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.
We called to book a viewing and saw the property the same day with Emma. Emma was very pleasant and knowledgeable about the property. She was able to answer all our questions and seemed genuinely interested in our thoughts. Emma put forward our offer and called the next day to say it had been accepted. Would recommend Emma and the Ocean Westbury on Trym team.
I have had an excellent experience with the Ocean team, from my initial enquiry through to completion of the process and tenants moving in. Both Will Jenkins and Lily Butler have been informative, helpful and very professional, I would 100% recommend them.
Recently purchased a house through Ocean Shirehampton and the service was excellent! Tanya in particular kept the whole chain moving and updated, an absolute asset to the team !!!
Westbury on Trym branch Viewings done on my property I was delighted with the service given by Emma she was extremely thorough and very helpful Thank you so much
Lily at Ocean has made the whole process as smooth and as stress free as I think the process of letting can be. With regular communication and updates, we have felt in control and up to date. Made the whole process pain free!
Great service, friendly staff, nothing too much trouble.
I used Ocean for conveyancing on a new build flat as recommended specialists. The team were polite but sub-par on the details and I don't think best represented my interests. I'm not sure the contract had even been read prior to sending on to me; I had to go through in detail to pick up references to clauses that didn't exist and press hard for an accurate specification document. The contract feels weighted towards the vendor and the spec lacks the detail necessary to cover for a couple of disappointing elements in the final product (including EPC rating and flooring). Would use a different conveyancer in future.
Tommy was very helpful and friendly through the process of renting a flat. We had a few problems with the referencing agency but Tommy worked to come up with alternative solutions. Having had poor experiences with estate agents in the past, I would use Oceans again to find another property with confidence.
Zero verbal communication from officers handling transaction. Very Poor customer service!
Lily butler Was extremely helpful.
Great experience wirh Ocean Downend in Bristol. Our contact Jemima Kevell is very professionnal and client oriented. We do recommand!
Everything went very smoothly and was informed of all eventualities in good time
The team were always helpful, on hand to answer any questions and eager to make the process as smooth as possible. Our house sold quickly at a price we were happy with and we were kept up to date with the developments through to completion.
We chose Ocean due to Jack Thayer and it was he who sold the property. He has sadly left but the Manager, Paul was very good in picking things up from Jack, and Demi their new Move Manager is excellent. She is very knowledgeable, re-assuring and super efficient. I think every business needs a Demi. Thanks so much Ocean for helping us to start another exciting chapter in our lives.
Lily Butler, who’s a great agent and helps me a lot. I have very good experience in Ocean when she helps me.
Truly impressed by the efficient and professional service offered by Tommy, Will and Mollie from Ocean Estate Agents Southville! Their reliable and swift response has really speeded up the whole rental process with accuracy and I am so grateful to have met this wonderful team. Thank you so much!
Nothing but good things to say about Ocean during the process of finding a rental flat. Lily B was very helpful and understood our requirements perfectly. She answered all of our questions promptly and was helpful throughout the entire process.
The Ocean Downend Lettings team are fantastic. I have used their services three times now, to find new tenants, the experience each time was friendly and professional. The team are great! In a village where there are 4 letting agents with 100 yards, I would recommend Ocean (I have previously used 3 of them)
Efficient and great communication
