Why appoint Oakfield to manage your property

Dedicated property manager

From when you appoint Oakfield to let and manage your property you will be allocated a dedicated property manager that person will be your main point of contact for the duration Oakfield manage your property. They will know your property and love nothing more than building relationships with our Landlords and Tenants. We believe this is one of the true things that sets Oakfield apart from our competitors

Accounts team

Working alongside our property managers is the accounts team, a team specifically dedicated to make sure our Landlords get their rents the same day they are paid. In the unfortunate event that rental arrears should occur the accounts team are there to work seamlessly between our Landlords and Tenants to ensure that missed payments are caught up.

Compliance & Protection

At Oakfield we put compliance and transparency with our Clients at the forefront, we are members of ARLA Propertymark the Governing body for letting agents as well as safe agent so our Landlords and Tenants know that the money held by us is protected in accordance with Client money protection legislation at all times. Furthermore in the unfortunate event you do have a complaint regarding our services our membership with the Property Ombudsman gives our Clients the option to choose for the matter to be investigated independently.
