Abingdon lettings agency

The Abingdon office is in the centre of town just off the main high street, opposite the Co-op.

Our office has been trading since January 2010 and we cover Abingdon, Didcot, Wallingford and Wantage and we have good knowledge about the areas.

 We work closely with the Oxford office, sharing customer leads and local knowledge to improve the quality of service we can offer our tenants and landlords.

Live and rent in Abingdon

Abingdon is a vibrant market town in Oxfordshire, Southern England.  It’s been occupied for over 6000 years and claims to be one of the oldest towns in Britain.  Of course with age comes tradition and to this day the town upholds some of these.  Bun throwing is probably one of the most peculiar; on specific days of celebration the town dignitaries throw buns from the County Hall. There is also a town crier, who shouts the town's news to the Saturday morning crowds.

 

In the summer this year there will be roaring festivals, exciting steet parties and a dashing ball to celebrate the Queen's Diamon Jubilee. We will also be eagarly awaiting the 2012 Olympic torch to pass through Abingdon on the 10th of July, with a crowd of supporters and some of our own getting to run with the torch.

 

Abingdon now has two hours free parking in any Vale Of White Horse carpark, to attract more visitors into this vibrant and friendly town. For 2012 the Abingdon council have invested £4 million on a new and more modern shopping centre, which is planning to go ahead for later on this year. And we hope it will brighten up the centre dramatically.

 

There are some excellent pubs and restaurants catering for all tastes in Abingdon and there are good bus links to the Oxford with late night buses running from Oxford to Abingdon and the surrounding area.

 

There are several major scientific employers in Abingdon including the Diamond Light Source Synchrotron.  At £260m it is the largest UK funded scientific facility to be built for over 40 years, with many spin off businesses creating employment throughout the area.  With many key employers located in our area there are employment opportunities in many professional fields, and for commuters there is easy access to London, either by car via the M40 or M4, or by rail.  The Didcot High Speed Rail line takes just 40 minutes to get into London Paddington.

 

Demand for one/two bedroom properties is always greatest  in our territory, but there is a healthy turnover of all property.  Our landlords range from the professionals who buy to let, to those who cannot sell their property and have realised that letting it can offer a real alternative source of income.  We are happy to offer advice and a great service whatever your situation.
