Lucy and Chelsea were super amazing

Lucy and Chelsea were super amazing. They are the nicest and most professional estate agents I have ever encountered.

first time landlord

Lucy and her team were thorough and prompt in sorting out what was needed to let our dear home. It was our first time letting our first time home, so you may imagine we were sentimentally attached. Lucy and her team supported us throughout the journey, and we felt confident in their expertise.

Great Experience

Chelsea and Helen at Penny & Sinclair made finding a new house to rent effortless. The whole experience was seamless from start to finish. They proactively assisted us in finding a suitable property and were flexible with viewings. They answered all our questions quickly, and we are now all moved in without an issue. We would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to rent in the area.

We have rented out our apartment in Oxford

We worked with Penny Sinclair for the last year and their customer service has been exceptional from the very first interaction. They provide excellent advice and are knowledgeable and continually update us about legal changes. They respond and resolve quickly any issue and are thoroughly professional. Highly recommend them.

A swift process with a great experience. Chelsea is a star. Always available, she provided special documents that my case required without any delay, even though their nature was not standard! Top quality.

Rebecca Shaw managed the property I rented for over three years and was nothing short of incredible. She handled every issue with professionalism and efficiency, often resolving problems within 24 hours. Her dedication and attention to detail made the entire rental experience completely stress-free. I highly recommend her!

I am so impressed with my experience selling my flat with Penny and Sinclair in Summertown. The brochure produced was well written, with great photos and floor plan, and turned round very quickly. From start to finish Sean Herdman-Low at Penny Sinclair has been a pleasure to work with, from suggesting a sensible, honest price for the property, to being so proactive in both finding good buyers and then ensuring that the sale progressed well, keeping communication flowing between myself, the buyer and the solicitors. When away, Sean’s excellent colleague Sophie Kaylor stood in, ensuring there was never any lag in the process. I would definitely use this company again, and am happy to recommend them, based on my own experience.

Penny & Sinclair is the number 1 on my recommendation list - that position had been vacant until I started to work with them early this year. Working with P&S has been an absolute pleasure - all the members on their team are very professional, organised, particularly nice and respectful. I believe they have a special company culture - something secrete that makes every aspect of renting most efficient, relaxed, and heartwarming. Both Chelsea (Senior Lettings Negotiator) for renting the property and communication with the landlord, as well as Rebecca (Senior Property Manager) for the maintenance issues have been most supportive. The colleagues for out-of-hour service always give the best advice and deal with any emergency in a timely manner.

I've been renting through Penny and Sinclair, with Rebecca Shaw as our property manager, for nine months now. The company is exactly what you would hope for in a letting agency. Every time something has come up (when we wanted to paint, when there was a mould issue that required some repairs, when the washing machine broke down), Penny and Sinclair has not only responded quickly, but also sorted out the situation in a very timely manner. Very happy with this company!

Thank you Penny and Sinclair

We've been rental tenants with Penny and Sinclair for several years and Joanne, our property manager, has always been excellent. If we've ever needed to report a problem, she responds promptly and works with our overseas landlord to get things fixed. Having had my fair share of rental horror stories, it's lovely to be with an agency that genuinely cares about it's tennants and it's landlords.

Responsive, kind and professional

Everyone we have been in contact with from Penny & Sinclair have been kind, helpful, responsive, and clear in their communication. The interactions have been very smooth, and this has made both moving in and out almost completely stress-free.

I have recently purchased a property in Oxford. From viewing to completion to after-completion care, the team of Sean, Deborah, Alice and Jack worked extremely hard to ensure the process as smooth as possible. I would recommend them to friends, and have no doubt in recommending them to anyone who would sell or buy a property in Oxford.

Penny & Sinclair was managing my house in Oxford for short rental . In 6 month, I was charged a lot of cleaning fees and also my payment for them to manage the property. When I got my house back it was really dirty and disgusting. I sent photos to them and never got any response. I would not recommend them as they charge a lot but don't really look after your property.

Mariana · 29 October 2023

Agent replied · 24 August 2024

We are sorry to hear that you were unhappy with the service you received from the short let department. We have looked at the correspondence and we believe there has been some misunderstanding regarding the short let costs and the end of booking process and are sorry this is the case. Our Lettings Director Lucy Lawton Smith would be very happy to discuss this in more detail. Please feel free to contact her lucy@pennyandsinclair.co.uk

Landlords avoid if you want client service

Despite being a loyal client of Penny & Sinclair their lettings service / property management has become untrustworthy - wrong dates on tenancy agreements (they indicate their landlord clients should correct errors - surely there shouldn’t be errors in the first instance? not least dates of tenancy!) reduced frequency of property inspections (their terms of business (professional obligations) stipulate inspection frequency which has not been adhered to), shortfall on tenancy deposit (the tenancy deposit does not represent 5 weeks of rent which landlords should be protected with) leaving landlors exposed if there is property damage that could potentially be at least partly protected (stating it’s “not their policy” to check the tenancy deposit amount), prolonged response times that need chasing, trying to excuse it all with a “heavy workload”! Over £1k in property management fees for a year and all I received as a landlord was two property inspections which I even had to ask to take place. Landlords look elsewhere if you want reliable service and accurate tenancy deposit protection.

We are sorry to see your review and understand the issues raised are now being handled by Director of the business.Whilst we acknowledge and apologise that the amount of property visits was lower than expected, your review suggests we did not meet our professional and legal obligations, which is not the case. It is not standard practice to re-reference a tenant at the point of renewal. In this case the tenant had been paying on time for the last three years. It is not legal requirement to increase the deposit in line with rent increases, A deposit of 5 weeks deposit is already held for the tenancy and based on the property visits carried out, there was no expectation that deposit deductions at the end of the tenancy would exceed the amount of deposit already registered. Draft contracts are always sent to landlords to approve before they are sent to the tenants, which gives the opportunity for any errors to be rectified, this happened on this occasion and the tenant received a correct document. We take all feedback seriously and our Director of Lettings will be in touch to discuss all of these points in more detail with you. We wish you well with any future tenancies”

We have recently bought a house via Penny & Sinclair, Summertown. There were a number of difficulties up the chain in our purchase and Kate was excellent, tenaciously handling every problem, holding the chain together and keeping everyone informed. I can't praise her highly enough.

Best Renting Experience in Oxford So Far

I had an excellent experience working with this agency. The communication was always clear, transparent and timely, which made the whole process much easier to navigate. I viewed properties with several different agencies over the past three weeks, and this team stood out as the most professional and well organised.

The worst letting agents in Oxford. They will bully you out of the house because they want more money. Repairs are done few years after reporting. They don’t care about tenants, they don’t listen when I explained my circumstances. They will falsely accuse tenants for breaching contract but they took their time (3 years) to repair leaking water through the lightbulb. Never again!!
