"Their knowledge and hard work is so evident"
Their advice with this was invaluable from the practical elements to the aesthetics. Literally an hour after the property renovation was completed Oakheart had a tenant for us. We were so impressed with how hard and invested the lettings team worked to achieve this with such short notice and so smoothly too. Happy tenant = Happy Landlord.
