Overall they have been a great estate agent. They originally valued the property at £450k which was too high and resulted in no viewings. I had to drop the price by £25k after 6 weeks so I think they got the valuation wrong originally. The team were great, communication was good with the team setting up a what’s app good.... Read more

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....

I had a deeply disappointing experience with them. Initially, they appeared lovely and professional, making the rental process seem smooth and reassuring. However, this positive impression quickly faded once moved into the property.
After the move-in, their attitude shifted dramatically. Communication became sporadic at best; they would often ignore my calls and emails, leaving urgent issues unresolved for extended periods. When I did manage to get in touch, the way they spoke to me was dismissive and disrespectful, making me feel like a nuisance rather than a valued tenant.
Their lack of responsiveness was compounded by an unwarranted level of harassment. It felt as though they were more interested in intimidation than in addressing legitimate concerns. This behavior created an uncomfortable living situation, adding unnecessary stress to what should have been a straightforward tenancy.
Based on my experience, I cannot recommend to anyone. Their initial charm is a facade that quickly crumbles, revealing an unprofessional and hostile approach to property management. Save yourself the trouble and look elsewhere for a more reliable and respectful letting agent.... Read more

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!!!!!... Read more

Really disappointed - I called Oaks asking them to come and do a valuation of my property. Josh put an appointment in the diary. He never showed. When I called the office after waiting at my property for him to come, Yousef apologised profusely saying that there’s no record of the appointment on the system, perhaps it hadn’t been saved properly or something. He booked me in again (after going through my details on the phone for the second time). He never showed. I managed to send him a message asking if he was still coming which was forwarded to the office so they called me. They apologised profusely stating that Yousef was unexpectedly out of the office. Is there no system in place for when a member of staff is “unexpectedly out of the office” to check their appointments and call ahead rather than letting customers wait around and waste their time? Considering this was the second time this happened, I was expecting to be really looked after and fussed over with the second appointment - hence the disappointment level when it was another no show with no communication....

As you guys have chosen to reply I will edit
my review.
Upon first arrival to your properties Emily has
forgot to bring the keys where i had to either
reschedule or wait 30 mins outside the
property for her to get the key,
The form which you got me to fill out had
spelling mistakes which showed how
professional your company is.
On this form with grammatical errors you put
the option of "Self Employed" under tenant 4
and not under Tenant 1 or 2
After me informing you guys that I was self
employed you refused to accept any proof of
income apart from a Self Assessment which
was impossible to complete in June as you
should be aware
On top of all of this Jack has chosen to Ignore us for almost a week via email and telling us that he will call back without ever doing so, knowing that our move in date was just a couple weeks away causing unnecessary stress for me and my partner.
For these reasons your are fully deserving of

Its taken a few months to leave this review, but now life has calmed down a bit I thought I'd take a few minutes to leave one. In the summer, I enquired about a number of properties with Oaks. At the point of enquiry of the first property I explained our circumstances to Joey. My daughter is currently unwell so I have had to leave work to care for her. Joey seemed entirely disinterested in assisting me in any way. He said he'd call me back to arrange a viewing... Joey never called me back. Infact, Joey actively ignored me persistently, he ignored multiple calls and during the only viewing I was allowed to have. He refused to speak to me or even say hello despite me speaking to him directly. We were made so unwelcome during the viewing that, at the end of it, we were ushered into the street with our shoes still off. It was very clear that there was no intention of putting us forward as perspective tenants... it was distressing and humiliating to be treated in the way we were in front of another family viewing the house. Please note, I was only given this viewing because I'd caught Oaks taking instruction from a landlord that constitutes a breach of the equalities act. I noted that Joey was extremely welcoming to the family viewing after us. Infact he was exactly as you'd expect a professional estate to be during a viewing, for them at least. The young girl he did the viewing with described us as "the wrong kind of family' and basically acted in a way that was the antithesis of a sales person. She actively talked us out of making an offer. Its distressing that an estate agents would treat people in this way when they have a very poorly family member. I will not go into detail but these two people really have no idea how damaging their behaviour way that day. I suspect the culture runs deep in this branch as the manager refused to speak to me when I raised a concerns. I'm considering raising my experience
of dealing with Oaks with the ombudsman. Fortunately we did find an estate agents with integrity and humanity and have found a new home... the experience was like night and day.
Edit: after a conversation with one of the DMs I'd like to follow up my review. He listened to my concerns and apologised for the experience we had. He seems a thoroughly decent man with a strong sense of integrity. Thank you for restoring my faith.... Read more

Ciaran was always helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. He was approachable too, talking to him, was just like chatting to one of the boys.

Oaks sold our house in Addiscombe. The team worked quickly, arranging professional photographers within days, and organised an open day that was well attended. They got us a great offer in a difficult market and were able to navigate us through the sale quickly. They were friendly, responsive and professional. I would recommend them to anyone selling in the area.... Read more

Had an unwarranted let by sign not appeared outside my home, I would not have shared my opinion as I generally think one of the owners is a very helpful person. However…
From a overvaluing a rental property by £250pcm (20%) and then failing to get any offers anywhere near asking, to then finding a tenant who never pays on time or their failure to chase/ pay on time; and telling me that as we do not use a fully managed service (we use rent collection) we should discuss rent with the tenant directly; through to now having signs appearing at my home which they do not manage.
They seem a lovely bunch otherwise, but my dealings thus far have not been the smoothest - though… the my last interaction with a staff member (Ashton) was that he seemed fairly astute and at least kept me updated, by emailing and calling about a missing rental payment. Perhaps my view will change…... Read more

Awful experience. They kept calling me over a few days before the viewing, repeatedly, when I obviously could not answer the phone. On the day I arrived at the appointment which was not held for me but given to others. On arrival I was not met at the property, although I was on time. After waiting I had to text the agent to let him know I was there to which he seem surprised but essentially wanted me to wait until other viewings had taken place with no apology. My experience of Oaks is your typical transactional agent that just cares about the seller and see the buyer as unimportant. If you're going to run open houses no problem get people lined up in the street to wait, but don't book in appointments and ask buyers to wait up to 30mins. Such a shame as an agent with a decent approach to buyers would do so well.... Read more

10/10 service received from Ciaran Hawes.

Do not use Oaks. You have been warned.
Having been a landlord for over 15 years and having used half a dozen estate agents in the hope of finding one that just isn’t incredibly incompetent, I can genuinely and categorically state that the search continues after using Oaks for the last year.
Virtually every member of staff I have had the displeasure of interacting with at Oaks are either incompetent and unprofessional or, worse, deliberately deceitful. The terminology used is irrelevant when, as a landlord, you just want a professional service especially when you have used their hilariously named ‘fully-managed service.’ In relation to the last year I have been using them, I honestly feel that I have actually done more work than them – which is strange as I cannot fathom how each and every member of staff can actually make mistakes on every simple task they are asked to do. My suspicion is that it may be a deliberate ploy as I do not know how they spend their time (although once when I called, I was told that they were playing football in the office… this could possibly be the reason but surely even the fittest of them couldn’t be playing throughout their whole opening hours? Perhaps Sir Gareth could send some scouts down to Croydon to have a look...)
I was hoping the new incoming manager would improve things. Unfortunately this is not the case. He is either covering for the incompetence of the staff he inherited or he is of the same calibre as the rest of his team. It is difficult to say which but I believe he has had sufficient time to make up for previous layers of incompetence, instead of which he continues to add more. The point is, if he can’t remedy the ingrained lack of professionalism, does it matter who is to blame? Either way, things have not improved over the previous manager, who as it stands, was even worse. This may change though.
Do not use Oaks. You have been warned.
I would like to suggest other estate agents but, as mentioned at the beginning, in my experience they are all as bad as each other. What I can suggest is always haggle and reduce the rates that they want to charge – not a particularly British thing to do but when you actually consider the work that they actually do (and the work that you are forced to do to compensate for their failures) you will realise you have still heavily over-paid them however much you manage to haggle it down to. Also never use their own contractors – build a list of trusted ones you can rely on and give this to the estate agents to use, or you will be liable for extortionate charges (obviously after the event so you have to fight for an explanation/refund). I am unsure whether Oaks do this but it is common knowledge that the contractors estate agents use charge larger fees due to having to pay them commission. With this information you can be the judge of whether you would believe estate agents have the best interests of their paying clients at heart.
I expect a response from Oaks trying to state that the issues were *enter excuse and blame the landlord* and I that have misrepresented them. I have not. I have literally dozens of emails which they have sent (from different members of staff) stating they would do something, failing to do so, then finding a reason why they haven’t done it. A favourite of mine is ‘oh, I was just going to call you.’ It really is laughable.
There is a slim (and currently very doubtful) possibility that the new manager will turn things around and if this is the case, I will amend my review. Please refrain from holding your breath.
I could continue this review (spoiler: it wouldn’t get any better) but I won’t – I’ve made my point and the only reason I am writing this is to protect any landlords who are contemplating using Oaks.
Do not use Oaks. You have been warned. Just in case you missed either of the previous warnings.
Good luck.... Read more

Gave me false hope that I had my dream place, that I just needed to prove my savings and that I'd be able to pay the holding deposit.
Said congratulations on the phone and that I didn't need to worry , would send bank details. I waited and waited.
Ignored me when it was sent over , had to call all the lines and pester.
Then told me at 7pm after the deadline of paying the deposit that it had been given to someone else because the income wasn't enough . This should've been checked before the congratulations call and it should never have been said that my savings would be okay.

We have always sold our own properties, with the belief that no-one knows our home as well as we do but after our chain collapsed at a very late stage, we lost the enthusiasm to go through it all again. James at Oaks connected with us and after an honest chat, we decided to allow his team the opportunity to reinvigorate our sale and impress us. James said that his team would put their best efforts into selling our house at a strong price and so they did. Sold within one month to a quality buyer and we have just exchanged contracts above our asking price. James and his team delivered on their confidence, were prompt and communicative throughout and handled the entire process with the utmost professionalism. All this during a period of significant economic challenge and political turmoil. I highly recommend the Oaks team to deliver your sale. Thank you Oaks!... Read more

Ciaran Hawes and his team at Oak Estate Agents were an absolute pleasure to deal with.
Ciaran was very easy to get along with and always on hand to answer any questions.
He knows the local area like the back of his hand as he has lived there all of his life.
Ciaran and his team are very proactive, He told me that he was excited to sell my property and had a list of potential clients who would be very interested.
True to his word, he sold my property in one day with five separate offers on the table!!.
Using Oak Estate's has been a breath of fresh air, unlike a lot of the so called big estate agents who promise you the earth and then don't deliver, being an independent estate agent, Oak Estate's and Ciaran's Team went above and beyond to deliver a stress free sale.
I Highly recommend

Oaks orginally provided advice on our portfolio when the prospect of us moving our flats over was low, they were just glad to advise us and help with solutions to resolve some of the problems we were having.
We started with one flat and after a few weeks we’re so well looked after we immediatly moved the rest of the portfolio over. The team managed the transition seamlessly and we haven’t looked back since. No request is too much trouble and the advice continues to be great - we particularly appreciate the in branch management and value obtained for essential works in the flat.

Right from the initial valuation Oaks were a pleasure to deal with. They were open, honest and transparent throughout the process of selling our home.

However, Oaks pulled out all the stops to not only reassure us it was possible, but put action into words and make it happen.

My sale has not completed yet, however a completed or not completed sale does not reflect on how hard a team works on getting a sale to completion. James, Ciaran, Daniel, Amin and Conal have worked very hard on my sale. This is very appreciated as I know my property is in good hands. I can not fault the hard work, good communication, politeness of this team. What often is not recognised is the work carried out between marketing and completion. James replied to an email very late in the evening which is not a requirement. Like many of us he has a family and I think hard working people who go above what is expected should be recognised...now don't expect everyone that he will reply late ????. But the fact that he is willing to when he is able to send that last email before leaving the office shows a commitment to building a good relationship with his clients and willingness to make the process of selling easier.
I hope Conal does not mind me saying this....when he turned up at my door as my estate agent to conduct viewings I thought wow he seems young, however he has knowledge and professionalism like any older estate agent. I have worked with other older estate agents from other companies and they were not able to present my property in a good way and get a sale to progress. Conal was great. I say "was" as my sale is now progressing through to completion. I would not hot have chosen a different estate agent to conduct viewings other than Conal.... Read more

I cannot say enough good things about the guys at Oak Estates! They have made our sale process easy, quick, straightforward and smooth. Prior to coming to them we had our property on the market for months on end with Barnard Marcus and they did such a poor job of getting in viewings that we started to lose confidence in our flat. It affected our mental health if truth be told as our flat is lovely with a beautiful garden and amazing location and we couldn't make sense of what was happening. After several long and frustrating months we had the good sense to change agents and we instantly felt at ease with more rapport, transparency, integrity and effort. James and Jaeden were absolute superstars and did everything that they promised us. No hollow lip service here and amazing customer service from start to finish. If you're buying or selling a property I can 100% recommend that you get in touch with these guys. You won't regret it! You'll only regret that you took so long to do it! Personable, professional and genuine go getters - you'll be in very safe and capable hands.

Within a couple of hours he had several viewings on my property and was extremely helpful (as I am not in the area) with regards to arranging for keys to be collected and liaising with contractors.
Every time Joey confirmed something he followed it up in writing and made everything clear. Certainly took the stress out of finding tenants for me and in fact gave me several choices.
Overall was a pleasure dealing with Joey and I will not hesitate to use him again when I need or recommend, it’s so hard to find good people these days but Joey will restore your faith in good Estate Agents.

George was fantastic with contacting me and having staff trained and for the awful treatment I was subjected to. Stefanie did contact me after my discussion with George for her inappropriate conduct and lack of professionalism.
Nonetheless, the experience has made me wary of returning to Oaks as if I did not put a 1 star review on Google, George would not have been made aware of the poor customer service being delivered.
When looking to spend over £3000 per month on a property, a good level of customer service and attention to detail is expected.

I'd like to specifically shout out Zoe from the team at Oaks for all of her help and support in getting my flat sold. Zoe's first visit to my flat in mid September 2020 was fully masked and socially distanced without me even asking - unlike other local agents who had to be asked or didn't have masks with them. She was honest and provided a great valuation, had an open day and additional individual viewings booked in (7 in total if I remember correctly) within a week and I had a great offer which I accepted within two weeks of the listing going on Rightmove. Her help didn't stop there; she maintained proactivity in responding to my queries throughout, helped me and my buyer keep in communication and even helped to liaise with both the agent managing my onward purchase, as well as my (less than polite) conveyancer. Zoe goes above and beyond and though I am glad that the stressful process is over (completion Jan 2021 owing to delays with my purchase), I am glad that I had Zoe and the Oaks team as the managing agents.

Although I had already decided to go with them even though they were a newish agents. I do not regret it. After a good friend of mine said she new the family well ( James managing director) and that I had chosen well as she would imagine him to be very trustful.
I thoroughly agree with that and as I said although I haven’t sold it was no fault of theirs as I had a lot of viewings and it’s just not the right time for me.
I’d say go for it as all the ones I have met from James, Daniel, Ciaran, Blair and Aaron they all know what they are talking about.
