We are proud of what we are creating in terms of brining the personal and emotional aspect back into the property sector whilst maintaining the highest level of professionalism.

It gives us the driving force to deliver which means we will work all hours necessary to ensure your property is in safe hands, progressing both effectively and efficiently from the very start and all the way to conclusion. This is what sets MOXY apart. Play time is far more enjoyable when we have accomplished our goals and overcome any challenges.
MOXY specialises in all types of property, including residential to commercial, apartments to houses, listed buildings to New Homes. Whether it’s a studio or 6 bedroom detached mansion, the MOXY team really have what it takes. The skills we have gained from over 30 years combined experience and the processes created, we can use all amenities to find you the best possible tenant, within quickest possible time, not comprising any aspect.
SO, if you have a property ready to let, tenant’s given notice, or currently let but need more from your managing agent, continue reading. Whether its support now, or in the future, MOXY’s sole motivation will be to obtain you, our client, the best solution for your needs and the best choices which won’t ever be influenced by the level of money or time. The highest quality of tenants, within the quickest possible timeframe, whilst all at the same time providing the best customer service.
Our MD, Emma acts as a powerful leader focused on protecting our client’s investment, encouraging growth and increasing profit. MOXY’s innovation comes from the love for being authentic rather than the need for approval, which shows in our level of client retention.
