The Launch 2026

We will be launching our properties in phases this year:

5+ bedroom properties: from 9am on Tuesday 17th November 2026
3 & 4 bedroom properties: from 9am on Tuesday 24^th November 2026

Before these dates, you and your co-sharers will need to pre-register here (hosted in SurveyMonkey). Please note the importance of ensuring your guarantor has read the referencing criteria before you apply for a property with Finders Keepers. If you don’t have a UK-based guarantor, you are able to purchase Guarantor+ insurance through Zero Deposit (a trading name of Global Property Ventures Limited).

Please note that applications and requests for viewings are in person only on a first come first served basis at our Shared Letting office, 27 St Clements Street, Oxford, OX4 1AB.

We have staggered our property launch to prevent long wait times, and we discourage queueing ahead of the launch date.

We will not accept requests for viewings or applications before this date and our phone lines will not be active during the Launch period.

Next steps

Before 17th November

1. Decide who you want to live with and therefore how many rooms you will need and also consider your budget and preferred area of Oxford.

2. Nominate a 'lead tenant' (see below for more detail on this)

3. You will be able to preview available properties on our website and other property portals from 23rd October onwards. Our properties have full descriptions, photos, floor plans and EPCs available to view online. Many of our properties also have a video tour; we recommend you view the marketing material available online with your group and have a shortlist of 3 favourite properties before you visit the office on Launch date.

On the day of The Launch

Applying for a property:

1. A refundable holding deposit must be paid upon application - see our Guide to Renting for the circumstances under which the deposit may be retained. Please remember that the holding deposit must be paid in one sum from the lead tenant's bank account (and not from a third party's account).

2. Each applicant must complete a declaration form (this will be emailed to you at the point of application, or you can complete a copy in the office).

3. Each applicant must supply the appropriate Right to Rent documents. Please bring your passport and student ID with you to the office.

4. Each applicant will need to nominate a UK-based guarantor (usually a parent); the guarantor must give their consent by completing a form and return it to us within 48 hours. If you don’t have a UK-based guarantor, you are able to purchase Guarantor+ insurance through Zero Deposit (a trading name of Global Property Ventures Limited).

Nominating a lead tenant

Liability

All tenants remain jointly and severally liable, but a lead tenant is required for administration purposes.

Paying the holding deposit

If you apply for one of our properties, the holding deposit will need to be made as one payment from a single nominated bank account belonging to one of the applicants (not a third party).

Direct debit

When your tenancy commences, the rent will be collected via direct debit from one nominated bank account.

Tenancy agreement

Again, this 'lead tenant' will be no more responsible for the property or paying the rent as your tenancy agreement means you are all joint and severally liable.

Guide to renting

Please see our guide to renting for further details.
