Properties for Sale and Rent in Oxford

Oxford is a university city that, though heavily influenced by its namesake university, is not reliant solely upon it for its identity. The county town of Oxfordshire, Oxford has an varied economic base with many contributing sectors, including manufacturing, publishing, IT and science, in addition to education and research.

The architecture and property supply in Oxford is eclectic ranging from Cotswold Stone farmhouses to period cottages in Chilterns villages, penthouse apartments in the City, villas in Oxford and modern contemporary commuter houses surrounding the various transport hubs. Demand for each is high and the houses and flats for sale regularly achieve premiums with competing buyers.

With its history and culture Oxford attracts buyers from all over the world. The excellent range of both state and independent schools within the city coupled with the two Universities and several hospitals make it a very popular choice for family buyers. The proximity to London (56 miles) and other major commercial centres make it a sought after destination and later this year a new rail station at Oxford Parkway in North Oxford will open with services from London Marylebone providing a significant boost for commuters to London.

The majority of buyers are drawn to the city looking to purchase within the catchment area for popular primary and secondary schools. Agents also see a high number of buyers moving into the city from the countryside who are looking for a lifestyle change with more amenities on the doorstep, easier road and rail travel and strong prospects for capital growth.

Here at Oxford the property agencies have an experienced team of local professionals keen to share their property passion and expertise through friendly and informed advice. They offer the full range of property services including rent, sales, lettings & management and are always happy to provide obligation-free assistance and advice in any property related matters. The property agents diligent and friendly service allowed them to grow rapidly.

There are agencies too numerous to list so if you’re buying, it’s always worth signing up to individual agencies’ emailing lists rather than relying on web searches, as the best properties are often snapped up before they appear online to the general public. Don’t hope to pick up a dishevelled bargain and do it up; all property of this nature in Oxford will be pounced on by professional developers at rates far beyond first-time buyers, almost before they reach the market.
