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.
Ocean Estate Agents were helpful and efficient in finding me a flat.
Best solicitors were have ever used. Olivia was professional and the communication was excellent. Olivia informed me each step of the house sell and was easy obtainable my phone and email. Very pleased with the service and would definitely use ocean again.
Ocean estate agents have been brilliant at every stage of a complicated purchase. Melissa Bell and the team in the Westbury office have been amazing in looking after the process in a very professional and supportive way: always accessible, patient, friendly and encouraging. Excellent communication skills go a long way. Thank you.
Excellent service. Professional with great communication. Highly recommended.
All the staff have been great, taking care of selling and buying our new home. Keeping us updated and helping with the purchase especially as it had many issues to sort.
Sold our mums house within a week, we actually got far more than we expected thanks to the excellent marketing and service provided. Very helpful with advice when considering offers, a totally professional service provided by Steve Clarke and his team. Also many thanks to Ocean Lawyers with a speedy efficient conveyancing service.

The whole procedure was done in a very professional and efficient way and I would definitely recommend this company. Georgia was always quick to forward the paperwork and answer any questions we had. She would chase the other solicitors involved and kept us informed and updated all the way through to completion
We used Ocean Financial Services to help us to find the best mortgage for us when buying our first home. In very uncertain times Luigi was amazing. When rates changed he was in contact immediately and by the time we exchanged had saved us approx £150 a month from our initial mortgage quote.
House hunting in Bristol can be daunting as all heck, in a constant state of checking ads, calling letting agents, making applications, all while it feels like your competition is half the city. Ocean has been by far the most attentive and supportive letting agency of the bunch! Particular shout out to Tommy who's always been on call to answer any questions and make sure that we're well informed every step of the way!
Experienced and knowledgeable team. Proactive and very helpful.
Amazing communication and very helpful nothing was to much to ask for if you were stuck on a question
I have dealt with many estate agents over the years and cannot recommend Ocean Southville enough. From the initial (honest) evaluation through to completion, everyone I dealt with at this office was efficient, professional, and courteous. Using the in-house legal team was also a good idea: they provided an equally positive experience, and being in the same office makes everything work that much easier. You won’t be disappointed, you’ll be impressed.
I feel my experience with ocean was amazing everyone was so helpful and kind from start to finish if I had to do it all again I would choose ocean
We used Ocean Estate agents to sell our home and buy a new one. All staff we dealt with were fantastic, very friendly & completely professional from start to finish. They guided us through the process and tried to make it as stress free as possible. We had a particularly difficult process with buying our new home, caused by the seller, but Ocean were very supportive and kept us informed at all times. We wouldn't hesitate to use them again and highly recommend to friends and family.
This was excellent highly professional service.Above with people whom you can trust .Thankyou
Great company, everyone was very helpful throughout the whole process of buying a house. Ollie and Cleo in particular were wonderful and very quick to respond to any queries.
Such a positive experience all round with Ocean. We purchased our house through them 10 years ago, and found them professional, helpful and honest throughout. We came back to them to sell, and the same was true as a vendor. The whole team was highly professional, friendly and well informed about our property, the potential buyers and everything to do with the sale, so we were well supported through the entire process - especially when things got a bit tricky for other reasons.
We’ve bought and sold a house through Ocean. Their moving manager was very helpful keeping us updated regularly on how the sale was going. We used Ocean Lawyers too who did a great job on the conveyance work.
The moving process for us was unfortunately a very long one but all the staff at ocean were great throughout. They kept us informed at every stage and it really felt like they were trying their hardest for us. They’re a great team!

May 02,2024Lily has been fantastic supporting us secure a letting on our new place in Bristol. Quick to pick up the phone and even quicker to reply on emails. She genuinely sounded excited for us down the phone when announcing we had secured the flat! She sounds like she loves her job and has made a hectic couple of days very easy. Thanks Lily
