Lettings
Wheatley Estates have been letting local properties for decades.
Wheatley and the surrounding areas are very much in demand by tenants. With easy access to the City of Oxford and great commuter links to London it’s seen as a very desirable area for professionals and families who still want a more rural, village lifestyle.

For landlords we offer a tenant find or full property management service that will allow you to let your property for long or short leases, finding you the best tenants and handling the entire process.
