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.

The whole conveyancing team at Ocean were very efficient and I would definitely recommend them. A big thank you to both Gemma and Alex who were very professional throughout the whole process and answered all my questions promptly and were great at keeping me up to date at each stage of the sale. Gemma went above and beyond with her attention to detail and was always very helpful whenever I had a query. Positive experience and an easier process keeping everything within the same company.

Awesome experience with Oceans

As first-time buyers, we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

A special thanks to Gemma and her team who did an absolutely incredible job from start to finish, guiding us through every step with clarity, patience, and reassurance.

We were kept informed at every stage of the process, and no question ever felt too small — every query was answered promptly and thoroughly.

Their approachability, professionalism, and genuine support gave us complete confidence throughout and made what could have been a very stressful experience feel smooth and manageable.

We are extremely grateful to the team for their dedication and would highly recommend their services.

Excellent service

Excellent service. I would not hesitate to recommend Ocean. I use them for renting a house and I have just used them for selling and conveyancing. They have been first class. Communication has been first class, always available. I have been kept informed throughout the process. They were extremely supportive and helpful, giving excellent advice.
Ocean are very professional and efficient.
I have always found they advise then allow me to make my own decision without any pressure.
Highly recommended.

Great Lettings team

We are really happy with the service provided by Ocean, especially James Heywood and Jemima Kivell in the Lettings team. They are efficient and helpful and have found great tenants for a number of flats. We will continue to use them.

Excellent letting and management service

We've been using Ocean's full letting and management service on 3 rental properties for some time now, and receive a consistently high level of service from James and Jemima at Downend. Always efficient, friendly and totally reliable. Highly recommend.

From start to finish Gemma Gill and the team at Ocean Property Lawyers in the Downend Office went above and beyond in making my house purchase as easy and stress free as possible.
Gemma especially kept me up to date on all aspects of the buying process and making sure everything went smoothly.
I would definitely recommend Gemma and the team to anybody purchasing or selling a property.
Thank you for all your help.

Excellent service from Ocean!

We are so glad we chose Ocean Estate Agency in Downend – they’ve been absolutely fantastic throughout our moving journey. After our initial sale sadly fell through, we decided to change solicitors and use Ocean's conveyancing service instead – and we’re so happy we made that switch.

The staff at Ocean were incredibly supportive, proactive, and detailed from the very beginning. They really took the time to understand our situation and made sure we felt confident and well-informed at every step.

Communication was excellent – we were always kept in the loop, and any questions we had were answered quickly and clearly. Their conveyancing team made the legal side of the move feel smooth and stress-free, which made a huge difference.

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better team. We’d highly recommend Ocean Downend to anyone – they turned a difficult start into a really positive experience!

The team at Ocean were incredible with the sale of our house and mortgage advice for the onward sale. We were kept informed at each stage of the process and checked in with us regularly. A more attractive interest rate became available and we were switched over quickly without any issues which was really appreciated. The marketing for the house was very professional also and helped with a quick sale. Tracey, Simon, Stacey, Jess, Elizabeth, Lisa and Lawrence all were fantastic! Thank you for your help in making this an easy move.
