    Darren O'Connor - Managing Director
    Darren has been a mortgage broker for over 20 years, he is proactive when working with his customers, ensuring that he always thinks outside the box, when it comes to sourcing the best available product.His knowledge of lenders criteria is key to making sure that he gets it right first time, which in turn makes the process a seamless transaction, from start to finish.Obtaining a mortgage can be quite unnerving, even for the experienced homeowner, in an ever-changing world of regulation, it is imperative to keep abreast of lender criteria changes, and market activity. It is not always about obtaining the lowest rate, as this rate may attract other charges, which add to the overall cost of the mortgage which could mean that the overall outgoings in the initial years of the mortgage, would not be as cost effective as taking maybe a very slightly higher rate, where there are incentives to the buyer.Darren likes to get his customers involved in the research process, so that they understand his remarkable talent and appreciate that he has his customers best interests at heart, right through to completion. For the experienced homeowner, it is always about making sure that their mortgage is working for them, and looking for opportunities to make the most of what they have. When it comes to your first property purchase, it can be a daunting process, not knowing where to start, or facing the uncertainty of leaving the parental home, or the rented property. Darren will make sure you are completely looked after, from the moment you start, to the very moment you get the key to your property, to make it a memorable experience.

    Testimonials from Sellers

    • Seller Testimonial

      I honestly can't recommend Oatley & O'Connor enough. I ordinarily don't leave reviews, but I also know that estate agents don't generally get a good reputation online, and their services are worth others knowing about. They worked tirelessly to help me sell my property, and went above and beyond on numerous occasions to help with aspects of the sale that ordinarily estate agents wouldn't always help with. They're kind and considerate in terms of how they work with you, and really listen to what you need to ensure you get the most out of your property, as well as also being firm for you when acting on your behalf. I'll definitely be using them again in the future.

      Oatley & O'Connor are the most honest, professional and friendly estate agents. I cannot recommend the James, Jade and Darren enough. It was a fantastic experience from start to finish. But there's also a genuine caring side to the team too. This estate agency must be a go to. Excellent rates and they are always there no matter what day or even when they're on holiday! A massive big thank you. We couldn't have done it without you. The Turner family

      James and his team were excellent throughout the process! We used Oatley and O'Connor for both purchase and sale. Their competitive rates, professional service, knowledge of the market, support and communication was second to none! Using a messaging platform as a primary means of communication meant that questions from both parties were seen and answered immediately (we really appreciated this aspect). James, Jade, Gemma and Darren are all very friendly and went above and beyond our expectations and the responsibilities of their job to ensure the process went as smoothly and successfully as possible for all parties. We can highly recommend using this company! Thank you!

      Within days of us having a discussion and sharing our plans with Oatley & O'Connor, our property was on the market and our open day was booked! We immediately had three offers thanks to the wonderful Gemma who conducted the viewings! James, Darren & Jade kept consistent contact with us throughout the transaction - by creating a WhatsApp group for us all which was super convenient and easy to maintain contact and all updates! The team always made my partner & I feel like "no question is a stupid question" and always gave us the best, honest guidance! The team went above and beyond right from the very start up until the day of completion - even when some of the team were abroad on holiday.. they still took their laptops and kept in contact with us! What an amazing team! We have found our estate agents for any future moves that's for sure!

      Absolutely amazing estate agents, and that's very rare nowadays. We dealt with an amazing lady called Jade who was on the ball all the time. She would always ring me back straight away and was very helpful and knowledgeable about the property we were buying and all the area .I would highly recommend this company ? Especially if you want a slick and trouble free sale or purchase.

    • Buyer Testimonial

      Can not recommend Oatley & O'Connor enough, if there was a higher rating that 5 I'd be using it. From the first day we spoke to Jade to arrange viewing the house to today when we finally exchanged, the attention to detail from everyone has been amazing. The friendly emails and calls every couple of days to keep us constantly up to date with the purchase, as first time buyers, was amazing and really made this experience even more special. The day we viewed the house we were pitched a dream of what our lives would look like if we put in an offer and Jade and the team really have made that dream a reality. Cannot thank them enough for their patience and care through the whole process, so thankful such an amazing team could be a part of our journey to our first home.

      James truly went the extra mile to make our dream home purchase come true - nothing was ever too much trouble, including late night document signing and gathering and dealing with valuers and all the rest of it. We had a fantastic experience even if we had the usual bumps and scrapes in the purchase process. This included simple means such as a dedicated WhatsApp group where we could chat at any time, where he could let us know of progress or switch a staff member to show us around. I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend James to anyone selling a property in the Canterbury area.

      It is so refreshing to deal with an estate agent who operates with total integrity and is also so efficient. Jade represented the buyer's interests with total professionalism and was so effective in responding to my endless questions. And there were no back doors when I made my offer - Darren and Jade knew I was a serious buyer and took the house off the market the day my offer was accepted. I could not ask for more. This team sets the bar - I expect only a handful of estate agents across Kent may come near to this local agent. Faultless.
