“I was lucky enough to find Luke Hanshaw at Oxford Student Homes. He is highly professional, knowledgeable, experienced and respectful toward both the students and myself, offering a personal and friendly service. Nothing is too much trouble, and he is always able to help. Luke responds quickly whenever I need to contact him. The fees are reasonable. Highly recommended!”

What we commit to — in writing

  • Every repair acknowledged the same day, including weekends. You will know it is in hand before you have had to chase

  • Compliance renewed before it expires, every time — gas, electrical, EPC, fire risk and licensing all tracked automatically. No lapse, no fine, no scramble.

  • One named person, on a mobile — you have Luke's number. Not a call centre, not a ticket number, not “your account manager is on leave”.

We are a young agency and we do not hide it — which is why we publish what we promise instead of averages we cannot yet prove. Every commitment above is written into your Terms of Business.

From enquiry to fully managed —
in 4 steps and 14 days.

Most landlords are fully onboarded within two weeks. Here’s what happens.

Our Early Landlord Promise

Our first landlords pay no VAT on management fees, and we will hold that for the full length of your first two years with us.

After that, if registration becomes unavoidable, we will tell you three months before anything changes — in writing, with the numbers.

We reserve the right to review and update our service fees and percentages in line with market conditions. However, we will never add VAT on top of the agreed management fees for landlords who join under this promise.

We understand what students actually need from a home, and what landlords actually need from an agent.

Find out what your Oxford HMO could really be doing.

Book a free 30-minute consultation.

Send us a few details about your property and we do the homework before we ever speak. We benchmark it against live Oxford comparables, check the licensing and Article 4 position for your postcode, and work out where you sit under the Renters’ Rights Act.

On the call we go through the numbers, the compliance position and your options in plain English. We do not sell you anything on the call — and if we are not the right fit for your property, we say so.

Within 48 hours you receive a written consultation report: your property, your numbers, our recommendation. Yours to keep, whether you instruct us or not.

No fee. No obligation. No catch.

Common questions

Everything you’re wondering about…

How do I switch from my current agent?

Switching to Oxford Student Homes is straightforward and far less hassle than most landlords expect — we handle the entire transition. Once you decide to move, we contact your current agent to arrange the handover, make sure all compliance documents, tenancy agreements and deposit protections transfer correctly, update utilities and tenant communications where needed, and take over maintenance and rent collection seamlessly. Most landlords are fully transferred within 2–4 weeks, often with no gap in service.

What does the landlord portal show me?

Live rent status and statements. Voids. Maintenance tickets with photos at every stage. Compliance status and downloadable certificates. Tenancy documents. Inspection reports. Contact logs. It updates live — when we log a job or renew a certificate, it appears on your portal within minutes.

What happens if a tenant doesn’t pay rent?

Rent is tracked daily. If a tenant misses a payment, we contact them the same day to resolve it. If it escalates, we follow a documented arrears process — courtesy reminder on day 1, formal arrears letter on day 7, guarantor notification on day 14, recommendation to you on day 30 — and you see every step on the portal. Tenants on a joint tenancy are jointly and severally liable, and each guarantor is pursued under their deed of guarantee.

Are you regulated?

Yes — in every way a UK letting agent can be. Oxford Student Homes is certified and accredited by Propertymark, the professional body for UK letting agents, through Propertymark Company Advantage — and Luke is personally Propertymark qualified (Level 3 Certificate in Property Agency, Lettings). We are members of The Property Ombudsman, the government-approved independent redress scheme — a legal requirement for every letting agent, and your free, independent route beyond us if we ever fall short. Client money is protected by Propertymark Client Money Protection (membership C0142401), and our CMP certificate is published on this website, exactly as the legislation requires. We are registered with the ICO for data protection (ZC141643), and Oxford Student Homes Ltd is a limited company registered in England & Wales, no. 16699598.
