Established in 1987, Leydon Lettings has significant experience in Student Lettings within Canterbury.
Leydon Lettings provides students with a professional lettings service. With state-of-the-art facilities and friendly staff, the service is intended to improve the quality of life for all Leydon Lettings students.
What distinguishes Leydon Lettings from any other landlord or letting agent? The law provides that smoke alarms are compulsory in almost all landlords rented houses, likewise gas certificates and Energy performance certificates. All houses are licensed or accredited. So is every other landlord - big deal!
So why should students go with Leydon Lettings? Leydon Lettings demonstrate that they genuinely care about tenants with actions. How many landlords like Leydon lettings spend up to £50,000 renovating a house before letting to students? In most houses Leydon Lettings even provide leak resistant measures. Should a washing machine flood then all the most recent house refurbishments now have an internal flood prevention system.
All Leydon Lettings houses feature bedroom door-locks and double-beds mostly with orthopedic mattresses. In addition Leydon Lettings provide internet, phone and TV connections to every student in every room! Leydon go even further - by making the internet connections convenient and faster with both wireless and hard-wired connections!
Over half Leydon Lettings tenants enjoy private en suite bedrooms. Three quarters also enjoy double-amenity kitchens with: two hobs, two hoods, two sinks, two drainers, two fridges and more - all let houses include at least one washing machine and one dryer and most often a dishwasher too!
Leydon Lettings redistribute space in all houses so rooms that were previously only a baby-room are enlarged to accommodate double beds. Every room is electrically rewired to include at least 8 power point sockets, one TV point and one data internet point and even a telephone point! All fitted above desks for easy access. Add a comfy leather office swivel chair and you distinguish between one landlord or agent and Leydon Lettings! All furniture bought brand new to match the desk, wardrobe with additional drawer space below, large chest of drawers and bedside table. Newly decorated throughout with new curtains and flooring.
What happens when the boiler fails, the shower leaks, a tenant gets locked out? Leydon Lettings maintenance crew excel in looking after it's student residents. It is not enough to merely attend to a problem on the same day reported - although many would be content if their landlords responded so quickly. Leydon lettings pre-empt problems before they cause unnecessary disruption.
Leydon Lettings regularly check and clear drains of potential blockages. Leydon Lettings do not merely require an annual gas certificate as prescribed by law, but also demand a full gas appliance service of the entire system in every house, thereby prioritizing student safety as well as preventing the ultimate disruption otherwise endured by students during lectures, seminars, revision or worse - during exams.
With a friendly staff, Leydon Lettings has a professional team, well able to promptly meet students needs.
