to the very one of the chapter through to completion. He is polite , highly knowledgeable and very trustworthy. He made the process calm and keep me in the loop at all times. Amazing estate agent and Oaks definitely won’t get better than this guy. Thank you again George !!

Id recommend using Oaks . Got my house sold in a reasonably difficult market. Dane was great with the communication and kept me up-to-date at all times. Their rates were pretty decent too, cheaper than 2 of their competitors.

Amin and his team were really excellent. We've had very negative experiences with estate agents in the past and this was so much better. Very responsive, knew when to put the pressure on but not pushy when difficult decisions needed to be made. Highly recommend!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

I would highly recommend Oaks Estate Agents. My primary contact was Dane, but Montel, Daniel and all the team are fantastic. They organised superb photography, helped with getting my EPC certificate, set up a Whatsapp Group to help everything move along quickly, always kept me up to date with the process and most importantly were great at getting serious buyers through the door. The only reason I'm dropping a "star" is because I didn't have such a good experience working with their suggested solicitor. In contrast to Oaks, he was very hard work and if I had to do it all over again, I would have instructed somebody else. That said, it takes nothing away from Oaks who are brilliant. I felt very sad handing in the keys and saying goodbye to them. Top job, Oaks!

Dane helped us find our perfect property, he listened to what we wanted and then helpfully kept us updated when suitable properties became available. When our offer was accepted, he pushed hard to ensure that the process went through as quick as possible and seamlessly. He was very communicative throughout, would recommend.

Hi All, I’ve been waiting to leave this review for quite some time but life’s been pretty manic over the las few months. I bought a property last year which should have been a great experience. Unfortunately, due to the incompetence of some of the agents at Oaks, it was unpleasant. Due to my busy working schedule, I wasn’t able to view a property on the same day my partner did. I tried to organise a viewing at a later date but each time was meet with some sort of excuse. Having had an offer accepted it took more than 6 weeks for me to physically see the property. The reasons given we’re that the vendor wasn’t able to accommodate the viewings midweek. This was a complete lie because I asked the vendor at the property. The vendor also mentioned communications we’re extremely poor which was evident to see. This behaviour is unfriendly and lacked professionalism. The we're 2 occasions on the phone when they we're belligerent when I tried to discuss concerns regarding surveys. Food for thought, Commission isn’t everything. For those interested in instructing this agency, think again. Please ensure you’ve built genuine rapport because they will be the representation of your home. All I ask is that you be accountable and get better. Do better Oaks. I understand Oaks will reply with a message to try and make this seem like an isolated situation.

Hi Urban StockCube, Unfortunately, because your review has been posted under an alias, I am unable to address your concerns directly. If you purchased a property from us last year and have only seen fit to leave a review now, we must have really upset you so for that reason, I’m sorry. I have no interest in making out that it’s an isolated incident. I do take pride in replying to reviews good and bad but I will however, publicly go on record and say that we have been known to irritate some buyers whose surveys flag up so-called “issues” on properties that have been standing tall and safe for over 100 years. Therefore, any form of renegotiations is always out of the question as far as we are concerned. I make no apology for working in our vendors best interests and will continue to do so. Whilst you have every right to share your experience, it’s worth noting that since we opened up in South Norwood, not one vendor has left a negative review and they are the ones that we work on behalf of and pay our fee. Do feel free to e-mail me directly if you wish to discuss further as I’m always open to constructive feedback that will help me grow my business: james.byrne@oaksestateagents.com I wish you nothing but luck and success in your new home. Thank you, James Byrne Managing Director

Conal and Daniel at the South Norwood office were so on the ball and were integral to ensuring the sale went through as fast and smoothly as possible. They kept on top of everything and were always reachable for any questions. As a buyer we absolutely were happy dealing with them and would for sure use them if we become the seller in future! Thanks again to them both and especially to Conal for spending so much time with us that first day showing us lots of properties in the area.
