Giving back to the community

As a business with a long history in Stoke Newington – we’ve occupied the same shop since our establishment over 30 years ago – we are keen to support and champion our local community.

“We are so grateful for the support Oakwood has shown our primary school over the years. Their generous contributions to our school fairs have made a real difference, helping us create memorable events for our students, families, and the wider community. It’s wonderful to see a local business that truly values and invests in the success of our children and school. Thank you Jay and team for always being there for us!”

Minimising our carbon footprint

We find ways to be environmentally sustainable and minimise our carbon footprint through direct action. Whenever possible we walk or use e-scooters to attend appointments. All of our company cars are electric and the office uses a 100% renewable energy provider. We are moving towards being paperless with digital contracts and online property details. In addition to these efforts we have also employed carbon offsetting through Ecologi since May 2022 with 95 tonnes CO2e avoided and 144 trees planted each year.

My first job in estate agency was here at Oakwood, starting as 'Junior Negotiator' back in 2002. After spreading my wings to start my own agency, I've come full circle, returning in 2019 as co-owner and Managing Director. Its great to be back in Stokey, working alongside a great team with shared drive and values.
