Alex is a very nice guy. He has been very professional but also approachable during our tenancy. From negotiating the contract, putting us in contact with the landlord, giving us notice about viewings, to arranging the checkout, Alex has been very helpful and always had good communication with us. It's also great chatting with him whenever we meet in person. If I'd come back to London and need a flat, I would definitely go to Alex again....

I recently moved from Canada and met Alex while looking for properties. Alex was a huge help with us moving in to our dream rental property. Great communication, response time and keeping us up to date with the process. Would definitely recommends Oliver Jaques but more specifically Alex. The process of moving countries was overwhelming and the thought of finding a nice flat/location was daunting. Alex made it simple. He is an honest and true salesperson. Highly recommend him to anyone!...

Alex and Stephen have been a massive help with sorting out our new tenancy for us, they have been very quick, easy and helpful for getting things sorted. I would definitely come here again and go with Oliver Jaques. They are always in constant contact, keeping us updated with the process, which makes it a lot less stressful on us so things are going smoothly. Fees are cheap and competitive for the agents around here....

Michael, Paul & Matteo were amazing! They held our hand through one failed sale and promptly found another buyer for our flat. They were always supportive and pragmatic and gave good, consistent, helpful advice. They were always available and managed the entire process from offer to completion, ensuring that both we and the vendor were constantly updated. Michael, through herculean effort, finally dragged everyone across the line to ensure we did not miss the agreed exchange date for our new...

On a recommendation from a neighbour I sold through them and found them straightforward, helpful, friendly, accessible and quick. They know the area, give good advice, found me a buyer very quickly and made sure the sale went through swiftly and without hitches. They also gave me good advice in the run up to the sale when I was considering whether to sell or rent my property and without any of the kind of pressures that some other agents put me under to go through them. A good reliable local es...

Mine was a particularly lengthy process, mostly due to circumstances beyond my control, but thankfully Jack and Dom were consistent with their help and advice throughout. As anyone buying or selling property will testify, it can be a shady game in terms of people delivering when they say they will. I lost count of the empty promises along the way. Not the case with these guys though. Always available and completely reliable. Kept me sane. Dan Crossley...

Very friendly and professionals. We have sold and bought through them and the experience has been very very good. We tried once to save the money by going to an online service and gout our hands burned, Oliver jaques helped us out and sorted the mess out with no fuss and going well beyond their responsibilities. After the purchase, they have not been shy of giving advice and support....

We recently bought a property through Oliver Jaques, and we have never been more impressed with an agency. Matteo was particularly dedicated to the cause, and helped us secure our dream home quickly and efficiently. Especially when compared to the agent we used to sell our old property, they are light years ahead. Michael was on top of the ball during the conveyancy process and knew what to do at each step, keeping the vendor informed and relaying feedback to us. We couldn't have found a better ...

We recently sold our property through Oliver Jaques and were extremely impressed with the service they provided us. Our agent Paul Gibbens was professional, straight talking and realistic in his advice to us and he always tried to go over and above to assist us where possible. Having had a bad experience with other agents in the past, we were pleasantly surprised at the job done by Oliver Jaques in comparison to perhaps more well known competitors in the market....

I bought and sold in Dec 2016 using Oliver Jaques and I was very impressed with the professionalism, speed, pro activeness to progress negotiations and resolve prospective sticking points in a very honest, transparent and pragmatic way. We agreed prices for both sale and purchase mid/end September and completed mid December. Overall, I was very pleased with the service and appreciated the support but also the friendly and accommodating approach that Michael, Paul and the team provided to allow...

Oliver Jaques are outstanding. I discovered them years ago thanks to another satisifed client after I'd rented unhappily through larger, nationwide agents. There's such a difference! At OJ you're supported by a small team who are very skilled in pricing, marketing and management in the quarters where they work. They're a small and stable enough team to be friendly, flexible and work together and they've got a fine eye for details. I won't pick names as everyone - Kirsten, Stephen, Michael, Gina,...

Excellent service from Michael and Paul. We started with an online agent and they were rubbish. Once Paul (and his colleague Andrew) from OJ took over we had 8 potential buyers in the flat within three days and an offer exceeding the asking price shortly after. But even more importantly, Michael expertly shepherded us and all other chain links through the long-winded conveyancing process and kept the whole transaction on track, even when things got dicey at the end. I recommend them without hesi...

Kirsten has been amazing over the course of the many years that she has been handling the management of the flat, the process has been entirely professional and correspondence has always been promptly attended to. As an absentee landlord it is very reassuring to know that if anything requires attending to, then Kirsten is there to pick up the phone or to direct me to one of her colleagues. The tenant sourcing has been of extraordinarily high quality. I have nothing but praise for Kirsten and OJ....

I have lived in BQ for years and rented 4 different flats in the development until recently purchasing one myself. Leona, Jack and Dom have been great over the years, always extremely helpful and responsive. However, Jack was particularly impressive when dealing with my recent purchase. Unfortunately the solicitors for both parties were less than adequate and without Jack's intervention, completion would not have occurred. Jack realised that the solicitors were not pro-active and he then interve...
