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.

I really had very good experiences
I really had very good experiences. Although my process was very slow and delayed due to sellers. But Estate agents really helped and supported me through out process. Definitely would recommend. Amazing service very professional.
Great service
Excellent Service
We instructed Ocean Estate Agents to sell our property. From the offset their communication was regular, very responsive to any queries we had and gave us weekly progress updates via a dashboard. No request was too much trouble ie help with redirecting of post, and final meter readings etc. The arrangements for viewings were in full consultation with us, recognising there was lots going on. We had numerous viewings and the house was sold within two weeks. The experience for us could not of been any better and we would highly recommend Ocean Estate Agents. We also used Ocean’s solicitors and the experience was of the same high quality. Thank you to all the Staff.

Our buying experience was good because of the very efficient Move Manager at Portishead branch, the actual agent who showed us the property was mediocre.

Thank you Claire!
Claire was fantastic when showing us around, she was able to answer any questions but also gave us time/space to look around the house in our own time. Thank you for your help!

Great service
We've used Ocean to find our tenants for several years now and they've always done an excellent job. Alun and the team are very professional and personable to work with. They always find good-quality tenants, take care of all the paperwork and are extremely helpful when it comes to organising safety certificates, etc. They offer great customer service and I won't hesitate to use them again in future.
Great service from the team throughout…
Great service from the team throughout my tenancy. Communication was always prompt and professional, and any issues were dealt with efficiently. Thank you for your support and assistance during my time in the property.
Claire Kington at Ocean Southville
I cannot recommend Claire Kington highly enough.
Over the past few months, Claire has shown me a wide range of properties and took the time to really understand both my personal circumstances and exactly what I was looking for. She listened carefully, was honest throughout the process, and quickly developed a sense of what would and would not work for me. In fact, she often knew before I did whether a property was likely to be the right fit!
Buying a home can be overwhelming, especially when balancing family considerations, but Claire's guidance, patience and expertise made all the difference. She never pushed a property that wasn't right and was always open and transparent in her advice.
Thanks to Claire, I have now found the perfect home for myself and my young children, and I genuinely couldn't be more grateful. If you're looking for someone who will listen, understand your needs and work tirelessly to find the right property, Claire is the person you want on your side.
Tell her what you're looking for, be honest about your circumstances, and she'll absolutely nail it.
Thank you, Claire. You've made a huge difference to our next chapter. Jo :)
Easy and clear communication
We worked with Ashleigh for our first home. Her and the rest of the team were amazing. Great with communication, quick responses and extremely friendly throughout!
First Class Service
James and Jemima at my branch of Ocean provided me with a first class service. Communications were swift and clear throughout the process of letting a property. After putting it on the market, we had a large number of good quality applicants. It was difficult to choose. The advice and support has been excellent. They continue to manage aspects of the letting and I'm very happy with our arrangement.
They did my process really quickly.
