Also the property I rented from them, is amazing and better than any other houses I have seen since I started doing the research, and at a very good price. I recommend Oakland Estates 100%

Throughout our 5-year stay in the flat managed by Oakland Estates. Our property manager Ricky Sethi's remarkable professionalism and responsiveness have truly set the standard.

I also want to express my special thanks to Alfie, whose transparent and honest communication added an extra layer of trust to our interactions with Oakland Estates. Having the assurance that we could rely on Alfie for clear and open communication significantly contributed to our overall satisfaction.
In conclusion, our long-term stay in the flat managed by Ricky Sethi and Oakland Estates has been notably enjoyable and stress-free, all thanks to Ricky's unwavering dedication and Alfie's commitment to transparency. I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone in search of a reliable and competent letting agency.

After some previous not-so-great experiences dealing with agencies, this time around with the support of Alfie at Oakland, finding and renting our new property was a breeze. He was always responsive, with reassuring answers to all our questions. The leasing process was made transparent, quick and easy. I'm grateful for his continued support.

I have used Oakland Estates as a letting agent for my property for over 7 years and I have found them (Ricky and Jay) to be excellent. They respond quickly to my email requests - usually related to maintenance. Everything works like clockwork. I highly recommend them.

Got in touch with Oaklands in regards to viewing a rental property. Alfie Roslen was dealing with me throughout, from the initial phonecall he provided excellent customer service which was second to none; he was always prompt in responding to our queries and kept us up to date at each stage making this process super smooth and stress free. If the property had not gone through I would still be here writing this review for his outstanding service. A true asset to Oakland. Thankyou!

My family and I been with this estate agency since 2018 (5 years now), and they've always responded quick if there was anything wrong or something needed to be done in the property. Most of the time we usually fix it ourselves, minor things. But in case of emergencies (occasionally) they will send someone down asap to fix it. Always quick to respond to my emails, and in general just very reliable people. Also, very convenient way of extending contract. Don't have to turn up at their office, it's all done online with digital signatures. I would definitely recommend.

We decided to go with Oakland Estate in Ilford when we were looking at a property and found Alfie Rosen super helpful. He has been outstanding from the stand and has made every step to be helpful and supportive. I really could not recommend him enough as I don't think the renting of property would of been this easy without him.

We have just completed the sale of our property through Oakland Estates in Ilford. We were delighted with their service from the first time Jay came to value the house up to the completion date. Jay was always there for us whenever we needed him and he navigated us smoothly throughout the process. He solved all our problems with speedy texts and emails. We would recommend Oakland as a first class, professional estate agent. With many thanks. AL

My Fiance and I recently used the services of Oakland Estates to rent a Studio Flat, and I would highly recommend them. Their Customer Service throughout was excellent, and we found the whole process, from start to finish, very easy, with all communications from them clearly explained. Two special mentions, to Alfie as he was very friendly and professional at answering all my questions, and to Jay who went out of his way to rectify the small issues we had, and ensuring everything was to our satisfaction in our new home. Thanks again for a great service, Emily and Dan

I deal with both Hilly and Jay @ Oakland. I've used this company since they took over from Smiths. I was a bit apprehensive about the change of agents but I have to say they have been better than expected. Hilly is proactive, responsive and efficient at getting things done. Both her and Jay have acted as the intermediary between me and the tenant and been prompt to find resolution to issues. So far, so good. Keep up the good work!
