Services
Established in 2003, we traded very successfully for 10 years under license in the name of a well known local planning practice, our objective being to build alongside our residential and lettings and management businesses, a reputation within the land and new homes sector. In 2014 we then joined forces, again under license, with a well known Cotswolds based agency business.
Managing Director and one of the founding members of the precursor to WEST-The Property Consultancy in 2003. Gavin has had a high profile 35 year agency career, from international agency to the privilege of owning his own local business. He lives in Oxford, loves and understands it, educates his daughter here and believes it to be one of the most dynamic city's in the world in which to live.

Since creating the business in 2003, we've been renowned for highly creative marketing that differentiates your property investment from the crowd and this is one of the reasons that 77% of our business comes purely from that critical source - Recommendation.

From our start in 2003, trading alongside an Oxfordshire based planning and development surveying practice, we established a reputation for our specialisation in the Land and New Homes markets.
Acting for national and local developer clients along the way, we have forged a reputation as the go to agency for high quality "niche-market" developments, achieving a high level of "off plan" sales success, given our infinitely more personnel approach to service.

At WEST-The Property Consultancy, we have partnered with savvy online auctioneers Whoobid to provide a finessed, easy and transparent way of selling your property. If you need to guarantee a sale by a specific time and/or have a property which you feel may be specifically suited to a sale by auction, we would be delighted to advise you and obviously discuss the process in more detail.

I've rented from West as private tenants in Oxford for just over 2 years. This is by far one of the best letting agents I have used. They are honest, transparent, highly professional, and overall pleasant to work with. All maintenance issues have been addressed really quickly and to a great standard. They have also provided an excellent channel of communication between us and the landlords, which is something that is really important for both sides of every tenancy agreement.
If an opportunity arises in the future, I would not hesitate to go to West either as a tenant or owner. I would highly

Thank you so much for the support and expertise in selling my house. It was a complicated process and you handled it with efficiency and professionalism. Thank you in particular to Julia Silas who was wonderful, and Nikki for her determination to get the sale through!

We've just finished renting with West in Wantage, and I really wanted to add a review to say how great they have been as a company to deal with.
I have NEVER said that about any letting agency before - normally they're a load of crooks, and as a renter you feel that they are very strongly biased towards the landlord. At West you felt like they were looking after the interests of both parties, which, when you are spending over £15K per year through them, seems only fair.
Happier tennants are better tenants, so this approach works as well for landlords as for renters. Everyone's a winner.

West The Property Consultancy has managed a rental property for me for the last few years and have provided excellent service. Chris in particular has dealt with some tricky situations as well as the more mundane maintenance issues yet somehow stayed professional throughout despite some frustrating times, keeping me fully informed all the way through.

Have been with WEST for a year now and am really happy.
Contract preparation:
The documentation provided was clear and it was easy navigate through the renting process. In preparation of the contract, all interactions happened via email and the agent was flexible with some of the requests from our side.
Communication:
The faults report web system is very good, makes it easy to track submitted reports and follow up as you have the knowledge collected in a single place. Everything overall is digital and handy; the monthly rent payment receipts are digital, contract signing is digital as well

We had sold our family home with West Consultancy back in 2017 and it was such a good experience, when it came to selling my mother’s home it was an easy decision. Again they handled the sale faultlessly and sold it in days, it’s not like the other big estate agents. It’s a far more personal service with a small team of dedicated professionals handling your sale. Great service and always with a smile! I would thoroughly recommend West Consultancy to anyone looking to sell a property, you will have a great experience!

I have used West as my property agent for over five years and have been very happy with the service that they have provided both to me and to my tenants.
Wests have always been quick to reply to any contact that I or the tenants have had any reason to speak with them about.
Wests have dealt with any issue appropriately. Their manner is pleasant and helpful at all times.
I would always be delighted to recommend West.

We have used West to manage our two properties since we purchased the first one over 6 years ago and they have always been excellent. Gareth in the Oxford office has supported us through some of the hurdles of being Landlords and always given us first class advice which we appreciate. Chris and the Wantage team who we liaise with on a regular basis are efficient, professional and extremely accommodating. We have been approached by another Management Company in the past but would not go anywhere else as we genuinely believe we could not get a better service.
