#1 Student Lettings Agency
We’re incredibly proud to share that Student Housing and our co-founders, Marcus Askam-Yates and Harry Conti, were recently featured in Letting Agent Today in an article highlighting how two former university dropouts turned their experience into a thriving student lettings business.
From Straight A’s to Student Housing Success
The article shines a spotlight on Marcus and Harry’s journey from university dropouts to successful entrepreneurs—proving that sometimes the traditional path isn’t the only path to success. Their story is one of resilience, creativity, and a deep understanding of the challenges faced by students in the rental market.
Drawing from their own experiences as students, Marcus and Harry set out to improve the quality of student housing in Lincoln, Nottingham, and Hull. Their mission was simple: to create high-quality, all-inclusive student homes that make the renting experience as stress-free and enjoyable as possible.
Why Student Housing Stands Out
At Student Housing, we pride ourselves on offering:
All-inclusive student accommodation, with bills, broadband, and TV licences included.
Modern, fully furnished properties designed to be a true “home from home.”
Energy-efficient solutions to keep costs down and protect the environment.
Transparent, honest communication that builds trust with both students and landlords.
Our commitment to raising standards in the student rental market has made us the highest-rated student lettings agency in the region, with over 600 properties under management.
A Journey of Growth and Learning
The feature in Letting Agent Today highlights not just our success, but the lessons learned along the way—from managing difficult tenants to navigating the ever-changing housing market. Marcus and Harry’s determination to build something better has driven our growth year after year.
We’re proud of what we’ve achieved so far, but even more excited about what’s to come. Our story proves that with passion, hard work, and a student-first mindset, anything is possible.
