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.
Had a wonderful and seamless experience dealing with Melissa and Steve from Ocean. Would highly recommend to anyone in the market to buy
Jack was really helpful! Quick and easy application so far!
I really enjoyed my experience with Ocean. Excellent communication throughout and they chased up my queries very quickly Highly recommend
Difficult to contact - once we paid the holding fee they replied to emails slowly and ignored questions asked re timings, then requested documentation filled in in short time frames. Wouldn't use again.
Put up 4 sale in april..sold a week later, exchange and completion on same day,6th sept..all very smooth,money in bank same day
The service provided by Ocean was very professional, personable and efficient. In particular Mollie who showed us several properties and was very helpful, friendly and very informative which was crucial as we were first time renters. Tommy was also very responsive on email, quick to answer any questions or queries we had and was a great help in making the formal process of securing the property very smooth and stress free. We would highly recommend!
We recently had the pleasure of working with Simon Lack to find a suitable mortgage, and we were very pleased with the experience. Simon was very friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful. He took the time to understand our financial situation and provided clear, tailored advice. His expertise meant that we found the best mortgage deal, saving us both money and time. We would highly recommend Simon Lack to anyone in need of a mortgage advisor.
Fast replies , they dont take much time throughout the process, very understanding
Sarah was so helpful when I had queries about our house and getting our deposit back. She was good at responding promptly and was so lovely when I spoke to her on the phone! Overall I had a wonderful experience!
I have used various estate agents and solicitors over the years and found Ocean to be conscientious and professional with excellent communication, making the process less stressful.
Horrible experience will not be using Ocean again. Never updating when need it, was told delays was being caused by our solicitor but it was the in-house oceans solicitor that the buyers were using causing all the issues.
Lovely Company, excellent staff interface every step of the way. They went over and above expectations throughout the whole process of selling the property and when a problem arose through nobody's fault they stepped in, sorted it by making external arrangements, to ensure that no drama was made out of a crisis. Thank you so much Ocean Estates from the whole family.
They were very proactive and helped us at every step of the sell. The house valuation was the highest of the 3 estate agents we contacted but we sold very near to this price so good job on that too!
The Ocean team at Southville were super helpful, Claire showed us around and was knowledgeable about the house as well as the local area. We found the Ocean platform intuitive to use with helpful updates as we progressed with purchase. All very easy.
Staff at Ocean were really helpful & would always get back to me in response to a question promptly
I can honestly say that without Melissa at the Westbury on Trym branch helping through the home buying process it would have been a lot more stressful. I can highly recommend the branch as having excellent customer service.
Sadie from Ocean Shirehampton is a wonderful person. Very helpful and friendly. My mortgage advisor disappeared and it was Saidie who walked me through the whole process step by step. I can't express in words how grateful I am to her. Sadie, Thank you so much
I cannot thank Ocean enough, both the estate agent team and the legal team were fantastic, Joe, Gemma, Jess and Lucy. Communication from beginning to end was amazing. The timeline online is great but I could always phone or pop in if I needed help with forms or paperwork. I would absolutely recommend with no hesitation. Thanks again for making a stressful time very seamless.
We had a very pleasant experience with ocean estate agent and conveyance team in the process of buying our first home. They were patient , reassuring ,kind and very responsive throughout the few months it took to get there. Thank you team, really appreciate your work.
