Guaranteed rent for landlords in Oxford
Oxford has one of the tightest rental markets in the country. Two universities, a teaching hospital cluster and a science and technology economy keep demand consistently ahead of supply across OX1 to OX5. Landlords rarely struggle to let a property here, yet voids between tenancies, repair bills and the sheer time cost of managing a home in a high-turnover city still erode what you actually take home.
VividSpaces offers Oxford landlords a fixed monthly rent on a three to five year agreement, paid on the same date whether or not the property is occupied. There are no management fees and no letting fees, and our company is named on the lease. We place vetted families as long-term occupants through local authority partnerships, then handle inspections, maintenance, cleaning and compliance for the length of the term.
What Oxford landlords get
- Hospital, university and Cowley plant staff all need housing
- Works for OX1 flats and larger family houses alike
- One fixed sum paid monthly, void periods carried by us
- ICO registered and Property Redress Scheme members
What a year of rent looks like for a Oxford 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.
VividSpaces
Holds a three to five year lease with our company named on it, and places the family.
You
Paid a fixed rent on the same date every month for the whole term, agreed in writing before you sign.
The Oxford rental market
Oxford's rental market is shaped by three large, stable employers rather than by seasonal demand. The John Radcliffe and Churchill hospitals in Headington, Oxford Brookes and the University of Oxford, and the manufacturing and science parks at Cowley and Littlemore all draw people who need somewhere settled to live year-round. House prices sit far above the national average, which pushes a large share of Oxford households into long-term renting. For landlords that means reliable demand, but also a market where properties change hands often and management never really stops.
Homes we take on here

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.
Every month
The same figure on the same date
Repairs, inspections, cleaning and every phone call run through our office for the whole term.
Oxford landlord questions
If yours is not here, ask us directly. We would rather answer it before you sign than after.
Yes. We work with landlords across Oxford city centre, Headington, Cowley, Summertown, Jericho, Marston, Iffley, Littlemore, Blackbird Leys, Rose Hill, Wolvercote, Barton and Kidlington. Send us your full address and we will confirm coverage.
It depends entirely on the property type, size, condition and exact location, so we do not quote a figure before seeing it. Any example figure shown elsewhere on this site is an illustration, not an offer. We give you a firm number in writing after a free, no-obligation visit, and it is fixed from that point.
Oxford operates a city-wide licensing scheme for houses in multiple occupation, and we can work with licensed properties as well as standard family homes. We will review your licence and any conditions attached to it as part of the assessment.
Yes. Your payment is fixed and arrives on the same date every month for the whole term, including any period when the property is between occupants.
Request a rental proposal for your Oxford 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.
