    With over ten years worth of experience, James went as far as anybody could go working for the most profitable estate agent in the country. Realising that there's only so much you can alter when working within such a large corporate environment, James teamed back up with his mentor Gabriel to expand the Oaks brand and to get back to doing what he loves most; servicing vendors by listing their properties for sale and helping them achieve the very best price. Having grown up locally and having attended the local schools to boot, with no corporate shackles and unnecessary targets with no benefit to the vendor to hit; James is finally able to provide that one-on-one service that our vendors want and most importantly, deserve.

    Testimonials from Landlords

    • Landlord Testimonial

      Miss C Salis 
       Oaks were amazing! They helped me finding tenants for my flat and I couldn't be happier with them. Special mention to Jack Holloway from the Croydon office, who constantly stayed in touch with me way before the flat was available for the new tenants and kept the communication smooth while I was abroad. Sam Halfpenny was also great, he helped me with the deposit protection when I got stuck with it. Last but not least, Alison Polit who was also a superstar! Highly recommend.

      Mr L Harris
      Good experience letting with Jack in the Croydon office. Didn't waste my time or faff around like other agents when I initially contacted, was quick and transparent from the beginning which is why I chose them. Found me tenants within a day of advertising and secured two offers above the monthly asking price. Competitively priced too compared to other agents who charge fees for everything under the sun.

      Ms D Fihosy
      Oaks Estate Agents in Addiscombe have provided an excellent experience in letting my house from start to finish. They were quick to respond throughout the process and proactive in sorting everything out. Jack kept me informed every step of the way and was extremely responsive whenever I needed answers. They have made my experience as a new Landlord stress-free. I would highly recommend them to anyone!

      Mrs H Heard
      It's been the first time we have rented out our home and it's fair to say we were quite nervous! From the moment we met Jack we felt totally reassured and supported in the process that was totally new to us! Jack has gone above and beyond to help us and it's been really appreciated. Everyone we have come into contact with has been helpful and professional without being pushy or overbearing. We are so pleased we went with Oakes and would recommend.

      Ms D Laughton
      I have just used Oaks Estate Agents to rent my flat out. The team was very friendly and very helpful, especially Jack at Addiscombe branch and Samyul. Could not fault the service they provided.

      Mrs L Tebaldi 
      Jack was fantastic, efficient and so pleasant from start to finish and we cannot praise him highly . He communicated with us regularly so that we were fully informed of any updates. Jack was true to his word throughout the process . We would not hesitate to use Oaks again!

    Testimonials from Tenants

    • Tenant Testimonial

      Mr N Smith 
      After searching for a property for months, I was struggling to find the right property for myself and my partner. This all changed when I spoke to Jack at Oaks who advised me that he was about to bring a property on the market soon but would let me view it before it goes online. I was then sent over to one of his time, who took me to the property and answered all the questions that I had for him. This was the smoothest process I had ever experienced compared to other agents I have previously used. Thank you so much Jack & team and I hope you enjoy the chocolates!
    • Tenant Testimonial

      Miss L Wright
      I want to thank Jack and the team for their incredible support in helping us secure a new home. We all know that moves can be the most stressful experience, especially coughing up large amounts of money during the cost-of-living crisis and when there are limited properties available. Jack and the team were supportive and helped where they could, going above and beyond in some cases. I wouldn't be in my new home if it weren't for them. I would recommend the estate agent to anyone looking for a new home.

      Miss S Mguni 
      I have had my fair share of useless/unresponsive estate agents, but Oaks have been great especially the communication with Tori from beginning to end. She helped us have a seamless move in, answered all my questions quickly and made the process that much more stress free. Jack also stepped in and helped us with understanding some parts of our agreement and just being an overall helpful presence through the whole process. They stayed in contact and have been super responsive even after the move in. This wouldn't have been a smooth process if it wasn't for the two of them. Thank you for your help!
