Genuinely the best estate agents I have ever interacted with. I was a FTB so my experience is limited but I found them to be honest, knowledgeable, responsive, friendly.

We can hardly give higher praise for Jessica and Amelies Estate Agents. We recently bought a house though them, and all steps of the process were managed as smoothly and positively as possible. We asked to see the property a number of times, and Jessica quickly and helpfully obliged us. She also responded quickly to any questions or points of information we raised, and acted as a speedy and supportive link with the sellers. Prior to purchase, we also needed an electrician to conduct a certification: Jessica arranged everything including a quote for potential future work. We would certainly engage

We've now been letting our property with Amelie's for a year and I'm writing a second review to comment on how easy their excellent customer service, top quality tradespeople, and prompt and responsive communications have made our life. They make the whole experience easy and pleasant. They have our tenants' welfare at heart as well as our interests, which is really important to us. Our highest recommendation for this excellent service.

We would choose Amelie's every time if you're thinking of selling your house. Jessica was unlike any other estate agent we've met - honest, helpful, responsive to questions/emails/phonecalls and extremely professional. Absolutely no 'hard sell' in sight! She successfully found a buyer for our old house in just 3 weeks which has now enabled us to secure our dream home (a new build which was the last one available and would not have been possible if the sale of our old house had been slow). We couldn't have asked for a better, high quality service and would highly recommend to family, friends and

We engaged Amelies to work with us on the sale side, and their service can only be described as faultless. Outstanding communication, backed by immense experience within the property market. What makes them exceptional is they deliver on promises, they are honest, transparent and very empathetic during what can often be a stressful time for many people. You will not find a better agent.

We had a great experience renting with Amelies. Unlike most estate agents, we felt we could trust them and they proved time and again that this was the case. They were quick to fix things, quick to respond to emails, and all their tradespeople were pleasant to deal with. We particularly like Daniel, who made the whole Amelies experience stress-free. We recommend Amelies highly.

I chose this Agency because they are local to Oxford and independent of the larger high street agents. Jessica was professional and courteous at all times. She was also compassionate and approachable throughout the process of selling my late sisters home. I would recommend this agency and would definitely use their services again.
