Welcome to North Oxford Property Services.

"For the past 12 years North Oxford Property Services have taken very good care of our letting situation. I would and have recommended NOPS to anyone who needs to rent to students and others. Their fees are very competitive and their attention to detail is totally effective. Long may they continue."

John - Landlord

"NOPS are quite simply, brilliant. I am always impressed with how quickly they respond to any queries, from myself or my tenants. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to let their property in Oxford. The most reliable, friendly and efficient service you could ask for."

Tess – Landlady

"Hi guys
Just wanted to wish you both a very happy Christmas and New Year and thank you on behalf of Jamie and I for all your work on managing our property this year, much appreciated. Your diligence makes it so much easier for us to be confident about St Marys Road despite living on the opposite side of the world!
Cheers Rob and Jamie"

Jamie - Landlord

"Once again many thanks for your help and I would say that to date NOPS have been most impressive in its professionalism. I have had reason to find a flat elsewhere for another of my children and the service from a major chain does not compare."

David Driscoll – Tenant

"NOPS are very professional agents and have helped us make the best possible return on our property investment. They gave us good advice on what to buy and their marketing to tenants has been outstandingly successful. Their day to day management of our house has been thorough and they have dealt with any problems quickly and efficiently. I can recommend their service to other landlords."

Terry – Landlord

"I really have to rate NOPS as the best in the business; They've repeatedly re-let all my property within days Even in the depths of a recession. Their management service takes any day to day pressure off me and apart from a few 2 minute calls, all gets sorted."

Tess - Landlady

"We have found NOPS to be the best letting agents in Oxford. NOPS always selects high quality tenants and we have experienced letting throughout the year. NOPS have a dedicated small team, who work well together to resolve any  matters quickly on our behalf, which arise with the ownership of property. They provide a personal service both to landlords and tenants."

Martin – Landlord

"NOPS have been looking after our properties since 1999. They have lifted from our shoulders all the responsibilities of dealing with tenant liaison, property upkeep and maintenance, with speed and cheerfulness we have not experienced elsewhere. A most professional team that we are happy to rely on completely for the day to day management."

 Diana – Landlady

"I have used NOPS for 5 years. As an absent landlord I rely on NOPS to manage the entire process of managing the property, finding tenants, and managing the rental income. I have found them very reliable, and the staff keep me informed on a regular basis as to the state of the property.  I have complete peace of mind with NOPS managing my property."

Anthony – Landlord 

"We have been renting a family house from NOPS for 3 years and are still very happy with the property and their service. Very few problems have arisen, but when they have our housing manager (Costa) has dealt with the issue immediately. It is difficult to move into rented accommodation with a family after living in your own home for 15 years, but NOPS, and Costa in particular, were very helpful and have made us feel at home. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending them to family, friends and colleagues."

John – Landlord

"Renting with NOPS has been wonderfully pain-free. From when I first started to look for a property, to signing a contract and moving in, to living in it day-to-day, the people at NOPS - and, in particular, Costa and Debbie - have been thoroughly supportive and helpful. But they are much more than just friendly faces - though that's important too! All of our dealings with NOPS, including when we have had some problem with the property, have always been carried out calmly, efficiently and promptly. Given this service, we have been able to enjoy our property hassle free: it's been like living at home. I will be very happy to rent with NOPS in the future."

Dr Elton Barker

"I moved to NOPS after I had significant non let periods with another agent. NOPS found tenants quickly and I have had no downtime since. The properties are managed efficiently and when work needs doing it is done well and not at exorbitant cost or mark up. The NOPS team come with my strong recommendation."

Oliver - Landlord

"As the sun rises on another beautiful day at NOPS the team bounces into action. The first order of the day is the operations meeting. Led by the determined and experienced Deborah. All existing repairs are checked off and all new repairs are logged ready for the huddled mass of contractors and repairmen eager to help, fix, mend, shine and put to bed all outstanding issues. Happy tenants make for a happy team at NOPS.
Move-in's, Move-Out's and anything in-between are managed with adept dexterity. Not a problem phases, not an issue ruffles.
Whether it is the brilliant Bowlers, the capable Costa or the tenacious Tom. Everything at NOPS is ship shape and Oxford fashion!
Accounts are complemented by the judicious Janice where rent is never forgotten, or arrears never chased.
End of the day brings a feeling of relief to the team at NOPS satisfied in the knowledge that everything has been done to keep the tenants, landlords and Council happy. Another great day/week/month for NOPS closes ready to help again tomorrow.
It's tough aiming for the best but NOPS hits the spot time and time again!"

Ollie an East Oxford Landlord

"I have been using NOPS for 10 years now,  they manage my properties in Oxford .
What are my needs ?I have recently retired and the rental income is very important to me as it helps to supplement my pension so I need   to get the best possible rent and that the properties are let continuously and are  kept in a good state of repair to both increase   their value with time and continue to generate income with rent
1)The property has always been let year/year with on average only one-week empty period   between tenancies and the rental level is the highest that can be achievable without pricing the property out of the market risking empty periods .
2) The properties are kept in good state of repairs , inspections are carried out on a regular basis and when repairs are needed, I am notified either by email or email and phone if they are urgent .
3) If employees are engaged on other calls when I ring there is an answer phone, and I am always called back within a short space of time and emails are answered in less than 24 hours
4) At the end of a tenancy there is a final inspection and tenants are charged if repairs are needed to bring the property to the level it was at the onset of the tenancy .
5) There is a lot of offer out there ,the  market is very competitive as  the expectations of the tenants have risen in recent years and they have plenty to choose from .One needs to maintain the property to a good standard and be reasonable about the rent .Once per year I sit down with Debbie the director and we discuss the market situation ,what if anything needs doing to the properties and what rent they should go for .Advice on investment is also available for free both with Debbie and Robin Swailes who has built a very successful business over the past 20 years . I have taken advantage of this in more than one occasion and never had cause to regret it .
In conclusion I am happy with NOPS and would recommend them unreservedly . "

"As an owner occupier in a prestige central Oxford apartment development, I am very satisfied with the attitude and service provided by Nops in supervising the Block management of our apartments. They handle the day to day management and administration efficiently and in a businesslike way. They respond quickly and effectively when problems arise. They provide a 'hands on' competent professional service."

Gary

"Since the summer of 2013, when North Oxford Property Services took over from Homefinders-Oxford the provision of services for the apartments on Lower Fisher Row of The Stream Edge Management Company Ltd, we have continued to experience a high degree of professionalism, attention to detail, helpfulness, and initiative from our Block Manager Mr Gary O’Neill and the staff of NOPS."

"As fairly new buy-to-let investors, my partner and I emailed all the Oxford estate agents to see who was interested in helping our property search. Unbelievably, only Debbie bothered to reply, so we were impressed with her from the start. We came into NOPS for a friendly meeting and from then on Debbie was on board for us. She called us with news about what was coming on the market, before it was advertised. She came with us to look at the properties and gave us advice over whether they'd make a good rental investment or not. Her experience of student lettings meant that she had a much better feel than us for what would let easily and at a good rent, and what would be less popular with students. (ie she saved us from Tim's obsession with horrible flats in Headington.) This was valuable advice. She also put us in touch with Darbys solicitors for the conveyancing, and that has also been an excellent choice too. (Come on -little plug for Jamie - he's earned it!)
There was no pressure for us to choose NOPS to manage our properties once we had bought them (other than Debbie threatening to shoot us if we didn't) but we were very happy to continue working with NOPS. Their manager Costa does a fantastic job, somehow managing to keep messy student tenants in order while still remaining hugely popular with them. He knows we landlords need to keep our costs down, so we can trust him to carry out works on a competitive and needs-must basis. We have minimal voids thanks to very effective marketing of the properties, and efficient repairs and maintenance periods between tenancies. NOPS also has a very good relationship with Oxford City Council, which means they are fully aware of all the legislation and compliances involved with HMO's, and can work closely with the Council to make sure license applications are successful. NOPS' association with project managers and architects Bluesky Developments has also helped us to carry out improvements to our properties in a highly satisfactory manner - they have been very efficient and hardworking for us.
NOPS has an excellent team and deliver a really hands-on, caring service not just to their tenants but also to their other clients - us poor landlords (even though everyone hates us!)"
