Guaranteed rent for landlords in Headington
Headington is the hospital and university quarter of Oxford, and one of the most dependable lettings markets in OX3. Demand from hospital staff, academics and families is steady all year. Landlords here still face the familiar problems, though: gaps between tenancies, maintenance calls at awkward hours and the paperwork that comes with a busy property.
VividSpaces pays Headington landlords a fixed rent every month on a three to five year agreement, with no fees taken out of it. We place vetted families who want to stay long term, and take on inspections, repairs, regular professional cleaning and compliance for the whole term.
What Headington landlords get
- Three hospitals and Brookes sit within a mile of OX3
- Semis and terraces near the JR suit the families we house
- Guaranteed monthly rent, whether the property is occupied or not
- Occupant calls, repairs and inspections never reach your phone
What a year of rent looks like for a Headington 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.

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

The Headington rental market
Headington's rental demand is anchored by the largest concentration of employment in Oxford. The John Radcliffe, the Churchill and the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre sit within a mile of each other, and Oxford Brookes University's main campus is on the same hill. That mix of hospital staff, researchers and university employees keeps well-maintained family homes in short supply, and it is demand that does not fall away outside term time.

Headington landlord questions
If yours is not here, ask us directly. We would rather answer it before you sign than after.
Yes, across Old Headington, New Headington, Headington Quarry, Highfield and Risinghurst in OX3. Contact us with your address and we will confirm.
Usually yes, once the existing tenancy has ended. We place families as long-term occupants rather than short-term lets, so we would take the property on at the point it becomes available.
After a visit and agreement on terms, we typically complete paperwork and begin payments within 5 to 10 working days.
Request a rental proposal for your Headington property

Before you call
