We recently used Scott Fraser to sell and buy. Owen was helpful, communicative, and a genuinely nice person. I would highly recommend.

Working with Hannah was an absolute pleasure from start to finish! She is everything you could want in a real estate agent: knowledgeable, patient and had great communication. From our first viewing, she took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and guided me through every step of the renting process and the different options. We viewed a few different properties to find the one that was best for us and the ones we viewed with Hannah were the most memorable and where we ended up choosing. Hannah’s communication was top-notch. she was always quick to respond, answered every question thoroughly, and made sure we felt comfortable and confident at each stage. She went above and beyond to make the experience smooth and even enjoyable. I never felt pressured, just supported by someone who genuinely wanted the best for me. I would not choose to work with anyone else.

Start your search early, ideally 6-9 months before your intended move-in date. The most desirable student properties in Oxford are often reserved well in advance, particularly for the start of the academic year in September/October.

Most student tenants require a guarantor, typically a parent or guardian. For international students without a UK-based guarantor, we can suggest alternatives such as paying rent in advance or using our no-deposit Residency option. Contact us to discuss your specific situation.

This varies by property. Some student rentals include bills (utilities, internet), while others require tenants to manage these separately. Properties are typically offered furnished with essential items. Each listing will clearly specify what's included in the rental price.

Absolutely! We strongly encourage viewings before making any commitments. These can be arranged in person or, for international students, via video call. Our team can conduct virtual tours to help you make an informed decision from anywhere in the world.

Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) are properties rented by three or more people from different households who share facilities. HMOs require special licensing and must meet additional safety standards, including fire safety measures, making them ideal for student groups.
