Ocean Bishopston
  • paragraph

    At Ocean, we've been selling homes in Bristol since 1983. From our first tiny office on Gloucester Road, we've grown steadily over the years, and today we have eight estate agency offices across the city, as well as five letting offices.

    Ocean is an estate agent with a difference. To begin with, we're much more than just an estate agent. We offer a complete range of property-related services, covering everything from mortgages and surveys to land acquisition and lettings. But, above all, what sets us apart is something less tangible. Our attitude. With Ocean, it's all about you. We understand what your home means to you. And, across all our services, our incredibly hard-working and enthusiastic people will stop at nothing to do the best possible job on your behalf.

    Quite simply, we won't be happy unless you're happy.

    Having been at 177 Gloucester Road for over 15 years we acquired the prominent corner site at 201 Gloucester Road. The building was re designed and refurbished by a local architect with a contemporary theme including floor to ceiling glass facade. Our Bishopston branch also covers St Andrews, Horfield, Montpelier, St Werburghs, St Agnes & St Pauls. After 23 years in the area ensure you come to Ocean home for the expert advice & a wealth of local information.

5 steps to selling with Ocean
  • paragraph

    Step 1 - An accurate market appraisal

    How much is your home worth? It's vital to get an accurate valuation so the best possible price is achieved. And no one is better qualified than Ocean to provide precisely that - thanks to our unmatched knowledge of the local property market.

    Just contact any of our eight branches across Bristol, and leave the rest to our friendly and utterly professional team.

  • paragraph

    Step 2 - Marketing your home
    Naturally, we use all available means to make sure your home reaches the largest possible number of potential buyers - from local property publications, through the leading home sale websites, to national press.

    Once we've started marketing, our state-of-the-art technology goes to work matching suitable buyers to your home. But at Ocean we're great believers in the human touch, so we'll carefully register and check all applicants, to ensure that they are serious potential buyers who won't waste your time.
  • paragraph

    Step 3 - Viewings
    Taking care to match the right people to the right property makes it much more likely that a viewing will lead to a sale. So does the fact that our enthusiastic and incredibly hard working people know exactly how to show off your home to its best advantage,

    With Ocean, it really is all about you - and we'll stop at nothing to do the best possible job on your behalf.
  • paragraph

    Step 4 - Agreeing the sale
    When we receive an offer for your home, we'll liaise between you and the buyer until a price is agreed. This may include fixtures and fittings. And, at this point, we'll also be looking to agree a projected time-frame for exchange of contracts and completion of the sale.

    If you're buying a new place, we'll also contact the estate agent concerned to find out about the state of the chain.
  • paragraph

    Step 5 - Instructing solicitors
    At this stage, we'll need your solicitor's details. It's very important for you to supply these promptly,since the transaction can't start until both buyer's and seller's solicitors have been instructed.

    Naturally, we recommend our colleagues at Ocean Property Lawyers. We're used to working, closely together, which can speed up the conveyancing process dramatically. Please let us know if you'd like Ocean Property Lawyers to provide a quotation.

    Ocean Financial Services

    It's harder to find the right mortgage than ever before.

    While there is still a bewildering choice of products, it can be difficult to find the best arrangement for you. That's where Ocean comes in. Whether you're buying a new home, remortgaging or buying to let, we can help you find the right mortgage. We are completely independent, so we focus all our efforts on your needs, guiding you through the market to find the mortgage that best suits your requirements. We've helped thousands of customers find mortgages since 1990.

    And the sooner you talk to us, the better. Because, with your mortgage agreed in principle, you'll be in a much stronger position when you find a place you want to buy. And, once your move is on, you can rely on us to make sure there are no financial hold-ups. In fact, even if you have a mortgage in mind, why not ask us for an independent assessment. It could pay off.

    When you arrange a mortgage with our help, you get a dedicated administrator working on your behalf, as well as our financial advisor. We'll track your mortgage every step of the way, ensuring deadlines are met, hassling the building society and the lawyers, and even gently nudging you, to make sure everything goes according to plan. Many of our customers come to us for further advice about financial services. As independent financial advisors, we are fully qualified to help you make the right decisions about all of the following: life assurance and critical illness cover; income protection; payment protection insurance; building and contents insurance; pensions and investments.

    Ocean Surveyors

    Your new home is probably the biggest financial commitment you'll ever make. So when you find a place that looks and feels right, it's only common sense to check it out properly before you make the final decision to buy it.

    For all the reassurance you need, look no further than Ocean Surveyors. Depending on your budget and the type of property you're buying, we offer three kinds of survey, from a simple mortgage valuation, through to a more detailed home-buyer's report, to a full building survey. Our experienced team will be happy to advise on which service is right for you, before carrying out your survey quickly and efficiently - keeping you informed at all times. With us, it couldn't be simpler to ensure that your home-buying decision is based on firm foundations.

    We moved into the local rental market in 2004. And yes, it's been the same old story. By doing things the Ocean way - by being more friendly, more efficient and altogether more professional - we've earned a reputation that's simply second to none.

    Our aim at Ocean Letting and Management is, quite simply, to offer landlords a no-hassle service of the highest quality - starting from the first moment we meet, through to finding the right tenant and securing the best deal for you.

    We can tailor our services to your needs, too, doing as much or as little as you wish. (Though the vast majority of landlords use us to manage their properties, so all they have to do is enjoy the income generated.)

    To find out more about letting your property the Oceanway, get in touch with us today.

    image cannot be displayed

    Ocean are committed to your satisfaction and to continually improving the quality of service and expert advice that we provide to our customers.

    As part of this ongoing improvement programme, our employees are focused on service quality and as one of our valued customers we would also like to request your involvement.

    To better understand how Ocean can improve further and add greater value to you over time we have asked you to conduct a customer survey at the end of the service. Below are some of the comments we have recieved...  

Testimonials from Sellers

  • Seller Testimonial

    All staff I dealt with were friendly and relaxed
    I was pleased with Ocean from the outset. The valuation was about right for marketing, not over-inflated, nor under valued unlike some estate agents I contacted. Communication was excellent and the team worked well when we wanted to bring the sale to a head once we had three interested parties. The original sale fell through due to a problem further down the chain, but our same buyer held on and things handled well to bring the new chain through. All staff I dealt with were friendly and relaxed and very professional, and a pleasure to deal with. Will recommend Ocean Bishopston to friends.

  • Seller Testimonial

    hope you enjoy the chocolates.
    Thank you Chris, Claire, Andy, Jason, Luigi, Keeley and Kirsty !! We really appreciate your patience and good advice. We couldn't have done it without you !!! With grateful thanks , hope you enjoy the chocolates.
  • Seller Testimonial

    Great communication during negotiations
    Really pleased with marketing of property, lots of viewings, helped to get most for our property when buyer was found. Dealt with buyer really well - she was quite demanding, glad we didn't have to manage her! Great communication during negotiations throughout chain, positive attitude.

Testimonials from Buyers

  • Buyer Testimonial

    very knowledgeable and honest
    I was extremely happy with the level of service from Ocean. Andy was fantastic when showing us the property, very knowledgeable and honest. He also went out of his way so we could visit the property at short notice several times (even after we had put the offer in). Claire has been great with the admin, she has dealt with a very our difficult solicitors and kept the process moving. She always responded quickly to all our questions and was friendly and reassuring. Overall we were very happy with the service that Ocean provided and are confident that they worked in our best interest
  • Buyer Testimonial

    Claire dealt with all issues calmly
    I have no negative feedback at all. Our purchase was bumpy and fairly stressful but Claire dealt with all issues calmly and professionally and always responded quickly to questions or concerns.

  • Buyer Testimonial

    Andy was very proffesional and freindly
    I found Claire to be very helpful during the purchase of the property. Always very easy to contact by phone and also quick to reply by email. Most importantly I felt her morals of fair business trade were where they needed to be in a market that seems to be geared up to leave room for foul play. It felt very reassuring to be dealing with someone with those qualities even though my purchase of Logan road was by no means a smooth one. I can also say that Andy was very proffesional and freindly with the initial viewing and the early negotiations he was dealing with. Many thanks Claire and Andy!! Kind regards, George
