Positive experience

Bill was really great when he came over to take our photos - he was very respectful of being in someone else's home, and checked our preferences on a number of things. He was friendly and professional, we'd definitely recommend.

I had the pleasure of being served by estate agent Tate for several house viewings. We viewed several properties with other estate agents from other firms as well but we found Tate to be the most knowledgeable, enthusiastic and helpful with every viewing. He is an asset to the company and we look forward to having the pleasure to work with him again.

Oakman's Bill, the photographer,is extremely professional, efficient and approachable

As title, Bill who took the photographs for our property that will be up for sale soon, is extremely professional, efficient and approachable.

A few key points highlights:

1) He arrives on-time as scheduled

2) His helpful and straightforward advice in coordinating the house's internal conditions for a smooth photography session completed in under 30 minutes which is extremely efficient

3) His professionalism and expert use of photography equipments, along with illustrations of some initial shots, gives myself, as a landlord, great confidence in having some top visuals on property sites afterwards

4) He has always been friendly, well-mannered and approachable throughout while also presenting himself very professionally as well, which reflects very well onto and very in line Oakmans' own great reputation.

Thank you so much to Bill for his valuable time and great effort again!

To whom it may concern,

To whom it may concern,

I was in the process of purchasing a property through Oakman, which was being managed by Oakman and marketed as an investor property. However, it later became clear that the property was being rented unlawfully, with one room let illegally and without compliance with local council guidelines.

This experience has made it clear to me that landlords should not assume Oakman will carry out proper due diligence on their behalf. Based on my experience, their primary focus appears to be on generating income rather than ensuring legal compliance.

I recently received a promotional property management leaflet from Oakman referring to the upcoming Rental Reform Bill. Given my experience, I felt compelled to share this warning with other landlords.

Please think carefully before relying on Oakman’s management services.
You have been warned.

The team at Oakmans have been Brilliant

The team at Oakmans have been brilliant. From first survey, writing the sales material and then the support to the full process the team supported and advised us. Without Alex (Sales) and Sue (chasing progress) in particular I don’t think we would have survived the process!

I do highly recommend Oakmans Estate Agents.

Lisa mortgage broker !

“I’ve first met Lisa mid this year with me wanting to be a landlord. Ever since the first initial meet she has been nothing but supportive, and most importantly very precise and accurate with every information she gives. With working with Lisa all you genuinely have to do is sit back provide her the info she needs and let her do her magic. In addition it’s also the fact she’s always active on her phone and email keeping full communication with you through the process which is a really good piece of mind as her reply time is minutes!

Hand down I know who’ll be doing my remortgages, future new applications. Her contact had to be sent to the whole family who’s interests in buying as she’s 10/10

First time buyers - Excellent service


As a first-time buyer, the whole process felt daunting at first, but Lisa was fantastic from start to finish. Everything was explained clearly, with time taken to answer all questions, and the approach was consistently calm and reassuring, making the experience straightforward and stress-free.

Lisa was professional, knowledgeable, and always quick to respond, which gave real confidence at every stage. Support throughout was excellent, and the service provided was outstanding. Highly recommended for any first-time buyer. Thanks to Lisa and Hannah we're getting settled into our new home just in time for Christmas

I can’t recommend Lisa highly enough as…

I can’t recommend Lisa highly enough as a mortgage advisor. From the very beginning, she took the time to fully understand my situation and explained everything clearly and honestly. Not only did she secure a great mortgage deal for me, but her protection advice was just as thorough and reassuring, making sure I was properly covered and giving me real peace of mind.

What really set Lisa apart was how she helped me when another adviser had told me I wouldn’t be able to get a mortgage unless I was prepared to pay a very high interest rate. Lisa quickly showed that this simply wasn’t the case. She looked after everything with care and expertise and found a solution that worked far better than I had been led to believe was possible.

Throughout the process, Lisa was supportive, professional, and always available to answer questions. I genuinely felt she had my best interests at heart, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for both excellent mortgage advice and comprehensive protection guidance.
