How can we help you?
Independent. Local. Knowledgeable
IMS has been helping people find homes across Oxford and beyond for almost 20 years. As an independent company, we’re not tied to any lenders or targets – our advice is based on what’s right for you.
For us, it’s always been people first. From your first chat with us through to getting the keys, you’ll deal with the same expert team who truly care about helping you. Many clients come back to us or recommend us, and that comes down to trust and being straightforward from the start. Because our mortgage, lettings and insurance teams all work together, everything is joined up properly. No running around, no unnecessary hassle, just a team that’s got you covered from start to finish.

Keep things moving
Once agreed, we stay close to the process – working with solicitors, brokers and agents to keep things moving so delays don't build.

Exchange contracts
This is where it becomes legally secure. Contracts are signed and dates are set. We make sure everything is in place and you know exactly what you are signing and when completion will happen.

Step seven
Get the keys
Completion happens, funds transfer and the keys are yours. It's a big moment. We guide you through the final steps so everything runs smoothly and you can enjoy it.

After completion
Protection and insurance
Once you're in, it's about looking after what you've bought. From insurance through to planning your next move, our team has you covered for the long term.
Areas we cover in Oxford
Oxford is really a collection of very different neighbourhoods – here's where our local knowledge runs deepest, inside the city itself.
Oxford’s centre is one of the most recognisable cityscapes in the world, built around the university’s colleges, and it remains a genuine place to live as well as visit – with everything from period conversions to new city-centre apartments.
North Oxford and Jericho are where the city’s academic and creative character really shows – leafy Victorian streets, a canalside village feel, and some of Oxford’s most sought-after family homes.
East Oxford is the city’s most diverse and energetic quarter, anchored by the Cowley Road’s independent restaurants and bars, with quieter, historic Iffley Village just a short walk from the river.
East of the city centre, Headington and Marston combine strong employment on the doorstep with easy access into Oxford, making them popular with professionals working locally as well as commuters.

“We had an amazing experience with Michelle as our mortgage advisor. She was incredibly helpful, friendly and professional throughout the whole process. She always replied very quickly, even outside normal working hours, and was always happy to answer any questions we had. Thanks to Michelle, the whole mortgage process was quick, easy and completely stress-free. We really appreciate all her help and support and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a mortgage advisor. Thank you so much, Michelle! ❤️”
“Very helpful, supportive and efficient team – our experience with them has been great so far, highly recommend!”
“Very simple process to renew a mortgage – Michell did identify some new providers; however, in the end, staying with the current provider proved most appropriate and even updated arrangement with cheaper interest rates in the immediate days preceding the expiry date – all very simple and straightforward – would recommend”
“My partner and I were first time buyers and the thorough and timely support of Michelle and her team made the process of securing our mortgage quick and stress-free.”
“Really good communication and speed of response. This was our first time buying so Michelle really helped us through the process.”
