This review of Finders Keepers Shared Letting originally appeared on Google Maps. See more reviews by Dan.
Over my time as a renter I used about a dozen letting agents, and Finders Keepers (who operate – or certainly used to operate – both student and non-student lettings out of this office, despite the name) were without a doubt the best I used in Oxford. They were honest, clear, and fair.
They still had the problem that every letting agent in Oxford (and most of the South of England, for that matter) seem to have of having stacks of seemingly-arbitrary fees (“So I have to pay to apply to rent this place… even if you later reject me?”) and excessive bureaucracy (“So even if I can show you that I have or even offer to GIVE you year’s rent up-front, I still need a guarantor because you don’t think my income is high enough?”). But at least they were transparent and generally good at responding to queries.
In summary: the best letting agent I’ve used in Oxford, but bear in mind that comes with the caveat that they’re still “like an Oxford letting agent”.
