Would highly recommend Oak Estates. Used them to both buy&sell a property. Kris was fantastic in finding us a dream home at the right price as he knew exactly what we wanted after the first couple of viewings. Amy was brilliant in ensuring the sell/purchase progressed smoothly as she regularly updated the chain on progress. Thank you to the whole team at Oak estates for a reliable and friendly service.

A+++++ It was a slightly unusual house buying experience as the house needed some work prior to completion. The whole team (Kris in particular) we're very professional and always on call. They even recommend great solicitors to use.

Would recommend most highly. Really good agency, fantastic people, we couldn't be more pleased with the service we had. They stand head and shoulders above the other agency's we've used in the past, they totally know the market, local area, what helps you to sell etc. They totally know their stuff!

Awesome staff working there. We had the pleasure to deal with Kris who guide us though the buying of our dream home. Compare to others ea, it's transparent, clear and very professional approach. No doubt in future if we sell our home they sold us we will hire their services. Honestly we are very grateful :-

Kris and Amy did a brilliant job of guiding us through the whole process offering sound advice and realistic valuation without the tiresome, salesy nonsense you get from many other estate agents. Not only did they market our house brilliantly, they also found us our next home. Highly recommended.
