About Oakfield, Lewes

64 High Street, Lewes, BN7 1XG

Oakfield Estate Agents is an independent company, and property has been our speciality since 1996.

Our wealth of experience brings with it a guarantee of in-depth local knowledge as well as an astute understanding of the housing market, and the benefits of property as an investment.

Oakfield is driving the market forward in residential lettings, property sales and block management, with branches throughout the South East of England and Kent.

Our customer base is primarily centred around those looking to rent or buy our clients' properties and our successful track record and strong reputation means that we are often the first company that customers will turn to. With Oakfield's customer service supported by the very latest technology we remain one of the leading, modern, independent agents in the South East.

Our superb team in Lewes has vast knowledge of lettings and sales, with decades of combined local industry experience. So whether you're renting, letting out, buying or selling, we're ideally placed to help.

Professional yet friendly, our staff's huge expertise makes us much more than just another estate agent.

Excellent advice is underpinned by a deep knowledge of the industry in general, and this part of the world specifically. Our deep-seated local knowledge is partly down to our own love of our neck of the woods; we've all lived and worked in Lewes and around for years. And it's a running gag that we've been into most properties in the area at one time or another over the years.

The welcome is as warm as it is genuine - you'll notice the great atmosphere the second you walk through the door.

We're all about forging long-term relationships with everyone we work with, tailoring our services to suit individual requirements and doing more than perhaps the competition would to be there at every stage with our support, whatever you need us for.
