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.

Difficult times but still great work. Thanks so much.

I have great pleasure in reviewing Breckon and Breckon in Woodstock where the sales team have been amazing. We have been through a rocky time in a strange and difficult market and Heather and Robert have worked hard to achieve the sale on my property. The sales team led by Martyn have always been welcoming and very helpful especially when I have felt quite frustrated. We didn't quite resort to tissues and tears but it was close at times! So thanks to you all for your cheery faces, helpful and professional attention. I cannot thank you enough for getting me there, and totally recommend you.

We wish you all the best and don't be a stranger, please do pop into our office when you're in the area.

Professional, persistent and pragmatic ... a refreshing blend!

The team at Breckon & Breckon Woodstock were precisely that - a team that supported each other and ourselves as sellers. Rob, our contact, blended optimism and pragmatism, never losing energy during the sale process (which during the summer season can often feel protracted!) - he kept us up to date on each step of the process and ensured the buyers were equally well informed. We would willingly recommend Breckon & Breckon to other sellers and buyers, and will use them again in the future.

Thank you so much for such kind words. This means an awful lot to our team especially when a review of such kind has been given after some of the experiences we encountered throughout the sale and this has clearly shown as an office we dealt with all matters to your satisfaction.

Personalised, efficient service

We have been delighted with the services of Breckon and Breckon, who act as letting agents for us. We've had friendly, efficient service, and find staff really approachable and helpful. They have unbeatable knowledge of the local area. We've also recently experienced Breckon acting agents, in a house purchase we made. We have been so impressed with the level of support, and excellent communication throughout. We would recommend Woodstock Breckon for both their threshold, and rental services. Well done Breckon.

Knowing your client

I decided to use Breckon &Breckon to sell my house after viewing another property that they had on their books. I was impressed with the service and the knowledge about the property, often you can go to view a house and they just open the door, instead they offered advice and service. My property was on the market less than a day, no photography done yet and literally just signed the paperwork, Robert had seen a few images that I had sent over to the office in a quick email, he knew that he had the perfect client that would love my place, he asked if he could bring him round the next day, and he made a full price offer instantly. Robert knew what his clients needs were, and he reacted to them in a prompt professional manor. Robert has kept me informed of the progress all the way through the sale, and sent me a very pleasant email at the end of the sale. I really hope that Roberts future in Estate agency is long and fruitful, as his skill set is a rare thing. Thanks to Robert, I am free to look for my next move. With Thanks, Gary Moores

Hi Gary, Thank you for your kind words, we are thrilled to hear that you are as satisfied with the result as we are. Its always nice to see vendors and purchasers working closely together to get the transaction through. We usually find that it makes it far more streamlined and eliminates any of the unnecessary stresses. Please do let me know when you are ready to start searching for your next home and I will arrange an appointment to come and see you. All the best, Robert

An excellent adviser with excellent advice from a wholly trustworthy firm.

Few people seem to regard Estate Agents very highly, however very much to my surprise I can not praise Suzanne Web highly enough ( Breckon & Breckon Lettings Woodstock office). From start to occupancy Suzanne guided me expertly answering every question rapidly, completely and kept up with my progress toward the letting of my home. At a stage when I was very close to being able to let I had to put everything on hold and Suzanne just said, let me know when you are ready. When I was ready a very pleasant couple were introduced who moved in as and when stated, it seems they are as happy with my home as I am. I thank Suzanne and any other staff I have been in touch with. throughout this letting and wish you all a happy Christmas and prosperous New Year.

Safe hands, reliable advice, just what we needed when trying to move house!

My girfriend and I were combining two property sales with one property purchase - a tricky process at the best of times. Having had a frustrating and challenging time with other local agents (the less said about this the better) we turned to Breckon in Woodstock and in particular Simeon Spencer. Sim listened to what we wanted to acheive and wasn't afraid to offer his considered advice, even when it was not perhaps what we wanted to hear at times! At all stages, Sim and the Breckon team in Woodstock acted with complete professionalism, keeping our small chain viable and offering pragmatic solutions to the inevitable bumps in the process along the way. We're now happily moved in. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Sim and the team at Breckon. I have to admit to being a little bit of a perfectionist and for us they made what was a stressful and slightly challenging house sale and purchase process, relatively simple and easy. If you are reading this and considering what agent to use, then consider no further - in our view, Breckon in Woodstock are without doubt who you are looking for.

MW · 27 September 2017

Agent replied · 30 September 2017

Wow - Thank you Mark! Your move certainly had it's moments and was one I think for future anecdotes about how to take contract exchange and completion to 'the wire' whilst slipping in another related house sale, and a family holiday, for good measure! I'm really pleased that we were able to help you get from A (well two A's actually!) to B and that you were happy with our service. Wishing you all a very happy future in your new home! All the best, Simeon.

Professionalism and courtesy

I met several people from the Woodstock office all of whom were courteous and helpful. Martyn’s professionalism and willingness to take time to understand my property needs made a difficult purchase decision easier for me. If I were to instruct an agent to put my house on the market, I would choose Breckon and Breckon in Woodstock. I would be confident in their ability to engender confidence in potential purchasers and to support the sales process throughout.

Sale of house

I was delighted with the service and support I received from Breckon and Breckon at the Woodstock Office. I had been trying to sell for two years with other estate agents who did not give honest evaluations of the property value or maintain interest in the property when it didn't sell in the first few months. B&B not only secured the sale but supported me through the trials of selling the house for which I didn't have much experience. They were realistic about the price, kept me informed at all times during the process and dealt with any queries I had in a timely way. All the staff were excellent but special thanks to Martyn Brittain.

Very Professional person centred service

The Breckon Team in Woodstock worked tirelessly on our behalf to help us sell our property in 2016. They were accessible by phone, text, and email, always responding in a timely manner. They always scheduled viewings with us and provided feedback afterwards. After they recieved an offer they continued to work with us, the purchaser, and solicitors to ensure a successful sale was achieved. We are convinced that without Martyn, Simeon, and Cheryl (The Breckon Team in Woodstock) we would not have sold our property and we would fully recommend them.

Everything you want and need in an estate agent...

I'm happy to have the opportunity to reccomend the team at Breckon & Breckon in Woodstock. Three years ago I purchased my property through them and received a refreshingly high level of service and support thoughout. I recently had to sell and move from the same property and went back to them without hesitation. Again I experienced excellent knowledge, advice, communication and a rapid sale all on favourable terms. Special thanks to Simeon throughout both dealings and during my sale to Cheryl, who is a delight! Breckon & Breckon in Woodstock, 10 out of 10 on both occasions!

Hi Kevin, Many thanks for returning to Breckon & Breckon and for your thoughts. I'm really pleased that our service lived up to your expectations; as a seller this time, and that the sale went through smoothly. Best wishes to you in your new home, from all of us here. Regards, Simeon.

A very personal approach

I enjoyed dealing with Simeon and the team at Breckon. They are professional and committed without being pushy. During my sale they worked hard on my behalf and steered me in the right direction while always respecting my preferences. I was never made to feel like 'just another client'. It's that personal approach that leads me to recommend them without hesitation. My move went well and that is in large part thanks to the team at Breckon's dedication, knowledge and personal support.

Made a daunting task so easy!

We really cannot recommend Simeon and Breckon and Breckon highly enough. As 1st time buyers all of this could be very daunting and pretty stressful. However, with Simeon in control everything went smoothly from day 1 and our 1st viewing all the way to completion. I will certainly be looking to Breckon and Breckon again in the future and would advise anybody to contact them for their property needs. Thank you from us both.

Thanks Chris! I'm really pleased everything has gone to plan and you're in the process of moving in to your first home. Your input and regular communications were very gratefully received and certainly helped smooth what, as you say, can be a daunting process, so thank you too! All the best, Simeon.

Excellent service, delightful experience buying our first home

We bought our first home recently with Simeon in Breckon & Breckon and from start to finish it was a great experience. Simeon was very knowledgeable about the house and the local area. Communication was excellent throughout the process and we were delighted when the sale went through! All in all we would not hesitate to recommend Breckon & Breckon and we would definitely use them for any future house sales or rentals.

Elaine · 20 December 2017

Agent replied · 22 December 2017

Hi Elaine. Thank you very much for your feedback and kind words. The key to a successful move is for all involved to talk to each other openly, to understand what's needed to make things progress; which is just what happened - so it was a pleasure for us to work with you and Stephen too. It's a great house and I'm sure you'll have an exciting time turning it into a wonderful home! Have a very happy Christmas and best wishes for 2018. All the best, Simeon.

Helpful and professional throughout

I found Simeon and the team very easy to deal with and with a minimum of bureaucracy. I particularly valued Simeon's advice on the state of the market, it was somehow reassuring to know that he didn't know why our property was taking a long time to sell! Unlike other agents he wasn't on at me every 5 minutes to lower the price and in the end we got what we wanted and expected.

Thank you. It was good working with you too Julie. This business continues to be an inexact science, but we continue to make headway! Kind regards, Simeon and the Woodstock Team.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
