Written by the company

Ocean Estate Agents have been selling Bristol and North Somerset homes of all shapes and sizes – large and small, grand ¬and modest, smart and not so smart… for all kinds of people since 1984. Founder Paul Harris started the business over 40 years ago with Ocean Bishopston on Gloucester Road, and there are now 12 local offices across the city including one in Portishead and Weston super Mare. Their ethos is very much ‘people before property’, with the emphasis on looking after the individuals and families buying or selling their homes, to make what is often a challenging experience, as worry-free as possible. Ocean’s teams, reflect the culturally rich communities of this wonderful city, spanning a diverse mix of ages and backgrounds from across Bristol. It is also very much a family business. Many of the team have grown up and started their own families whilst working for Ocean – they even have some second generation ‘Oceaners’ now working for the company.

Professional and Focused

I recently sold a property through Ocean Estate Agents in Bristol (Clifton). I couldn’t be happier with the service from start to finish. The team managed every aspect of the sale, arranging and conducting viewings to keeping me regularly updated throughout the process.

A special mention goes to James Hogg (Move Manager), who was instrumental in keeping everything moving forward - he maintained regular communication with both myself and the buyer, ensuring that issues were swiftly resolved and that the sale moved forward smoothly.

I also appreciated Ocean’s focus on security and professionalism, especially their diligence in verifying details such as bank information before completion.

I felt their fees were competitive, and the overall service, from viewing feedback to final exchange, commendable

I’d highly recommend Ocean Clifton to anyone looking for a reliable, proactive, and professional estate agent in Bristol.

Sale completed!

Ocean provided a team to manage the whole process. There were problems ( beyond their control) which they helped navigate and solve. We were kept up to date through out. We completed the sale despite the tricky market conditions.

Reply from Ocean Estate Agents - Clifton Sales

We’re sorry and surprised to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations, our aim is always to be as helpful and transparent as possible.

In this instance, our colleague was simply working to ensure that you were in the strongest position should you wish to make an offer on a property.

Because your funds are held overseas, UK regulations require additional anti‑money‑laundering checks, and not all solicitors are able to process these.

To assist you, we recommended firms experienced in handling this type of verification, with the intention of making the process smoother for you - not more difficult.

Our advice regarding proof of funds was given to help avoid delays later in the buying process and to ensure any future offer could be taken seriously by a seller. This is standard practice for all cash buyers, regardless of where their funds are held.

We are unsure why this guidance came across differently than intended, as it was offered to support you, not hinder your enquiry. If you would like to discuss this further we would be more than happy to help.

Best real estate agent in Clifton/Bristol.
They have managed my property thirteen years when I rented my flat out also as my selling agent. I highly recommend their services for both situations.

Great experience!

Right from the start all the team at Ocean were professional, keeping me updated on the status of my sale and all the moving parts on track. Special thanks to Ollie, Andrew and James for a first class service.

I would choose them again

Ocean were great with the sale of my flat on Cumberland Road. They quickly found a purchaser and kept me up to date on the sale's progress. Nothing was too much trouble, and their advice and professionalism were impressive. I would defo use them for another sale, I have also used Ocean for years as a letting agency and find them great with that too. That's the main reason I decided to run with them for this sale.

Thanks so much to the Ocean Team!

Thanks so much to the Ocean team for getting our flat sold in a tough market. It was a challenging time to sell, but the team did a superb job of guiding us through the process and getting us a great result in the end. Thanks Ocean! Would highly recommend!

Excellent service

Excellent service and clear communication every step of the way. I highly recommend Ocean Estate Agents! James Hogg was especially helpful, he is very professional and on top of things. In particular, when the conveyancing process ran into difficulties, James quickly found a solution and remained responsive and supportive throughout, even after the handover.

Had a great experience with Ocean Clifton — Nicolle was brilliant throughout. She showed me the flat and, knowing I’d had issues with a previous property sale, she double-checked the lease for me and the areas of concern. Really appreciated how understanding she was. Made the whole thing feel much less stressful. Thanks Nicolle!

Andrew Beaser was very helpful with our complex & stressful sale, although sometimes had a bit of a wait to speak to him. Mario & Oliver seemed to be up to date with progress as well. The legal team were very tenacious with keeping the pressure on the buyer & managing agents. Considering there was no chain, just a shame the whole process took 6 months.
