One particular senior member of staff was extremely rude and aggressive when we dealt with him regarding a potential sale. Previous offers we put forward were not passed on. We felt very pushed to make a decision and when we decided against the sale ( Due to very inconsistent and flaky information about the house) he became overtly aggressive and proceeded to be very rude and confrontational. We would NEVER recommend buying a property through Oliver James Oxford. They are dishonest about property details, attempted to cover up obvious issues with the property and was very pushy during the contact in order to hurry a sale through at an unreasonably high asking price. Almost immediately after we decided not to buy the property, it was then marketed for 35,000 less than it was originally priced at. Untrustworthy, dishonest and unprofessional. They clearly feel very confident and happy to treat customers with no consideration at all.

As a company we instructed 2 local agents to market a potentially tricky older style property close to the town centre. Oliver James quickly introduced a number of viewers and following a visit to their office which clearly demonstrated an excellent knowledge of both market conditions ...

David Wilkins and another male member of staff I spoke to on the phone were without doubt the rudest, most unprofessional estate agents I have ever had the displeasure of working with. My personal dispute with David had been 'discussed' in the office and I ...

It was not 2 years ago, it was in fact less than a year ago, all our photos were used, which is misleading to potential buyers, and it features our entire flat and its contents as it was. I simply stated prior permission to do this would have been courteous. ...

David Wilkins is the most unprofessional estate agent I have ever encountered. He is unreliable and outright rude. I feel sorry for anyone letting a property through this joke of a man/business. Additionally we found the property infested with rats, the garden overgrown, the ...

What agent could do to change your mind?
David Wilkins was extremely slow to complete basic procedures, took excessive time off work, and didn't get back to me on my lease offer for weeks. He has shouted at me over the phone, used stereotypes to describe me when talking to my housemate and was also extremely rude when he attended a house inspection at the property. This man should not have a job.

Jean Phillipe Pollonais did not pay his rent. He and his house mate were nuisance tenants and have been frequently reported by the neighbours to the authorities for their anti-social behaviour.They were smoking heavily in the house despite it being a non smoking tenancy. There have also been three visits made to the house by the police. After repeated warnings we moved to evict them. At this point one of the boy's fathers stepped in to improve and guarantee their behaviour. He also paid the outs ...

David Wilkins is, without doubt, the worst agent I have come across in my 60+ years. My daughter was thinking of selling the house she lives in, but it is owned by trusts and requires the trusts to agree any contract. He has been informed of ...

Quick enquiry regarding the property, received complete disinterest and general rudeness. Asked if the landlord would accept pets. Answer was I don't know, give me your number, will call back. Never called back. Another property my partner enquired about, entirely independently to my enquiry, met ...
