Best estate agents ever.

Best estate agents ever. The Northfield team go above and beyond every step of the journey. Laura the manager and Lesley became like family, their help and support through the whole process was more than I could have ever asked for or I ever expected. Went above and beyond fitting in viewings, and even when sold made everything so much more easier. Your in safe hands with this amazing estate agents 100% recommend

Avoid - Refusal to issue VAT invoices and unprofessional management

I have had a truly appalling experience with Oakmans Estate Agents (Northfield). Dealing with them has been a nightmare of unprofessionalism and administrative incompetence.

The main issues are:

Compliance Failure: Despite multiple requests, the agency has refused/delayed providing a formal VAT invoice for an AML/ID check fee already paid. This document is legally required for my HMRC records and Home Buyer Insurance claim.

Arrogant Management: When I escalated the matter to the Area Manager (Sam Checketts), instead of resolving a simple administrative task, he was dismissive and challenged me to take the matter to The Property Ombudsman (TPO), claiming they are "used to" such complaints. This "couldn't care less" attitude toward clients is shocking.

Delay Tactics: They attempted to blame a staff member's holiday for the delay in issuing a mandatory tax document, despite management having the authority to resolve it.

If you value professional service, transparency, and legal compliance, I strongly suggest you look elsewhere. A company that boasts about being "used to TPO complaints" is clearly one to avoid.

Positive start

Charlee and Tom came to view our flat on Thursday 5th Feb. They listened to our concerns, offered great advice and left us feeling very hopeful. We appreciated the knowledge and research they came with before meeting us. Showed us they really care and understand our concerns. We are confident the sale of our flat is in very capable hands. Thank you.
