Why Finders Keepers?
  • paragraph

    Finders Keepers is a letting agency established in 1972. Nearly 50 years later Finders Keepers still holds strong to its founding values to deliver a highly professional service, offer tenants the best properties in the market and act with integrity to build long-term relationships.

    We believe in providing the best service for both landlords and tenants. We try to make the letting process as easy for the tenant as possible.

    • Branches: we have eight offices covering Oxfordshire and the surrounding areas.
    • Email: to make sure you don't miss the perfect property you can register on our website and be notified the moment a suitable property becomes available, or on any changes in rent.
    • Local area: we list all Oxfordshire school catchment areas for each property, and you can even search for property by the catchment area of a school. We also list the 10 closest gyms for each property, and The Navigator lists our staff's hand-picked tips. We love where we live and we want you to enjoy it too.
    • Applying: once you have found a property you like you can apply online. We will then reference each tenant before drawing up the tenancy agreement and having all parties sign it. You will then pay the first month's rent and deposit before moving in.
    • Contact: for all managed properties, a Finders Keepers Property Manager will be your point of contact throughout your tenancy. They are local, hands-on and empowered to solve problems. We also have a 24/7 emergency line, which is manned by a member of staff, not outsourced to a call centre.
    • Check-in / Check-out: at the start of your tenancy we arrange an appointment to explain all the appliances and help you settle into your home. At the end of the tenancy, your Property Manager visits your home and goes through the inventory to confirm that everything is in good order before arranging the deposit refund.

Our people make the business
  • Introduction

    Which is why we invest heavily in training. Each person has a bespoke training plan, and 97 percent of our staff is ARLA Propertymark qualified. Propertymark Qualifications winning Employer champion of the Year (2022).

    Our 8 offices each have an Office Manager, Letting Managers, Property Managers, Administrators, and an on-site client accountant. We also have furnishing and building divisions and an investment service with their own 'Office Manager'.

    All Office Managers have managed their own portfolio of properties - excellence has to start at the top. We will not appoint an Office Manager until they have had experience managing a team of properties for a year.

    Our letting staff are not on commission - we want the focus to be on the quality of tenant rather than a false economy of putting a tenant in an unsuitable property.

    Property Managers are hands-on and have their own portfolio of properties. The benefit is that they know the history of the property and can build relationships and trust with the landlord, which is at the heart of good service.

    Our company values are: Expert, Dynamic & Scrupulous.

      Qualified, experienced, friendly and approachable
      "We have been with Finders Keepers since 2007, managing our house in Oxfordshire while we have been based overseas. They are qualified, experienced, friendly and approachable . Emma and her team provide a standard of service that is excellent: we own and let other properties in London, and the user experience and level of interaction we have from Finders Keepers compared to our managing agents in the city is like night and day. They care about the welfare of our house, their attention to detail is strong and, most importantly, genuinely attempt to interact with us in a way that gives us complete confidence that our interests are being taken care of. Well done Finders Keepers Banbury!"

      I would not hesitate to recommend them!
      "I have had a long relationship with Finders over the last 11 years. They have always been friendly, helpful and thorough in managing my properties. They look after the tenants, ensure repairs are done promptly and keep the properties' values intact by recommending when upgrades are necessary. Voids are few and far between and issues are dealt with pragmatically. They really care about doing a good job for both the tenant and landlord. I would not hesitate to recommend them!"

      Andrew Griffiths, landlord

    • Landlord Testimonial

      The entire staff is passionate about the company

      It was apparent that the entire staff is passionate about the company and strives to provide the best possible service for their clients. The detail on the check-out notes was impressive and clients are allocated a designated Property Manager enabling all involved to build a strong relationship and enjoy exemplary communication"

    Testimonials from Tenants

    • Tenant Testimonial

      I've always been impressed with your service
      "I've always been very happy and impressed with your service - you deal with any issues quickly, the letting process was smooth and painless, and your staff friendly and helpful."

      Banbury tenant
    • Tenant Testimonial

      There is truly no comparison

      Through this painful and stressful process of relocating to the UK with my family, the help, support and guidance I have received from everyone in your team has been priceless to us, and I have honestly felt like I was your only and most valuable client all the way through. I have never had the privilege of receiving such a perfect service from any company I have contacted in the past, and there is truly no comparison with the other letting agencies in Oxfordshire I have contacted through this process; it's just a different planet in respect of commitment to your clients."

      Francisco Hevia, tenant

    • Tenant Testimonial

      I was greatly impressed with the speed of response

      "Thanks for the fantastic service you provide. When I originally contacted Finders Keepers I was greatly impressed with the speed of response - I think I saw properties and agreed the tenancy in under a week from initial contact. Since then your help and advice has been a shining beacon in a sea of mediocrity. Most other agents seem to treat prospective tenants as second class citizens. When I contacted a competitor about rentals it took a week for any response. Well done."

      Marcus Rann, tenant

    • Tenant Testimonial

      Quite possibly my favourite place
      "Extremely helpful and professional. They listened carefully to my fairly specific requirements when I was looking for a rental property and saved me time by being honest about any properties I expressed interest in that they thought wouldn't be right for me, cutting down on the number of unnecessary viewings I made. When the right property came to market soon after our initial discussions they made sure I was first to see it and processed all the paperwork swiftly. Aftercare has been thorough, with minor maintenance matters dealt with swiftly and professionally. It is quite possibly my favourite place I have ever lived! -- Many thanks to Clare and Emma and all in the office."

      Steve Blackmore, tenant
    • Tenant Testimonial

      I always found Finders Keepers very helpful

      "I always found Finders Keepers very helpful and always quick to respond. Any problems I had in the house I rented were solved competently and efficiently and in a very friendly manner."

      Victoria Cairns, tenant

    • Tenant Testimonial

      You are the best property manager that I have had

      Thanks very much for all your help. Not just in the preparation for the handover, but for the entire duration of my tenancy. You have, without doubt, been the best property manager that I have had (and I've been renting for 26 years)!"

      Mark Burgess, tenant

    • Tenant Testimonial
