Fantastic agency, brilliant people with an excellent customer service focus. Could not fault them for the support and advice they gave in the rental process. The aftercare has been great too - responsive, communicative and effective.... Read more

My first rental property needed to be managed but I admittedly was inexperienced with how to get my property ready in every respect including safety certificates etc. I shouldn’t have worried as Oakheart property lettings guided me through it all and helped me complete everything that was required. Cara’s expert team know what they are doing so you can trust them 100%.They were so thorough, patient and extremely knowledgeable with ensuring everything was in place and found us amazing tenants within a couple of weeks. They were always super lovely and always responded promptly to my calls. Nailed it! Thank you Team Oakheart.... Read more

We recently instructed Oakheart West Mersea to sell our home.
The complete team not only at Mersea but also Colchester worked hard effectively and not least professionally to sell the property.
Their aftercare following the sale to keep matters on track up to completion was also excellent.
This review is written to offer insight into our extremely positive experience of choosing Oakhart estate agents.
Nothing was too much trouble.
Thank you team Oakhart.... Read more

Was optimistic when first deciding to use these guys. My partners words during the build up to renting out one of their properties were "these guys seem really good I've not had much experience with estate agents but they've been really helpful."
I was more skeptical as having used most estate agents in Colchester over the years I am aware that they're all helpful and speedy in corresponding before they take your money, but then once they have it they couldn't care less about any issues or help you need.... Unfortunately I was right again with these guys.
After moving in we asked about the underfloor heating in the lounge that the estate agent who viewed the property told us they had, turns out there's no heating in that room whatsoever which is a legal requirement. When bringing this up to the estate agents they were working at a snails pace to help us to which we had to constantly email and phone to try and get any update/help with. This was all during the cold spell we had in January and meant we could see our breath when going into the front room! Ended up borrowing a plug in heater from a family member which isn't cheap.
After taking more than a month to sort out a plug in heater themselves to give us (still not the legal obligation) we asked for a reduction in rent or compensation to help with the electricity bill which they flat out refused and told us they don't see what the issue is since the last two tenants didn't have a problem with having no heating.
Flash forward to today and have had a threat from the lettings manager that we can end our tenancy if we're unhappy with the property, which at no point have we inferred that we had any desire to do so.
Avoid this estate agent at all cost, they seem cosey because they are more locally based but that just means if there's an issue it's tough and there's no head office you can speak with to try and get the ball rolling. I've dealt with some terrible estate agents and some decent ones but these guys are by far the worst I've ever had to deal with.
Don't worry though we have a plug in heater we can control with an app...... Read more

I recently bought a house through Oakheart Property Colchester. Right from the first stages of viewing properties they were reliable, easy to communicate with and professional. Every step of the way they have assisted in ensuring a smooth process. I want to add a mention that Lucy who was our sales progression point of contact from Oakheart has been absolutely brilliant. Always fast to respond, reliable and helped us with all information we needed or questions we had. If we move in the future we definitely plan on using Oakheart.... Read more

So Oakhaart were my third agent after being on the market for 3 or 4 months. Difficult time to sell I know. I was sold with Oakhaart within weeks. It seems they actually did follow up viewings!
So I was happy with the sale but was really impressed with the sales progression! The sale had some hiccups and some pushback but this is expected. Lucy was run ragged admittedly in part by my calls ???? but was just so busy being amazing for everyone else she dealt with but always got back to me via phone or email. Lucy never made me feel like I was putting her out. I am relentless and I do keep on top of things to make sure they get done. Lucy often beat me to it. Updates were proactive not reactive. Lucy you are incredible and to be fair analise is a trooper too. Came in when she was poorly so no one was left in the lurch. Ladies you are a credit to Oakhaart.
I am sure your days are quieter without me ???? but I thank you so much for being with me in this whole process... Read more
