Busy busy busy

We haven't blogged for a while because we have been rushed off our feet!

I pass other agent's windows and see them sat there drinking coffee and surfing while I'm running around like the proverbial blue ar*** fly. What gives? There is a whisper out there that the infamous FKL are feeling the wind of Bluedoor's change a bit fiercely and no matter how often they say that they are the best in Oxfordshire a few of our new landlords beg to differ. Tee hee hee.

We have bought 3 new properties on behalf of a landlord which will be ready to let in a month or so, we have managed the renovation of an amazing and historic apartment in Oxford, moved some pilots into a gorgeous 3 storey place in Kidlington and taken on 3 properties so far this week among other things.

Happy, happy landlords and happy, happy tenants. Wouldn't you be happy if you lived in a castle with a view like this from your own balcony?

Here's the castle and that's the balcony. Back in the old days it was a knockin' shop; the current residents are delightful and work for large multinational companies!

It needed a bit of brightening up to be re-let. Look no kitchen.....

.........WOW! Great work by Malcolm. Thanks

Speaking of wow and cool things - have you ever wished that you could get into the shower and not have to fiddle around getting it to the perfect temperature? If you have then you need to rent this townhouse in Vintner's Place from us.

It has shower controls outside the shower on the bathroom wall so that you can set the temperature while you do other things and when you get under the water it is just how you like it. The dials glow blue so if you are a VW fan you'll love it - that and the magic lights that come on when you enter the rooms. Spooky the first time you experience it I can tell you!!!

Bluedoor in Bicester?

Why not?

Bluedoor is set to open in Bicester in the next month or two so if you have a propety in the north of Oxfordshire and thought that it would be too much trouble even for an agent such as ourselves to drive all the way out to you then do get in touch with us now.

Our Bicester agents will be as unusual as the Abingdon lot. Evening viewings, Sunday meetings with new landlords, answering the phone whilst eating our breakfast (sorry we do slurp our milk sometimes!) We are here when you want us and hope you like us that way.

Happy New Year

We have been busy over the New Year with viewings and people moving in. This lovely lady sent us a kind email even though we couldn't find her the perfect property this week.

Dear Greg,

The house was a bit big, expensive and too carpeted for me. What I liked and what you can perhaps find in another house for me was that it was OK for pets and close to the centre of town and the bus route on which I will be depending.
So please keep on looking. I would prefer somewhere without carpets, at least downstairs - we had a chat about that didn't we?
I have found you to be an unusual agent until now, working all sorts of odd hours, and looking after my little dog. So perhaps you'll come up with the unusual house for me!


Unusual! We're glad to hear it!

If you know me you will know that I always have a fountain pen in at least one of my pockets and that I love pens and stationery. I have had a variety of different pens to promote the business and the latest batch is the best yet. Our kids love them and one friend thinks its so cool he has used it too much!

Hi mate

My light pen has run out! Have you got any more?

Regards Joe

I'll post a photo later but if you want one to try for yourself give me a ring on 01235 524800 and I'll send you one.

Christmas is coming and the feet are getting cold

This is the fireplace where the lovely Mr and Ms P will be warming themselves just in time for Christmas.

This property is so good that it comes with a fully kitted out miniature house in the garden - a much better escape from the madness than the traditional shed!

Their landlords Mr and Mrs P (different 'P' honest!) will have their rent minus our very reasonable fee before Christmas too - what a bonus. We pay 'out' on the same day the tenants pay 'in' wherever possible.

Check out our fees on the Services page at www.bdea.co.uk and see the difference
