Lettings demand still outpaces supply in Oxfordshire 

Oxfordshire’s Q2 letting report shows continued strong demand for well-presented, accurately priced rental homes, even as listings tick up slightly. Supply remains short of demand, giving landlords the edge, provided they price and present effectively. 

What tenants are looking for this season 

Properties under £1,500 per month in prime postcodes around Witney and Eynsham receive the most interest. Features like parking, outdoor space and flexibility in move-in dates are increasingly influencing decisions among working professionals and families. 

Tips to reduce voids and secure rent 

• List early: Ideally 4–6 weeks before the current tenancy ends to catch advance searches. 

• Offer move-in flexibility: Summer is unpredictable offering flexible start dates can reduce voids. 

• Price intelligently: Slightly adjusting rent to reflect current comparable properties helps secure quick lets. 

• Freshen the presentation: A clean, decluttered property with summer-light photos gets better interest.
