Guaranteed rent for landlords in Cowley

Cowley is Oxford's working heart and its most active rental district in OX4. The Mini plant, the business park and the Cowley Road corridor keep demand high across a large stock of terraced housing. For landlords, the turnover that makes Cowley easy to let is also what makes it tiring to manage.

VividSpaces takes a three to five year lease on your Cowley property and pays a fixed rent monthly, occupied or not. No management fee, no letting fee, and our company name on the agreement. We place families looking for a settled home and manage the property day to day throughout.

What Cowley landlords get

  • BMW Mini and Oxford Business Park shifts fill OX4 terraces
  • Two and three-bed Cowley homes are exactly what we place
  • Your payment does not move when the occupants do
  • 100% of rents paid on time to date

What a year of rent looks like for a Cowley landlord

Take a home that would let for £1,900* a month on the open market. Let the usual way, a normal year brings a management fee every month, a tenancy that ends, two empty months, a re-let fee, a repair bill and a late payment. Under a VividSpaces lease the same home pays £1,900* on the same date, twelve times.

* Illustration only, not a quote and not an offer. Assumes open-market rent £1,900/month, 10% management fee, two void months, £550 re-let fee, £340 repair bill, one late payment. The rent for your Cowley property is agreed in writing after we have seen it, before you sign anything.

If the property is empty, how are you still paying me?

Because the rent does not depend on who is living there. VividSpaces is the tenant on your lease, which is a company let, so the obligation to pay you is ours for the whole term, whether the home is occupied or between families.

  1. Local authorities

    Refer families who need a settled, long-term home and vet them before referral.

  2. VividSpaces

    Holds a three to five year lease with our company named on it, and places the family.

  3. You

    Paid a fixed rent on the same date every month for the whole term, agreed in writing before you sign.

The Cowley rental market

Cowley's economy is unusually concentrated for Oxford. The BMW Mini plant remains one of the largest private employers in Oxfordshire, and Oxford Business Park and the science parks nearby add thousands more roles in engineering, technology and logistics. The result is consistent demand for two and three-bed terraces from people in stable, long-term employment. Cowley Road itself sustains a busy independent retail and hospitality scene that keeps the area lively and well-connected to the city centre.

Homes we take on here

Two and three-bed terraces throughout Cowley and Temple Cowley, ex-industrial conversions and flats near Oxford Business Park, and family homes toward Florence Park.

Regular buses run along Cowley Road into central Oxford in around fifteen minutes, with the Eastern Bypass and A4142 giving fast access to the A34 and M40.

Neighbourhoods we cover: Temple Cowley, Cowley Road, Florence Park, Oxford Business Park, Church Cowley.

From first call to first payment

Four steps. Not sure whether your Cowley property qualifies? Ask us, it takes a minute.

  1. Day one

    We view the Cowley property

    We look at the home, confirm what it would let for, and put in writing what we will pay and for how long. No charge and no obligation.

  2. On signing

    VividSpaces goes on the lease

    A company let of three to five years with our name on it. From the date in the agreement the rent obligation is ours, occupied or not.

  3. Before move-in

    We prepare the home and place a family

    Any light works first, then a family referred and vetted by local authorities and checked again by us.

  4. Every month

    The same figure on the same date

    Repairs, inspections, cleaning and every phone call run through our office for the whole term.

Cowley landlord questions

If yours is not here, ask us directly. We would rather answer it before you sign than after.

  • All of OX4 including Temple Cowley, Church Cowley, Florence Park and the streets around Cowley Road and Oxford Business Park.

  • It depends on size, condition and street, so we do not give a figure before seeing the property. We confirm your exact rent in writing after a free, no-obligation visit.

  • Often yes. We assess light works during the visit and can arrange them, and we can source suitable furniture where a property needs it.

Request a rental proposal for your Cowley property

Tell us the address. We look at the property and come back with a fixed monthly figure and the term we can offer on it, in writing, at no cost.

Before you call

You will not find landlord reviews on this site. We would rather show you nothing than show you something we invented. Ask us on the call and we will put you on the phone with a landlord we already work with, so you can ask them instead.
