It's all about service   

Every month we call some of our customers back to find out how we're doing. We ask them to rate how helpful and polite their advisor was and how fully we resolved their query.

From October to December 2016, we received our highest score to date of 9.7/10. 

We're really pleased with the consistently high feedback in 2016 but there's always room for improvement, and we'll continue developing our service in pursuit of 10/10 scores in 2017!

Thank you!

We'll be there... Will you? 

We're delighted to be a sponsor at the ARLA Propertymark Exhibition on 28 March at the ExCel London. The ARLA Propertymark Exhibition is one of the most prestigious events for professionals and individuals involved in the private rented sector - an event not to be missed.

Visit us at stand D7 and say hello. You can also have a go at cracking our safe for a chance to win an iPad mini. We look forward to seeing you there!

Will you be there?

Alexander Road gets a new lease of life  

We're always excited to hear back from the charities we've supported and how our donations have helped them. Last month, it was the great work of StopGap in Sheffield. This month it's Y Supported Accommodation (YSA) who received an award back in 2015.

We were thrilled to hear that our £15,000 donation has allowed them to continue refurbishing their Alexander Road site, a place young people can call home for a short period of time.

You can read more about how our donation has helped them over on our blog, including a story about 'Tom' who turned his life around thanks to YSA.

Changes to the Privacy Policy

We've amended our Privacy Policy in line with section 35 of the Housing and Planning Act 2016.

The change reflects the requirement for us to provide information that relates to a tenancy of premises to Local Housing Authorities in England, in accordance with section 212A of the Housing Act 2004.

Local Authorities can combine this with other information obtained by them, and they may pass this on to an organisation that provides services to the authority, in relation to their duties under parts 1-4 of the Housing Act 2004.
