Testimonials

We decided to live abroad and let our lovely house in Oxford. We wanted our home in good hands. Laura is simply the best person we could find to do the job. It was already July, quite late to find tenants and fix the house for mid-August. With her structured approach, we could tackle in no time all regulatory compliance activities, complete improvement works, and find a nice family to rent our house. Laura’s deep knowledge of the Oxfordshire rental market as well as her extended network of reactive tradesmen to fix plumbing, painting etc is just outstanding. She follows every step of the project thoroughly, provides competitive prices to keep the budget as low as possible, and above all respects milestones! Laura is extremely enthusiastic about her job; her problem-solving skills and positive attitude take out a lot of stress from “newbie landlord” wanting to let their house.  Her job does not stop when the rental contract is signed. She regularly looks after the tenants and develops a good relationship to keep issues as small as possible. We highly recommend Laura and hope you will have the chance to work with her.

Finding Positive Property when we were looking for a place to live in Oxford was a great stroke of luck. The personal and friendly approach that Laura provides formed quite a contrast with the hard sell of many other/larger agents. She took an genuine interest in what we needed and has provided positive help and support from the outset. She has freely shared her intimate knowledge of (and affection for) the area and its facilities. In addition to the personal touch PP have also brought great professionalism, expertise and attention to detail. I would recommend them to anyone without hesitation.

Positive experience from start to finish. What an amazing find! When we moved to Oxford 3 years ago, we thought we would never have to rent again. We love our house but essential work needed to be done on it and who knew there was going to be a global pandemic! We needed a six month let while our building work was undertaken and one of our neighbours suggested Laura Ridge at Positive Property Management. I liked the name, I'm a positive person and I'd seen the boards up.  Laura, thank you for matching us to our let on the Cowley Road - we've never been treated with such care and attention to our needs.  I can positively say that Positive Property Management is your first call - even in a global pandemic!

I'd like to say thanks for being such a responsive and approachable manager for our house at Sunningwell Road this year. I speak on behalf of myself and my housemates to say we all have had a fantastic experience living in the property and it was made that much easier by your management of the house. I wish you nothing but the best with your company.  I recommended your company to colleagues at my last employment who are interested in moving to Oxford.  So, thank you and keep doing what you are doing!

I write to thank you for the excellent way in which your firm secured a new tenant for my property. I was particularly impressed with the steps you took to make sure the property was quickly ready to let and thus shown to its best advantage, e.g. sorting out the garden, acquiring an excellent new wardrobe, getting windows cleaned inside and out - what a difference that made! Getting all the necessary certificates in place very quickly and securing a tenant almost immediately. I would not hesitate in recommending Positive Property Management. 

Many thanks for your help in finding a new home in Oxford.  I really appreciate your kindness and the personal touch is so important in this hectic world. 

As a tenant seeking accommodation, you are often met with agents who treat you as if you are a number. Finding a home is an exhausting and emotional process and Laura was not only extremely professional, she took it one step further to make us feel as if were truly taken care of. I’ve not seen like service from any other agent. Thank you, Laura, for your graceful and trustworthy approach.

Positive Property Management very quickly found a suitable tenant for me for a residential property in Oxford and they continue to provide an efficient and courteous service with full management services on my behalf.

I had asked Laura to find some investment residential properties in the Oxford area that would make a good rental yield with capital growth. Laura clearly has an excellent knowledge of the Oxfordshire rental and house-purchase market and where the areas are for maximising investment opportunity. She provided several options, one of which I purchased and the returns have been excellent. Laura assisted with required improvement works, and advised on negotiation, achieving a reduced purchase price. (She even had the foresight to consider the benefits of stable tenants already in the property). I have had the minimum of fuss to achieve this rental purchase and Laura continues to provide advice on regulatory compliance to my residential letting business. I found Laura to be highly professional, prompt on promises and reliable and to have great integrity in the business she offers.

I have had a great experience working with Positive Property Management. Laura is very pleasant to deal with. She is prompt in responding to questions, issues and requests and resolves issues with fairness and quick solutions. I would highly recommend working with her to find or manage your rental property.

Laura has been an amazing property manager. I was lucky to rent one of her newly renovated 1-bed flats. The flat was renovated to really high-quality standards, and when I experienced minor issues which were resolved instantly usually within the next day. Laura has been the most friendly and approachable manager I've ever had.  I felt very reassured and supported throughout my tenancy and I would absolutely recommend Laura to anyone!

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at St Luke’s Road, Oxford where Laura managed the property. Since this was my first time living on my own, it was extremely reassuring to meet her and to know that she would be looking after my flat. While living at St Luke’s, I experienced minimal problems. Any issues I did have were resolved swiftly, usually within a day or two, and with constant communication throughout. Lastly, when it came to the end of the tenancy, the checkout process was smooth and secure and I was never in any doubt that my deposit was in safe hands. I would absolutely recommend Laura to anyone!
