Information For Landlords

    As you can hopefully see from the way we market our rental properties, this side of the business does not play second fiddle to our property sales. Since taking on our first fully managed property, on the first day of our doors being open, we have built up an impressive portfolio of high quality, fully managed properties across the region.

    As a true independent we can tailor our service to meet your individual needs, whether that be simply finding you the perfect tenant or full property management we have the expertise to ensure your requirements can be met.

    Due to this flexibility, our fee, depending on the level of service required does vary but what we can promise you is that our fees are completely transparent. There are simply no additional charges and we operate a strict "No Let, No Fee" service, so in the unlikely event we are unable to find you a tenant then you wouldn't owe us a penny.

    We see it as a great honour and a testament to the standard of service we provide that a substantial proportion of our new Landlords have come on board with us through a personal recommendation from one of our existing clients.

Information For Tenants

    At Oliver James we endeavour to match you with your ideal home. We are aware that it is not easy to take time of to view properties and given the speed at which rental properties are being let, waiting until the weekend is not always an option. That is why viewings are conducted until 6pm during the weekdays and 5pm on Saturdays.

    Tenants in our managed properties are provided with staff mobile numbers should out of hours contact be required and full check in and check out procedures are completed as standard.

    In order for a tenancy to proceed we will require referencing forms be completed for each adult who intends on living at the property. This will include a credit check, employer details and any previous Landlord or Letting agent reference. We will also require copies of photo identification and proof of residency.

    James Hodgson - Partner
    Although born in London James moved with his family to Cambridgeshire aged 5 and this is where the family has been based ever since. James went on to work for a local independent property management company in Huntingdon where he spent time in the lettings and property management departments. James established good contacts with many of the established tradespeople in the local area and this, along with his knowledge built up over the years, is afforded to all of Oliver James' clients. James currently lives in Huntingdon and has always had a passion for sport, especially football where he is in the unfortunate position of being a Newcastle United supporter, you can usually tell by his face on Monday morning whether they have won or lost over the weekend!

      Don't just take our word for it, see what some of our clients have had to say about the level of service they have received.....

    Testimonials from Landlords

    • Landlord Testimonial

      I could not have wished for a better service
      This agency were absolutely excellent. The property had been on the market for quite a while with a large agency - without any success. It was obviously just not important enough for the larger firm. Oliver contacted me, visited the property and started marketing. He kept me informed of progress every few days and then secured a new tenant. I could not have wished for a better service.

    • Landlord Testimonial

      knowledgeable and helpful
      Olly and James were both fantastic. Communication at every stage was first class and so knowledgeable and helpful. we will be coming back for any future tenants.

    • Landlord Testimonial

       have repeatedly exceeded my expectations
      I was looking for a agent who could relieve me of all the hassle of letting and managing a buy to let property. Oliver James have repeatedly exceeded my expectations. Well done!...

    • Landlord Testimonial

      consistently courteous, reliable and professional
      I have recently had the pleasure of using Oliver James to sell a property and set up another as a let. The service from start to finish has been impeccable, I couldn't have asked for more. Both Oliver and James are consistently courteous, reliable and professional, nothing has been too much for either of them, and they have gone out of their way to make the process as smooth as possible. From our first meeting I felt completely confident in their abilities, and as an added bonus they are both friendly, patient and utterly trustworthy, something which is all but unique in this business.

    Testimonials from Tenants

    • Tenant Testimonial

      excellent service, commitment and communication
      Consistently excellent service, commitment and communication from Oliver James throughout my tenancy, for even the most mundane of enquiries right through to bigger more important stuff. Seriously the most professional, efficient and also friendly letting agents I have encountered.

    • Tenant Testimonial

      the most helpful and accessible letting agents
      I cannot recommend the team enough. Having rented in a few properties in the UK and abroad they are easily the most helpful and accessible letting agents I have used. Communication is everything and I was not let down in anyway during the process.

    • Tenant Testimonial

      providing a high quality service
      Oliver James were acting as Landlord's agent during a recent office move. At all times they represented the landlord' position accurately and were extremely helpful to us as incoming tenants. They are a responsive and flexible team providing a high quality service. I would recommend them.

    • Tenant Testimonial

      handled very professionally and quickly
      I have been renting my property for the past year and have nothing but praise for both James and Oliver from OJ in Huntingdon. My initial enquiry and viewing were handled very professionally and quickly processed my application and to be honest, they set a level of customer service that can only be aspired to by most of the agents I have used in the past. Having just checked out of the property and experienced exactly the same levels of care, I will certainly recommend OJ to any of friends that are looking to rent in the area and they will be my first call when I am back in the area and looking for a new tenancy.
