Ocean Estate Agents have been selling Bristol homes of all shapes and sizes – large and small, grand ¬and modest, smart and not so smart… for all kinds of people since 1984.
Founder Paul Harris started the business over 40 years ago with Ocean Bishopston on Gloucester Road, and there are now 12 local offices across the city including one in Portishead and Weston super Mare.
Their ethos is very much ‘people before property’, with the emphasis on looking after the individuals and families buying or selling their homes, to make what is often a challenging experience, as worry-free as possible.
Ocean’s teams, reflect the culturally rich communities of this wonderful city, spanning a diverse mix of ages and backgrounds from across Bristol.
It is also very much a family business. Many of the team have grown up and started their own families whilst working for Ocean – they even have some second generation ‘Oceaners’ now working for the company.

Feb 26,2025Very bad experience, alot of unuseful emails that had the same content that mad you feel more pressured and stressed. In the other hand lack of the appropriate communication when you have any questions or concerns regarding the contract that is being sent as the last step of the whole renting process which is so strange because when you see the contract you would be surprised with how biased it is towards the landlord rights with alot of pages that full of laws that we have no idea about. And now they wouldn’t send you your holding deposit back which make no sense !!!, I didn’t rent the place ??!!

Feb 25,2025We have had superb assistance from Ocean Estate Agents, Westbury-on-Trym, particularly Mel (Melissa Bell) to sell our house. She has gone above and beyond to manage the process that presented more than the usual number of obstacles. If you see any poor reviews it is unlikely to apply to this part of Ocean home, more likely the conveyancing, so don't be put off. Thanks to Mel and her colleagues at Ocean, Westbury.

Feb 25,2025Despite multiple unseen issues Tanya and the team at Ocean Shirehampton were a much needed rock throughout. I'm adamant we would not be moving into our new home without the tireless efforts from Tanya. Extremely grateful to have had the help we did. Would give an extra star if I could

Feb 24,2025Everyone at Ocean Estate Agents were friendly, helpful and professional. They quickly identified the property style we wanted and were able to guide us to houses that were appropriate for us which saved us time looking at properties that wouldn't be for us. Despite some legal delays, the whole team stuck with us and were really supportive. Whenever we came in the branch, we were always met with a smile and kindness- our toddler now tells everyone that she loves Seamus and Liam. It was really helpful having Chloe as the sale progressor who kept us in the loop.

Feb 16,2025A big thanks to all the team, especially Lauren for guiding me through the complicated process of buying a house
Derek Metson
Feb 16,2025A really good agent with an honest description of the best flat we have looked at. Too many agents show pictures that give a far too flattering impression, but this flat was better than expected. Friendly helpful staff and no problems.

Feb 27,2025This was a very stressful house move due to various external factors, but Melissa (Move Manager at Westbury-on-Trym branch) helped to guide us through the process every step of the way, and could not have been any more responsive, communicative and helpful. She has a knack of making you feel much calmer about everything, when the stress levels are rising! Thank you Mel and all of the Ocean team for your help.
