Owner and Managing Director
Bob Leydon (MARLA)

Responsibilities:  Lettings Guidance • Marketing • Overseer

Interests:  Harmonica • Accordion • Cycling

Profile:
Bob Leydon let his first student house in 1987 and as a portfolio landlord is also the owner of Leydon Lettings Agency.

His vision was to provide students with quality housing, banishing the notion that student accommodation could be inferior because each house was “just for students”.

Using his experience in construction and lettings, Bob sought to raise standards by providing students with double kitchens, double beds, en-suites, extra bedroom sockets, additional safety features and more.

Ultimately students become professionals who want somewhere to live, so he established a separate arm – Leydon Lettings accommodation for professionals.

With a desire to exchange knowledge and lobby authorities, Bob set up the Canterbury Landlord’s Forum. He continues to aspire to excellence.

He holds NFOPP Level 3 Technical Award in Residential Property Lettings and Management and is a member of ARLA, SLA, RLA, TPO, Safe Agent (S4887) & NLA.
