THE DIFFERENCE

£0 to £0 more per year

and you don't have to think about any of it.

The band reflects property quality, current room rents, and the bills picture for your area. We hold area-specific and room-specific data on bills (council tax band, utilities, broadband, cleaners, gardeners) and we plug your actual numbers in for the live offer. The ceiling is what we'd offer on a strong, well-maintained property in a good Oxford location. The floor is where we'd land on something that needs more work or sits in a softer spot. Either way, the cheque is fixed monthly.

Where the numbers come from
  • Bills baseline (council tax, water, gas, electric, broadband, TV, cleaner, gardener, maintenance reserve): Real per-property averages from our own 9-HMO portfolio across OX2, OX3 and OX4. Refreshed annually from our Overall Finance Matrix. The live offer uses the specific bills picture for your property and area, not the portfolio average.
  • HMO licence: Oxford City Council mandatory HMO licence £3,190 from 1 April 2026, 5-year licence amortised at £638/yr. The landlord pays this under either route, so it shows on both sides for honesty. Source.
  • Council tax (HMO): HMOs treated as single dwellings since December 2023, landlord liable. Source.
  • Letting agent fees: 12% inc VAT typical for full HMO management in Oxford. Independent letting agent surveys 2026.
  • Agent's 10% arrangement fee: 10% (12% inc VAT) administration fee on maintenance and compliance works is standard practice across UK letting agents. Source.
  • Maintenance under standard agent: £1,200 per room per year, mid-range of UK HMO research (£1,000 to £1,500). Source.
  • Residual landlord costs under guaranteed rent: Building insurance and maintenance issues over £350 per issue. Estimated £1,200/yr based on Oxford HMO building insurance quotes plus 1 to 2 larger maintenance items per year.
