College and County - Oxford: Reviews
Fantastic experience: College and county have been very helpful throughout all of the processes of viewing a home and all of the paperwork and processes to be able to rent a property. Experienced and supportive throughout
Fantastic experience: College and county has looked after two rental houses for me for several years and they take all the hassle out of my life. They select great tenants and give regular feedback on how the letting is progressing, they also deal efficiently with the normal household problems like drains, appliance breakages and keep me informed with me having to interrupt my day to sort them out. They have also negotiated HMO licences with the council on my behalf. I have had requests from other letting agencies but am not going to change. Thank you C&C
Chris, thank you for taking the time to post a review. I am delighted that you are confident of the service you receive from the team and are not minded to see if the grass is greener elsewhere. We do try very hard to ensure our service is the best you can find in Oxford, and those clients who have experienced other offerings tell us we are better than their previous provider.
Fantastic experience: The best letting agents in Oxford, have been working with them for over 20 years and they have consistently been excellent at marketing and managing my properties and especially during HMO licensing, where they have been able to achieve compliance in a very streamlined and professional manner at all times.
Fantastic experience: C&C have worked for me for some 20 years. They are effective, efficient and helpful to both tenant and landlord. Libby is the latest in a line of property managers whom I have come to trust, knowing that she acts pre-emptively and my instructions will be carried out.
Fantastic experience: College and County are a very helpful and professional organisation to work with. They are quick to respond to queries that I have and always keep me up to date, at every stage. The warm and friendly staff explain everything meticulously, Evie from the Oxford branch being a stand out member of the team. The renting process has been very smooth and painless for me using College and County. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Evie is a fantastic property manager — always professional, friendly, and incredibly efficient. She communicates clearly, handles issues quickly, and makes every job straightforward. Working with her is always a pleasure, and her reliability truly stands out. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Great company to work with. Fantastic communication and always go above and beyond.
Fantastic experience: Great to work with Evie at College & County, been very helpful/efficient!
Fantastic experience: We’ve had the pleasure of working with Evie at College & County, and she’s been brilliant from start to finish. As a window and door company, clear communication and smooth coordination with estate agents is essential — and Evie absolutely delivers on both. She’s friendly, responsive, and incredibly organised, making access arrangements and timelines easy to manage. Everything runs efficiently, which makes a huge difference on busy projects. It’s always a pleasure working alongside someone so professional and proactive. Highly recommend Evie and the team at College & County!
Fantastic experience: College and County have been super helpful and welcoming - especially Alima and Libby
Fantastic experience: College and County have been such an amazing help throughout this year when dealing with small problems or urgent matters. Employee Evie was extremely helpful and very understanding is our situation! Can’t wait for the following year.
Fantastic experience: Good helpful staffs, attentive to the need of the tenant! Recommend them
Fantastic experience: College and County have taken responsibility for finding tenants and managing our flat for nearly two years. During that time they have been very efficient and approachable. They have communicated well and have dealt with any problems quickly. They have acted as a good link between the tenants and us. Our experience has been positive.
Fantastic experience: College and County rented out my property and provided a professional, friendly service throughout. Ines stood out in particular and was extremely accommodating.
Fantastic experience: Ive just watched the latest video Landlords Renters Right act , which I found interesting and very helpful . College and County are an excellent agent to deal with and certainly trust their judgement so have always felt happy dealing with them ,each and every staff member that I have ever dealt with deals with your query very efficiently .
Fantastic experience: Very useful session on the changes resulting from the Renter's Rights Act. Clear with plenty of opportunity for questions.
Fantastic experience: I had a v positive experience with College and County when finding somewhere to rent in the Oxford area. They were always extremely quick to respond to any queries that I had and everyone was so helpful and friendly. The setup process was also very efficient, which made the whole thing less stressful. Thank you so much to the team for helping me!
Fantastic experience: I wasn’t asked to leave this review but I’m happy to do so. Our experience with C&C as tenants was excellent, one of the best letting agents we’ve had so far: timely, understanding, and polite. I’d like to especially praise Ewelina as a great property manager. We’ll certainly choose C&C again if we return to Oxford.
Fantastic experience: Very impressed with College and County. They have made the whole process of renting with them very easy, are super easy to contact and best of all are very proactive sending through all the necessary paperwork/certificates you need so that you don't have to chase them for anything. 5 star service!
Fantastic experience: I have really good experience this time. All staffs replies quickly and professionally.
Fantastic experience: College and County have been managing our property in Oxford for over 20 years and have always been very efficient in all this time. The quality of staff and the management is excellent and have always resolved issues in a friendly and businesslike manner. I cannot praise their work ethic enough.
Fantastic experience: My daughter and I have been renting through this agency for three years now! Everyone is always polite and any problems are resolved relatively quickly!
Fantastic experience: I chose College and County after meeting Richard. He came across as genuine, friendly and extremely helpful. The team were professional throughout the process. I can recommend the team and feel assured they will see you through a process that at times can feel never ending.
Fantastic experience: I would reccomend College and County having both bought and sold property through them. Our agent, Richard was always available for support throughout the process going above and beyond what we expected.
Fantastic experience: Exceptional Service! The team at College and County are friendly and very quick to resolve issues. They reply to emails within 24 hours and send contractors (if needed) within 3-4 days. From what I hear, this is much better than you would expect of the average Oxford letting agency and it is much appreciated.
Fantastic experience: College and County have been managing our let in Oxford for 7 years. They have found us excellent tenants, inspected the property regularly and sorted out routine maintenance. They obtain all safety certificates, HMO applications etc. on our behalf. They have dealt with any problems like replacing a broken washing machine or fixing a water leak quickly and efficiently. Their customer service is first class, they are easy to contact by email or phone. They will offer helpful advice if we need it. Basically, they do all the work and we just sit back and watch the rent come in.
Fantastic experience: The staff were very kind and patient in providing information and helping me securing a property. Excellent communication with quick email replies and clarity though the renting process.
Fantastic experience: Ines at College and County has been brilliant at helping us. I would absolutely recommend her and the team!
Negative experience: Warning: Unfair Treatment of Tenants and Deposits Extremely disappointing experience with this agency. One of our tenants only lived in the property for three months before ending their tenancy suddenly, but the agency has tried to pass the entire burden of cleaning and other costs onto us. They deducted over £1,100 from our deposit, including an outrageous £714 “cleaning” fee . What makes this worse is that the property was not professionally cleaned when I moved in, yet they still insisted on charging for a professional clean at the end. When I asked for evidence, they could not provide check-in documentation to justify their charges. ⚠️ From my experience, I would strongly recommend never renting a house through this agency, unless you are prepared to dispute unreasonable deductions at the end.
Fantastic experience: I had been renting with College and County over four years now since I moved to Oxford. My overall experience has been great with little to no grievances whatsoever. They have always been quick to reply and sort out any concerns that I may have throughout the flat. I highly recommend their services.
Fantastic experience: College and County have been excellent to deal with on all accounts — great communication, very professional, friendly, and easy to work with. They’ve handled our licence applications seamlessly and have been fantastic at finding the right tenants for us. Truly outstanding service all round.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend them. The team is really good. Super helpful for tenants, they are looking after both sides, not only the landlords side. I'm really happy with them.
Fantastic experience: I had a very good experience of this letting agency as a tenant. All problems with the property were dealt with as quickly, effectively, and without fuss as can be hoped. Communication was good. I doubt there's a better agency in the Oxford area!
Fantastic experience: Bianca was one of the kindest and most sincere agents I have interacted with during a very stressful time of job-related relocation. She did not just respond to my inquiry. She actively searched her database for other properties that might suit my needs and communicated with genuine care. Even though I ended up not relocating, I still wanted to leave this review because I truly appreciated how seen and supported I felt. In a housing market that can often feel impersonal, Bianca's warmth and professionalism stood out. Thank you again. You made a difference.
Fantastic experience: My partner and I were looking for our first property together and Ines, was extremely helpful. She guided us every step of the way and made the process very easy to manage. If we want to rent again in the distant future, we will definitely be back for her help!
Fantastic experience: Ewelina was a fantastic property manager and made the letting process smooth across the 2 years of our student tenancy.
Fantastic experience: I have rented twice now with College and County and the experience has been extremely pleasant. Replies from the team have been prompt and helpful, and I would strongly recommend them to other postgraduate/professional renters.
Fantastic experience: College and County has been excellent in helping us with the process of moving to one of their apartments in Oxford. Ines has been kind and helpful, and very quick to answer all of our questions. I appreciate that she wants to proactively care for tenants like us.
Fantastic experience: I have recently rented a property through College and County after deciding to move from London to Oxford. Their ongoing commitment to help, professionalism and kindness have made this difficult process much easier. I am very happy with their services and would highly recommend them.
Fantastic experience: I have dealt with C&C for about a decade. 5 stars really is insufficient.. The difference between college and county and other property management firms that I have dealt with is so enormous. They are extraordinarily responsive, proactive, and reliable. You feel like the entire staff is devoted solely to your propery. I want to thank (just listing some names that come to mind) David, Ines, Sonali, Rani, and Libby who have been giving lightning-quick responses to various issues and questions over the years.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend this letting agency. They are responsive and efficient with resolving any issues we have with the house. Our property manager, Rani, is always cheerful and helpful.
Fantastic experience: We are happy with the agency. The house they rented to us is nice and they are very prompt with replying and getting things fixed, looked at.
Fantastic experience: College and County have been very helpful in responding to our requests and needs, in arranging viewings and sending through suitable, tailored opportunities. During an intense house searching process, this has been encouraging. Thank you for all the help.
Fantastic experience: I’ve had the privilege of working with Danielle Morton and Sonali at College and County, who together have transformed the management of my buy-to-let property portfolio. Danielle, whom I’ve known for many years, is an exceptional agent whose meticulous attention to detail and deep market expertise inspired me to move my entire portfolio to follow her to College and County. Since she’s taken over, I’ve experienced zero void periods, and my properties are maintained to the highest standard. Her ability to navigate complex, ever-changing regulations has made my portfolio truly feel like passive income, allowing me to step back with complete confidence. Complementing Danielle’s brilliance, Sonali manages the daily maintenance of my properties with an unmatched level of care and precision. Her stickler-for-detail approach ensures every issue is resolved swiftly and effectively, providing a level of service I’ve never encountered with any other agency. Sonali’s reliability has earned my full trust, and I hope she continues to oversee the maintenance of my portfolio for years to come. Together, Danielle and Sonali make an outstanding team, and I couldn’t recommend them or College and County highly enough!
Fantastic experience: I’ve had an excellent experience with College & County as my letting agent. Their team has consistently provided clear communication and efficient support throughout my tenancy application and move in process. The team has always been approachable, proactive, and genuinely focused on ensuring a smooth experience. I highly recommend College & County for their outstanding service.
Fantastic experience: We've had a great experience with College and County so far. From the point of finding the property we liked to the management side of things, Danielle and Rani have been wonderful.
Fantastic experience: We’ve just signed on to let a student house through College and County. Really smooth experience, it couldn’t have been quicker or easier! Any queries were always answered straight away and communication was great. Couldn’t recommend more!
Fantastic experience: I initially contacted College and County having reviewed a number of their properties for rent online, almost all of which were very stylish and beautifully appointed. And when following up with C&C, meeting Lettings Manager, Ines face-to-face, I was immediately impressed with not only her professionalism but also her focus on looking for that 'needle-in-a-haystack' flat for me. Having met a number of other estate agents before approaching C&C, I quickly decided that Ines was the person with whom I wanted to work. As it happens, because my circumstances have since changed I've decided to stay where I am, but should these change again in the future, College and County will be the first to hear from me!

Fantastic experience: We have let our property with College and County for about 15 years - most recently our tenant left unexpectedly and the guidance, advice and customer service we received was exceptional from the College & County Team. The property maintenance team immediately kicked into action and advised us of repair and maintenance work required and created an impressive project plan and timetable to get the work completed and project managed the work. Whilst the work was being completed, the rental team advised us on the rental market and the pricing strategy and marketed the property. They very quickly identified a new tenant at the agreed rent. We are delighted at the speed, efficiency and team work across College & County! A big thankyou from us! Cathy & Nigel
Fantastic experience: I rented with College and County for three years and I had a genuinely good experience. Callum, my property manager, was always quick to respond, clear in his communication, and very helpful whenever anything came up. He made sure everything ran smoothly, including facilitating clear and seamless communication with the landlord, and any issues were dealt with efficiently. The flat was really well-maintained, well insulated, with yearly check-ups to keep everything in good shape, and I appreciated that the rent increases stayed reasonable. They provided helpful advice for winter and dealing with things like mould, which was a nice touch! I would absolutely recommend College and County —excellent service from start to finish!
Fantastic experience: I have had a very good experience with the College & County Letting Agent Company. The staff are highly professional and quick to respond to matters. If the property manager is out on visits, the office staff will attempt to make direct contact or make sure I am promptly called back. They are also able to pass on any of my messages, ensuring no query goes unanswered. Their service is not only efficient but also friendly, making interactions smooth and stress-free. The team is well-informed and even keeps clients updated with video newsletters, keeping everyone in the loop about changes that may impact them as a landlord. The property manager demonstrates professionalism and knowledge and will go above and beyond, even offering tenants constructive feedback to help maintain the property and keep it in good condition. In the event of maintenance issues, a professional is quickly arranged to resolve the problem, providing peace of mind to both landlords and tenants. Billing notifications are presented efficiently, and if there are any delays in payments, the office communicates effectively with me to let me know what is going on. Overall, the team’s commitment to providing a great service is evident in everything they do. Keep up the great work! I would definitely recommend College & County to anyone looking for a reliable and professional property management service in Oxford.
Positive experience: Just had my property in Oxford let through College and Country in St Clements Road and this is the third time to work with C&C. The letting service is provided by Ines James who is very helpful and a real gem indeed. I look forward to working with Ines again when the lease expires.
Fantastic experience: My wife and I moved from California to Oxford with a cat for work. The entire immigration process is extremely stressful and intimidating, but College and County were truly excellent in their service and responsiveness, and they made finding housing very easy and stress-free. Our apartment is a dream-come-true, and we were confident in signing the lease, prior to our journey to the UK. This made the transition MUCH easier. Our experience with other agencies was less than ideal, so we can truly say that the College and County team were outstanding!
Fantastic experience: We couldn't have asked for a better agent to help us sell our first home. Rowan was there for us every step of the way, always available to answer our questions and provide guidance. He was incredibly communicative and easy to reach, making what can be a stressful process much smoother. Rowan's support was invaluable, especially during the longer stretches. He kept us informed and grounded, ensuring we understood what was happening and what to expect. We're so grateful for his help and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell their property.
Fantastic experience: A huge thank you to Rowan Waller! We all benefited so much from having Rowan be the central point in this sale. His contact list, professional knowledge, patience, linguistic and communication skills all ultimately helped us through the complex process of selling. At various points, it was a difficult and challenging process and having Rowan on board helped us enormously to navigate the stresses and bring the sale to a successful conclusion. I highly recommend his services. Huge thanks to you, Rowan, you were a star!
Fantastic experience: Had a really great experience with College and County and recommend them highly to all. Undoubtly the best letting agent in Oxford. During the process of finding a place they were really proactive and friendly. During the tenancy they remained incredibly responsive. Thanks are particularly owed to Ewelina, the property manager, who was always very helpful.
Fantastic experience: College and county not only met their obligations as an estate agent (not always one's experience, in Oxford...) but went above and beyond. I genuinely felt that they cared about the local area and took serious their tagline as an ethical estate agent. Sonali, who managed our property, was marvellous and frankly I am sad to be moving away from them as my property manager.
Fantastic experience: C&C has been maintaining the property I rented for 2 years. Their level of professionalism and prompt action when there were issues made it easy for us. Shout out to Callum for always being responsive and willingness to help.
Fantastic experience: Everything involved with moving house is stressful, however Danielle makes everything easy every time! Awnsers every question honestly and makes you feel at ease and like nothing is too much hassle, when making a big decision of where to live. Then once you’ve moved in Libby is always so lovely with any property maintenance that is needed. Well everyone at C&C is always helpful! Thank you team!
Fantastic experience: Rowan from College & County is an absolute champion and went above and beyond to help us sell our house. As we were moving overseas, it was a particularly stressful process but Rowan was there for us every step of the way and we couldn't be more grateful. We actually originally bought our house from Rowan many years ago when he was at Wallers of Oxford and I have to say that College & County really hit the jackpot when he joined them. Rowan is excellent at his job, a genuinely nice person and a poet to boot! We shall be keenly following his social media from afar. Thanks again Rowan and the College & County team :)
Fantastic experience: Excellent service, they answered my questions on time and clearly. The Goodlord system they use for all the documents, processes and referencing is very easy to use. Special thanks to Ed who helped me through the process of renting a house.
Fantastic experience: Eve and her colleagues at College and County have been wonderful! We have been renting with them for just under 1 year and every interaction has been helpful, friendly, and professional. Eve has a wonderful attention to detail and has been really thoughtful whenever we have asked for or needed help. We would heavily recommend College and County to anyone moving to Oxford. A huge thank you to Eve and the team!
Fantastic experience: We are very appreciated for their service in helping us to rent a good house in Abingdon for our family. The communications are very smooth and highly efficient. The instructions are very clear and easy to execute. The commitments and the promisiss are inline with their claim. The support are very effective and helpful. Overall, we have very good experience with College and Country. We definitely will recommend to our friends who mighr need similar services.
Fantastic experience: It’s always a stressful decision purchasing a property, but Rowan at College and County made this process seem like a walk in the park. We were impressed from day one with his honest and personable approach to the purchasing process, as well as his responsiveness to messages which far exceeded expectations. Would highly recommend and use again if the opportunity arose!
Negative experience: Awful experience as a tenant with College and County. Shortly after moving into a C&C rental, my partner (who is asthmatic) was having trouble breathing despite pretty mild allergies issues that had never been problematic before - maybe due to a cat living in the property previously, which wasn't disclosed to us, or maybe as we later discovered due to a pretty bad mould issue (not sure why EPC ratings of E are legal, but that's a separate issue). When told about this, C&C refused to provide any useful accommodations, such as e.g. replacing the carpets, which were in pretty disgusting condition anyway thanks to carpet moths. Legally, they (and landlords) are supposed to provide reasonable accommodations for asthma, which is considered a disability under the Equality Act. Instead they offered only to let us leave early, except rather than just giving us a move out date, they made it conditional on them finding a replacement tenant and us paying rent until the day the new tenant moved in. So, we were kept in limbo for weeks, unable to live safely in that property but also unsure if we'd be on the hook for thousands of pounds extra in rent because they didn't want to risk their landlord going a few days without rent. They tried to pin the blame for the situation on us, for not mentioning my partner's allergy or asking about pets before renting. This is very clearly unfair. First, her allergies weren't severe and had never caused an issue before - if the property had been fairly mould-free and cleaned properly it would've been fine. Second, they obviously just wouldn't have rented to us if we'd mentioned it beforehand, since there were 10 other parties lining up to rent that place - it just opens you up to discrimination based on disability, which, again, is illegal. No sympathy, no help, just making sure we didn't lose their landlord any rent on their little investment property. EDIT 9/7/24: unsure why the response below says they have "no record" of me, I have rented with C&C two separate times and had extensive email correspondence with them. Just a lame attempt to discredit my review, I guess ♂️
Fantastic experience: I must say that this is the first time I have had such a pleasant experience with an estate agency. Danielle from College and County was incredibly helpful and supported us throughout the challenging process of relocating to the UK from abroad. We greatly appreciated her attention and dedication.
Fantastic experience: I have had a really great experience renting with College and County. They manage properties attentively and always respond promptly to any issues, taking a lot of the hassle out of repairs and replacements. In particular, my property manager Libby has been fantastic throughout the two years I have been a tenant with C&C!
Fantastic experience: College and County have been an amazing agency over the last 2.5 years. From responding quickly to problems to ensuring I could move out swiftly and easily. Staff are exceptionally kind and helpful, especially when I lost my keys, locked my keys in, or dealing with any issues. I’d highly recommend them.
Fantastic experience: College & County have always supported the letting of our property in a highly professionally manner, and have successfully found tenants on our behalf who have been trustworthy. I would highly recommend Ines and her team on their capabilities when it comes to property letting and management and we will continue to use their services in the future
Fantastic experience: I rented a flat in Oxford from 2021 to 2024 and moved out this year due to personal reasons. College and County is one of the best lettings agents I have seen in Oxford. Unlike some agents in Oxford who intimidate you or do not respond to your emails during the leasing period, College and County was responsive to any issues that I had during the last three years. They were able to resolve any issues I had with the property within a reasonable timeframe. The landlord was good too. The staff is professional, courteous, and helpful.
Positive experience: As tenants we have received good and personal service from College&County. Their communication was prompt and clear and left us with no trouble at the end of the tenancy.
Fantastic experience: I had a very good experience with College and County! They were very helpful and solved all problems very efficiently. I received my full deposit back! I would recommend C&C as a letting agency for tenants in Oxford.
Fantastic experience: I have had only positive experiences with College and County. The lettings team and the property management team are proactive, cooperative and reliable. My experience is far from the typical nightmare stories you hear from students renting in cities. I highly recommend C&C for letting in Oxford.
Positive experience: One of the better ones. They definitively know what they are doing, and are on it. They do send a horrible load of emails and work with a not very functional web-service for the contract, however, I guess this is better than zero or late communication. They also make up for technical glitches with extremely helpful and kind staff. The down-side of them being on it is of course that there is little flexibility - everyone has to act according to the rules (e.g. they will make you move out of your house at the end of your yearly contract if more than 2 people in the tenancy agreement change; but they will give the house a deep clean and make sure the inventory is fine). So overall good!
Fantastic experience: Rowan was fantastic thorough our purchase journey. Always really patient and prompt in his responses. Would definitely recommend him to anyone who’s considering buying/renting/selling a house.
Fantastic experience: It was a great exprience. I have lived in Oxford more than 3 years, where the housing market is crazy, and experienced several major housing agencies here. From viewing to contract, College and County has treated me always reasonably and they tried their best to response quickly and kindly to my inquiries and questions. These aspects are nowadays really difficult to find in other agencies in Oxford.
Fantastic experience: We had a great experience with College and County! They were kind, considerate, communicative, and even worked around me having a dog in the rental property during visits and showings. My flatmate and I needed to terminate our lease early and they worked fast and efficiently to fill the vacancy and we even received our full deposit back! I would definitely recommend them as a letting agency for tenants in Oxford.
Fantastic experience: In the past, I had really bad (I mean REALLY bad) experiences with letting agencies and like most people renting in Oxford I was very reluctant to rent a flat again via a letting agency. College and County, however, were the absolute best. The Team is so responsive and friendly and warm. I felt really well taken care off and I am a bit sad now that I wont be in touch with them anymore as I have moved on to College owned accommodation. I cannot recommend them more. Meryem
Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of working with Danielle from C&C to secure a rental property, and I couldn't be more pleased with the exceptional service I received. What stood out the most was their promptness in responding to my inquiries. Whether it was via email or phone, C&C was always quick to address my questions and concerns, making the entire process remarkably smooth. Thanks to Danielle's dedication and expertise, I was able to secure accommodation quickly and with ease. I highly recommend C&C and especially Danielle to anyone in search of a reliable and professional estate agent. Their commitment to exceptional service sets them apart in the industry, and I am grateful for the positive experience they provided. Kudos to Danielle and the entire C&C team for their outstanding service!
Fantastic experience: As a hands-on landlord I have worked with the team at C&C on various levels from let-only to full management, with great flexibility from them always accompanied by generous, sensible advice. They take the trouble to get to know their clients and really do go the extra mile. C&C now fully manage our portfolio and it is reassuring to know that the day to day management is taken care of along with the ever increasing compliance. The entire team are straight forward, a pleasure to work with and simply get on with the job with a smile and utmost courtesy.
Negative experience: I am having a horrible experience with college and county. There are several issues with my flat, some of which are very basic like not having heating in the house. For over 6 months, I have been emailing and calling the agency to get these fixed but nothing is being done yet. I would sincerely advise people to not rent through this agency.
Fantastic experience: College and County have been fantastic with the rental of my property. The entire team's communication was fantastic, and they were always able to help and advise with any questions. I felt supported constantly and that they worked with me to find the ideal tenant for my property.
Negative experience: I rented a property a few years ago and it still stands as my worst experience with a letting agency. Moving into the property mid December with a broken toliet and no heating was bad. But my favourite in a very long list of issues was when I contacted the office in an emergency as water was pouring through the kitchen ceiling (caused by a leaking shower that was never fixed during the tenancy and caused issues with mould) and was told 'I don't understand can you send an email with photos'!? We had never been shown where to turn the water off and the ceiling did have to be replaced. As young professionals we were made to feel like an annoying burden. At least we had no issues with the deposit. It's a shame the manager ignores all private complaints via email when things can be fixed, yet is very quick to respond to reviews in detail!
Positive experience: I rented a student property from College and County in 2022-23 and had no trouble at all. Ewelina was always responsive, helpful, and the agency always helped us repair things in a timely manner, and were reasonable regarding fair wear and tear. Only slight negative was that some communications seemed to imply that it was mandatory for us to get the property professionally cleaned upon check out. Quoting from an email: "Cleaning charges are a common deduction from your deposit at the end of a tenancy. To avoid this, and as per your tenancy agreement (where you have agreed to have the property professionally cleaned) we recommend you contact any of the below ‘preferred’ cleaning companies." It is illegal for landlords to require this of tenants, and when I explicitly asked about this, it was acknowledged that we could just clean it ourselves, but I do feel like some communications were worded such that we were led to believe that we absolutely must use professional cleaners, which felt a bit sneaky. Overall though, it was a very positive experience renting with C&C.
Fantastic experience: The team at College and County were nothing short of helpful. When a problem arose they tried to get help to us as soon as possible, sometimes even the same day! When moving out at the end of our tenancy I had a lot of questions and they were answered very quick and efficiently. Thank you to our property manager, Chris Mackey and all the team at College and County!
Fantastic experience: College and Country are highly professional but personable at the same time. They do an excellent job staying on top of the increasing compliance required for each property, as well as finding me excellent tenants.
Fantastic experience: Had a great experience renting with College and county. The whole process was very smooth. The team is brilliant. Special thanks to Danielle, Sonali and Lauren, who were all very responsive and considerate. These guys really know what they are doing and they do it well.
Fantastic experience: I've now rented 2 properties with College and County and it has been such a smooth and supportive process. They are quick to respond when it comes to any enquiries, for example the staff were even available outside of working hours when I had an emergency. They are extremely professional and give a more human feel to the renting process, which is something I didn't experience when renting elsewhere.
Fantastic experience: The team has been very helpful both before and after moving into my new place. Everyone has been very kind and have been communicating very efficiently. Laura and Ines have been particularly helpful. Overall I would recommend College and County.
Fantastic experience: I'm very happy with the service offered by College and County. They are super responsive and take very good care of tenants. Ewelina Alves, who is the property manager of my house, is very efficient and has always helped to fix any maintenance issue that comes up.
Fantastic experience: College and County were excellent at providing all the necessary information for starting and finishing my tenancy. I really enjoyed my time staying at the property and they were really flexible for arranging my end of tenancy earlier than contracted as well! The process of ending the tenancy was really smooth and they provided recommended cleaners to make sure I could get the deposit back in full at the end.
Fantastic experience: I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to College and County and, in particular, Danielle for their exceptional service in helping my family find our dream home. At a time when we faced difficulties finding a suitable house to rent, their support and dedication made all the difference. From the very beginning, Danielle went above and beyond to understand our needs and preferences. Danielle worked diligently to secure the house with the landlord, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. Thanks to her efforts, we quickly settled into our new home without any issues. Throughout our stay, College and County remained responsive and attentive to any inquiries we had. Whether it was a small repair or a general question, they handled everything promptly and efficiently. I cannot recommend College and County enough for their outstanding service. They truly care about their clients and go the extra mile to ensure a positive experience. If you're looking for a letting agent that is reliable, friendly, and dedicated to finding you the perfect home, look no further! Thank you once again to Danielle and the entire College and County team for making our house-hunting journey an enjoyable and successful one.
Fantastic experience: I have had a wonderful experience so far in both finding and renting a property with College and County. The process was seamless and they were very quick to help with any query, and really took the time to explain everything to me. Everyone who I have spoken to in the office (on the phone or in person) has been very friendly and helpful; a special mention goes to Charmian Monroe who has really been there for me every step of the way with starting my new tenancy (from showing me around the property, answering any queries, being very reassuring, and fixing any issues extremely quickly). Thank you to the whole College and County team for making it a pleasure to rent with yourselves!
Fantastic experience: After dealing (unsuccessfully) with several other agents in Oxford, we had an overwhelmingly positive experience with College and County. The timings of our move were tighter than ideal, and the team at C+C acted especially quickly on our behalf, to make the process as easy as possible. All our enquiries have been replied to swiftly, and always with a helpful response. On the two occasions that we have been to the office in person we have been helped quickly and professionally by different members of the team. I wouldn't hesitate to deal with C+C again in the future, or recommend them to others; whereas I would actively avoid interacting with other Oxford estate agents that we have come across.
Fantastic experience: Very well organized and transparent letting agency. I rented my first house in Oxford through them. They typically reply to any email enquiries within one business day. Shout-out to Ines and Danielle for being so nice and for ensuring a smooth renting experience in this insane market.
Fantastic experience: College and County fully managed the tenancies on my property in Oxford for 9 years, and they did and absolutely excellent job. As I was based a long way from Oxford, it was extremely reassuring to know they could sort out everything in an efficient and very cost effective manner. I would highly recommend them to any prospective Landlords.
Fantastic experience: My experience with College and County has been very positive overall. They were very patient and at the same time they made sure that the process of renting a house went all-round smoothly. I overpaid some money for rent and Emma was wonderful about it, replying quickly and politely to my emails, and allowing me to get the money that I overpaid back. Thank you very much for a great service!
