About Breckon and Breckon Woodstock

Breckon & Breckon is an independent firm of Estate Agents established in 1947 and now operating from a network of eight offices in the county of Oxfordshire. Situated prominently at the top of the High Street and with over 25 years in the area the experienced Woodstock team are best situated to advise buyers, sellers, landlords and those looking to rent, on the local area. They know the best schools, restaurants, and local places of interest, and are happy to talk about any aspect of the property market. We are property professionals with many years of experience and whilst we are constantly recommended by many firms of solicitors, high street banks and other institutions, we are very proud of the fact that the majority of our new business comes from the personal recommendations of past clients. As a privately owned company we are able to react quickly to changes in the market. We constantly review our marketing, often setting new standards for other estate agents to follow. As an established agent we have a large database of prospective buyers that is shared throughout our network of offices. This database is accessed through our state of the art computer system enabling us to match properties to buyers without delay. However, none of this innovation means a great deal if it is not backed up with the right staff. Breckon & Breckon has an enviable reputation and is seen as one of the most sought after companies to work for. Our staff are quite simply some of the most experienced property professionals that Oxfordshire has to offer.

Selling your home can be stressful! Our journey with Martyn was so refreshing, his local knowledge of the housing market was amazing, his realistic approach and commitment to fully manage the selling process on our behalf was superb. We felt we were in very capable and trustworthy hands throughout the process. Thank you Martyn you made leaving our home an enjoyable journey.

The Letting Manager was extremely rude and brief whenever we enquired about properties as prospective tenants, and at times not getting back to me at all. There is absolutely no need for such an attitude and tone, especially considering everyone else I spoke to at the company was professional and polite. Edit: amended review as the Letting Manager called and apologised. Many Thanks!

Not like some other estate agents: in a good way!

We found Breckon & Breckon in Woodstock great to deal with. Negotiations were handled professionally and quickly. As a buyer we appreciated not being hassled unnecessarily. They quickly identified that we knew the process and stepped back accordingly, however were readily available to us when we did have a query. Most importantly, we bought and so I assume the seller was happy too! If I was selling I would recommend them.

Awful. Phone was never answered, messages never returned. Very reluctant to do viewings, even told me they don't do viewings after 4pm on a Saturday. No follow ups from them no contact at all. Currently buying a house through someone else. This agent has been first class. I will never recommend Breckon and Breckon Woodstock to sell a property.

Spencer · 22 August 2021

We are incredibly sorry to hear about your experience. We had an appointment booked into our diary with you for Monday 16th @ 6pm - a representative from the office attended and waited but nobody showed. Unfortunately, the number we have on file for you would not connect, if you would like to call Robert on 01993 811881 to discuss we would be grateful for the opportunity to put it right.

Buying our Home

We were extremely grateful to the Woodstock Team for contacting us as promised when the winning bidders in a 'Sealed Bid' purchase felt unable to continue. It then only took six weeks for US to become the Very Happy Owners of a desirable property in Woodstock - a dream of going back home that was long in the making for me. They were helpful, reliable and committed. Thanks Guys.

We have recently purchased our new home with the Woodstock branch of Breckon and Breckon. They have been thorough, honest, supportive and gone above and beyond to help us buy our new family home. Martin, Cheryl and the team are the best estate agents we have dealt with. I strongly recommend them to anyone wishing to sell, buy or rent their home. Thank you!

Very helpful and responsive

Martyn was very helpful and kept up communications with the developer of a new build property and I as we progressed through the purchase. He was very responsive when I had questions about the property and was able to give me the information I needed to proceed. He continued to help even after I moved in. I would highly recommend this service.

Straightforward purchase

I recently purchased a property through Breckon & Breckon in Woodstock. Everyone at the office was very helpful right the way from the first viewing through to day of completion. Negotiations were handled sensibly and I never felt under any undue pressure. Communication was spot on. Thank you Simeon, Cheryl and Martyn. I am very happy in my new home! Highly recommend.

Friendly, efficient and professional service throughout the buying process.

Martin and Cheryl were delightful to deal with. Buying, selling and moving can be stressful at the best of times but the Woodstock team facilitated the procedures through very good communication and a desire to make us feel we were at the centre of their attention. Nothing was too much for them and they make a great team.

Exceptional service in sale, purchase and rental

We initially enlisted the services of Breckon and Breckon for the sale of our house. The marketing process was straightforward and their agent, Robert, was able to obtain two asking-price offers in less than two weeks. We were also interested in buying one of the properties for sale through them, and again Robert went the extra mile to provide repeated viewings and facilitate what was quite a complicated purchase. As this property required renovation, we also needed a short term rental that would accept our pet dog, and Suzanne and her team were able to help us find a suitable property just around the corner at short notice! Moving house can be a very stressful experience, so we are extremely grateful to Robert and the rest of the Breckon and Breckon team whose exceptional service meant this whole convoluted process was as painless as possible.

Heather and Robert were very patient, helpful and responsive to my enquiries regarding my house purchase just completed today. This was especially appreciated as by contrast, my solicitors used were not very helpful. So this was great to have their assistance chasing up my solicitor to get their job done.

Thank you for your feedback Alasdair, we’re thrilled that we’ve managed to find the right property for you as your first home. We hope you are settling in well and enjoying village life in Long Hanborough. Next time you’re in Woodstock, pop in and say hello! Many Thanks Heather and Robert

Peace of Mind and Fantastic Service

We recently moved into a property in Woodstock using Breckon and Breckon as our agent. Suzanne was fantastic to deal with and managed the process for us very smoothly. We would highly recommend both Suzanne and Breckon and Breckon if you want peace of mind in finding the right place, and a stress-free move.

Most helpful and knowledgable

A lot of agents I have encountered are not particularly knowledgable about the properties they sell or the legal frameworks and market conditions. My experience with the team at Breckon&Breckon Woodstock and with Rob in particular, was a pleasant deviation from that unfortunate norm. Beyond the usual friendliness, timeliness and promptness one expects from a professional agent, Rob exceeded my usual expectations in his knowledgeability about the details of the property. His comments were extremely helpful in gauging the situation and facilitating a purchase both over the course the initial negotiations and during a viewing to help shedding light on some initial concerns of mine. He was also most helpful and seemed very trustworthy, providing good suggestions that helped mediating between the vendors and myself to reach a deal both sides could have been happy with. Based on my experience, I can highly recommend Rob and his colleagues and would be most delighted to work with them again in future dealings.

Robert Coules excellent performance in selling my house in Woodstock

Robert was tireless and businesslike from the very first contact. He put forward strong arguments for the selling price. He quickly found a number of clients who were suitable buyers. We achieved a price in our target range with a very good buyer who was very straightforward. He looked after the property while the deal was going on and arranged maintenance. He looked after the surveyor who was working for my insurance company. When the buyers solicitor was disinclined to hurry things along, Robert encouraged him to do so. He involved himself completely in our deal and I think that the result was good for both the buyer and the seller. All deals should be done that way. One day in the future I will be looking for another house in Woodstock and I hope that Robert will be there to find it for me.

Fantastic responsiveness, energy and commitment, throughout the buying process

As first time buyers, Robert at Breckon & Breckon Woodstock provided us with a fantastic service from beginning to end in what was a sometimes drawn out and frustrating process between both solicitors. Robert was honest, proactive and extremely helpful throughout and maintained great communication with all parties involved. His co-ordination and dedication through our purchase process were absolutely critical to seeing us over the line to completion on our new home. I would certainly recommend Robert and the excellent team at Breckon & Breckon in Woodstock!

Outstanding professional service from Cheryl and Breckon & Breckon Woodstock

After a smooth and successful sale through the Breckon and Breckon Oxford City Centre Office, we were delighted to be able to use the Breckon and Breckon Woodstock Office for our new purchase. The path to exchange proved tricky for us and we wobbled along the way... in fact, we are sure we became difficult purchasers but we were making a life changing decision and a lot was at stake. Cheryl at Breckon and Breckon Woodstock could see this and was outstanding in her approach: she understood what we were looking for, and why. She was able to put the attributes of our intended purchase along with our misgivings into that context. This enabled us to put things into proportion and to see what was truly important. Cheryl was sensitive to our worries, but constructive in seeking resolution. She understood that we required concrete information, prompt communication and decisive action. Cheryl was simply faultless in this regard. Importantly, she also understood that we needed support to be able to recapture our dream. Cheryl gave hours and hours of her time, enabling us to explore everything we needed to which ultimately lead to the outcome we wanted. Breckon and Breckon has a well deserved reputation for efficiency and results which we have benefited from over the years. What makes them unique is that their excellent service is based on integrity and "people-first". Cheryl's principled and highly professional approach, together with a genuine sense of empathy, make her a true ambassador of this philosophy.

Exceptional Service

I bought my investment property through the Woodstock Office. The service I received was outstanding, very professional, friendly and nothing was too much trouble, I was pretty restricted with when I could view the property, but Breckon & Breckon were very accommodating and worked around the times I was available. Cheryl was very knowledgeable, thorough and kept me updated throughout the sale process. I have no hesitation in recommending Cheryl and her team in the Woodstock Office and if I were to sell in the future I would certainly use Breckon & Breckon.
