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've recently become a tenant via Ocean Clifton. Charlotte Payne guided me expertly from my initial enquiry, through to my offer being accepted by the landlord. She was kind, knowledgeable and non-judgmental. Highly recommend.
Our first experience at selling houses
Our first experience at selling houses, as an older couple not up to speed online. We were helped all the way
A very satisfactory experience
I have moved home several times before, but it has never gone as smoothly and quickly as this time using Ocean Estate Agents in Shirehampton. Once I agreed to sell my property with them it was like a well-oiled machine springing into life. Communication was frequent and helpful, all my questions were answered promptly, and I really felt like they were all working flat out to achieve the best sale for me.
Following an offer being accepted, they appointed a Move Manager in their team who kept in touch with and chased all parties to keep the process moving. Exchange happened within weeks and completion soon followed - a testament to the efforts of the whole Ocean team.
I would thoroughly recommend Ocean when it comes to buying and selling your property.

Had a valuation from Claire Kington on my property in order to get things ready to go on the Market. Very friendly approach whilst offering direct and honest opinion which provided me the confidence to proceed with moving forward and selling my property with Ocean.
Claire listened to where my thoughts were and took those on board
following up the initial valuation by booking the photographer and quote for legal services which has greatly been appreciated.
Looking for things to move quickly and smoothly which all the above reassures me with moving forward
Would recommend
Charlie has been extremely accommodating and attentive for any requests, and the whole process has been very smooth to secure the property. Kyra was very nice during the show around and would definitely recommend Ocean Estate for properties.
Friendly and professional
Overall, a great experience.
The renting process was pretty straightforward and the guys in the office were friendly and very helpful.
We had our initial viewing with Kyra, who was again, friendly and professional.
Great job guys. Thank you
First Time Buyer Experience
My partner and I bought our first home and cane to Ocean from a family recommendation. Everything was new to us and the support we received was amazing, they are happy to help with any questions we had. Karen Lassauzet was especially attentive and kind to us both in communication and making sure everything was completed to its full potential. I cannot provide a 5* review as everyone has room to improve and we did feel the process took longer than expected, this may not be in fault of Ocean themselves. However, I would highly recommend Ocean altogether, the portal is a great tool to review your progress as well!
Fantastic team at Ocean Knowle
Fantastic team at Ocean Knowle, recently supported me with a purchase. Their move team are exceptional, keeping all parties updated and engaged throughout the process. If I had been the seller (their client) I’d have paid them double for all their hard work!
When purchasing the property I used Ocean Lawyers who are affiliated. They too were fantastic and as I’d hoped, have a good relationship with the estate agents which meant they were always fully informed!
Fab service
Great service both in the pre sale and post sale processes. Lovely people who will always try and help move things along! Thank you

Claire was great at helping us secure off market viewings quickly when she needed to. Thanks!
Ocean Portishead
We've been working with Charlie from the lettings team who has been very communicative and extremely proactive in securing a let for the property at short notice. Very pleased with the outcome and happy to recommend to others.
An excellent experience
Claire communicated that she would arrive slightly late, ahead of time. She arrived with all of the information needed and was able to answer any questions that I had. She had clearly done her research and knew the location and property well and followed up. Claire understands what people are looking for, this was my second viewing with her and I really appreciate her honesty

Claire did a valuation for us and came within a week and did her research before so was able to provide the valuation on the day. Claire also sold us the house 5 years ago so she knew the history and what it used to look like.
So far really great service

Fantastic experience with Sophie
We had a great experience working with Sophie from the Southville branch!
She was incredibly quick to respond to our long list of questions, which made the whole process feel smooth and stress-free.
Everything was handled in a very organised way, and her communication and correspondence were consistently clear and professional throughout.
It really made a difference having someone so attentive and efficient guiding us along the way.
Friendly, approachable, helpful.
Debbie and the team at the Bishopston branch were stars, managing to balance the needs of buyer and seller, giving frequent updates, and being really approachable and friendly during my 874 visits in what felt like an endless process (not their fault).
Nice one - thank you...!
Responsive and helpful!
Sophie in the Southville office is very responsive and helpful! She’s made our rental process straightforward.
Claire was fab ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Claire was fab, she knew everything about the property we are buying. She made the whole process really easy.

Financial verification of our buyer was not carried out, which caused Exchange and Contract Completion delays.
Charlie - Portishead
Having been a landlord for many years, I’ve always trusted Charlie in Portishead completely, and I genuinely wouldn’t go anywhere else. He consistently goes above and beyond in every aspect of his work. I’ve always appreciated how he keeps in regular contact, checking in with me as I’m often looking to purchase new properties, and he’s helped me every single time with honest, reliable advice.
I also know he has recently become manager, and honestly, he couldn’t deserve it more. The level of service he provides and the time and effort he puts into his clients really sets him apart. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.
