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 Summertown rental market
Summertown draws a particular kind of long-term occupier: academics, medical professionals and families who want space and good schooling within reach of the city centre. The Banbury Road corridor is lined with substantial period houses, many converted into high-quality flats, and demand for both is steady. Because so many households here are settled rather than transient, Summertown suits a long-term arrangement particularly well.
Homes we take on here
Large Victorian and Edwardian family houses across North Oxford, purpose-built and converted flats along Banbury Road, and family homes toward Cutteslowe.
Oxford Parkway station is a short drive north with direct trains to London Marylebone, and frequent buses run down Banbury Road into the city centre in around fifteen minutes.

The same figure on the same date

Summertown landlord questions
If yours is not here, ask us directly. We would rather answer it before you sign than after.
Yes. Larger family houses suit our model well, since we place families looking for a long-term home rather than short-term occupants.
Typically three to five years, which gives you long-term security while keeping the terms flexible around your plans for the property.

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.
