About us

I am a small-time landlord. I own just one student house. My husband and I have been managing this house for 30 years. We enjoy student tenants as it is interesting to watch them maturing and enjoying their newly gained independence.

We feel that the major benefit we offer tenants is that we can respond quickly to any problem that might arise. Even if we are away our capable son is also nearby. We take seriously the safety and security of our tenants and their property.

Another benefit , that all our previous tenants have opted for, is for me to pay all the bills by direct debit while the tenants add a sum to their rent payments.  The sum added is just an estimate of what the costs will be but it has usually worked out about enough. There is no charge for this service and any under or over payment is settled at the end of the tenancy.

Nearly all groups stay 2 years and we have received many letters of commendation (see below).

Our tenants sign a joint tenancy agreement taken from the Unipol website. We do not charge for preparing this. We take a deposit which is lodged with the Deposit Protection Service. We have rarely made deductions from the deposits.

All the best,
 

Via letter:

1. Dear Mrs Furlonger,

Thankyou for sending the deposit refund cheque to our daughter, Helen last week, following the end of her tenancy at 19 Gedling Grove.

We would just like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation for the efficient and considerate manner in which you have handled affairs at the house over the past two years. Having experienced in recent years real difficulties with landlords when our two older daughters were at University and lodging in Leeds and Liverpool, it was refreshing to deal with someone who is well-organised and who attended to problems both responsibly and effectively.

Helen has enjoyed her time in Nottingham and we believe you have helped to contribute to her enjoyment by your attentive approach coupled with your sense of fairness and integrity.

You represent all the good qualities that parents hope to find in a landlady/landlord but don’t always get!

May we wish every success for the future.

Yours Sincerely,

David and Eileen Jumer
