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.

A fantastic team - Claire, Jenny and Emma

I’ve had an excellent experience with Claire, Jenny and Emma throughout my house purchase. They have been consistently accommodating, highly responsive, and genuinely lovely to deal with. I would very highly recommend this team to anyone going through a property purchase.

Efficient and friendly service

Efficient and friendly service. Big thanks to Jenny, after sales liaison and to Ashleigh, property lawyers for all their hard work and keeping us informed throughout the journey. Also using the in-house property lawyers made the transaction process easier.

Professional and friendly service

I have been very impressed with the professionalism of the staff at Ocean, especially Claire Kington. Claire has helped guide me through the process in a friendly and approachable manner and has clearly demonstrated her experience in the property market. I am very satisfied with the advice given and would not hesitate to recommend using Ocean and Claire if you are selling a property.
I would also like to thank Laura Savage for her assistance in getting the sale through.

North St Ocean Team are great

Tom, Claire and Jenny did a wonderful job helping my husband and I to sell our house. They were very helpful, reassuring, professional, and worked with my son who represented us very well. We are very grateful and recommend the North St Ocean team.

A very positive experience

Claire came to provide a valuation. She was very thorough, spending time in every room. She also showed examples of properties that she feels my house is in a similar bracket to in terms of market value. She clearly has a sound knowledge of the area and of trends in the current market. She has a highly professional - but also friendly- manner.
She followed up very promptly with written feedback and information re. "next steps".
Claire is someone that I feel I could work well with throughout the sales process.

When having different agents round to…

When having different agents round to value our home Claire really stood out aaginst the others as honest helpful and caring and really seemed to understand our personal situation but also what we love about the property to help sell these features to buyers. She knows the market well and not only have we listed our home with her she is really helping with our onward search too.

Ocean communication 100% brilliant

Had my house for sale originally with another local agent. Communication was zero. After 6 months changed to Ocean Estate Agents and have to say the difference was chalk and cheese. Ocean were amazing. From start right up un til the end I was kept informed of viewings, help with the sale and support. Cannot fault them in any way.

As a first-time buyer

As a first-time buyer, I found the viewing experience really positive thanks to Claire. She was lovely, friendly, and made me feel at ease straight away. She answered all my questions clearly and never made me feel rushed or pressured. I’d definitely recommend her to other first-time buyers.

Prompt and Efficient

Great service received so far in getting my property on the market. Claire Kington has been incredibly efficient from initial valuation to getting my property on the market and my first viewing! She is very knowledgeable and promptly responds to my messages. Thank you Claire.

Great Experience!

It’s been an absolute wonderful experience going through the process of renting with Jasmin. As this is the first time both my partner and I have rented, we naturally had a lot of questions, but Jasmin has been incredibly helpful and informative every step of the way. She made everything feel clear and manageable, which really put us at ease.

The whole process has been very straightforward and easy, thanks to her support and professionalism. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience for our first time renting, and we truly appreciate all the guidance she’s provided.
