Ocean Estate Agents, Southville

I'm currently searching for a new home and have viewed a couple of properties with Claire Kington. She has been friendly, professional and easy to deal with throughout. She has taken the time to understand what I'm looking for and keeps me updated when suitable properties become available.

Claire communicates clearly, is always happy to answer questions, and strikes the right balance of being supportive without being pushy. The whole experience has felt straightforward and no-nonsense, which I really appreciate as a buyer. I'd happily recommend her to anyone looking for a home.

Fantastic communication and very clear and concise steps on completing the process! Big shout out to Ollie, Fabi, Toby and Neil, they all provided a positive and helpful service.

They all contributed to making what is quite a complicated process very comfortable and reassuring. I would highly recommend anyone to use Ocean Clifton.

Many thanks all!

Fabulous!

I cannot recommend Ocean in Westbury on Trym highly enough. From the day we had our house valued, right through to exchange of contracts, the whole team (including the solicitors) have been invaluable and could not have been more helpful if they tried. I would particularly like to thank Chris, Mel and Marise who are the diamonds in the crown as far as I am concerned and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

I had a great experience with Ocean Estate Agents while arranging my mortgage. The whole process was smooth and straightforward, and the team was very helpful, professional, and supportive throughout.

They kept me informed at every stage, answered all my questions, and made the whole mortgage process much easier than I expected. I really appreciate their time, effort, and excellent customer service.

I would definitely recommend Ocean Estate Agents to anyone looking for a reliable and professional estate agent. Thank you for all your help!

Great experience

The whole team at Ocean that we worked with were amazing throughout the whole purchase process. From the estate agent who showed us around, to the legal team, to the mortgage advisor all were professional and kept us informed every step of the way. There was an unfortunate delay with some enquiries and our solicitor Laura kept us in the loop and really pushed to get things over the line just in time. Thanks also to Simon the mortgage advisor who helped to secure the mortgage and get and extension. We would really recommend the service and will definitely be using them again! Special thanks to Laura, Simon, Alicia, Billy and everyone else we had contact with.

Ocean Estate Agents came highly…

Ocean Estate Agents came highly recommended by a neighbour and have a great reputation as the go-to estate agents in Bedminster. They absolutely lived up to it.

Selling a house can be stressful, but the team made the whole experience so much easier. They kept me informed every step of the way, were always approachable, responsive and genuinely had my best interests at heart. I always felt I was in safe hands.

A huge thank you to Claire, Tom and Jenny for everything they did to help me through the sale. Their support, professionalism and friendly approach made all the difference.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ocean Estate Agents to anyone and would definitely use them again in the future. Thanks again to such a fantastic team!

A Super Service

I have been continually impressed with Louise and the team at Ocean Property Lawyers, so much so that I intend to use them again on another sale/purchase next year. Communications were frequent and the portal is a great tool to keep up to date with the sale process without having to constantly pester for updates. A truly professional team who worked hard to get this sale over the line whilst managing all expectations. A big thank you to you all.
