Discover what a good student letting agent really does for landlords — from compliance and tenant sourcing to rent collection and maintenance. Learn how Student Housing simplifies student property management across Lincoln, Nottingham & Hull.
Let’s be honest — managing a student house sounds easy until you’ve spent a Saturday chasing six separate rent payments, two maintenance contractors, and a missing fire safety certificate.
That’s where a good student letting agent earns their keep.
If you’ve ever asked yourself “Should I use a letting agent for my student property?” — this is for you.
At Student Housing, we handle every part of the process: marketing, compliance, maintenance, and tenant support. Here’s what a proper letting agent does (and why it makes all the difference).
It’s not just about putting a ‘To Let’ board outside.
Over 93% of students start their accommodation search online, so visibility is everything. Our website ranks #1 on Google for key student search terms in Lincoln and Nottingham, and we list on more third-party sites than anyone else in the city.
Add to that our email campaigns, sponsored university events, and 20,000+ flyers each season — and your property gets maximum exposure before other agents even finish resizing their photos.
Result: Faster lets, shorter voids, higher returns.
Every tenancy we manage uses a Joint Liability AST, meaning all tenants share responsibility for the rent.
We collect deposits through MyDeposits, vet UK guarantors, and align payment schedules with the student loan calendar (September, January, and April).
Landlords never have to chase a late payment or worry about rent arrears again — we do it all for you, professionally and on time.
Gas Safety Certificates, EICRs, HMO licences, Fire Risk Assessments, Legionella checks, EPCs — the list grows every year.
A good letting agent doesn’t just remind you when these are due; they make sure they’re done, logged, and legally watertight.
Our management service covers all compliance requirements, working closely with accredited contractors and local councils to keep your property safe, legal, and fully covered.
When a tenant reports a leak, you shouldn’t be scrolling through plumber reviews.
We handle every job using qualified contractors — including our in-house electrician and approved trades network — at competitive prices.
Through Bric, our online management platform, landlords can view live updates, maintenance logs, and invoices 24/7. No chasing, no confusion, no stress. Everything is stored in our Cloud Property Management Portal
Your rent payments are tracked and handled automatically. If tenants fall behind, we issue reminders, manage payment plans, and, when necessary, work with Bridge McFarland LLP and Myerson Solicitors to recover debts legally and efficiently.
It’s professional rent collection with built-in accountability — no awkward calls required.
We carry out regular inspections throughout the tenancy to make sure your property is well-looked after.
You’ll receive digital reports and photos via your landlord portal, so you can see exactly how your investment’s performing without leaving the sofa.
You know those “extra” charges some agents slip in?
Setup fees. Renewal fees. Inspection fees. Inventory fees. Professional service fees. - Yeah, we don’t do that.
Our management fee covers everything: marketing, tenant find, rent collection, maintenance, safety checks, and emergency callouts.
Simple. Transparent. All-inclusive.
Because we specialise purely in student lettings, we know what tenants actually want — and what they’ll pay for.
From interior upgrades to EPC-linked bills allowances, we offer free investment advice that helps landlords improve property performance year after year.
A good letting agent doesn’t just manage your property — they protect it, grow it, and keep you out of the paperwork chaos that swallows self-managing landlords whole.
With Student Housing, your property is marketed, maintained, and managed by people who understand the student market inside out — because we were students ourselves.
