What Our Tenants Say...

From 2022 and 2021:

"Many thanks for being such a wonderful landlord! I will forever treasure the two years I spent living on Thief lane! The location couldn’t be better in terms of being close to both the uni and town and any maintenance issues were resolved also immediately. Would recommend to anyone! Thanks again!"

" By far the best landlord I’ve had both at uni and when renting as a non-student. Very reliable, supportive and friendly, as was Les who dealt with the maintenance. I stayed in the house for three consecutive years and recommended Den to all of my friends at uni. Thank you for my time in 84 Thief Lane!"

"Den was my first experience of having a landlord and I’ve since realised he has set the bar extremely high! Thank you for always responding so promptly to any issues."

"Moving to 26 Newland Park Drive was the best decision we could have made. It is in the perfect

location for Uni of York students - within a 5 minutes walk to Campus West, 30 minutes walk to the

centre of York and 5 mins to a bus stop if you prefer. It is situated on a lovely lit up residential street,

nice and quiet for studying, particularly since it is far from the noisy traffic of the main roads.

Four of the bedrooms are incredibly spacious and light. Even though one bedroom is on the smaller

side, it still has room for a double bed with lots of storage, a desk and my housemate absolutely

loved its cosy feel. The kitchen has everything you need and more - the dishwasher was an absolute

lifesaver and tumble dryer meant we didn't have to clutter our rooms with drying clothes. The

garden was lovely for BBQs in the warmer summer months and a haven during lockdown.

Finally, the landlord is extremely attentive and quick in responding to messages. If anything was

broken he would soon arrange for Les to fix it and if anything needed replacing he would not

hesitate. All in all we were very lucky and so happy there that we stayed for two years until we

graduated."

"Thanks Den! We really have appreciated your responsiveness over the past year"

"Thank you so much den. You were the best landlord anyone could ask for!"

"Thank you Den we really appreciate it. We loved the house and will miss being in York.

Best wishes"

"Ideal location for Uni of York students - very short walk to the west campus and next to a

bus stop to get to east/town. Our landlord was very responsive and fixed any issues we had

immediately with no fuss."

From 2020:

"Yorkstudenthouses have far and away exceeded all expectations. We were made to feel welcome from the get go, with fast communication, and critically, a clear attitude of actually caring about the tenants and our happiness. All reasonable requests were fulfilled in a quick and friendly manner, far more so than I expected. Thank you so much for this year Yorkstudenthouses, wishing you all the best!"

"Thanks for being a great landlord"

"Thanks for the message Den, and for being a great landlord - we've all really enjoyed living in the house this year, and I would certainly recommend you as a landlord to anyone who asked!"

"Thank you very much for the past year!"

"Easy living at a great price for the location. Landlord is great, easy-going and gets things sorted straight away. No agencies to deal with!"

From 2019:

"My friends and I lived in a total of 3 of Yorkstudenthouses’ properties, and all of them were in a great location close to the uni, the shops and easy to get home to after a night out. Den is a reliable and friendly landlord and exceeded our expectations of him. Any maintenance required was completed quickly and to a high standard by the local Les, making us feel safer and more at home in York. I cannot thank them enough for housing us throughout our time at university."

“ Just wanted to say a big thanks for this year, any issues we had were dealt with really promptly. Les and gardener were also really nice and helped us out. We all loved living in such a great place for our final year of uni”

“…and thanks for being a great landlord!!”

“ thank you so much! It’s been a lovely house for us this year”

“ thank you for returning our deposit and being excellent to deal with all year”

“ thanks so much for everything Den!”

“ thanks for everything … All the best”

" I just want to say thank-you so much for everything you and Les have done while I’ve been living at …. You’ve been very supportive especially when I’ve found it difficult to pay rent!”

“ Just wanted to thank you for being an excellent landlord.”

“ In all seriousness, thank you for returning our deposit and being excellent to deal with all year. I’ll be sure to put some positive feedback on the site. All the best.”

And previous years:

"We love the location and the way you run your houses so we were wondering what the options are for us to stay wth you"

" Just wanted to say thanks for being such a great landlord, I really enjoyed my time at the house!"

"The location is fantastic! Extremely close to the University, yet the city centre is within easy reach..."

"...far beyond our expectations..."

"Thank you for a wonderful two years. I will remember my student days with fond memories of the house that I called my home!"

"Not at all what you would expect from a student house"

"It was a lovely house and made me feel like home. Very close to the West Campus and also walkable to the town in case there is no bus on Christmas Day and New Year Day. The location was also very calm and less noise. I already miss the house. " 2017

"Honestly speaking, Den was probably one of the most understanding landlords we came across. Not only was there a "no questions asked" policy in terms of any fix-ups in the house, but Den was sympathetic and accommodating to any unique situations that would arise. 100% would recommend!" 2017

"As a first time renter, Den made the whole process very transparent and easy. He sorted any

maintenance issues quickly, and was open to requests to make small changes to the house (for

example we wanted to paint some walls white and Den supplied the paint and tools for us to do so)." 2017

"We really valued having a reliable and trustworthy Landlord and ended up renting a different one of

Den’s houses in our third year." 2017

"Thief Lane is a great place to live in your second/third year. Lots of the houses are rented by

students, and you’re incredibly close to campus." 2018

One from a tenant who stayed 3 years:

"Having lived in a Yo10Homes property for three years now, I couldn't be happier with the place. The landlord's very laid back but also attentive if things go wrong, the location's great, the house is in good shape and the rules about making it our own are very relaxed - no weekly inspections of how clean the floors are or laminated instructions for which cupboard the plates go in! As one of the few 7-person student houses in York it was amazing to find one so close to the university (less than 10 minutes walk to the centre of Heslington West) and for such a reasonable price. Things that you take for granted before university like a decent sized bathroom, double glazing, secure doors, storage space and a decent garden were no problem. The fact that the owners are former York students means they understand what you're looking for - I thoroughly recommend Den and Vicki to any York students looking for a great home with minimal hassle."

And some unsolicited ones from tenants' mum's:

"Also - many thanks for being by miles, the most responsive and helpful landlord that any of my 3 uni student daughers ever had! Makes such a difference to their university experience and their lives up there"

"I just wanted to say thanks so much for all your prompt replies to my sudden requests for info!"

"thank you so much for doing that so promptly - E always said that you were always great with any problems and a great landlord"
