Over a period of more than 36 years in the letting and property management industry, I have worked with many wonderful people. When I started Specialist Letting Ltd in early 2018 some wanted to show their support for this new venture and I include here some of their comments about our work together over the years.
"Simon Tyrrell is a very likeable person who combines excellent local knowledge of the Oxford market with a professional and efficient manner ..."
James Lawrie, Christ Church

"... From our initial discussions, before changing agent, and over the 10 years that you managed our portfolio, we felt that you always gave constructive and helpful advice. Your guidance on the local property market, property standards and general industry knowledge were much appreciated, and all delivered with a straightforward and charming manner... "
Fiona Fullerton, Portfolio Landlord

"... I always felt that you had a soft spot for the house, and understood what I was trying to do with it. I am most grateful to you for the sound advice you have given over the years, especially on the renovation work. Even when I didn't take it, you were probably right..."

"I've known Simon for over 20 years, during which time he has guided me through being a landlord and a tenant. I know him to be resourceful, diligent and reliable.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to any prospective landlords or tenants."

"... You were always so patient, to me at least, with all the hassle I gave you. Grateful, doesn't even begin to cover how I felt when you stepped in and represented me in difficult circumstances. Over more than 10 years, you directed the management and gradual modernisation of my portfolio sensitively and sensibly. You always did so much extra. I wish you the best of luck..."
