Contact Brookes Lettings

We are currently looking for landlords to join the Brookes Lettings portfolio for the academic year starting in September. 

Brookes Lettings aims to lease quality properties to let to our students. When you lease your property to us, we become your tenant, taking on all the associated responsibilities. This means you don’t have to worry about finding tenants and your rent is guaranteed. We also ensure any issues are managed, damages are sorted out and we help keep you compliant with legislation.

You can either keep control of the maintenance of the property (‘part managed’), or we have our own staff and contractors who can do it for you (‘full-managed’).

Our interest is in ensuring our students can access safe housing for them to undertake their studies, not turning a profit. We won’t charge you any extra fees or administration costs.

Brookes Lettings

Why choose Brookes Lettings?

There are some great reasons to let your property through us:

  • As a Higher Education Institution (HEI), our tenancies fall outside of the some aspects of recent legislation, meaning that we can continue to issue fixed-term tenancies, removing the uncertainty and risk of letting to students.

  • We guarantee your rent: you won't be out of pocket if tenants don't pay or leave your property.

  • We protect your property: we inspect all properties regularly and ensure they are kept in good order.

  • We will find tenants for you: Oxford Brookes University has over 17,000 students, and we do all the work to find students to live in your property.

  • We manage the tenants: we will sort out any issues with the tenants.

  • Any damages will be reimbursed: you don't have to worry about deducting any money from deposits, claims can be made directly from us.

  • 24 hour maintenance service: if there is an emergency at your property, we have staff on hand to deal with it 24 hours a day.

  • We won't charge you any hidden costs: you will get a monthly rent payment from us, and we won't charge you any additional management or administrative fees.

  • Expert help: we are on hand to help you with any issues that come up so that things run smoothly.

How our tenancies work

The University is in the unique position to be able to continue to issue fixed-term student tenancies due to an exemption for higher education establishments under current legislation. Our approach is to lease properties from owners under a fixed-term, then sub-let them to our students.
