I wouldn't bother listing with these people - as a cash buyer I had a terrible experience trying to view a property. Sent multiple enquiries to make viewings on Rightmove, no one bothered to reply. Then I called up, got put on hold and eventually ...

I moved from another Clifton agent to Ocean. The previous agents had suggested two unsuitable tenants; one with obviously fake references, the other not suitable for the flat. Then nothing for a month. In frustration I switched to Ocean. Manager Alun was very positive and ...

I don't even know which branch we are dealing with. After 18 months we've had about six different reps as people in the office seem to mysteriously disappear and suddenly any issues or complaints you've made get 'forgotten' about.
They will fob you off until you ...

What agent could do to change your mind?
Agent fees of 500 pounds. I do not know what they did to earn it since they are incompetent.

When you give your money to someone for a service you expect to be treated fairly.

What agent could do to change your mind?
Improvements:
- Turning up to viewings.
- Canceling as soon as they think access to the property will be a problem (24 hour notice would be perfect or at least the evening before).
- Returning phone calls.

The amount of property check is ridiculous. They came to check the property 5 times in a year, which is quite disturbing.
They're okay all along, however they totally loose respect to the current tenants in the last 2 months of the tenancy. They call to arrange ...

Ocean Homes need a customer services department. Due to the short sightedness of the Directors, Ocean lost the following business: Sale of property, Conveyancing and Mortgage fees.
