Point of Difference

Point of Difference is owned and operated by Andy and Vashti Bedwell. We’re a husband and wife partnership who have worked together for around 15 years and been married a bit longer than that. We share a passion for our business and for living life to the full.

We take care of everything so that you don’t have to.

Whether it’s a home or a workspace you’re looking for, we operate on a simple, all-inclusive basis. That means we take care of the bills – heating, lighting, council tax/rates, cleaning etc; allowing you to plan your budget easily and spend more of your time doing what you want to be doing.

We believe in personal contact with people you meet, know and trust. That’s why we’re personally involved in all of our business activities and contactable if you have any issues. Our team is small and share our values so you should always know what to expect.

Lastly, we like to treat people with respect and understand that situations change. If times become difficult for you for whatever reason, we’ll treat you like a human being, not a contract.

We have a range of high-quality rental homes in Bicester and York. In our shared houses, rent includes all bills, cleaners, gardener, fast wifi and a great community of like-minded, carefully screened housemates.

We are responsive, involved and professional NLA accredited landlords.

We work closely with like-minded business partners and aspire to be the “best in Bicester” at what we do.
