Let’s face it — being a landlord isn’t always smooth sailing.
Void periods, tricky tenancies, rising compliance demands, unexpected maintenance issues… it can sometimes feel like a never-ending cycle, especially in a shifting rental market.
But the right letting agent can completely change the game — not just by finding tenants, but by taking the stress and uncertainty out of the process entirely.
When Landlording Feels Like Too Much
We recently received a heartfelt review from one of our landlords that reminded us exactly why we do what we do. Here’s what they shared:
“A few months ago, I was in a bad place as a landlord. I desperately wanted to get off the BTL merry-go-round, but I couldn’t sell. I felt as if the walls were closing in on me until along came Jenny Atabey (Senior Lettings Manager at Oakfield, Hastings).
I exaggerate not when I say that Jenny has been my saviour. Her positivity and professionalism, combined with her EXCEPTIONAL communication skills have been such a breath of fresh air.
Simply put, Jenny has taken the pain out of the whole process of getting my property re-tenanted. She has expertly guided and supported me to a place where I’m once again excited about landlording… Jenny is a lady who not only knows her stuff, but clearly enjoys her job – making her a joy to work with. She is an absolute credit to her industry and Oakfield are VERY lucky to have her!”
It’s a powerful reminder that for many landlords, the challenges go far beyond paperwork — they can feel personal, overwhelming, and isolating.
That’s where we come in.

At Oakfield, we believe great letting agents aren’t just box-tickers — they’re problem-solvers, people-first communicators, and true allies to the landlords they represent.
Here’s how we support landlords just like this one:
-

Proactive tenant sourcing
Whether you’re letting out a single flat or managing a portfolio, we act fast to secure qualified tenants and minimise void periods. -

Bringing Confidence Back to Lettings
This landlord’s journey from stressed to re-energised isn’t unique.
Many landlords — especially in today’s challenging market — are facing burnout, uncertainty, or are stuck with properties they can’t sell. It can be lonely and frustrating.
But with the right support, it’s possible to feel confident, in control, and even excited about being a landlord again.
That’s our mission at Oakfield.
