Oakwood Property Services

What Oakwood Property Services does

Oakwood Property Services (legal entity: Oakwood Valuation Surveyors Ltd) is a RICS-regulated chartered surveying and property management firm headquartered in Altrincham, Cheshire, operating across the North West of England and North Wales. Founded in 2019 by Graham Bowcock MRICS, the firm employs approximately 11 people and delivers six core service lines: Property Sales, Property Management, Valuations, Land Promotion & Option Agreements, Expert Witness, and Landlord Consultancy, alongside sub-products including a fixed-fee £300 Landlord Review, Probate Property Services, Tenant Referencing, and Inheritance Tax Valuations. The firm serves private landlords, property investors, rural and agricultural landowners, estate executors, and commercial property clients.

The business model combines four revenue streams: recurring property management fees, professional services fees for valuations, transaction commissions on sales and lettings, and fixed-fee compliance reviews. Distribution is sales-led and office-based, with properties listed on Rightmove and marketing concentrated on the firm's website, blog, and social channels. The firm holds RICS regulation (829603), ICO data protection registration (ZA519835), and HMRC AML registration, and conducts valuations under RICS Red Book standards.

There is no proprietary technology stack, no AI/ML capabilities, no external funding, and no disclosed acquisitions. Strategic emphasis in 2026 is on landlord compliance adjacent to the Renters' Rights Act, positioning the firm to capture regulatory-driven demand from residential and rural landlords across its regional footprint.
