If you are moving to, or have recently moved to Oxford, you will understand how daunting and exhaustive navigating the rental market can be. Trawling through countless listings, phone call after phone call, viewing after viewing, disappointment after disappointment. Rental prices are angst provokingly high and there is an inherent fear of not knowing what you are getting yourself into. Plus, you are probably also trying to settle into a new job or university, all while sleeping on someone’s couch – there is likely a lot going on for you at this rather stressful moment in your life, compounded further by trying to find somewhere to live. Having just moved to the UK myself, this was largely my experience too. What made it easier however, was working together with Breckon & Breckon. I am grateful for the efforts of Ashleigh Swales and the Breckon & Breckon team who were able to guide me through this transition – finding a home, working through the paperwork and contracts, answering questions and providing guidance in a manner that was kind and professional; sensitive to the needs of someone to whom the city and rental market are so foreign. Working closely with Ashleigh has helped to reduce the anxiety of moving, and her work has enabled me to refocus my energy on what is otherwise an exciting new adventure in my life. I look forward to a positive relationship with Ashleigh and the team throughout the duration of my tenancy and time in Oxford, and I can definitely recommend contacting her should you also find yourself in need of some friendly support during this new and exciting phase of your life.
